Uncharted 4 needed to ditch the wonky gameplay......

that the previous versions had, while it was okay for the first 2 games....3rd going on to the 4th uncharted, it needed to be redone and just touched up with more realism...and this is where my issue lies. With the last of us the animations and overall gameplay was very different and more realistic, IMO...i was hoping some of that would rub off onto the next uncharted...but NO it's more of the same. As for Wonky, i mean...its like drake has no bones inside his body and just moves awkwardly...hard to explain. A new animation system would have gone great with the awesome visuals, IMO.

Thoughts?

Oh and here is the Best version (uncompressed) of the new U4 gameplay (Colour corrected version) Warning!! 3.81GB

The gameplay looked fluid as hell and the movement was awesome like when drake walks on umeven ground he has to steady himself, seamless transistation into mud slide etc.

#haters gona hate

So it's not the gameplay that's wonky but the animations?
I'm really not sure what you mean, tbh. The gameplay has always been fun and UC4 actually does have some Last of Us elements in it as far as I can tell. In what they've shown this weekend, there was more freedom in how you want to go about fighting / avoiding confrontation. while the game is still fairly linear, there are multiple options and pathways to take. There are much more possibilities to hide and sneak while the old Uncharted game were more about full-on assault and shooting down waves on enemies.

While it still felt a lot like the old games, this is certainly a different take on it.

The animation in Uncharted does tend to be on the exaggerated side, but it's most definitely a design choice. It's still a stylized series and that's just part of their shtick. I don't see anything wrong with it.

As for the gameplay itself, none of it is really awkward, just average. The platforming isn't fun, it's just there as something to do inbetween shooting waves of faces. Same for the puzzles. Then you have the actual shooting and melee, the meat of the game. Both of which are just good enough. Solid, polished, but not really engaging.

Haters gonna hate.

When alpha footage makes me want to play that game, I'd say it's a success.

Agreed, this hate is just dumb.

SNIPER?

Looked solid to me, and that was just an alpha looking that tight. Uncharted 4 is gonna make shit kneel next year.

People "in experience in gaming" will like it? GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!

Im very happy they keeping the gameplay and just adding new stuff. Now you can crouch and hide in the vegetation... which i must say looks great. I just hope online they remove the blindfire autoaim!!!

It still looks like the same gunplay as the other uncharted games. Still bad. The animation was always good.

Naughty Dog are great with animations and the demo looked solid.

I don't understand the mindset of gamers seeming to want game series to redefine themselves every two games. A reboot of controls doesn't need to happen often if at all. Many games would lose their personality if changed too much. Resident Evil and Tomb Raider are rare revamps to themselves that have been successful.

LMAO. Only Xbox fanboys bash Uncharted. All 3 games on PS3 are epic. I have not played GA on Vita, but I imagine it is great too. The word "Mediocre" is used waaaaaay too much on the internet. Calling anything "Mediocre" is like saying the game is a 5/10 when the series is obviously AAA 9+/10.

If Uncharted is a mediocre series, then what does that make Halo and Gears of War? Those games are much worse than Uncharted. You can't justify calling those games 9+/10 and not do the same for Uncharted. You guys are crazy. Hopefully you get some higher standards. But from what I have seen on the internet, you guys constantly overrate Nintendo games, so I am not going to hold my breath LOL.

Piss off and play something else then,

Nobody if forcing you to play Uncharted 4. It really pisses me off when people think a game will be better if you totally change what makes that game the game it is, it also pisses me off more when developers do it and wreck the game because they think changing the game will make it better (Dragon Age II anyone?).

you know what other word is used waaaaaay too much on the internet? "Epic"

Yes because all critism is hate..... you cows are dellusional as hell with this games reveal.

and the "Alpha" buzzword.... again..... never learn...

Uncharted gameplay is fine and it looked even better during the demo

Uncharted also has that problem of Drake ruthlessly murdering literally hundreds upon hundreds of people per game and that not being recognized in the actual story. Tomb Raider had the same problem. I was supposed to believe Lara was this novice survivor barely scrapping by in cutscenes, yet in gameplay was literally at two points in the game mowing down men by the dozens at a time.

Uncharted 1 is 88 and GA 82 on metacritic,I wouldn't call this serie AAA 9+/10

constructive criticism is fine, bs like 'its like drake has no bones inside his body and just moves awkwardly...hard to explain'<<wtf is that about? drake feels nimble and agile like he is supposed to.

halo got similar criticism when it first launched 'bu-bu-bu chief is so floaty, he has no weight to him'

and not just alpha, PRE apha. dont forget the pre

because both games have unusual movement... the way nathan turns, aims and jumps are all weird looking, always have been, its not a dealbreaker... you just expect with a nextgen version for them to pay alittle more attention to to the details outside of higher textures and polys....

