Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection practically confirmed

Wow has uncharted 2 aged badly (going by this demo). Or is it just Bluepoint are rubbish at porting?!

Been playing Tomb Raider pretty solidly recently as is free on Games for Gold. Always remembered uncharted 2 being very similar, however playing both back to back now, it shows how bad Uncharted 2 is both graphically, gameplay and controls (in comparison).

Also it's very much evident just how much the Tomb Raider reboot literally cloned Uncharted! I don't think they could have copied it more if they tried.

This demo has totally put me off the idea of getting the collection and I'm hoping that Uncharted 4 really is a big leap on from the very last gen feel these games give now.

You seem harder to please than me tbh.....

It looks and plays fantastic.
 
The demo was buttery smooth and looked fantastic. Wasn't going to buy (as still have a PS3 and the originals), but will pick this up when there is a deal on it, as love to play them again.

You're talking about the same devs who done an excellent job on porting MGS to last gen consoles including the PS Vita.

They are in no shape or form bad developers.

Pah, hes a huge troll. Ignore like everyone else does every single word he posts. Hes not hard to please, just a loser with no life other then trolling in public forums.

He's a total xbox fanboy. Won't have anything bad said about his beloved Xbone and constantly bleats on about how poor the PS4 is. The annoying thing is that I have him on my blocked list yet I still see his posts if somebody quotes him :mad:
 
I've never understood how someone can love a console and hate everything else so much. I doubt even Microsoft employees defend their console/bash PS4 so vehemently.

Agreed. I was pretty much an Xbox 360 only guy last gen, but I never hated the PS3 at all, I still actually owned one. I just preferred Xbox. I don't see the need to hate or belittle something you don't like. Just ignore it and move on.
 
For everyone that cannot read properly, I have not made any reference to Xbox being better here.

I've compared two games, both of which are in fact on PS4. Tomb Raider is the better game, and this Uncharted demo has made this very apparent.

Uncharted Collection demo:

1) Graphics are definitely worse than Tomb raider.

2) Buggy rag doll effects

3) clunky "floaty" controls of drake. Tomb raider's are much sharper and less instances of getting stuck on scenery etc.

4) weak gun effects

5) long initial load time

6) Worse presentation than tomb raider in the menus

7) more simplistic gameplay mechanics. No weapon upgrades, skill points etc.

Uncharted 2 has aged massively and the fact that naughty dog have put arguably the best part of Uncharted 2 in (the building collapse) and it's still weak, says it all.

Considering you are a mod, you should perhaps punish people for attempted bullying and childish remarks rather than erroneously believing their pathetic slander.

I haven't knocked any console here, and if anyone seriously is claiming that this demo is a better game than tomb raider, you're a complete naughty dog fanboy.

Totally. This collection is being released for fans of the series that would like to replay in 1080p 60 fps, something the ps4 will allow, or for the many that didn't get the chance to play due to owning only an Xbox 360. It's not being released to compete with tomb raider.

The df article on this collection was very positive, more positive then the xbone tomb raider game due soon ironically , but that's besides the point. It's just crazy how he belittles anything other then Xbox , wish a mod would just ban him from this sub forum.

He ruins so many threads, and like you I have him on ignore but sadly doesn't stop me seeing his pathetic drivel when someone quotes him....

So you played it on Xbox then?

But you are comparing to the XBox One version of Tomb Raider ref previous statement?



1) Graphics are definitely worse than Tomb raider.

Not played Tomb Raider so I can't really say, but they look fine to me, and 60fps is more of an improvement than any minor graphical changes.

2) Buggy rag doll effects
Not noticed this, and in the scheme of the demo level, I doubt I would even notice.

3) clunky "floaty" controls of drake. Tomb raider's are much sharper and less instances of getting stuck on scenery etc.
Seems fine here, maybe that is the difference between 30fps Xbox tomb raider controls and 60fps uncharted?

4) weak gun effects
Not sure what you mean?

5) long initial load time
No issue here with 2TB seagate/samsung drive - there are other games that are far worse

6) Worse presentation than tomb raider in the menus
Don't spend my life staring at menus, but seemed adequate whilst I had a quick look at what new options were there.

7) more simplistic gameplay mechanics. No weapon upgrades, skill points etc.
It's a remaster it isn't going to be changed. Upgrades and skill points absolutely not needed in this. Crafting and upgrades seemed fine in Last of Us though, so Naughty Dog can absolutely do it right.

Most games with set pieces age massively, once you have seen them that's it. But the same goes for lots of games including other popular franchises such as CoD, and even Halo.

Not sure anyone was arguing it was or wasn't better than Tomb Raider - this is an Uncharted thread after all. Personally I lost interest in Tomb Raider after the endless reboots - I much prefer a coherent franchise with characters I can follow between games.
 
So does it stack up well to the PS3 originals guys? Loved all 3 Uncharted games and i'm thinking that if I ever get a PS4, this will be an essential purchase.

It's a polished version of the originals. They have added some decent AA, V-sync and it runs at 60fps.

It's uncharted running on hardware that can do the game justice. It looks and plays great.

I played them to death on the PS3 and was dubious of this at first but have pre-ordered and looking forward to replaying without screen tear, jaggies and a decent frame rate.

Comparing a remaster of a 6 year old game to one from last year is a bit desperate.

Regardless I'm sure U4 will stomp all over new TR.

U2 does look great - the PS4 remasters have generally been great so far.

I could also follow through on my statement of making sure any rampant fan boys have their forum access removed if they continue trolling. Just a thought.
 
Tomb Raider is a 2013 game, originally on PS3/360. Definitive edition is a remaster also.

The defensiveness demonstrated here is borderline fanatical.

My entire original post simply stated that Uncharted 2 has aged massively and the demo was a disappointment compared to Tomb raider (the closest game to it).

You're kidding yourselves if you really believe that the uncharted demo is particularly good.
