CRank: 5Score: 64440

Ninja, i agree 100% with your astute comment about Last Of Us having too much of an influence on Uncharted 4, and i lay the blame for this squarely at Neil Druckmann possibly being given too much control over the project.

I can almost predict the direction that he will take with the upcoming dlc. Instead of giving the fans a final slice of Drake action and perhaps working in that set piece that had to be removed for technical reasons that Troy Baker raved about and adding a...

My guess is that Japanese gamers are waiting instead to purchase the slim, the Pro or the Final Fantasy Luna bundle.

Yeah i certainly agree Neonridr, these are among the lowest weekly figures i can ever recall seeing from the Japanese market.

I have a 4k tv setup LG UH8500V which is capable of displaying both HDR formats, HDR 10 and Dolby, i have already watched a couple of 4k videos on Youtube and Netflix and i can already see a significant difference with regards to the richness of the colour depth and contrast brightness.

The best way i can describe it is that everything looks like it has had a brand new shiny fresh coat of glossy paint. What was before slightly dull now zings with enhanced detail, and parts ...

Edmix, your absolutely spot on, trying to convey the benefits of 4k to potential cuctomers on a streaming video was, in my opinion a recipe for disaster and in my opinion Sony did a lacklustre job and did a very poor job showing off the potential of the PS4 Pro technology.

I am lucky enough to enjoy a 4k experience and i can tell you straight off the bat that a competent HDR (high dynamic range) television makes an incredible difference to the displayed images. The Horizon ...

Thank you Zahdab. It's called options. I have shelled out a small fortune on my 4k televisions and it would have been nice to have been able to have a dedicated 4k player incorporated into Ps4 Pro so that i could have taken advantage of as much 4k media content and not just Netfix, Amazon, YouTube, which my tvs aldready do anyway. I'm also slightly old school, in that i still prefer to have my content in uncompromised format on disc.

I already have a dedicated Samsu...

Sony's lacklustre conference managed to succeed in one area. It managed to attract me towards purchasing a Microsoft Slim S for it's Blu Ray UHD HDR 4k player.

I'm not even going to sugar coat this, but FU Sony for this major oversight. Presumably this inane decision was done to keep costs down and to promote prescription 4k services. I am exactly the target customer for your product as i have a 4k television and one of the main draws to upgrading for me, was buying 4k movie playback ability on disc, so much for a so called premium product. Well your underwhelming garbage show has just succeeded in turning a PS owner from way back in the 90'...

I was highly critical of Druckmann's views and inputs regarding gaming several weeks ago. I think success from The Last Of Us has gone to his head and he was handed far too much control over decisions pertaining Uncharted 4. For a triple A big budget PS4 blockbuster to still be hamstrung using the over familiar tropes of crate pushing and buddy lifts to attain higher areas shows a real lack of vision on his part as a co director. I can't stand this pansy pandering to political correct...

I happened upon this video and it's an extended version of the demo with some awesome new melee attacks.

Yes in some respects. If you read my post up above, that is what i am alluding to in my criticism of Neil Druckmann.

I really enjoyed The Last Of Us, but you nailed it for me when you say The Last Of Uncharted. I think Mr Druckmann is a stellar talent and he created a masterpiece with LOU along with the team at Naughty Dog, although i fully appreciate that it was not to your taste. However with this final instalment of the franchise in Drake's adventures i wanted a ball...

One of the things that game developers do that i utterly despise with a passion and Uncharted 4 is particularly guilty of is, draining the screen of light and colour and adding blood effects to the outer edges of the screen whenever your character takes a hit. I played the game on hard setting and the effect was so badly implemented that i couldn't see what the heck was happening onscreen for the most part and i played it on a large screen with 4k upscaling. It pissed me right off that t...

Bought 0rder 1886, thoroughly enjoyed it, despite it's numerous gameplay flaws.

I have absolutely no desire in any way whatsoever to spend a single penny piece on Ready at Dawn's new venture. I apologize in advance, but this new title does not interest me in the slightest.

Currently playing this, and i'm loving it so far. It's a real technical showpiece and a game to show off to your friends as they marvel at the sheer bewildering amount of whiz-bang action all on the screen at the same time. It's tremendous fun and is beautiful to look at.

For me, it's my favourite PS4 game to date, until a certain adventurer will no doubt steal that crown next week.

Bathyl, i have a 4k television Ulta HD set up and it also has inbuilt upscaling technology and the difference and sheer gulf in image quality and detail is staggering. It blows my 2013 1080p Panasonic to smithereens. As of right now as long as you have a reasonably good internet connection there is a plethora of 4k content already available, such as Youtube 4k, Netflix 4k, Amazon Prime 4k, Vudu amongst others and fast growing. Plus Sky Movies upscales to 4k on my television. My jaw still hits...

I remember seeing one of your comments yesterday that you wanted to see a video of some of the hand to hand combat.

These two videos show some of Drakes melee moves.

Yes i absolutely agree with your second last sentence, everything you said is indeed crap and should be ignored.

For those who may wish to see more on Uncharted 4. Greg Miller has just announced that Kinda Funny will post an Uncharted 4 let's play this Monday at 7am PT.

This was another superb developer insight video from the incredible team at Naughty Dog.

I am one of the most laid back and calm types of chap, but i have to come clean and admit that this game turned me into a raging frustrated maniac, so much so that i lost my cool after the several hundredth or so quick time event and i smashed my ps3 controller off the wall in dejected abject desperation, destroying it completely and i was swearing blue, bloody murder towards the designers who crafted this god awful abomination.

Parts of the game, i will admit, are rather wel...
