UK first sales just released, sold 66% more than UC3, and likely doubled it when digital is included. It also sold more than RotTR and Halo 5 combined.
What went so right?

>What went so right?
Everything.
Good honestly, it's the best uncharted game.
The PS4 being the best selling console of this generation by far.
That's a big audience they have to buy into it. Even if they didn't play 1-3.
The game is fucking fun and looks absolutely cutting edge for a $300 console to be honest. Well deserved
I love how /v/'s opinion of this game did an about-face once it finally came out and people finally played it
>>337800051
Why do sonnigers like to spout their sales numbers so much?
Yeah, Skyrim also sold a lot, but that doesn't mean it's a good game
>>337800051
In UK, not worldwide
Kudos to them. I'm liking the game a lot more than I thought I would.
>>337801072
I still prefer 2, its hard to top it honestly
>>337801251
Except Uncharted 4 is a good game you butthurt manchild
>>337801246
for me it was the other way around.
i liked uncharted 2 and 3, but was dissappointed with U4. too much traversing, too little combat, more serious tone but not quite serious enough, also real lack of setpieces, and the best part of the game they spoiled in the first gameplay trailer.
The thing about this game is we thought the pre-release screenshots were bullshots, only to find out the game actually looking better or if not just as which is mind blowing.
It's such an awesome game
>>337801454
Yes, and?
>>337800051
Let's see
>PS4 sells like hotcakes
>PS4 has now had like 4 decent exclusive titles and those launched with the system and Bloodborne is pretty niche to dudebros
>PS4 FINALLY has another exclusive title that's known to most people after a huge drought
>sells really well when nothing else is coming out even third-party wise
Gee, I'm very perplexed as to this turn of events.
>>337801185
This. I've got a high end PC but in all honesty not many PC games even utilize that power outside of high res textures and frame rate. Designing games is an art and naughty dog has mastered that art.
Daily reminder that you can have the best art equipment money can buy, but a better artist will always outclass you on shitty notebook paper with a number two pencil.
>naughty dog PC studio when?
>>337800051
>UK
Just like for ratchet and clank, it's only about the UK market, that was dominated by Xbox last gen.
>>337800051
Now they're going to make a sequel expecting the same sales when in fact Uncharted 4 only sold as much because people are starved for games.
>>337801459
>sunken city was spoiled in the first trailer
Yeah OK.

>>337801841
You neglect to realize this will continue to be a reality in terms of exclusives on the PS4.
They'll dole them out slow and steady.
It's why I'm not even going to consider a PS4 until the revision down the line and a bundle of some sort which is ways off.
>>337801848
hmm i was talking about the madagascar chase.
that part was perfect, it was all gameplay featuring the new rope and the car driving mechanics.
fucking loved it,nothing before or after came close to it
PS4 is the best selling console this generation but doesn't have too many exclusive games at the moment.
So, when something that other systems can't offer, people are really eager to buy it.
The less games there are for the system, larger the attachment rate will be. This is just normal.
Testing

>not running from the truck within new Devon
Come on son. That shit was a clear and fantastic throwback to the boulder chase in crash bandicoot. Half expected him to reference the game when it finishes.

Now for Horizon Zero Dawn with the same level of fidelity and fluidity and will 100% share tools and tech with U4 for full penetration.
Sony will steamroll with this ip, just watch.

maybe it's because they've done it before, or maybe because it was 3 am after binging through the game.
somehow i wasn't that impressed by it.

Uncharted: farewell tour, is what happened.
Loved this game, fantastic, okay guys, now lets rendezvous back at home.
>>337800051
Two things:
One, it should sell more, it's better.
Two, there aren't exactly that many games on ps4, poor ps4 owners will snap up any halfway decent game they can. I suppose the new ratchet and clank sold really well too, despite being mediocre by all accounts?
>>337802401
>Killzone devs
its gonna be shit
PS4 literally has no games so obviously everyone who got tricked into buying the expensive netflix box got confused and uncharted 4 appeared to be a movie so they thought why not
>>337802401
I buy games with empowered womyn in them just out of principle.
>>337800051
Well deserved.
A good game getting good sales isn't really news though, especially considering it's Sony and Sony has a habit of winning. It's sort of in their DNA..
>>337801841
Except they won't because this was the finale. Expect the next game to be some kind of cart racer. I'm fake expecting ND to show off uc4 running at 60fps on the neo abs a teaser for their next game which will probably be crash or something entirely new along side it.
I'll wait for the NEO version

