Don't post anything please. Very easy for someone else to copy and paste it elsewhere unsuspected. You got it early. Congrats. Now don't be a showboat.

I think that if you are using spoiler tags and description (for example- "this pic is from the latest Africa gameplay demo" so you can know it's safe if you already seen that demo) than there is nothing problematic here.

He should post it in here and not in the screenshots thread, people don't expect to see there anything U4 related and they might click by mistake, but here videos were already posted and people know this thread can be with tagged spoilers.
 
But what about the guy with the receipt from that one place, that one wasn't stolen was it? Or the one's in Peru, or the one's in New York.

CEX only deal in second hand goods, though they can sell 'as new' items, someone needs to bring them to the store first for trade-in. Those copies of U4 that CEX sold could have come from anywhere before purchase by the customer.

GAF can be read by anyone, even people who love to spoil things.

Keep it out of here GAF,

Keep it out of here GAF,

If someone wants to spoil he can do so regardless, I'm sure he can find stuff from other sites as well, so it won't matter much.

I'm on a blackout other than any official ND stuff, I didn't see the leaked videos as well and I still support people's freedom to post what they want as long as it's carefully described and tagged, why would I force my blackout on others who are curious?

Because some lurker will take it from gaf, post it on twitter/facebook and it will get shared around and seen by many who don't want to be spoiled.

Thats illogical. Are You suggesting that people should not post impression and screenshots of game not released globally till its released globally?
What if game launches 10 days later in EU than NA, do You think NA player should not post anything, because EU players are not able to buy game normally?
What about PC gamers that are digital locked many times or get games month later?

If game is out to the public, from many sources, You cannot expect to people to respect publisher release dates to talk about game their want.

Impressions sure. Spoilers NO. At least not this far out from release.

How does it compare with TLOU, the Orderor Driveclub photomodes in terms of what features are included.

Its pretty much the same but you can now remove characters from it, like yourself, buddies, civilians etc or all of them. I expect plenty of environment screenshots in the screenshot thread when this is released.

Some people consider everything a spoiler. And pretty much every screenshot or video would be spoiler for some.
Tag it as spoiler, post links, instead of tagged images and it should be fair game for anyone.

Good amount of incompetence on display, thanks for another smooth launch, Sony!
You ship a game two weeks in advance (which has been delayed 3 times already), yet you expect retailers to leave copies collecting dust in stockrooms for another two weeks when there is clearly demand and customers willing to pay more to get it early? You think independent retailers give two shits about enforced release dates?!

Just give the go-ahead to sell the game already, the launch is fucked up anyhow.

Stop splitting hairs, it's quite clear what the definition of spoilers is.

Tweet from TGC (UK retailer who are usually on top of stock deliveries etc.) : "We don't have stock and don't know of any other UK retailer despatching Uncharted yet (apart from 1 person from CEX?)!?"

Sry if this has been asked a lot before, but didn't follow the thread the last few pages due to work.

Any signs of coop in any way? (even splitscreen maybe?)

That lurker can take it from anywhere, and here there will only be some screenshots, he is not going to share any story details and if you want you can ask him to only post environment shots without any set piece or story spoilers so GAF won't be the source to the really nasty spoilers stuff.

Ahh cool, in TLOU photomode you could remove enemies, buddies and yourself. Some nice shots can be had from it, can't remember if civilians was included though.

That makes the photomode just about better than every other one for me :). One of my wishes when it came to photomodes for other games like Infamous, DC was being able to remove these things at will and just take pictures of the scenery.

How are the visuals? if you didn't mention them I guess you aren't really blown away?

We've had numerous shipping confirmations in this thread, though?

Yup. Wouldn't be shocked if a lot of retailers don't have stock right now and will start to trickle in over the next week.

Maybe some smaller stores got them in and broke street date like always. But I also don't believe Shu would fabricate a statement about a theft. Hell didn't we have people steal a shipment of amiibo?

It sucks but the guy with the eBay page most definitely is going to get a talking to.

Not shipping confirmations, the only copies in the wild are from the stolen batch being resold in the UK on ebay or CEX, or from independent retailers in certain countries (Peru, Philippines, and did someone mention New York?)

You could remove characters from photo mode in TLoU.

Dude, what's the matter with you.

We've seen the game. It looks good. Don't go all crazy when people aren't immediately screaming it off the rooftops, shaking, with the DS4 in-hand.

lol dude calm down.



If you're taking about the amazon orders, it was a glitch in their system. Everyone got emails reflecting the new date.

You really seem to be in a negative assumption mode. We're all sad we can't play right now. No need to let it get you worked up.

I'm calm and not negative at all, I got the game pre ordered, it's just that you expect anyone who plays it for the first time to comment on the visuals as it's the first thing you actually see :)

The fact that he played with the photo mode means he could check them out closely.

huh

UPDATE: All Uncharted 4 stock sold at CEX and on eBay was the result of a violent assault and theft, PlayStation has said.

"We can confirm that unfortunately some contents from a lorry transporting a variety of video game and DVD titles, including a quantity of the much anticipated Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, was stolen in the UK, during a violent assault," a spokesperson told MCV.

"We are doing everything in our power to assist the police in their ongoing criminal investigation.

"To be clear, we have yet to ship any stock of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End to retail and so any suggestion that UK retailers have broken the official street date is not correct.

Goddamn it, I just finished the Uncharted trilogy earlier and now I get news that there are Uncharted 4 copies in the wild? Well, I'm going to go look around video game stores this weekend. Hopefully Malaysia got some copies too. :p
