We can also add the likes of Sunset Overdrive, Cuphead, and Ori. 

I'm not sure I understand.  Those count but not Alienation?  Bloodborne?  Bound, Driveclub, Fat Princess?  Gran Turismo?  Gravity Rush?  HotShots Golf?  MLB: The Show?  Nioh?  Dead Nation?  LBP, Resogun, Super Stardust?  Helldivers?

Yeah, it's a misleading argument that only works if you close one eye and pretend.

Aww man i can't believe i forgot to add Gravity Rush and the upcoming Nioh :O

Uncharted 2 had a lot of gameplay, but Uncharted 4 not too imo. A lot of scripted events and not a whole lot of shooting sections. 

You know whats funny? Uncharted 4 actually has fewer gunfights than uncharted 2...... strange innit?

Guerrilla Cambridge is making it... oh wait. 

Kinda silly using that as a comeback... at least guerilla cambridge FINISHED and released their game.  When is scalebound releasing again?

Was more along a retailiation to his obvious bait comment, but whatever; harp on semantics.

You're all forgetting Ryse!

Uncharted stands out in the way it incorporates cinematic elements in its gameplay sections. Most other games resort to cutscenes whereas in Uncharted you're playing as the boat is sinking and filling up with water or when you're propelled out of a plane or when you're fighting enemies in a collapsing building or when you're being dragged in the mud by a speeding truck. Calling Uncharted cinematic and shoving off its gameplay is simply ignorant. There's nothing fantastic about the climbing though expect the addition of the grappling hook in Uncharted 4.

i think most of the people that do that never actually played it... so when watching it on youtube they can't really tell that what they are seeing and typically would have called a cinematic is actually gameplay.

That was me being charitable.

Yeah I know what you were trying to do..... just pointing out that it makes litle sense doing it using a studio that actually released their game before they got shut down as an example.



Dunno, there's too few games coming from MS 1st party to judge them. I think there's only like 3 franchises they do anymore, 1 is a car game, the other 2 don't seem less cinematic than Uncharted or Killzone.

I think the library of Sony is so big you can make a claim that they do gameplay, cinematic and artsy titles all at once. They just have so many games. It's unfair to compare them.

I wouldn't really phrase it like that, but we've long since reached a point where, when I see a lot of Sony's first party games revealed at E3 or somewhere, I feel like I've already seen it before. Uncharted looks like Last of Us looks Infamous looks like the new God of War in the long, drawn out, masturbatorily cinematic sections they tend to like to show at those things.

I'm not sure that would really hold up if you compared the entire first party line ups, but it's definitely something that occurred to me.

I think this is largely true across all platforms and all  AAA developers.  Games are *mostly* the same as the games that came before.  That's natural.  Huge money is spent making most big games.  Risks, such as trying unproven mechanics or genres, are very difficult to justify.  Many millions can be lost if things don't work out as hoped.



ps4 also has games like gravity rush, bloodborne, ratchet and clank, the last guardian etc.



It's already been but Sony first party games are about gameplay or gameplay + cinematic experience. MS and Nintendo create games that are very similar from generation to generation.
