Uncharted Collection demo up in PS Store Worldwide

Precisely how I felt. Man, I couldn't believe how dated it looked. Then I realised it was 6 (six!!!!) years ago. Fuck me, time flies. But still...

Of course, once I saw the Tibetan city from above, that faded into the background, but even still you can tell that the skybox is seriously low res. You couldn't really tell that back in the day, or we were used to it.

It is a weird one as I always had it in my mind that Uncharted 2 looked better than TLOU but I guess that wass just rose tinted glasses or whatever you want to call it. But playing this demo then switching back to TLOU Remastered it is a startling difference. The biggest shocker is how simple the animations are in UC2 while with TLOU, it's animations have yet to be topped by any next gen game imo.
 
I don't know why but that make me chuckle. Was it deliberate?

Haha, that was a stupid statement considering a remaster should always look better :p

I guess what I meant was that even a glossied up version of a game that's 6 years old looks better to me than what I remembered of it in my head, and I found that surprising because it's usually not the case, even with nice HD ports/remasters. They rarely live up to the nostalgia goggle vision that's stored in my memory. It also looks far better than what I expected from this, even seeing screenshots and videos.

I have not played any game in the series, this will be my first time with all 3 games

Will the demo spoil something? From which game is it?

It does spoil a pretty nice setpiece in Uncharted 2 but its is no where near the best.

But the game comes out in a few days anyway so to me not a big deal.
 
I take back saying it looked better on PS3.

I also misremembered when a particular shootout happened. It happens right before the hotel climb when I referenced it coming after when wishing it was part of the demo. Whoops.
 
just downloaded the demo and here is some of my pictures :D we need a photo thread

Glad there is a demo. That way people can see if they want to buy it or not. Shouldn't be any bitching that the series isn't for them or something.
 
Crazy that a bunch of people are down on the graphics. I booted this up earlier and I was stunned by how good it looks. The art direction is really fantastic and has held up very well.

The rooftop pool section in particular looks gorgeous.

I just got the platinum for Uncharted 2 a week ago so the game is still fresh in my mind. That being said, bluepoint dos one hell of a job with this remaster. This games feels so fresh and smooth right now. Wow I can't wait to play them all again.

Well it is a PS3 game guys that was launched years ago, and this is an upgraded version too. Either you had rose tinted goggles on how you remember it looking or it didn't age as good as you thought.

This is a Uncharted 2 demo, right?
What sequence/scenario exactly?

The Chloe and Nate section where your running away from the helicopter on the rooftops.
 
Just finished playing the demo and it feels wrong. I'm usually a fan of 60fps but it really feels weird in this game. After playing it on ps3, I'm not so sure I appreciate the new feeling. It's like drake is floating.
 
Finally got around to trying it. This could easily pass as not only a current gen game, but one of the best looking current gen games, holy shit. The 60 FPS is amazing looking too wow.

I'm gonna have a really hard time going back to uncharted 4 at 30 FPS after playing through this collection...it's honestly going to suck.

That's how I feel every time I go from PC to PS4 exclusive. I really wish 60fps was the norm this gen.

I hit a pretty serious bug within 10 minutes of starting the demo, Nate just clipped through the ground almost entirely and was just stuck there. I also feel like something is off with the game's look and the characters' facial animations. Maybe I'm just misremembering the game... it's a weird feeling.

You're telling me.

I'm playing though TLoU: R currently, have to go through MGSV next, and I got this bad boy preordered.
 
I played the PS4 version and was pretty impressed by the graphics and overall look.

I immediately booted up my PS3 copy to compare, using Urban Warfare specifically. I'm shocked how much of that graphical flourish was in the original release. It really is still a great looking game.

I've been playing it on PS3 recently so I'll probably finish it there and maybe give Uncharted 3 another shot. Might pick up the PS4 collection this Christmas.

When did you last play it on PS3? The game is 6 years old now.

Many of the glitches in the PS3 version of UC2 are still intact. I'm currently stuck in an endless loading screen because I hitched a ride on a propane tank off of the hotel.

Is this up in NA yet, because my PS4 is doing this sweet thing where when I click on the Playstation Store it just doesn't load ever. It has that sweet screensaver like background and O Cancel and that's it. No store. Tried searching the store on my computer and can't find it to send to download on the PS4, either.
