First Previews of Uncharted 4: The Phantom Pain

Nyadc - PC versions of games look better

Welcome to what we already know.

Then again....how good are the UC4 graphics on PC?

@StrongBlackVine: no UC game has ever been amazing

Whoo GiantBomb and this type of a game. I wonder how Quantum Break previewed at GiantBomb. If Jeff ends up reviewing this game and gives it a good score, social media xbox fans are gonna go crazy. The dude who attacked phil about exclusivity is gonna lose his shit lol.

Was expecting some type of gameplay, now I'm disappointed .

Yup, looks like a decent Tomb Raider rip-off. I might buy it when its $19.99 in about a year. The 900p multiplayer mode will probably be kinda fun, for a few hours.

@dynamitecop:

GS always compresses and lowers the image quality. Also, they are screen grabs from high-res hq vids from gamersyde, so that diminishes quality a tad.

@Juub1990:

WYSIWYG

@jereb31:

Show me a real-time cutscene that matches or beats what they're doing with UC4. Looks amazing to me.

@ellos:

So a tiny, compressed gif is a better representation?

Here's a grab from a vid and then the corresponding bullshot. You can easily discern that GS and the screengrab nature have diminished image quality, but not to substantial degree.

IMO, UC4 doesn't look as good as TW3 maxed, but it's still damn impressive.

Real time cut scene or non-in game engine cutscene. It would seem you answered at least one of these questions with this comment. "IMO, UC4 doesn't look as good as TW3 maxed, but it's still damn impressive."

Non-in engine cut scenes just look at any of blizzards recent titles.

It got 2/5 from Jeff on GiantBomb and he gave some great points, very well written review. Looking at previews online you would never known how average the game is. That was my point, these previews are extremely biased and misleading. I watched some reviews on Youtube and i have my own reservations but im still excited about playing it. I will buy when its cheaper or gets some DLC.

It's a bit sad to compare huge open world game to Uncharted, on both ends

Yet the images I uploaded of Tomb Raider, Just Cause 3 and The Division still look nearly perfect...

No the gif represent a grab from videos of a section that will be gameplay. Its meant to try to represent as seen on high quality video. Showcasing something current and a not obvious low quality shot grabbed perhaps directed from a youtube video. I'm just here to say hey calm down a bit the game wont look that awful lol. As I said even downgrade that gif and the game doesn't look as awful as you tried to paint it to be. The game will have a lot of graphics discussion when its out. They will be plenty of wow of different areas showcasing it. Simple thing that psx demo never looked blury and any sort of motion blur was missing. If you cant see your pick are blurry then I cant help you. And yes no console game can match pc max.

Those shots look less impressive than what was showcased previously. Still looks good though. And is it just me or UC4 lacks color correction?

So, cows were hyping these to be the graphics king?

@ellos: I feel calmer from this comment. Thank you calm inducing man.

@mems_1224: In your opinion. To millions of others it has been

To be fair, they were fed a lot of bullshit from Naughty Dog for a long time, but any rational person saw through the facade, they didn't.

Yeah, you're such a rational guy, NYadc.

Quote :

Because it's Uncharted 4, the supposed graphics king, and more and more that comes out about it the less and less good it looks.

It's Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3 level, does that bother you?

.....

Hahaha. LOL! Guys, it's NYadc, same old dumbass lem. As i said before : what's the difference between dynamitecop and NYadc? NONE! Same person spew same shit.

@jereb31:

Yeah, but ND is the standard in real-time cutscenes. I meant gameplay when I referenced TW3, just to clarify.

@dynamitecop:

I got direct feed shots now:

SP

@ellos:

Well gamersyde vids are much better than youtube. I'm sure you're aware that gif is sourced from a hq vid like the one I used from gamersyde and then compressed even more heavily and shrunk down?

@StrongBlackVine: bet you think the transformer movies are amazing too. The vast majority of people have shit taste so unless you think Justin Bieber is amazing you should find another argument.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Your entire existence is a flop.

Is it? U2 says hello to you and over 100 GOTY awards.

Lems are damn funny and pathetic creatures. And also a rational like NYadc/dynamitecop. LOL

That "single player" screen shot still looks to be part of a cut-scene, not gameplay, and even in that case there's really nothing special about it. The multiplayer image, that just looks dated, Far Cry 3 looks arguably better than that.

Just for clarifications sake, you are talking about a cut scene that is not pre-rendered and is running within the game engine correct?

