Imagine some sandbox stealth/action co-op gameplay! 😭

Note the rope impact on the environment @ 12:14. Thanks for the videos. Have you seen one where the player inspects a treasure ? Given the fair amount of dialogues and interactions this game has, I wonder if Nathan Drake will now comment on the treasures he finds like, let's say, Lara Croft.
Hmm.. That disarm animation makes the gun disappear from Nate's back. About the mechanic itself, it forces the player to vary his playstyle by smoothly modifying his loadout, which is good. On the downside however, you may lose your favorite gun in the process. (in some situations)

Don't change, Arty
That's not how it works
Unless you're joking
In which case well played
I noticed that. Sometimes he goes heavy Bronx too, just for a second.
He's a complete pro, so could be intentional. Perhaps S Drake lived in more places than Nate.

'just like TLOU it doesn't seem like they can die ...' Someone hasn't played TLOU.

Yea watching a very short snip of gameplay from this thread got me too damn hype. Had to go $20 in on the digital collection to get a refresh before UC4. Lets go!!!

Some people have pointed out Jacks brother looks a bit derpy there compared to the rest of the game.
Here's mc's face from gameplay. Looks damn great, but still wish they hadn't started the vs biz.
He reminds me of those aliens from the movie Mars Attacks, i feel like he's going to start making that AAAATATATATATATATATAAT!!! sound. It's the creepy eyes....

Looking amazing so far. That dissapearing weapon on the disarm animation was funny though

It did strike me as odd when Nate didn't mention anything about the trinket (in fact he points out the opposite) or the historical note book.

They got to be kidding me o.o
The funny thing is, Uncharted 4 is not only one the most anticipated games around, but also the one with the highest hype-levels. I expected a very, very solid game from ND, but I never imagined they would actually deliver something which lives up to that hype. Not with the 4th instalment of a game some people say peaked years ago. That said, the review thread might still turn out to be a bloodbath / graveyard of unmatched proportions.

Hmm, they'd need to let you shoot with the weapon until the clip is empty, and then have you throw the acquired weapon (press pick / throw button throws the one in hand) OR your existing one (pressing reload with acquired weapon in hand keeps the new one, ditches the old - intuitive and simple), without any of them suddenly disappearing. Too late to fix this though. Nice indirect shadows btw.
This is one the best thing that real-time cut-scenes add to the game, continuity.
My only fear is that it will make all cutscenes completely unskippable, which might become an issue when i make my fourth run.
Why would that make them unskippable?
Because the whole thing is in continuity, it can't load the rest of the game while the cutscene is running, unlike when a video is playing.
It's how it works in all previous uncharted iirc, prerendered cutscenes are skippable, real-time ones aren't.
I see what you did there
The PS4 can only stream as much, I'm assuming they'd be using the camera angles to obscure the loading at certain times... I'm wondering how they can achieve complete environment changes, if there are any. Probably we'll watch them talk in a confined space (plane, car..), and the multiple conversation paths will help us get through them using on multiple run-throughs.
Love the explosion and guy going flying by the door on the left...
I love how the sniper's light, lights up the grass.

If you notice the weapon he steal with the move is the same he have on his back.

I really like this idea.
It's a bit hard to see given the size of the GIF, but he swapped the AK47 for the FAL.

I much prefer previews like this, rather than the ones saying the combat is tight as ever.
Yeah i think you're right. Was the AK out of ammo?

Yes. Now that I examine the scene(s) carefully, this mechanic seems to happen only when the player is out of ammo. I thought it was something happening in a random manner.

I'm just watching the Eurogamer preview and it's a bit odd. Everything they say seems out of kilter with what every other person has said. Crap at games? The one thing that stuck out for me was when they say once an enemy spots you everyone else is alerted. That's not what I've seen in the dozen other vids and it's not what was said in the other dozen vids.
a few others have said somewhat of the same thing. this guy says that once the gun sounds go off everyone knows where you are. i could have sworn posters were discussing a player's location being instantly known upon firing the sniper, too.

This was in Uncharted: Golden Abyss and it was a nice treat. I hope they brought it over!
Gonna have to do multiple playthroughs to see all the winch conversations
Seriously though, I've seen very little, but so far I've loved all the banter
Infamous: SS had amazing facial animations. Textures were merely okay but the rest was top notch.
It is so very, very hard to tell if they're trolls or not sometimes.

I don't know if it's my imagination but if you look closely at the close up of Nate turning the ignition key in the jeep it appears his knuckles leave heat marks for a second.
edit: I think it does you know! Wow. Can someone gif that please? 00:33

Yeah, much of the enthusiast press's writing just isn't that detailed unfortunately. Nature of the beast.
But we've seen videos where a gunfight happens and then the player can lose all the enemies. Unscripted videos from this very release batch. The enemies even say 'we lost him'. This happened in TLoU.
What are these people smoking
Cheekily little backwards teleport about 3 feet
Lol
I read some of the previews, Eurogamer's was one of the few negatives that stood up, I don't really get what his problems, it's like he complains about the game not being focused but I bet that if we got Uncharted 3.5 he will complain about how the franchise didn't evolve.
You can't win really.
i don't think they're saying you can't lose them either. the video in my post talks about it, too, iirc.
Imma guess that we're gonna be escaping from an erupting volcano at the end of this chapter.

Shit, I'd forgotten all about him. Looking through his posts I can't see exact thing he was banned for. Although I'm not exactly disappointed he's not here.
Anyway back OT. Game's looking good, although I've only watched bits and pieces of this footage. Trying to keep as many surprises as possible.

MGS V exactly does this (snake drops the weapon once the player stop aiming) but for some reason ND didn't implement it
Can't believe I missed this post. Finally a video of someone who looks like they have played Uncharted before. Thanks for the videos!
Added to the OP.
