Sony had some big guns out at their Las Vegas event over the weekend. But Uncharted 4 could easily be their Magnum .44, a franchise that fired three games and still has a few sequels left in the chamber. Uncharted 4 was revealed way back at E3 this year, as a haggard Nathan Drake returned to action. And here’s what the game actually looks like in motion.
I’m digging what I’m seeing so far. Drake may be older, but he’s still the best at climbing, sneaking and shooting his way out of situations. In fact, I’m liking the new stealth mechanics quite a bit, which have clearly taken some inspiration from The Last Of Us. And just look at those environments!
I’m of the mind that while we’ll slowly see less uncanny valley in video game characters this generation, it’s environments that will benefit the most from new hardware and software. The plants look and move beautifully, and the cliffs that Drake climbs over look scrumptious. As scrumptious as stone can be, that is.
And of course, Souff Effriken mercenaries. Say what you like about us, but when you need some antagonists with creepy accents and a choice selection of swearing, you can’t beat our in-game mercs. Last but not least, it looks like Drake has a brother to find in the game. A brother voiced by none other than that other prolific video game voice actor, Troy Baker:
“Good to see you’re alive, little brother.” Yes, that was me. Damn proud.

Queue: Day 1 patches, cut-content paid-for DLC and a lovely remaster for PC in a year.

Not Naughty Dog. They have too much passion. Also have BALLS to make a brand new IP like TLOU in the age of overly expensive production costs. HUGE risk and still the best videogame ever created. Its so good, it does not need any sequel milking.

The Ellie DLC is fcuking fantastic. A little shorter than a COD game but is perfect for her character development. Glad they released it after everybody finished the game because of the spoilers.
Thanks to the success of the PS4 version for those XBOX converts, another DLC is in the works.
The only milking NAUGHTY DOG do is in the office kitchen.

All they did was add a golden frame to the Mona Lisa for the EX-XBOX converts. PERFECT.

SHOCK HORROR
Its 60fps/1080p.
Darn, I so wish Dragon Age was 60fps. I have to keep freezing the camera panning just to take in the surroundings. A pity, one of those games that would have been perfect for 60fps.
All LOOTING games should have 60fps as mandatory.

December 8, 2014 at 10:49
Yes they should, but they can’t because if all the multi platform games ran better on the PS4 than the Shitbox then no one would support the green turd. Every PS4 exclusive has hit the 60fps thus far(I think) but muli platform has problems doing it?

Technically that was an awful reveal from the highly respected ND’s. You can judge by the first few mins how hard the studio has been hit by lay-offs. The graphics look like Uncharted 3.5 and nowhere close to Ryse, Unity and even The Order. That opening level demoed is far too similar to the one from Tomb Raider Underworld. Dude Raider will be going up against Lara and it’s going to get interesting.

Very Impressive yet I hope there is more goodness to come. Drake is a good series. I still feel that generation defining game has yet to be revealed or even made. Something in the same vein as Gears of War. When I first saw that, It was truly next gen at the time.
