Sunshine adds his own post processing filter on top of the GIFs he makes. It's subtle but it's there. The improvements might just be his doing. But they do seem to have improved the artifacting atleast in object motion blur, camera blur is still the same.

Ahh. Wondered if he did, but assumed it was the game.

Loved chapters 1-3...But chapter 4 is going to absolutely slaughter this games replay value. It's boring, long and feels a little too close to the Ubisoft tower design.

Drive here, use Jeep to pull down these doors, fight these guys, climb this tower, turn this crank and on to the next one to do the exact same thing.

Heh.

Earlier today I called this the greatest chapter in the series and said it should be a template for ND games moving forward

Its gonna be divisive isn't it? 😬

So are the Jak & Daxter codes supposed to be emailed out by the retailer? My copy arrived just now and it had a code for "That's You" in it.

 

[george_us]

Up to Chapter 4 and I've done

Spoiler

two of the three shrines plus collected three tokens.

Overall I'm enjoying this far more than U4. There's still a lot of down time but the difference here is that the activities during this time are a lot more interesting and it's all peppered with enemy encounters. Right now it's giving Persona 5 a run for its money as GOTY. Fantastic stuff.

Can you imagine being the graphicer and doing that ass, zooming in and out on a computer screen all day.

Sounds exucuting.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I'm soooo ready to get out of work for this

 

[A.J.]

I don't know if things have changed, an error has occurred or it just seems that way for now, but....

I got this from the season pass for U4, and so was not supposed to get J&D. I even had a little rant about it, but it has added it to my downloads and library when grabbing the free TLL download from the store.

Has this happened to others?

J&D is still showing up as 14.99 for me even though I got TLL with the season pass

 

[george_us]

I guess from this post you're implying that Uncharted 4 has a weak start, I actually thought the first 5 or 6 chapters were super strong, and take you through quite a lot,
Boat set-piece > Young Nate & Sam > Prison, Sams "death" > Nate's job / home life > Sam flashback > Heist. I don't think the game really slows way the fuck down until Scotland, which is a very long chapter, although at that point the game really has to sell you on Sam for the rest of the game to work, if at that point you're not into him than I can see how it drags. I guess this game doesn't really have to establish new characters too much beyond a villain, so that probably helps the pace.

I honestly found most of those parts painfully dull save for the prison break. Even the Heist level didn't do much for me. Uncharted 4 was too busy being a character study when all I wanted is crazy treasure hunting adventures.

 

[Alucrid]

Heh.

yeah i thoroughly enjoyed the little side quest you do in chapter 4. felt like an uncharted adventure within an uncharted adventure

This is good to hear. Down time is not a bad thing, when used appropriately; allows them to give us some great character moments. The fact that they made it more engaging than just walking around big empty space like much of 4 is definitely exciting.

TLOU was much better about this but they had the benefit of the scavenging system to encourage further exploration..

If that's the case then ND is going to be met with the same backlash as Bioware was with DA:I and more so Andromeda with it's Remnant puzzles because this is very similar in design choice. You do the same things in 3 different locations and it's typical trash open world design.

 

[Basketball]

damn nice view
waterfall looks great too

 

[JJShadow]

A question regarding chapter 4:

Spoiler

is the side-mission related to that ? symbol in the map, or does it have something to do with finding those tokens?

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

What

What does this mean

A funny node between both titles but it also means there is still hope for another Jak And Daxter sequel since ND are trying big open settings with TLL. I really hope so.

 

[dreamer3kx]

How long?

I got mine from Shopto, they mailed out to say the code won't be valid until Wednesday. It'll be the same for Amazon as well.

Something so funny I noticed after replaying it LMAO

Spoiler

Whenever Nadine expresses worry towards Asav's "expert" and Chloe plays along / brushes it off bc it's Sam and she orchestrated it.. i fucking love this game y'all

But you really don’t do the same thing. One is a puzzle focused path, one is combat focused and one is more climbing focused. Only the jigsaw puzzle at the end of each similar but they each work a little differently.

it doesn't make sense to have Chloe's face covered anymore, it was just for her reveal but now there is no point.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Why did they change this?

E3:

Final:

To keep people guessing during the game's reveal. It serves no real purpose in the game now.

 

[Trevelyan]

Why did they change this?

I assume because they wanted the reveal to be a surprise, and have the audience be shocked when they see it's Chloe.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Loved chapters 1 and 2 so far

it was for dramatic reveal purposes (as it was part of the PSX reveal trailer not E3)

There's also this great line

when Nadine asks about her involvement with the Drakes: "Don't worry, Nathan Drake isn't in the picture anymore', conveniently leaving out Sam

 

[Spasm]

Tempted to snag a Pro, when I pick up my copy at BB tomorrow, for my new 4K TV. Somebody talk me out of it.

Do it

Do it!
Specially if your TV has HDR.

Sounds like a great idea

Sounds like a great ship to me; make it happen...

Thanks for nothin', jerks!

[Trigonometrize.]

I'm a ways through Chapter 4 and this game is delivering. It's refined the mechanics and level design of Uncharted 4 while reviving the tone and spirit of 2. This is so far the most I've enjoyed an Uncharted game since Among Thieves.

My Amazon UK code worked immediately in the web store. It's even playable already.

Make sure to enable 60Hz in the options otherwise there's constant motion judder.

START → OPTIONS → GRAPHIC OPTIONS → VIDEO MODE → 60HZ

 

[Jakartalado]

I'm not sure how.... but this looks tons of times better than UC4.

I mean, the HDR helps a lot with good amount of time to develop. But this is insane. The new art direction is just marvellous.

Some developers can excel at water or greenery, but this is the whole package. Greenery, water, mountains, animal life, etc.

Their compositions are without equal.
It seems like every chapter has one of those "wow holy shit that's pretty" moments.

Up to chapter 6 and loving the game thus far.

The chapter 5 puzzle kicked my ass for about 30 minutes.

Hopefully that's the hardest one in the game.
