Naughty Dog, Chloe, 10 hrs, 40$. Fair enough.
In UC3 it is clear that Chloe wasn't as obsessed with it as Drake.
How's the future? Who's heading to eh NBA Finals this year?

Graphics look improved over Uncharted 4. Still some flickering shadows though.

Hmmm wonder if they've improved the pro resolution of 1440p. The motion blur looks smoother.

Let me start off by saying that the boxart is almost doom levels of bad. August 22? Hyped. Hopefully the game is better than that boxart.

Why are you comparing the content of an open world RPG to the content of an action game? 8-10 hours for 40 dollars is perfectly fine.
Since when is 8-10 hours plus multiplayer for $40 a bad deal? That's well into the $60 range for the last 10+ years.

A $10 difference makes it "way too fucking expensive"? I mean, Amazon Prime/GCU negates most of that difference.
It's hard to compare linear games to open world ones. A lot of open world content is very basic quest design with strong writing to sustain it. Even with the much reduced focus on setpieces in Uncharted 4, there's some stuff you just don't see in open world games, like the clock tower setpiece, the Scotland ending setpiece, or the Madagascar chase. These things take a huge amount of resources, and are definitely worth the trade-off.
The Last Guardian can be completed in not much longer than that and it was definitely worth my pre-order, one of the greatest experiences I've ever had with gaming. I've spent more time thinking about that game than playing longer ones, and, personally, I think that counts a lot. Both TLG and Uncharted games would absolutely not be as good as they are without their strong setpiece direction, and instead mostly driven by fetch quests with dialogue.
Not to say the Witcher expansions are bad, not at all, but they're so different that a comparison based on length alone will not give the shorter ones as much credit as they deserve.
My favorite game is Persona 4, so I'm very much into long games, but you can't possibly look at it and Uncharted 2, to mention a game that came not too far from it, and think that Persona 4 must have cost a lot more just because it's much longer. Detail and variety cost a lot of money, too. If we let ourselves judge a game's value based on quantity alone, we're contributing to a less varied output. It's fine if it's your preference, but at least wait until you have a better idea of the quality of said content before stating that.

Cool I didn't know any of that. Thanks. I'm.still playing UC1. Lol.
Your comparing it to Witcher 3 & it's expansions to another game. I could easily compare Witcher 3 for $60 to any other game, and say Witcher 3 offers more bang for the buck. Does that mean every other game should cost $40? Nope. Supposedly this game is 6-10 hours, and has the full Uncharted 4 Multiplayer suite, which they might even support with free DLC. For $39.99 that seems like a fair price.

That's not how it works.
The PSX trailer showed some checkerboard artifacts in places and the motion blur had a much higher sample rate so both are definitely improved. Wonder if we'll see some of the improvements rolled into Uncharted 4 once this launches.

This. Hope the theme is available afterwards so I can buy seperately at least. Don't have any interest in J&D.

This is actually a great question, I bought a code for it off eBay when the game first came out and I think I redeemed it but there's no indication that I did so? Can anyone help here?

This could have been handled better but overall I agree, just felt like Chloe got the shaft in 4 and in UC2, the banter/flirting made it seem like Drake actually liked Chloe more and just cared deeply about Elena and her being hurt.
Still, I'm biased towards Chloe, and in real life, love isn't as simple as "settle down with the more down-to-earth girl" If I shared life/death experiences with my friend, we slept together numerous times, and both have a passion for gunplay and risking our necks for adventure, I don't think it would be realistic for me to turn down an invitation so easily when I'm longing for that life style again. Along with Elena just not being a replacement (banter wise) for Chloe, I just felt it was a missed opportunity for the devs to use. Especially with the idea of Drake "losing" something. He didn't really lose anything and played the gambling game again with his loved ones. It was kinda weak. I know TLOU is the more dark/gritty series, but I was expecting Drake to have some real loss this time because he was pushing the envelope, especially in light of the early marketing themes.

I would have bought this at full price but having bought the triple pack is even better.
Bring on my Chloe Uncharted! I missed Bae in 4.

It should be available in a day or two. If you already made the pre-order contact amazon so they fix it. Same thing happened with FF XII PS4 and a day or two later it reflected the discount on the pre-order page.

Holy shit it looks good. 22nd August is my birthday too so I am in like Flynn, day zero.
Witcher 3 had exceptional value. There is no beating that. Especially Blood and Wine was ridiculous for it's price. But really, you can hardly compare the games. Production values aren't tied to gamelength.
The Uncharted titles are heavily focused cinematic games with each section featuring consistently high production values and unique assets. Furthermore, 8-10 hours is about the length of each UC game prior to 4. How did you feel about those? (UC4 Mp is included in this one as well). For the AAA tps scene, 40 bucks for 8 hours or more is good.
