I would be really surprised if anyone delivers a game that's more polished and more intense than Uncharted 4.
I'm not buying it because the demo totally turned me off. It had some neat ideas, but the fighting wasn't my thing.
If it is what people think it is (which I highly doubt), I would be upset. I have a PC to upgrade every couple of years. I don't want to worry about upgrading a console, too. I'm fine with a new console every 7 years. Sure, that means the hardware gets old, but it's not all about graphics. Plus, The Last of Us proves that even last-gen consoles still provided solid thrills near the end.
If Mass Effect wasn't coming, maybe I could see them trying to fill that void. But that would be a pretty big franchise to challenge. The Last of Us has no competitors. I could see something in the spy/secret agent genre, but I don't know how compelling that would be, as we're all used to Bourne and Bond.
I actually thought the gameplay was better than everything else. The cutscenes were very "last-gen". Everyone just stood around and talked. Most boring cut scenes ever. And the cutscenes were so long on top of it. I still haven't beaten the game. Graphics are amazing, though. I wish Bethesda would take some notes. If we could combine The Witcher's environments and open world with Uncharted's cut scenes and Skyrim's lore, we'd have a pretty sweet game.
This. If it was on XO and PS4 both, wouldn't that mean that mobile gamers are left out? Should there be a mobile port? Of course not. If you want to watch Orange is the New Black, you get a Netflix subscription. If you want to play Uncharted, you buy a PS4.
I enjoyed stealth in U4 more than I enjoyed it in U3. I found myself approaching every encounter with stealth first, and sometimes going completely around the encounter altogether.
It's not a world-wide event. It's an American expo. They don't time TGS for the USA. Why should E3 be any different?
I'm not interested. Nostalgia is not the best foundation for a game.
It's my favorite. There is one sequence in particular that isn't scripted at all but was my absolute favorite part of the game. It was incredible. Uncharted 2 had a lot of fabulous jaw drops, and I'll never forget its place in history, but A Thief's End is the culmination of everything Naughty Dog has learned, polished to a beautiful sheen. I loved it in a way that is almost embarrassing.
This is a game that inspires me as a developer. I've thought about this exact kind of game since I was 15 years old, and to see Sean, whose story so closely resembles my own, actually doing it drives me to want to buy the game at $60 even just to support him and his team. They're doing something incredibly ambitious, and that is not something we see very often in this industry. So many developers play it safe. I'm on board with those who are willing to be passionate, even if it me...
Oddly enough, I can't believe people even think about Chloe. I'm a brunette kind of guy, but for me, it was always Elena. I never thought about Chloe again.
When I finished this game, my first thought was how much I wished there were other devs as good as Naughty Dog out there because I don't want to wait for their next game. This stems off of an earlier thought that, if Naughty Dog ever runs out of original ideas, they could do a ridiculously killer video game adaptation of The Dark Tower series.
I wish with all of my heart that other devs could do this. But, if they can, they aren't. And that saddens me.
I didn't experience (or haven't yet, rather) anything this guy mentioned. There is one climactic battle scenario toward the end of the game that was absolutely thrilling, especially with the musical score accompanying it. I just kept thinking, "This is awesome," while downing bad guys.
That was my first thought. "They probably need to vacuum out their vents." Or they're having some other issue. But even if not, isolated issues are far from what we get with almost every other dev where the entire launch is marred by horrible performance *coughassassinscreedcough*.
I just read through a lot of the reports and most people are using custom hard drives. This means they could be using a 5200rpm drive that's causing the trouble.
I hope it's great. I'm one of those people still wishing Naughty Dog would do a space-based game.
It was obvious because they posted a tentative score in the first place. If they were being genuine, they would have put a big question mark where the score was supposed to be. Then, they could have given it an 8.8 and probably gotten half the negativity they did by posting early. They could have given it a 9, too, and at least have been respected a bit in the end.
I agree that the difference is perceptual. The "A" and "B" grade is a better analogy than saying that one is a fail and the other isn't. I just hope reviewers realize they can't please everyone with a number and keep giving out numbers all the same. I don't like reading reviews because I want to go in fresh, and a number just helps me to get a quick snapshot to help my buying decision.
Of course, buying Uncharted 4 was a no-brainer. My son sa...
