The trees look really out of place next to Nate's model up close. They look really good from a distance though, which is what matters for standard gameplay. I hope we don't start a Driveclub leaves-like debate over it...

Bruce Straley on the leaks

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2016/04...harted-4-director-weighs-in-on-stolen-copies/

“For me, personally, I don’t care about the money” he explains. “Sony cares about the money and Sony should certainly be like, ‘We need to get these people, we need to stop these criminals.’ This is against the law, but that’s not my issue.

“My issue is spoiling things for the player. Because we craft these experiences and we have so many gems, we really go out of our way to preserve the experience for the player.

“That’s the thing that I get upset about, because we have major moments inside of this game that huge impact on the player. They’re specifically crafted; we’ve work very hard to craft this moment to make it land, make it impactful and to resonate into what you feel, if that’s spoiled for the player, then that hurts me and that hurts that player.

“Straight up, as the creator, that sucks.”

The problem is the policy that platform holders have.

These games should be released digitally before physical. It should be an incentive to go digital.

That way, those that are the most hyped won't be spoiled.

I'm sure their retail partners would love it. :/

What choice do their retail partners have? Not sell the games?

I figure this will eventually happen. It's the only way to prevent leaks. Physical copies take way too long to manufacture and ship, so it's bound to happen every single time.

The following is just very basic screenshots up close and/or in an area already shown in videos. Nothing new or revealing.

...

Looks so much better without the sharpen filter. Naughty Dog must include an option to play without it.

More images of scenes already shown to the public but in wacky angles! lol

FYI: getting up close shots of Nate without photo mode is a pain!

slasher you are doing gods work. No spoilers whatsoever in those shots. thank you so much!

I need to get off mobile. I'm not seeing a difference between the models at all.

I've come to the conclusion that Drake is just too handsome.

 

[Javin98]

Perhaps because there is none.

But to be fair, I'm on mobile as well and that could be the reason the gameplay and cutscene models are identical to me.

 

[zsynqx]

Enough with this screenshot nonsense, you have to carry on with the game. Need to here those impressions.

 

[Primethius]

It certainly looks that way. Models look identical, which is great and impressive.

I'm sure if you nitpick hard enough, you can see that the gameplay model has a few strands of eye brow short of the cutscene model.

 

[SlasherJPC]

No problem. I like helping those craving new shots but without spoiling things. I'd be right there with you all if I didn't have it already!

So because I like to actually own my games I need suffer a delay and likely get spoiled? Fuck that noise.

Preorder cancelled.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I actually own all the digital games I have.

Digital games should release the second the game goes gold.

You choosing to get a physical copy means you will have to wait for the disc to be pressed and shipped.

Digital owners shouldn't be held back because of physical owners. Nor should we be spoiled either. You have it backwards.

 

[Primethius]

Your not suffering a delay in that scenario. The digital game just isn't being artificially held back to satisify retailers.

Of course, I doubt that would ever happen. Many more factors in playing (marketing) that would push the digital date regardless.

So I was in the Easter Egg thread and someone linked to a website showing more pics of the Easter egg. But what caught my eye was that they said this at the end:

"Now we got that awesome easter egg out of the way, make sure to check back for our continued coverage of Uncharted 4. This includes our review which will go live on the site on Monday."

I'm guessing they acquired an early copy and aren't bound by any NDAs. Hopefully it's a relatively spoiler free but in-depth review.

 

[Wishmaster92]

What i was afraid of, not even close. The dream is ruined

aaaaaaaaaa

Joke post, man? The gameplay shot is so far away from the camera and the lighting conditions are totally different.

 

[Bunta]

Does anyone have any experience trying to get games early from Play N Trade (in the US)?

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Dont worry about it. Stay spoiler free.

The easter egg is hard to miss. Not exactly some super hidden secret behind a hidden door or anything like that.

Thanks. Will stay away from the thread.

 

[viHuGi]

Looks almost real wtf amazing amazing those pics!

 

[zsynqx]

Edit Actually nvm

 

[VeryNicePerson]

I was waiting for a confirmation before replying. It wasn't true?

don't see how it can be a joke post

Probably true but I'm not certain. That's why I took it down. Would be awkward if it was fake and some news site picked it up.

Dude, I already wrote down why I think it's not a serious post.

 

[VeryNicePerson]

Good decision. Let's just wait to see if this turns out to be true. It'd be great if that's the case.

Great, now I want to know what you said!

 

[The Artisan]

yeah I saw that but I don't see it being one.

 

[he who dwells]

Great, now I want to know what you said!

Possibly that they thanked Amy Hennig in the credits, not sure tho might be a fake.

 

[Javin98]

It's a flawed comparison, man. There are other shots that are closer to Nate's face and the lighting in that one isn't very flattering. That and the hilarious Pewdiepie GIF make me think it's a joke.

 

[Vire]

Can Slasher or anyone who has played it answer this..

So I've only seen the official Naughty Dog released footage, do you think they've done a good job of keeping a lot of the big moments secret/surprise?

I feel like they showed the coolest moments for Uncharted 3 ahead of release and that dampened the impact for some.

 

[Chalupa Batman]

There would be no reason for this to be fake. They thanked Infinity Ward and Bungie for helping with UC2 MP, so I'm sure they thanked Amy. It's her creation, after all.

I can answer this without having played the game. They've barely shown anything, and only one set piece (E3 car chase), so there's definitely tons to find for ourselves.

Awesome thanks, not even going to bother watching video reviews for this one.

No reason to.

It's best that way cuz you know some video review was going to spoil the s*** out of stuff.

What am I supposed to be looking at here? This massively blown up heavily cropped pic from a screenshot that takes up like maybe 5% of this total image would appear pixelated and blurry?

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Yikes

Jesus Christ Naughty Dawg played us. Those videos and screens were surely shown on a PS4 Neo or PC. No way I'm supporting such sleazy practice, I guess I'll wait until October to play this.. or I'll just watch this crap on Dailymotion. PFft.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Yeah. . So much they haven't shown. Get ready to have your socks knocked off!!!

Can I have another question, Slasher? Is the AI in game as good as that in the PSX demo? Is it the same as what ND has been demonstrating in various demos?