>>337801359
Good taste
Honestly I find the game pretty average only chapter 13 and the whole game is the been there done that feel to it. Also yet again Naughty Dog can't design combat encounters properly.
You know what I fucking love about this game?
I mean-I'll be accused of shilling, but whatever.
It's the balance of gameplay and set-piece scripted stuff.
In a lot of games it's a straight up QTE, or else it's a cutscene.
In U4, I feel like I am still playing during this crazy shit.
One segment of the game has some of the craziest shit I've seen but is one of the most fun parts I've played in any game for a while.
>Climb up a TALL building
>Shit goes wrong at the top
>It's crumbling down
>You still control Nate as he jumps and climbs and scrambles his way onto sturdy ground only for it to be slammed by debris starting the whole thing again
>Finally make it to the bottom
>A few minutes later there's a sweet car chase through the streets which feels freeform, fast and fucking chaotically fun
>You hang from the back of a truck, off the side of a highway bridge, by a fucking rope
>You swing around shit and over boats and shit
>You get dragged along the ground shooting guys on bikes alongside you
>You climb up the rope when it's clear and get on top of the truck where you continue to shoot bikeniggers
>Truck gets shot to shit
>You jump onto any of the nearby cars triggering a highjack fight, which you play, before taking over the car and continueing the chase
It's fucking SICK.
Not sure of replayability, though. But first time through, it's a blast. And I think playable action sequences are a key part.
>sold more than halo
Bullshit
>>337803448
That's the UK.
They obsess over FIFA instead of CoD/Halo.
why do we always need to get UK sales as representative of a game sale?
>>337803365
Honestly that stuff is a chore to play those parts and sometimes the combat is lump-sited during those moments.
>>337802858
they arent going to make a new crash game
they are going to continue using their Uncharted/TLOU engine and make more games with humans. It'd be foolish to give up all the resources and animations they have accumulated for that engine to make a keyframe-animation based toon game
>>337803608
This lmao, its always UK
>>337800051
>What went so right?
They successfully marketed the game to normies.
How is that an indicator of how good a game is? By that logic CoD 45 Black Warfare 9 were good games.
>>337803608
because they are the most idiot among european
>>337803654
But it would actually be a fun game to play though.
>>337800051
so the marketing worked
they tricked the millions of morons that got a ps4
this is super easy math
>>337803654
ND will make another game using the engine but they will also make crash or a new IP, the reason they are even as big as they are now is because they didnt get comfortable like insomniac did and actually branched out and explored new grounds

>>337803365

Nah, man. Enjoy it the first time through, then do multiplayer if that's your thing. The game is fun, but a second run will make it stale.

>>337801459
yeah for me it´s kinda the same.
I love the combat in the game but there is too little of it.
I also preferred the puzzles form 3 way more.
those once where actually clever.
4 takes a big step back on that front.
the whole pirate island thing also seems like a step back compared to the environments of 2 and 3
plus like you said the story just doesn´t work for me. the villians are lame, dialogue just isn´t as fun and the whole setup doesn´t fit to an uncharted game in my opinion
at least he climbing is the best so far and the second jeep part is actually fun

>>337804349
Games the same bland shit as the last 3. Anybody with enough money can market shit to the masses.
>>337801159
This. PS4 being the most popular console combined with it still not having that many worthwhile games yet means a lot of people buy this game.
>>337803608
Because they are the biggest and most relevant Euro market
>>337800051
Marketing budgets
I've been in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Manchester in the past 6 months and anywhere they could put some fucking Uncharted 4 billboard they could.
Every single fucking bus in edinburgh had Nathan Drake's gormless fucking expression on it for the past few months as well.
Goddamn nigga shills PISS OFF me country m8 or ill shank yer nan.
>>337800524
the salt
I didn't pay attention to MP in the other games but will they add game modes to it? Or is that it?
The maps also kind of suck. They're all just small circles with a different center.
River is pretty fun, though.
>>337800051
You kinda gotta hand it to Naughty Dog here.
When Uncharted 1 came out it was so utterly dwarfed by Halo and Gears on the 360. Nobody cared for it, everyone thought it was sorta lame. Then they did Uncharted 2 and blew everyone away, but it still wasn't on the level of Halo in terms of sales. I personally wasn't a fan of U3 though.
Now however Halo and Gears are both dead franchises that nobody gives a fuck about and Uncharted grew into a fucking monster. It's kind of impressive. The Naughty Dog A-Team basically got better with each and every release (Uncharted --> Uncharted 2 --> The Last of Us --> Uncharted 4).
Can't wait for TLOU2.
>>337804382
/v/ thinks games aren't games unless they're exclusive despite a majority of the 40 million + users being the kind of people that don't give a shit about PC. Ignore it. This coming from somebody that's going to get a gtx 1080 next month.
>>337804495
you dont understand because you havent played it
I have a PS4 and a PC with a GTX 970 (plus huge steam library) and this is the best game I have ever played. I like action games though
>>337804675
I honestly wish for a new title, not TLOU2. Same goes for Uncharted, too many already. Should have ended with 2.

