Uncharted 4 Megathread: Oh, Crap! - Games

With Uncharted 4 releasing very soon, I decided to make a megathread. This is my first attempt at a megathread so bear with me. [t]http://i.imgur.com/5obonqw.jpg[/t] Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an upcoming action-adventure third-person shooter platform video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment exclusively for the PlayStation 4 video game console. It is the sequel to Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and is the fourth and final installment in the Uncharted series starring Nathan Drake as well as the last in the series to be developed by Naughty Dog. The game will be released worldwide on May 10, 2016. Set several years following the conclusion of Drake's Deception, A Thief's End follows Drake as he reunites with his long lost brother, Sam, and seeks to save him from a ruthless tyrant by finding Captain Henry Avery's legendary fabled pirate treasure. [video=youtube;lElMrj25JHI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsXHjqr2fBg[/video] Characters: Nathan Drake [t]http://i.imgur.com/U9Ch8wr.jpg[/t] Nathan "Nate" Drake, is the protagonist and playable character of the Uncharted series. A treasure hunter professional thief, Nate is described as a "deep-sea salvage expert and action-pro" in the official Drake's Fortune manual. Since childhood, Nate has held the belief that he is descended from the famous English explorer Francis Drake. Elena Fisher [t]http://i.imgur.com/zb5bRUH.jpg[/t] Elena Fisher is an American journalist, TV personality and Foreign Correspondent. By the events of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, she is married to Nathan Drake. Victor Sullivan [t]http://i.imgur.com/jfVLCxj.jpg[/t] Victor "Sully" Sullivan is an American treasure hunter as well as friend and mentor at one point of Nathan Drake. Nadine Ross [t]http://i.imgur.com/6V9G2CQ.jpg[/t] Nadine Ross is an antagonist in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Nadine is of South African decent and is also the owner of a PMC called Shoreline. During Uncharted 4, Nadine and Shoreline are hired by Rafe Adler, a treasure hunter. Sam Drake [t]http://i.imgur.com/6iEkIPt.jpg[/t] Samuel "Sam" Drake is a major supporting character of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. He is the older brother of Nathan Drake and is a treasure hunter, seeking Captain Henry Avery's long lost pirate utopia, Libertalia. Pretty hyped for this. I really feel this is a good contender for Game of the Year. Please try to avoid posting spoilers until release.

I fucking love Uncharted. Somehow I hope that it'll get universally acclaimed like The Last of Us 3 years ago, but that's almost unrealistic. Probably because it's a sequel so it's harder to say it's a masterpiece when it's a series of masterpieces. I only do this once or twice a year, but this game is a Day 1 buy for me.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;50262197]I only do this once or twice a year, but this game is a Day 1 buy for me.[/QUOTE] Oh definitely, I still tear up a little whenever I put a new one in and hear the opening theme. Will be interesting to see how many open areas we end up getting.

To be honest I'm surprised people don't talk/hype about this game much. It's going to be a spectacular game for sure, maybe once the reviews are in?

I hope Sully doesn't die in this one

[QUOTE=Loadingue;50263738]To be honest I'm surprised people don't talk/hype about this game much.

It's the highest rated game of this generation so far, if you don't count remasters (GTA V, TLOU) I bought the Uncharted collection on PS4 recently, playing Uncharted 1 for the first time. I've heard that the first game hasn't aged as well as the others, but I'm still enjoying it.

I got into Uncharted, with 2, back in 2009, when I first got my PS3. This game is a day 1 for me too, I hope online is fun again, I loved going around rooftops and knocking mooks out with my mate in 3.

I'm so excited for this I can't handle it

I really like the TLOU style of in game purchases.

I never skip this ad when it occurs on Youtube, usually when listening to music. It gives off this bad feel good vibe. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD9dJZ6Dgx4[/media]

The character models ingame so damn good. [t]http://i.imgur.com/2AtQa5A.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Wv8L54L.jpg[/t] And those realtime cutscenes. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MYA68UF.png[/IMG] Most realistic human game characters for sure.

[QUOTE=CrimsonChin;50265296] And those realtime cutscenes.[/QUOTE] Wait, they're realtime this time around? Wow, they've been pre-rendered in every previous game. Man, ND are fucking WIZARDS.

[QUOTE=Shalaska;50265321]Wait, they're realtime this time around? Wow, they've been pre-rendered in every previous game. Man, ND are fucking WIZARDS.[/QUOTE] Yeah mainly because if they were pre-rendered they'd have to be highly compressed to fit on the disc and thus look bad. Plus I'm guessing if you choose a different costume, it will show in cutscenes.

To be honest I never disliked the pre-rendered cutscenes because Naughty Dog did them so well. - They're compressed so well that you'd think they're real-time, - They serve to hide loading times which means you can play the game in one go with 0 loading.

UC4 is already like 49gb without any huge 1080p videos though.

I cannot contain my hype! Been replaying the others in anticipation. Going to refinish the 2nd tomorrow and spend Sunday/Monday recompleting 3.

I used to own an xbox but when buying next gen I went for the PS4 so I haven't played any of the previous games, been thinking about renting them on playstation now before I get the new one. Would you recommend it? I think it's going to be a great game but get the feeling most the people who are hyped have played the previous games. I feel like by not playing the previous games I may not have the same experience as others.

I tried the MP mode for Uncharted 3 on the PS3 and the framerate is atrocious, does the game run better in the Singleplayer mode? I would love if I could disable the motion blur and the depth of field if it means that I can get a better framerate (the motion blur effect pisses me off more than anything). I don't see why the game shouldn't be running at 60 FPS. The combat still feels kinda ehh. I kinda regret getting U2 and U3 already, I'm not sure if I should even bother with the story anymore, I only played U1 and I thought it was extremely boring, wondering if U2 and U3 truly get any better.

[QUOTE=Sharker;50275858]You want a ps3 game to run 60fps? Might as well give up console games in general if 60fps is your minimum.[/QUOTE] That makes no sense. And I'll just end up getting Uncharted 2 and 3 on the PS4 instead if I'm able to.

Just beat Uncharted 3. Best level was the capsizing ship. That big room with the glass window was jaw dropping. Uncharted 4 has been dispatched to me already and I can't wait.

But it was still really fun to play and experience, though.

I thought the ship graveyard was the coolest part of the game. It was very unexpected and it reminded me of the starship graveyard from Mass Effect 2

Even though 2 is the better overall game, I quite like the locations of 3.

do the reviews say how long 4 is? im supposed to be saving so i cant decide if i should buy it on launch or not

My copy arrived yesterday and I finished it this morning. Took me around 12 hours to finish up the story. Good game.
