I don't have the game myself but these are some impressions from someone who's beaten it.

Spoiler-free impressions:
- Gameplay is fantastic. Shooting now has a weight to it and the freedom of how you tackle encounters feels great.
- Set pieces are less bombastic, but no less memorable or exciting.
- Chapters are more meaningful and each one feels very distinct. They're much longer than in previous games too.
- Speaking of which, my end clock was 14 hours. I reckon most playthoughs will be between 12-16 hours. It's pretty meaty!
- Music has less memorable themes, but it's the best implementation of music in the series. Firefight music in particular is great (very pirate like)
- It's the best looking game on the system bar none...you already knew that.
- But what shines is the art direction, it's so beautiful! Colors are vibrant and each environment is so wonderfully well crafted, it feels so organic.
- Smoothest 30fps game I've ever played, no hyperbole. Their masterful implementation of motion blur is like nothing I've ever seen.
- Incredibly clean image, everything is so sharp and the AA solution removes any noticeable jaggies.
- Details, details, details. People say you don't notice the little things, you do. In many ways it's the 'biggest' Uncharted, but it's also the most down to earth, so all the little things stand out so much more.
- The ending is perfect. PERFECT!

Unfortunately they're JPEGs but still look great.

Wow, the cel-shaded filter looks stunning (+ I do love me some cel-shading). I could seriously see myself playing through the game with that filter activated :-O

Really digging Elena's model in this. They made her look more like her actress.

I think they tried to do this with the later games as well but she came off looking a bit weird. Her model in UC3 was horrible, they gave her a tiny bat face / mouth.

Well.... given your avatar....

Seems a bit excessive, don't you think?

I mean, "Are future enemies" implies that at some point or another, they will guaranteed end up as enemies. Wouldn't it be more sensible to say "potential future enemies"

Or am I overanalyzing it?
