Uncharted 4 Story Trailer

I just cancelled my preorder. What kind of bullshit is that? stealing art? the rest of the game was probably made by buying assets from Turbosquid at this point. You really can't trust thiefs.

Holy shit!

I'm gonna be so torn between the digital crack that is UC4 MP and the SP. Days off from work will be taken.

Don´t be so insistent. Is probably a mistake, not the end of the world. Enjoy the marvelous trailer. I am sure it was not made public to argue about a pic.

My issue is how willing people are to dump on ubi and give ND a pass. Its a gross double standard. I've had my ND avatar for almost 10 years, I'm a huge fan. This is not about console wars or favoritism. Its upsetting seeing so many people brush off plagerism like its nothing. Its not confirmed to be stolen and it could just be a mixup, but if it wasn't? You'd still have people saying meh no biggie.

The reactions and conclusion jumping here are hilarious. People are imaging this scenario:

Artist: Neil, what about the painting that Drake needs to stare into?

Nl: Steal It from somewhere,

Artist: But we have a whole team of environment artists who are not working on anything critical right now as we're just in pre-production of Last of us 2. They could whip something up in an hour....

Neil: We just can't afford to create any custom art for this game. Steal it from somewhere.

Artist: We actually have a TON of environment art we've created over our past 20 years of game development. We could just drop any of them in...

Neil: STEAL. IT.

Neil probably took a selfie with the concept art that they ended up using.

Could just be placeholder art that they forgot was placeholder, I suspect that was the situation with the map in TLoU. They really need to be more careful though, it's probably a good thing it was noticed now instead of the retail release because I'm sure Ubi would have wanted compensation.
What's strange though is that they'd bother to Photoshop the person out of the placeholder. On the other hand, I can't imagine they'd be so dumb and believe they could get away with it.

People are really quick to say they stole the artwork and think they are trying to get away with it. It's more likely a mistake and a placeholder. Why would ND need to steal anything with the resources and talent they have? Regardless of whether you have faith in that, why not wait for ND's response before wasting your time and energy getting worked up over something so silly?
 
Maybe somebody just googled "rock arches beach" and used the first cool pic that popped up.

This is actually the photo that pops up

It was probably placeholder and then they forgot to add their own art.

Wow that trailer was amazing, but I gotta be honest... That aciv thing is devastating to their image. How the fuck did they think that was a good idea?
DEVASTATING!

Just no! QB and ROTR doesn't have skin deformation. Didn't i said to you that you should check NX Gamer E3 Demo video analysis? Oh, yes i did. U4 is far better in facials than both. And alsou U4 looks quite better than both also.

This is even clearer.

My PS4 fan goes pretty crazy when playing TW3 at times.

I think UC4 will push that thing into over drive, I should give it a good clean lol.

I would imagine it was placeholder art that was used as just quick storyboard material and then they had a scene where they needed some pieces and the artist forgot where he used the material from.

I thought this as well. Now we know the true meaning of a Thief's End.
 
They snuck in a scene from the ending into the trailer.



He makes it home but his luck runs out. You can only take so many gun-butts to the head.

That would be the saddest ending ever
.


Yeah. My friend is predicting that his brother will die which will cause him to realize he doesnt want to do this anymore. I could also see something like that, but i do expect there will be some kind of sad moment in Uncharted 4 whether Drake, Sully, or his brother dies.
 
kinda kicking myself for watching it, but did the same with Uncharted 2 & 3 and enjoyed them greatly

now about that trailer......OH MY GAWD!!!!! I'm at a lost for words that trailer was so good it almost sold me another copy!!! naughty dog really is send Nathan off with a motherfuckin big bang!!!

I just Google'd that "I am a man of fortune" quote and Druckmann didn't even write it. It was some dude called Henry Avery.

Naughty Thieves, lol.

Yup so devastating it'll be the best selling Uncharted game to date most likely.

It's a gross oversight but as stated it'll be rectified and everyone will move on. Some posts in here act like they should be thrown in jail.

But it's not confirmed yet ? I will be mad if it was true and will call out ND for doing it but we have no information about what happened...

I'm sure Gaf will do its job when the moment come.

Well, shit, Naughty Dogs didn't even make Uncharted, they straight up put Indiana Jones in a Tomb Raider game.

I'm fine with that logic, but it's not something you then use as an end game in-art asset. Best bet is a place holder and the actual art created by ND staff wasn't included on accident. Worst case is that an artist passed it off as his/her own. At this point I will assume it's a placeholder until we hear otherwise from ND themselves.

Either way, guaranteed that will not be the image in the final game.

I quite literally said in the post you quoted that its not confirmed. My problem is with the people saying no biggie its just a piece of art.
 
Anyone considered the possibility of a crossover between both games and sth that happened in that same area within the same timeline? Anything is possible and if this is true this would the biggest secret the game has.
