Forums - Sony Discussion - How Uncharted 4 is taking game technology to the next level (GameInformer)

I'm not a fan of the Uncharted games so I'm not overly excited for this game, but I have to say that I'm impressed by it's graphics. It'll be a fantastic looking game.

yuck

Not really abnormal to the Uncharted games.  Had plenty of that in 1-3.

Yup, and beyond that, after what they accomplished with Ellie, I doubt we'll have to take much care of them!

its not really abnormal after DF yes, before ND sold out if you look at the reveal for UNC4 all of it is with no AI it looks fun, it puts the player in control of the entire situation, gives you entire freedom and keeps it tense and challenging.   why dont they show gameplay parts with the AI?  yeah it reveals spoilers but we already now drakes brother is in it so you can show him now.  even the UC2 and 3 reveals and gameplays were all solo

for me the more  the campaign is w/o AI the better my most memorable campaigns in this genre are RE4, MGS and MGS3 as well as DF, TLOU gets an exeption b/c the purpose of the campaign is for you to escort ellie and that she is underpowered and vulnerable these games made me feel like i went on a journey.  i feel that UC DF had the perfect balance of AI presence  out of the uncharted games i dont mind there being an  AI partner in a SP campaigns, but when lose freedom and the challenge of taking out the enemies the campaign becomes less memorable.  no amount of cut scenes and flash can save that and that has happened to me with both unc 2 and 3 these are video games to me and they should be about gameplay

Cutscenes always looked better than gameplay because developers can allocate the unused recources. Not sure why Uncharted is taking the piss for it.


I'd say the same reasons why The Order is taking the piss for not being a gameplay revolution. No good reason.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

bolded: Are you seriously asking that question?

The graphics are severely downgraded from that bullshit "in game" (read: CGI) teaser trailer that ran at 60 frames per second.

Don't have a lot of hope for this game after a lot of the team has left.

Uncharted 2 will always be the best Uncharted.

Man, so much work needed here:

1. The initial trailer was never called in game. It was running on a PlayStation 4 (true), on their engine (also true). It isn't pre-rendered elsewhere.

2. The people most responsible for Uncharted 2's success are working on Uncharted 4 (the same people who lead the most awarded game in history).

3. Uncharted 4 isn't even out. Saying Uncharted 2 will always be the best, without playing anything since Uncharted 3 makes no sense.

I'm with you apart from the the 1st point. They knew very well what they were doing, call it a tech-demo if its a target render.

Naughty Dog brilliant as usual.
OT:Who do you think will have the better graphics,UC4,BloodBorne or The Order.Right now TH1886 looks unreal.

Interesting question. It's looking like Killzone 2 vs Uncharted 2 all over again, for me. While I, personally, expect The Order's visuals to be what I prefer, Uncharted 4 will take it regarding technology, alone. 


Yes I agree with you on that.It reminds me of GOW3 vs The last of Us.GOW3 technically (IMO) was second to none but you can't deny how good The last of Us looked.



I'm probably one of the few people who think Uncharted 4 is coming in Q3



Don't copy random editorials.

If you watch the youtube video I posted, they explain why cutscenes look better. It's because they can set the camera and lighting up for the best results were as in game there are too many random elements to always look the best. We see this in action regularly with Driveclub. Because it emulates real time lighting, sometimes the pics aren't that impressive, just like in real life when a photographer takes a photo at the wrong time of day or from the wrong angle. The cutscene we saw used nothing more than the game uses.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Playstation games not doing anything but improving grafix = haters be like wtf is this tired shit.
Playstation games innovate with unheard of dynamic animations and AI = haters be like wtf up with these downgraded gfx.

Smh