>>337804984
What's the point in this? Games for all platforms have been downgraded
>>337804776
so why is it okay for Uncharted 1 to have a sequel but not TLOU?
They can make a new IPs but I prefer to see them refine the gameplay elements of their previous games at least one time. They do it so well that if there's any consistency in it then TLOU 2 will be twice the game TLOU is. Besides, TLOU already is a pretty new IP
>>337800051
here is your (press x to rope)
>>337805067
Maybe you didn't read all the shit they were talking. "Sure it will be 60 fps, in fact all our PS4 games are gonna be, maybe even better!" and then a downgrade.
At least other companies are quiet about it until they hit it with the ugly stick.
>>337805009
>huge performance leap for a relatively small price increase
It's well worth it.
970 is the mid-range card, 980ti is the high end. 980 makes no sense, its price/performance is way off
Next gen will be the same
>>337805084
Uncharted is a series with endless possibilities, what is tlou2 going to be about? You can't make new enemies because how do you explain their absence in the previous games?
>>337805205
Set the game in Africa.
It worked out for Resident Evil 5.
>>337804382
There are 40 million retards against 20 million xbox fanbois, of course it sold more you retard. The fact tahat it only beat Halo by 20% and Doom by 20% means Xbox users are more efficient with 20 million less niggas using it meaning ps4 users play Netflix, Youtube, and Anime games
>>337804785
I'll wait until they can confirm a full 8gb bit that'll take a few hours before everyone benchmarks the actual card and confirms if it's good or not. Not pre-ordering but I've got the cash to upgrade once I'm sure. Ti sound nice but I'm running a 750 right now so any upgrade will be plenty.

Because Uncharted 1 was a meh game, it made sense for them to try to improve, 2 was a good retake on it. 3 was pointless and 4 is just "hey it's a new system now!" but at least it's better than 3.
The Last of Us was already a good game and doesn't need a sequel. I can only imagine it would be more of the same instead of anything new.

U4 has everything U2 had combat-wise, and then improves on it so much. There are just less set-pieces like the train or convoy chase in Uncharted 2. But most people were complaining about there being too many set pieces in Uncharted anyway
>>337805768
you're right the PSX demo does have worse lighting and textures
>posting sales numbers
Its like sonyfags are actually posting on /v/. You know why you need sales numbers, its because you're insecure. You can't like a game if not everyone else likes it.
>>337805724
The final game has full global illumination, it's just not real time.
The advertisement budget was also raised by 66%. Sony really went all out (understandably) on this one.

>>337805771
Not even remotely to UC2's
Guns feel a billion times better in U4 than U2. dunno how anybody can say U2 had better combat
>>337805428
Yeah 60FPS Multiplayer.
The Story in order to show off most graphics needed 30 FPS. And it makes sense. Your facing AI enemies and doing puzzles, and traversing land. It doesnt need to feel buttery smooth.
Multiplayer though 60FPS option doesnt make sense not too.
>>337805724
Uncharted 4's precalculated global illumination system is the main reason why it looks so good.
https://youtu.be/ts2am8WRBXQ?t=8m35s
it would take way better hardware to get the same effect with real time
>>337806025
In most cases baked looks much better than realtime, mirrors edge still looks great primarily because it relied heavily on baked lighting.
When you pre-render the lighting it can be more accurate and be higher detail, you just can't start moving the sun and stuff around in game (hint: moving the sun is not a required feature in uncharted)
>>337806025
this looks better than any pre-release demo
>>337806334
>>337806351
Prebaked is for weak hardware. Real time is for strong hardware.
Why doesn't Uncharted 4 have real time lighting? Keep in mind, the game was downgraded to 30FPS
>>337800051
>What went so right?
it being the second decent game for ps4
>>337804984
That scene of you used of him at the beach was from PSX and is not the E3 scene all those articles were written about.
>>337806485
>Why doesn't Uncharted 4 have real time lighting?
because baked lighting looks better
If they wanted to go full real-time with the lighting system then it would look far worse
why are you finding this hard to understand?
>>337803847
Sales matter when its your favourite company you slave twat.
>>337806025
>muh physics simulation
Again. A good artist will always outclass some faggot with high end rendering tools. Given fixed light sources there's literally no reason for real time lighting.