I don't think they are "The Standard" they haven't really done anything special in their cut scenes.

UC4 looks pretty colorful in some of the screenshots in the OP.I think this game will end up being a great or superb game, but I still think it won't meet the hype to end up as the 2016 GOTY or whatever else people like to hype this game as.

@imt558: Well there you go,

The SP shot is the best I could find with without using a screengrab from a vid and it looks to be right as the gameplay is transitioning in, so pretty much gameplay assets are loaded. Either way it's probably the best overall looking console title and better than QB and native 1080p in sp.

@jereb31:

Real-time cutscenes are run real-time on the game engine, not pre-rendered cgi movies. UC4 uses real-time cutscenes, Blizzard games use CGI which isn't representative of the engine at all. ND arguably has the best animation in the industry as well. You don't get creepy uncanny valley feeling from the characters, they have emotion and complexity...

Only in character models but then when most of your development time ges into it, it's no big deal considering that's what used to give the illusion of the 'power' of hardware platform. Most other devs don't have that requirement to show the illusion of jump through cutscenes.

@gamecubepad: Yeah as you can see there is just way too many screenshots of different qualities. The gif is from story trailer an area of interest to dive in to for some of the tech. Obviously does not match cut scene quality another area is the water with the jeep falling and rainbow. These are just levels that we will get to play and I'm sure plenty of gameplay screenshots will flood sw lol. Its shaping up to be another beautiful looking console game. Yes cutscenes are real time and will show who ever the player load out is, also speculation drake's shape for sweat and other effects build up. Empasis on how busy the player was. Very dynamic stuff or rather I should say unnecessary attention to details lol

Uncharted will probably slot in between Rise of the Tomb Raider Xboxone and Pc. If those shots hold up in motion. Xboxone version can be quite a shimmering mess in motion and hit and miss on some lighting effects. I actually bought the xboxone version then few days later pc version got announced.

It certainly dispelled all the rumors that this game would have good graphics

It means the game is entirely linear point A to B but the levels are larger simply to give the illusion of an open world, think Crysis.

In a nutshell, a bunch of useless space that is simply there to be space.

haha ziiiiing

Well he did call the game "Uncharted 4: End of a thief" lol...

@mems_1224: Bad analogy. Neither Transformers movies nor Justin Bieber are critically acclaimed. Whether you like the games or not 88, 96 and 93 metascores speak for itself regarding the quality of the Uncharted games.

They are some of the best games made in the last decade and whether you personally like them is irrelevant in the big picture.

I'm sure it'll review well like the other Uncharted games. I'll judge the "more open and varied" gameplay mantra when I finally play it, but for the most part, it looks like just another Uncharted game. All flash, and limited substance. Console gamers are easily swayed though, so it doesn't surprise me that folks are drooling over another Uncharted game.

Some more great previews empasis on previews, but none the less. It seems like very different playing uncharted game or rather mechanically improved. And again graphics upgrades given how some of the posted old shots look like lol. There was even a video leak that went private. People watching saying its gorgeous god damn it i cant watch video is private now.

Just saw a vid but it's down now :(

Looks great and the environments are huge! You can explore everything by car, and the best part is that you can jump in/out the vehicle any time you want to explore on foot!!!

@StrongBlackVine: back pedalling on your argument already? You go from this game is popular that makes it good to a small group of people said this game is good so it must be true? Do you have any thoughts of your own? No, that's right, you don't actually play games. You just troll and spew garbage her and at neogaf

Yep part of the preview and ND touch of character dialogue is present while exploring. One of there best features of story telling. Highlighted by TLOU Ellie.

"Show me a real-time cutscene that matches or beats what they're doing with UC4. Looks amazing to me."

Those images look like "graphics upgrades" to you? Dude, it's looking super cross-generational... I mean, what the hell is this? I know these are pictures for ants, but that looks mediocre beyond belief, The Phantom Pain looks more impressive from what I can tell and it's a similar environment.. These are also the only gameplay screen shots from the look of things...

Yes look massive upgrade compare to the pictures that you want to paint as how the game look. I bet if I resort to your level of ignorance I'll post a better looking carpet of ROTTR on xbox360 vs xboxone for example. We get it no matter what this game is crap to you.

Don't get your ass hurt pal, nothing 'gameplay' wise in those images looks impressive, it's super underwhelming and appears quite cross-generational. We're getting the first playable images from this game, and it looks on level with Metal Gear Solid V.
