The graphics are technically great compared to many other ps4 games out there, and style wise it's very good for the type of game, but the better graphics get the more it shows up the current failing computer games have in terms of animation.

Character movement and facial movements look terrible and hold it back. Graphic are at a point where games animation should be a big focus, at least semi realistic games. I think people overlook how bad animation is these days because bad animation is normalised in games. Or maybe because progress in that area is so slow people have just given up hope.

Doom 4's animation was better than most and graphically it might be the best overall. But it's visually to different to definitively compare.

Sometimes someone posts something and I'm lost for words ...

In his defense, there were times when I panned the camera around just to see what faces were doing when they were talking.  Sometimes, I was blown away like the time Nate was eating an apple.  Other times, the faces were barely emoting.  Then again, most games would have the character talking and their lips wouldn't even be moving so it's unrealistic to expect Uncharted 4 to have perfect facial expressions at a time when I was supposed to be looking at the back of Nate's head while he was climbing or something.  Even if it isn't perfect, it's still waaaaaay better than anything anybody else is doing save for one or two games I've seen.

As for character movement, I don't think it could be any better.  Too many nice touches that make me almost forget that this is a video game character.



Around the Network

I'm taking it a bit too slow, been on chapter 10 for 3 days now, messing around.
Perhaps I should be doing less of this


And this


and general sightseeing

Seems I'm at the next part now, or close anyway.

I actually started chapter 10 over. It's a bit annoying you can't go back. I was mapping out this large area, skipped a guarded site to check out the boundaries and fell off one of those little ledges into the next area. You can't climb back out, the checkpoint is immediately updated, and the only option is to restart from the beginning of the chapter if you don't keep manual saves. You can start at encounters too inside chapers, yet I wasn't sure if that lets you keep playing after or if it still counts for completion as it let me start an encounter I had not gotten to yet as well... Maye a glitch.

The character movement is very good in U4, however not perfect. There is still the ocasional mime action, jumping up against walls that aren't there and characters sometimes just stare ahead. The stoic or idle stances stand out more simply because they often do react to what you're doing, supply banter or look around on their own.

I'm not sure how I have to, literally, decipher his comment.

It seems to say that Uncharted 4's animation put computer games to shame...

Or that all games still have bad animations, including Uncharted.


Indeed, I mean alll games including uncharted. I think it's clearly writen.

Thanks for clearing that out. Now I know I'll never discuss anything with you on VGC.

Ooh! I think I just got my prettiest screenshot yet! It was unexpected as I didn't know Elena would react the way she did. Although I think I'm going to get a closer version.



Beautiful shot ;)

That smile. Brilliant.

It was perfect. Now if only she can emote the same way during your usual traversing around. lol
