i'm purchasing nathan drake, but only as a birthday gift
Yeah, battery sucks. I got a 10' long usb cable on monoprice for like $2 (tax not included) and it helps in those moments. Check it out.

yep thats what i did last-gen with my ps3 too. i had a phat launch ps3 and only played exclusives so the battery wouldnt keep a charge after awhile. didnt want to buy a new controller or replace the battery because i barely touched it. long usb cable worked like a charm.

Um...I think Nolan North just revealed an Uncharted 4 location?!?
Skip to 4:26. He mentions having to pretend the mocap studio is "Italy," even though none of the already-released Uncharteds that he's worked on (1-3, GA, EoI) take place there, not even the U4 demos. Looks like he kinda realizes the mistake & quickly says "England" afterward.

That sounds like a very Uncharted location.
Oh god I can just imagine some crazy sequence in the canals in Venice. Please let it be.
I agree for reasons

I think I might pull the trigger on this collection just to balance out all the other games I have that all want me to collect 50 doodads or earn 50,000 doodad points.
A linear, story-driven action adventure done right might be just what the gaming doctor ordered.

It's funny because it wasn't long ago when people were crying about linear games when open world games never really evolved beyond collectathons and fetch quests and trying to otherwise be cinematic. So it was a bunch of whining for nothing.
Kudos to ND for not buckling.

Actually though, it's pretty surprising Uncharted hasn't taken place there yet. I mean...really?

Just in case anyone is on the fence or just plain excited for the release, I streamed about an hour of the game--playing all 3 games--with fellow GAFers and we had a blast. The video is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVAdRoZmewk
In addition, my thoughts are:
I've played through Drake Fortune Remastered (1) & Among Thieves Remastered (2). I'm currently nearing the end of Drake's Deception Remastered (3). If you've never played the Uncharted games, love third person action adventure and own a PS4--get this! It's fantastic. This is how remasters should be done. Technical (1080P/60hz) & quality of life improvements (load times, etc) without changing the base game.
This Drake's Fortune is the most jarring for me. Even Remastered it doesn't look as good as I recall, but it's still a damn fun game to play through. Also, keep in mind it's a first generation PS3 game that was released in 2007!
Among Thieves is fantastic, and as it was back in 2009--it's incredibly impressive ti play right after playing fist game. It's fun, frantic, wonderfully paced, hilarious when it want's to be, and still the best in the series.
Drake's Deception is, of course, the best looking and the most technically impressive. In fact, at times I think it's better looking than some current generation games. Revisiting it now, it's actually more fun and engaging than I remember. It does go on for too long in some cases (hallucination section) but the shooting is also the best in the series.
If you're a returning player like me and have the itch to return to the series--I say go for it. It's a blast to play through all 3 games again and it looks amazing! I do wish they would've included a 30hz option much like The Last of Us had, particularly since Uncharted 4 is going to running at 30hz as well.
Also,before the day one patch (1.01) the game never crashed on me once, I never lost progress, or experienced corruption. The only bugs were little animation or minor collision bugs (pre-patch)
Anyway, hope this helps!

They're on my incredibly short list of devs that do linear games justice. And yeah, I love open worlds and progression systems, but it has become such a trend that I can play 4 or 5 games in an evening and they all feel like its the same meta resource collection errands, but in very different clothes. Still fun times, but sometimes the quest for extrinsic rewards can take more prominence than simple fun or advancing a story or reaching some kind of conclusion. I guess I've flipped screens to the point where I now look to linear games for some variety.

Just started replaying Uncharted 1 and wow the updated graphics is just beautiful feels like whole new game.
I think I'm one of few that actually likes uncharted 1 and now I'm loving it even more, always liked that old school Indiana Jones type feel to it, I have to say Youtube videos didn't do this game justice.

It's fantastic how much shit that guy drops by accident just because of his eccentric ways.

So they've taken out the possibility to play with cheats when starting a new game on a higher difficulty? So I'll have to play through all of Drake's Fortune on Crushing without One Hit Kills?

for those that downloaded the game: can you select which game you want to download or do you have to download them all?

Uncharted 1 really looks beautiful in motion - I never played the PS3 version, so I can't compare, but man the environments look absolutely amazing at times.
Uncharted 2 is my favorite as well, and I can't wait to get to that later on. This is easily worth the money, folks.

I believe it was always the case that tweaks only unlocked on the highest completed difficulty. So if you played through on normal, you couldn't use it on hard or crushing. That is indeed stil the case. Good luck on your non tweaked brutal playthrough

I caved and preordered this on the ps store. There are so many games I want to play this season and games I haven't beaten but Uncharted is one of my most cherised series. It will be great to have all 4 downloaded on one console.
They said I'd get free shipping if I ordered 50 copies....
I count 98

I just finished Drake's Fortune for the first time and I loved it, I did it on normal and even that got pretty hard towards the end, I died a lot. I would give it a solid 8/10 and if that's the worst of the three then the others must be incredible.
Big spoiler:
I will be starting Among Thieves tomorrow and I can't wait as most people say it's the best one.

Just beat Uncharted 1. Holy hell that game really stands up with modern games with all the effort Bluepoint put into it.
Now onto my favourite Uncharted...2!
Yeah, Uncharted 1 is for me the weakest in the series, though thats not saying much as it's still a fantastic game.
If you thought you liked Uncharted 1 then boy oh are you in a great time with Uncharted 2. Definitely the best one.

Quick question, never played Uncharted and have not been following news on the collection or this thread. Does the game run well without the day one patch? Is it all fully playable?
I just watched the video from the NX gamer thread and it appears to be. This is information i'd like to know before i would decide if it's time to pick up a PS4.

Awesome it came today! Thanks Amazon. Even better than u had hoped. Frame rate is perfect, gunplay feels far better. Beautiful games still.
Still got it.
this was suggested a while back when the collection was revealed, surprised ND missed this opportunity
The Nathan Drake Collection sounds like a clothing line
It's a one-piece where the the shirt's half-tuck is actually sewn into the inside of the jeans.

Let's do this!
So my copy from Simplygames also has the yellow dot on the frontcover, meaning mine is from UAE. Their website makes no mention of this, and further there is no foreign text whatsoever on the box. Game patched and runs fine. Not going to sell this collection anyway, but good to know for future orders..
At least it explains how i got my order so well in advance!
Amazed on how good UC1 looks. Should i be playing this on hard or crushing first playthru?