I actually loved the stealth in U2 and always have
U4 is the same thing but much improved
>>337806719
baked lighting looks both more realistic and requires less hardware power to render. Real time is only necessary when there is a moving sun or something

Sales matter.

The Last of Us blew up Naughty Dog even more than they already were
>>337806719
>I'm a retard and have no idea how games work
full real time lighting is only a requirement if you have many moving lightsources.
Otherwise a baked solution is better, it will look better, you can make it higher quality and it gives you more horsepower to spend on other things.
The only drawback is the inconvenience for the developer of having to render all the lighting
>>337806907
>The PS4 is too weak for real time lighting which is why U4 was downgraded

>>337807116
there are maybe 10 set piece moments
none of them last longer than 2 minutes.
The game took me 13 hours to beat on moderate with very little exploring for treasures and collectibles.

Why are people calling out advertising as if it's a bad thing? How do you get people interested in your product? Do you think everyone game can sell a million copies through word of mouth like The Wonderful 101?
>>337807186
There's still too much climbing, the first few hours especially. There's also a lot of other things to do that the other games didn't have though.
the game is pretty
>>337807342
Why would they make me mad? I am 100% aware that Uncharted is dogshit game and series and people only pretend to like it ironically or because it's an exclusive.
Again, there's a reason you spend hundreds of hours posting about it, but only a few hours actually playing it. Gotta self-justify that $90 purchase.
>>337807116
>>10 hours of mostly-QTE gameplay at best.
This is how we know you didn't play it. There is very little QTE in U4. The stuff that is there is fairly minor and are just button prompts like mash X to bypass a barrier at the end of an area or something.

>>337807414
the climbing feels great in U4 though. You can actually guide your hands into gripping places without having to press x, just stretch your hand over to it with the stick. With all the sliding and swinging it's really not that obvious where you're supposed to go a lot of the time; figuring it out is like a puzzle (that is much more fun than solving a real puzzle)

Alright, I'm out. This shitposting has hit absolute critical levels. I can no longer handle just how inbred Uncharted fans are.
You guys win, you have gone full-retard.
>>337807748
Is English not your first language? Here let me try to explain it again in simpler terms:
There are about 10 set pieces, each is about 2 minutes long. That makes 20 minutes of set pieces total in a 13 hour game. The rest of the time you have full control and there are no QTEs.
Good luck improving your reading comprehension.
>>337807592
He's right though.
>mash triangle to open doors
>y is your counter in a grab but you've got to hit it a few times to fill a gauge
And then they show a few to teach you how to avoid the mummy things. But really there aren't many. If you watch gameplay videos which I'm sure you did, parts that look like cutscenes are actually gameplay. You've been tricked.
>>337808042
he's right though
the platforming is great in this one. Have you actually played it?
>>337808148
>The rest of the time you have full control and there are no QTEs.

>>337808250
it's okay anon, you can stop posting now.
I fear you may have an aneurysm if you get any more buttflustered
What went right?
Nothing really, its the same game as Uncharted 3. The reason its selling better than U3 is because Playstation is no longer the uncool console. What I mean by this is that last gen the 360 is the one everyone bought to be with their friends etc. They would go ahead and diss the PS3 etc. Now the roles have reversed and everyone is giving U4 a chance.
Its a shit game.
>>337808348
Only one of us here is on /v/ rationalizing our purchase to other people, and it ain't me.

