CVG is pleasantly surprised by these new screens of Naughty Dog's latest work - Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is looking very good indeed.
Previously known simply as Big, it follows the lead character, Ethan Drake, on a mission to prove he's a descendant of Sir Francis Drake (eh?) and find his treasure.
Naughty Dog is keeping quiet on the bigger picture but has revealed that Ethan's exploits will take him through an Amazonian jungle, ancient temples, and even out at sea on a derelict warship.
You can see, just by looking at these screens, that Naughty Dog is aiming to make Drake's Fortune somewhat a technical masterpiece. Drake himself will apparently be put into motion with over 3000 animations. The game will also feature absolutely no loading times past the initial boot-up, streaming all those hi-res textures and detailed environments right off the Blu-Ray disc.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is due for release in November.
November 19 marks 15 years since the release of the Uncharted game that started it all.
I hope they don’t make another until the end of the ps5 lifecycle…. Show us a better jungle
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."
KeenGamer: "Which Uncharted game is the best? Uncharted is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking and consistently great franchises in gaming. For both long-time fans and newcomers to this action-adventure classic, here’s a ranking of the franchise’s four main games."
No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.
UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita
Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.
U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.
I'd rate it as the following.
1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)
2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)
3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)
4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)
I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.
uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.
I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.
I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.
Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.
is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?
In the last 24 hours, it has quickly risen to be as anticiapated as Heavenly Sword for me. I simply cannot wait for these games to come.
CVG are so lame. They didn't get invited to Gamer's Day so they are talking about screens. Funny sh*t
lair will kick ass imo, but drake is going to be awesome......
I bet the game play will be nice in Uncharted, but I thought this so called AAA title would look a LOT better based on the PS3 fan comments of how much better the PS3 games will look because of its power. I guess I still have to wait.
Wurwag?
Look a lot better? This game looks better than anything you've seen. SO I have no idea what you're talking about. Best animation in a game, best textures. Yes it has a few bugs. But still best animation, best facial, some of the best lighting. This game beats almost everything in every area before it.
