Just finished it an hour ago. Boy the 60fps was a definite feature that was missing. I expected mexh experience but the controls & aiming were top notch. I haven't had this much fun hipfiring for a long time now. I can pull of head shots and can seamlessly go in and out of encounters far better than I did back on the PS3 (this means going crushing mode for a proper challenge).

The game definitely ages well, especially with the 60fps update. The higher resolution brought in a sharper more vivid IQ. It took awhile to get accustomed to the control format after playing Destiny and TLOU but it clicked immediately. Replaying it only makes me more excited for the remaster.

The only worry right now is U4. I don't thinkni can stomach 30fps if a 6 year old experience is holding extremely well with its control schemes. The previous generation was not as responsive and sluggish in comparison. Hell, i'm actually enjoying it moe than TLOU remaster which was quite the opposite last-gen. 60fps really is a game changer for me, i can't believe I was actually content last gen.

I'm gonna get slaughtered in here by saying I miss an option to run the game at 30fps.

Feels strange and "arcadey". Like it better with frame pacing that approaches movie. Also ignored 60fps in TloU.

Did you turn on camera motion blur in the options for this? That might give a more cinematic look.

Havnt played the demo yet, but your left analog stick might be fucked up. One of my dual shock 4s left analog stick won't register in that same spot. It's a well known problem with the controller.

The controllers at my local gamestop's kiosk have that issue, to the point where the games are unplayable. The ones i own personally i've never had an issue with though.

Well, shit. Looks like I'm going to have to test my controller in some other games, thanks for the heads up.

Nathan Drake Collection: Uncharted 2 Demo

Just a short playthrough of the demo. It's only 720p, unfortunately, as it was recorded directly via the Share button. I am hoping to get some sort of proper capture hardware/software so I can record in 1080p/60FPS. Anyway, even at 720p, you can tell there's one hell of a difference between the PS3 and PS4 versions.

That helicopter battle was a lot lamer than I remember. And you guys complain about humans being bullet sponges ;)

That, along with
the final encounter with Lazarevic
, are the only low points of the game IMO. Neither are fun and go on for far too long.

I died the first time, but only because I forgot where the launcher ammunation was placed on the rooftops. Second attempt was easy. Shoot, cover, run, ammo, repeat.

The 30fps lock in The Last of Us Remastered was awful. It was full of judder.

Having now gone through it, I have absolutely no idea how someone can play this demo and come out thinking the enemies are bullet sponges.

The only explanation I can think of is that they either only kept in memory using the FAL, or were counting how long it took for Chloe to take down an enemy by herself.

Everyone in the demo is an incredibly soft target, save for the helicopter.

Kinda bothered that the demo is so short, especially for a game (or games) that was released before, its not like you are giving a lot away. Would have enjoyed a small slice of each Uncharted 1-3 (I understand to keep downloads low why they didnt), or at the very least, having it end after the puzzle segment in the Temple.

If anything, I feel less inclined to buy the collection now, i wasnt as wowed as I would have liked, however Uncharted is a favorite franchise so we'll see

That's 30fps.

I'm currently playing MGSV, Tearaway and Mad Max... And if I want to play MM, I need to play it before the other two because it feels exactly like TLOU's 30fps lock when you're accustomed to 60fps.

Not just the 30fps. Must of been a frame timing issue or something. Felt like the 30fps you get in some PC titles, full of judder.

Not sure what the cause was. The only tarnesh on an otherwise perfect game.

I enjoyed the demo, but it didn't make me want to buy the full game. I've played the Uncharted 1-3 too many times i guess.

Can't wait for U4 though.

Do yourself a favor, get used to 60FPS, never look back.

this is not the first vid I've seen of this
seems to be a bug, which hopefully has been fixed in the full release
I've completed uncharted 2 several times on ps3 and never encountered this

You're worried about this?

This "30fps is unplayable" nonsense is just.. . nonsense. The Order 1886 was 30fps and yet that controlled fine, if not as good as 60fps games. The latency people talk about with 30fps is nearly indistinguishable. Not to mention, UC4 looks magnitudes better than UC2/3 remastered.

I played the demo and it looks stunning. 1080p, 60 FPS and a smooth edges make for a god like image quality. Bluepoint have done a superb job yet again.

The gameplay... ermm yeah.

Movement and the aiming feel kind of weird. It's not clunky but it's not precise either, it's kind of hard to explain. Tomb Raider Definitive Edition controls way better and Vanquish shits on both.

I've feeling that the gameplay just takes a while to get used to again. I finished the whole trilogy on PS3 less than two years ago and I thought it played really well at the time. I think after couple of hours of playing the gameplay will feel natural and I don't even pay attention to it.

Damn. This game looks phenomenal with all of the enhancements.

Much like TLoU:R, the photo mode will mean I will take dozens of hours extra to complete these games.

Just got the game early from a local store. Will post impressions later on.

Does anyone know what the day 1 patch is supposed to be? It's not up for download yet.

I'll never understand the love for 60fps, it's an absolutely terrible trade off. So happy ND went with 30fps for UC4, the game looks stunning and it would not look anywhere near that at 60fps. I don't know, people on this forum make it that liking 30 over 60fps means the person has a mental disaability, in the real world I know lots of people that prefer 30fps. For TV shows as well it's so distracting, like everything is going at double the speed.

I wouldn't say UC2 aged poorly, but I think everyone had it in their head that would be still stand toe to toe with modern titles in 1080p.

Performance optimizations including tweaks to aiming controls
Minor gameplay bug fixes

IIRC:

UC1 is 7-8 hours
UC2 is 10-11 hours
UC3 is 9-10 hours

That's actually pretty short per game

Doesn't affect me too much since I'm paying for the collection which is like paying for one game and getting 3, which totals to about 30+ hours.

However, I kinda hope uncharted 4 is longer

I tried it for like a minute and it was awful, it felt so choppy after playing at 60.