I don't need to rationalise my purchase, it's a great game and a lot of fun.
You're the one here desperately trying to convince people the fun they are having with the game is not real

It's a great game that was marketed fairly heavily. Word of mouth certainly helped out. It's an exclusive title that many people bought their PS4 to play. It is a stellar game from a company that gives a shit about what they make. A wonderful send off. Much better than Uncharted 3 in every single aspect.At this moment, I think that it is better than Uncharted 2.
What's not to like?
>>337808621
Kill yourself faggot
>>337808497
that seems pretty cool, not the biggest fan of the daily/random loot box system though, feels like it's not worth playing when you don't have dailies, but then again they make you come back to the game every 1-3 days.
>>337808621
I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything, just helpfully correcting spergs that peddle complete twaddle. Do you have any actual real criticisms of the game or is literally everything you know about it complete lies?
>>337802645
To be fair Killzone 2 was pretty good

There's that sharp wit, again. Man, you're clever.
>>337808415
>unanimously praised by critics and players alike
>y-you dummies are just trying to reationalize your shitty purchase!
It's a great game with a great MP and SP. If you want to miss out on that and shitpost on /v/ instead then go right ahead.
>>337801072
Yeah it def up there with 2
>>337808621
/v/ needs a good "I told you so" from Uncharted fans
it sucked trying to discuss this game here before release because 99% of the posts about it were about how it was guaranteed to be shit
>>337800051
Dont get the surprise. Uncharted 4 is better than Uncharted 3 and the other ones.
>>337800051
because more retards bought it that had probably never played any of the previous games
Beats me OP, I've played the first 3 and a little bit of 4 and from what I could tell it was just more of the same. Only thing I can think of is heavy marketing.
>>337801923
Truth I finished single player yesterday and I looked at every noticeable detail they out my first playthriugh

All the Killzone Games were pretty Good i played 2, 3, Shadowfall and Merc.
I didnt play the online of ShadowFall much i didnt like it.

I've tried to get a friend of mine to play the series for years and he just never really got into it. I bought a copy of the game early and after finishing the single player myself I brought it over to him, and made him play it. He didn't want to put it down. A couple hours went by and he said "hey man don't forget your game". I just said "That isn't mine. It's yours". Now I hear he's playing it with his kids and wife. And now I have a third running mate for my online team. I couldn't be happier. Really looking forward to the Co-op.
>>337803841
This if they were the type to keep milking something they would not have stopped making crash bandicoot games and only fan outcry is the reason they'd make another crash game
>>337808809
The Last Uncharted Game to be launched was 2011. Uncharted 2 2009, uncharted 1 2007.
Of course most people buying the ps4 didnt play them. The last game was fuckimg 5 years ago and the first one was close to a deacade old.

Hey kojima
I feel like people's overrating of TLoU actually hurts Uncharted 4 a little. People now want gritty survival and realism where prior to that they were awed by Uncharted.
That's not to say 4 doesn't have flaws, downtime to explore and marvel at the landscape is appreciated, but 4 has at least two levels that aren't flashbacks dedicated to that. Nadine is also just one big mary sue who gets off scot free, I wanted to like her, her introduction with sully is great, just the rest of the game I was wishing she was more grounded and susceptible to consequences like every other character.
>Uncharted 4 is better than any PC exclusive released within the last 5 years
What went wrong?
>>337809146
>if they were the type to keep milking something they would not have stopped making crash bandicoot games
Except they never owned the rights to the crash games and were only signed on by Universal to make as many of them as they made. If they could they probably would have.
>>337809007
the U-boat base from uncharted 3 was goat
>>337804661
Yeah I agree that the maps don't feel as good as uncharted 2.
In 2 you had choke points with heavy weapons so you could always know where and who to watch out for,but now everyone just spawns with whatever they want so it can make games a bit one sided sometimes.
Spawning with heavy weapons was a mistake cause now you have to watch out for everyone instead of the guy who managed to snatch it from the middle of the map.
U2 was more balanced but 4 is fun
>>337801520
This holy shit, I was impressed.
I called bullshit like everyone else at the E3 teaser back in 2014, but looking at it again, I honestly can't see a difference from the cutscenes in-game and it, besides the 60fps it once had, and may still have if ND updates it for the Neo
>>337800051
I feel like buying games has become more of a bandwagon thing than people being actual fans. People go by what they see get upvoted by le nerdy reddit users :^) and want to fit in. I bet 80% of that 66% haven't played any of the first 3 games. They only got it because they saw all of the upvoted posts on social media sites and thought well I want to be part of this wonderful nerd culture because I'm so hip and quirky. Another recent game release that seemed to be hip to want to play was the Division. I could tell the multiplayer was going to be shit after the beta and said so, but no one ever agreed with me. Then the game comes out and Division posts turn from positive to negative then quickly became irrelevant. Game companies love it because its more customers but the consumers half the time end up with a shitty product because they are idiots who can't think for themselves. U4 might be good but I haven't played it because I think 3 ruined by interest in the series.
U4 > U2 > U3 >>> U1

