Crushing was already ridiculous. Oh no.

Glad to know they give us the option of playing without motion controls in the first game.
As for the new difficulty, they seem to be tinkering with damage levels so I'll guess we'll have to wait until we try it.
Crushing already had some rough moments...

Harder than crushing? Fuck me.
With the exception of one notable location at the abandoned monastery, I agree. UC3 was harder because there more enemies and often less ways to approach them.

Crushing in 1 was most difficult, at least in a couple parts.

This is what I remember as well. Crushing just lowered your health and increased how long it took to recover, so it was really just a matter of how long you're willing to wait behind cover.
Not trying to bash the game though, absolutely love the franchise and for sure getting this.

Oh man. Flashbacks to playing Uncharted 1. Had a blast on Medium / Hard. Tried Crushing and just turned it off after
Maybe I hit my difficulty limit, but I found it nearly impossible to not get hit at least once and so most of my time was spent cowering waiting for the screen to fade back to colour. Wasn't fun for me.
the plane crash bit.
If they want to do something on-par with Grounded difficulty in TLOU they could alter the enemy types you face. So, instead of normal guys in say Chapter 2, instead you would be up against armored guys. They could also add more enemies to the scenarios (not more waves, just more enemies) and even alter enemy placements as well. Uncharted can be a lot more difficult if you're not fighting non-armored goons.
Those changes + taking even more damage than you do in Crushing would be quite awesome.
This would be the opportunity to make a difficulty actually change some other things besides damage Drake takes. If they did it in TLOU (which they did) then they can apply the same logic here.

Uncharted 1 on crushing wasn't ridiculously hard, but it was rather the bullet sponge enemies and the random enemy spawning behind you so you have to shift from one side to another, making fights more dynamic.
The only truly difficult parts would be the mutants in all 3 games. The base games by themselves are truly not that difficult and are probably the best way to experience these games.
Best wishes.

Oh boy my controller will surely get crushed.
I remember the motion control grenade tossing. Didn't seem that useful. They could just remove that entire option and no one would care. Double so when Uncharted 2/3 didn't have it.
I'm wondering if they'll fix that glitch/oversight where you could cross the enemy spawn trigger point and be OUTSIDE the water-room and in cover just sniping people that came at you.

Crushing was actually pretty easy in Uncharted 1 if you knew the "corner shooting" trick, or at least that's what I called it. I realized early on in Uncharted 1 that the camera panning when Nathan is aiming is really, REALLY wide. This allows you to stay behind cover, without actually using the cover system, and just aim around obstacles, giving the aiming full view of enemies while not being in their line of site, so they can't shoot back but you can shoot them. It's rather broken, and allowed the majority of shoot outs in Uncharted 1 to be a breeze, especially the final showdown on the boat. It'll be interesting to see if they tweaked that in the collection.

Yes but U1 hardly has any cover and the reason i consider it the hardest on Crushing even with the "corner shooting" trick.
Is this a typo, not=now? And what do they mean by dynamic?

No way, it's the opposite.
In Crushing, enemies flank you and do everything to get you out of cover as much as possible.

Someone should ask if the difficulties will be available from the start

Oh fuck ... Uncharted 1 ... oh shit ...
To be fair though: You CAN camp some areas in Crushing without them being able to flank. The only trouble spots from what I remember were:
The infamous water room (which you can "glitch"), and the Sully-Drake Temple area before getting to Elena in.. 15-17? Right before they head to the Sub.
Uncharted 1's crushing wasn't that tough. It was only frustrating due to the high damage the enemies gave you on being shot. If you knew you had to headshot folks you already blew Crushings "difficulty" away. Head shot head shot head shot head shot head shot... while avoiding damage yourself.

Really? That one wasn't so bad. Chapter 11 - Trapped, where you're in that big dome and you're ambushed... Now that part I will always remember due to the way the enemies spawn and how bullet spongy they were.
Uncharted 1's encounters were very dynamic though, unlike Uncharted 2 and 3. Far more memorable encounter pieces. It often forced you to change your strategies halfway through the fights.
Best wishes.

Will this be 3 seperate games (and therefore 3 seperate platinum trophies) or a single game/trophy?
Indeed.

Throw grenades was so obnoxious in Uncharted 1.

Lets just hope the difficulties are available from the start so we don't have to do like 2 playthroughs ...
Should be three platinums.

Grounded Difficulty? In Uncharted 1? Fuck Me.

This so much. I always wondered why more shooters didn't include this type of mode for people. I am hugely not a "play it hard!" type player, but when they even the odds by making enemies 1 shot/1 kill too, it can be immensely enjoyable.
My biggest complaint with the Uncharted games is the bullet spongey-ness.
