Maaaan, I'm conflicted. Someone on eBay UK has like 10 copies of the game at £60 each.

I really wish I could verify whether or not they're some of the stolen copies. A £20 premium to have it a week or so in advance...

 

[dragonflys545]

I'm feeling the hype now.

You mean to tell me you haven't been feeling the hype from all those other impressions xD

Four copies gone in ten minutes, better decide quick

 

[AKyemeni]

Just got to the splash screen.

It's alright, I guess. Too slow for my liking though. Hope it picks up soon.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I am so excited for the photo mode thread, the possibilities are insane.

I'm such a photo mode fiend. Ill have to only use it on my second playthrough, I use it ao often it kills the games pace.

[Chalupa Batman]

Better opening than TLOU ??

Yes, for sure. Also, I just teared up

 

[Equanimity]

I have. It's kicked in big time in the past couple of days. All the fantastic impressions and excitement are hype inducing.

Yea found it and ordered already. £20 extra for a week early is fine by me.

So tempting...

 

[zsynqx]

Yes, for sure. Also, I just teared up

They killed someone already?

Don't answer that btw

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes, for sure. Also, I just teared up

Holy shit... now TLoU did not tear me up, but it did give me a little bit of sympathy.

I am also more character invested going into UC4 than that of TLoU. Can't not wait!

 

[Primethius]

Just completed what I assume is the intro in about an hour (intro credits came up).

I wanted to chime in on Arne's comments and give my perspective on the intro. Is this the best Uncharted intro? Yes, easily and by far. UC2 is really the only competition and it really doesn't hold a candle to this one.

However, I think people are going to be pretty divided on whether or not the TLOU intro or this intro is better. I'm in the latter camp. I think this intro is paced better, lets the game breathe a bit more and slowly eases you into the tone and pacing of the game. What the TLOU intro has over this one and what I assume most will immediately compare it to is the emotional punch (which for me, really is the core of the intro). While UC4 gets pretty emotional, there's nothing quite like TLOU's gut punch.

tl;dr I think it's the best intro, though I could see why others would prefer TLOU's.

Edit: Another reason I really liked the intro was because it really just made me forget that this is Sam's first game. Like, wow.

Thanks for the impressions. You could not have said it any better for the perspectives.

I'm thinking of visiting some retailers this Thursday to find a copy of U4 in the UK.

How many days before release do retailers usually stock up on a game? Anyone know?

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Cracked. eBay copy arriving tomorrow.

How long ago you ordered? I saw you made a thread a while back saying your copy was on it's way.

My copy is arriving tomorrow. Wanted to make this so all discussion on features and story can be kept out of the news thread. Perhaps best to tag story spoilers just to be safe.

 

[Primethius]

Oh and another thing I forgot to mention.

The animations in this game are absolutely the best. But you probably knew that or had a feeling. However, the animations, combined with the TLOU-esque melee system and the contextual animations kicking in alongside the AI helping you...

Good fucking lord, I have never been more impressed with a brawl. Just the seamless way everything blends together.

Holy fuck.

Aye, that's a good price to get it early, much more palatable than £100+.

Smaller retailers probably at the weekend, my local niche store was adamant they wouldn't get it before Tuesday though.

 

[Omnistalgic]

I agree, higher difficulties on Uncharted 1-3 aren't that fun.



I'm plenty good enough, just prefer being able to move around and be a little reckless (much like Nate) instead of being constantly pushed into cover.

ohhh ok I gotcha...yeah that's a fun style to play as well...

 

[zsynqx]

Sigh. I bought the ebay copy, feel scummy but I couldn't wait.

Still gunna keep my special edition preorder

Forever guilty.

 

[jjonez18]

Is selling game cases a thing? I want the SE, but I hate that there's no regular case included. I'm thinking about downgrading to the regular edition just because of it.

 

[Tabasco]

I'm assuming the eBay listing is EU only?

 

[Memento]

So, there is already 4 dudes here that said the intro was better than TLOU's in their opinion, right?

The hype levels are reaching critical levels now.

[brandonh83]

Hopefully the intro is a little less on the nose predictable than The Last of Us'.

 

[dragonflys545]

Yes, for sure. Also, I just teared up

Dude.... Damn now I'm afraid. Note to self, better have an amazing day before I start the game.

 

[Shin-chan]

Tempted by the UK eBay copies but I can't shake the feeling that they're stolen and I'd rather just wait a few days more for a legit copy.

Now if it could be posted to arrive tomorrow that would be a different story.

Eh, I think that depends on what you find is predictable. I think this intro is better then TLOUs precisely because it works without needing an emotional hook like that game to get it going, though there is one.

But more importantly, the intro is better from a game perspective. This games intro isn't TLOU in design at all. Your not walking and observing.

Definitely sounds better to me then. I dunno, I did the math during TLOU intro real quick and wasn't really affected by it. Not saying that you have to be surprised in order to feel emotional impact, but something about it just didn't work for me at all.

 

[MegaSackman]

Is not neccesary to talk about The Last of Us guys, it's a completely different game with different goals.

not worth it man.

Don't let hype control your decisions. Just another week, it's not gonna kill ya. Plus that's when everyone will be officially talking about the game anyway.