Did you have a brainfart and totally forget about the Uncharted remastered collection for PS4?
>>337809521
I hope they bring back 'classic mode' where you spawn with an AK-47 and all weapons are pickups.
They should rotate which game mode is ranked as well to make sure each mode gets populated
>>337809224
this: >>337809619
I mean it only came bundled with most people's PS4's and all
Half the reason people shit on Uncharted is because they only play halfway through U1 on the collection and assume that the entire rest of the series is going to be like that. U2 is twice the game U1 is

Everybody else remasters their games
hell, nintendo has remastered Super Mario Bros. about 20 times
why is it so bad when sony does it?
>>337803813
>People were tricked into buying this GAME by wizard marketing!
I only saw a couple TV ads, but I rarely watch television. I really like the Uncharted series and had to do a media black out a couple weeks before the game came out. So I don't really know it it had a full blown every commercial break every channel ad. I really like this game. I won't need anything else to play for quite some time.
>>337809841
Why would anyone buy three games and not play all three thats just retarded on the buyers part.
And the Uncharted Games arent even sequels you can play them indviually as their own games and a few references to ither ganes are made thats about it.
Im shocked it sold more than halo especially after so much emphasis was placed on the fall season being essential to sales.
Microsoft even blew all that money on tomb raider just to delay uncharteds release to avoid that supposed prime season.
>>337809904
>I forgot that was a thing Sony Could do and get away with.
Literally everyone remasters or re-releases their shit.
Capcom, Square Enix, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc.
With the Uncharted games however they at least properly remastered them and improved the graphics which is way more than what most companies do.
>>337803927
>Increased market budget
Are you forgetting the "Taste for Adventure" Subway campaign. Those ads ran non stop.
>>337810128
>And the Uncharted Games arent even sequels
They are sequels. They're mostly self-contained however.
>>337810129
>Im shocked it sold more than halo especially after so much emphasis was placed on the fall season being essential to sales.
343 blew it with Halo, no surprise there.
>>337810053
Eh because maybe the remasters didnt include the very good online that U3 had? While TLOU did and was pretty good.
Missing features man. And also Uncharted has aged not so good. Look at a viedo of U3 Opening and its like
Why would Sony sell an aged game at new price with missing content.
I dont blame them for doing it. Im just disapointed.
Jesus the Sony shilling force is off the charts in this thread.
>>337803927
>>No fucking exclusives on Ps4 at fucking all
Apart from Ratchet that came out the month before and broken records.
Before that you got MLB The Show 16
Too bad the game sucks.
There's so much walking around these empty open areas with nothing to find except for some pointless collectible. The pacing during first few chapters is horrible, especially the Scotland section. It's just an endless series of traversal and puzzle sections that take zero thought or skill to complete.
There's not enough combat in the game to keep things interesting, Uncharted 2 had the perfect mix.
>>337810393
I was disappointed the online wasn't included too, but it is still 3 full games with improved graphics for $40
To be honest I think Uncharted 4's mp is better than 2 or 3's, I just hope the co-op lives up to the standard too.
>>337808621
I didn't even get 4 yet (I'm waiting for it to get cheap first), but 1-3 and Golden Abyss are fucking great games. I also recently played through Nathan Drake Collection and these games still hold up. Maybe, just maybe these are just fans making it known how much they liked the newest game.
I'm playing on crushing and it feels so fucking good to beat a camp of enemies without ever resorting to turtling behind cover. It was frustrating at first but now I've gotten really good at it. Playing with the HUD off feels great too
running away, flanking and regaining stealth feels so good in this game
>>337810441
>Jesus the Sony shilling force is off the charts in this thread.
How is it shilling?
Is Uncharted 4 a good game? Yes it is. It's unanimously praised by critics and the players.
Yet because you who haven't played the game and is upset by all the praise and populaity this Sony PS4 exclusive is getting think it's a shit game undeserving of all the praise (despite not having played it) that means that everyone that disagrees with you is a shill?
>>337810231
Missing the Online my main gripe. And it was really good in U3
Whats impressive is that they could do that. Uncharted series relied a lot on the "power of the cell" so they were able to recode the game to work on x86 and upgrade it impressive programing work.
Same thing from the Jak and Daxter series and then taking a foriegn language the PS2 used and then transering it the PS3 Cell was even more impressive.
>>337810792
But U4 is worse than U3 in every way except graphics and animations
>>337805361
I you can only afford one? Uncharted 4. Easy choice.