Same with Halo ... this super human marine that couldn't even sprint and jumped like he was on the moon on every damn location. It's lazy... and people take notice after 4 games worth of that laziness.

pre-alpha means d*ck with companies like this. I'l point you are a real pre-alpha in SC... but as pointed out, that sequence was fully featured both in gameplay and graphics, that was no pre-alpha aanything.... a load of marketing bulls*it.

dont see it. uc is super responsive controls which encourages people to run and gun. and master chief jump is awesome and is mostly criticised by people who want every game to feel the same.

and nd are focusing on gameplay, the encounter design is reminiscent of tlou which is a huge step up from the franchises norm. the verticality, ai breaking line of sight, stealth, indianna whip for extra traversal, spike thing from god of war/tomb raider for platforming variety etc. are step in the right direction.

this is going to be the best uc do date

#pre alpha

ofcourse you don't see it... I never had any higher expectations for you.

I'm not so sure, after all the last 2 games got AAAE Editors Choice Awards and Mcshea said the combat was some of the best he's played.

Constructive criticism.

Lol just stfu. I never said it was the best looking or playing game ever but people like you make it out to be Hitler. That gameplay demo showed quite a few improvements to the core game, it flowed much better, seemed more open, greater variety of ways to tackle situations.

Of course you would never admit that.

i have never played an uncharted game; i have taken the time to watch the footage; the primary appeal of the game to me is the gameplay, it looks good and really mechanically sound. plenty of options for tackling situations. very fluid when going from one thing to another.

i was genuinely impressed.

I think both the gameplay and animations are really smooth. But what makes it look wonky tho are the transitions between animations. It kinda break the immersion in Uncharted games and I thought that it would be gone in U4 but it seems not. Not a big deal tho.

No. What i'd like to be ditched is the T rating.

The gameplay looked really progressive, fluid and detailed.

At least have the courtesy to quote the proper chain so I have a reference.... thank you.

Why would I not admit it? you people said the same thin about TLOU ... "many different ways" b*tch please .... a few different doorways and crappy genericly or (planned) places to put items to use is childish level tactics... it really is making something shallow just slightly less shallow. I have no reason not to admit anything.... as I have a PS4 ... and its collecting dust because of generic graphic whoring s*it like this.

But hey... only 1 Uncharted game got AAA ..... I bet it will never happen again.

Haters gonna hate. There isn't a better looking game out there

TLHBO

Honestly, I just hope they don't go off the rails like they did with Uncharted 3. They went crazy with throwing over-the-top setpiece after over-the-top setpiece.

as a long time sony fan i'm really disappointed by the way uncharted 4 looks. from the lackluster graphics to the same clunky and repetitive gameplay, it's obvious that sony isn't even trying to make a good game here. :(

Lots of tears in this thread....if you don't like it....don't play it. How hard is that?

oh just stop. name a tps which has offers better sanbox gameplay than tlou.

Not played a ND since crash.

The mo-cap used looked like it was from Onlivion/Fallout 3. Just horrid with being outdated.

there is nothing sandbox about TLOU stop mixing your S*it up.

TPS is such a broad term as well.... TPS + sandbox is your criteria? then you are wandering into Just Cause / Grand Theft Auto territory and even games like Mass Effect .... ofcourse you can say "but they are not action adventure" ... well wtf does that even mean anymore? just how "limited" you want to make a game?

Oh I fergot the obvious example though... the answer is Tomb Raider..... easiest example in which UC/TLOU could learn from... but oh well, guess not in Uncharted's case.

Uncharted 1 was good. Uncharted 2 was awesome. Uncharted 3 was disappointing. GA is an (apparently, haven't played it) good spinoff.

It's a good, arguably great series, but the only standout amazing game from it is the second one.

And sorry, it simply is not as good as Halo (2 generations of amazing games) and Gears (top quality Epic trilogy, good spinoff).

lmao so mad at tlou greatness, which game, not open world, offers better sandbox encounters than tlou???

HAHA the hate is so strong in this thread. Uncharted 4 FTW

... Tomb Raider? or is that out of your "scope" too? lol

Its like saying "name a turd better than MY turd that is not a diamond" ...
