Well that explains it. I wish people would just call them Uncharted 1,2,3. At least Among Thieves is easy to remember because it's clearly a reference to the phrase "no honor among thieves."
It looks so, so much better than the tech demo. It's pretty difficult to directly compare the recent Game Awards footage to that old demo though. What would you compare? The E3 demo focused heavily on Link's character model and a boss enemy in a dungeon-like environment. The Game Awards footage doesn't give us a close-up look at Link or any enemies at all, and it's set in a very grassy overworld. There's no grass, trees, or horse in the 2011 demo to compare to the recent footage. No common elements at all. To boot, the 2011 demo was actually (in part) shown through direct feed as part of the general Wii U trailer, whereas our 2014 footage was shown off-screen from several feet away. If you compare Link's model in the 2011 demo direct-feed to the that in the 2014 E3 trailer, it's no contest. 2014 easily blows the old one away. Especially looking at his hair. |
The overall look of the game. the 2012 tech demo looks miles better than the footage we saw at the game awards. Sure it was off screen footage, but it looked incredibly rough. Not saying the final game won't look better, but for me personally the tech demo looked better than the recent footage.
