Uncharted 4 New Character Trailer: Nadine Ross (Laura Bailey)

Not really bothered by the fact that a black character is voiced by a white woman, since that sort of practice often occurs when only an actor's voice is required and their appearance isn't seen (Kratos anyone?). More annoyed by the fact that this game has another highly ubiquitous actor who is seemingly in everything these days. I'm playing through Tales from the Borderlands right now and guess which trifecta of popular video game actors are starring in it!

Nice snippet of footage. Excited to see the real thing when it airs during PSX.
 
Don't Hollywood unions have a rule where a white stuntman can't just put on blackface to play black character, even if the costume covers the entire body? Does that extend to VO in animation?

Very typical, isn't it? I must have seen this same scene in 13 different James Bond movies. but I guess it wouldn't be the first time, and it does look pretty (if a bit cartoonish).

From the higher quality YouTube video

The face animation looks strangely stiff to me. I think I've seen better in the Uncharted 4 footage we've seen before.
 
.....


Anyway, it looks great. So the end was the start of a gameplayfight, right?
That hair looks ridiculously good.

Dammit. I promised myself not to watch anything UC4 related anymore...

I really hope we get some extended footage of this at PSX.

But I am more impressed how good the environment looks than the characters in this, because we already knew how good they looked since E3. If the environment wouldn't be close to the level of the characters it would be really off-putting.

Whats off putting right now is the lip syncing. The models look near photo realistic but the voices dont match the lip movements. The uncanny effect is bigger.

I just hope this is something they can iron out because everything looks super polished and amazing except that.

Edit: TLOU lip movement looked very organic because they had stylized the characters a bit (much like uncharted 1/2/3) with bigger expressive eyes and such. U4 seems to follow realistic proportions, going for a photo real look.

Yeah the environment's gorgeous too.

I wouldn't really expect that since it seems like it's about to transition into gameplay. When the Uncharted 4 PSX panel was announced, Neil warned people that there would be spoilers, but not anything major. A boss fight would obviously be major.
Yeah, it seems to me like this boss fight is something ND would prefer to keep under wraps. Not only will it give away the story, it will also give away what could be a highlight of the game, in terms of gameplay. I really hope ND just releases a story trailer or a gameplay demo without a setpiece at PSX.
 
Bit disappointed that Drake's clothes are so stiff. I would have expected those to behave better. Or perhaps Elena starches their clothes? Other than that, love it. Drake looks old! :(
 
Game looks good. The new character looks good. Laura Bailey should not be voicing her. Otherwise I'm psyched to see how she fits into the story.

She looks amazing. So cool to see a buff woman with a very feminine, classy demeanor.

You guys think this is in-game ? The final camerashot certainly seems to suggest it ....

Wow, finally we have a female character that kicks ass that looks like it can kick ass. Was getting tired of all these model-looking softies that overpower male athletes like no tomorrow.

And Drake went full Nathan Fillion which I just love.

She looks great. Laura Bailey is really talented, too, because I'd never have realized it was her without reading it.

I don't get why there needs to be such qualification to fighting a woman, though. "I'll only fight you under protest and after being slugged around a few times first because you're a woman" That's a bit tiring from the same guy who kills hundreds of people without thinking about it.
 
Guys her face looks a little stiff because she is trying to intimidate Drake and she is not showing any other emotions except "you are going down boyo". Can't stop watching!!!
 
Currently on media blackout, is it as beautifully animated as I imagine?

I'll have to close my stream at PSX if they show more.

It deffo looks in game. I would be shocked if it wasn't. Lots of telltale signs of in game. The clothing etc. I just need this game now.

A female character that looks like she could actually have a chance fighting against a buff male protagonist? What is this shit? I demand no muscles at all, bigger breasts and animu face, not this ugly woman. I can't fap to this.

Looking at the first five posts I have was expecting something extraordinary. What I got was a minute of a cinematic between two characters. What the hell GAF!?

I'm looking forward to the game, but I was hoping for some gameplay footage.

Cuts off right when it looks like it's jumping into gameplay, maybe they will show the rest at PSX. Keighley did say it was a small taste because PSX is right around the corner.

I doubt it's a boss fight, probably the tutorial to melee combat.

Well, the exciting part is that the last seconds were a transition to gameplay.
So you're probably going to have to fight her. Best to leave that up to you when you play it.

They pity-fucked the game awards. They won't give away the big stuff just before PSX.

I thinks she's pretty sexy. (I do realize you're joking)
