HOLY WHAT?!

 

[jetsetnickradio]

Why is everyone booing CG? Do you really want to see 1080p game graphics blown up on an IMAX screen?

 

[J-Skee]

I don't think there is CG in the game. It's likely just for this trailer.

CG for the trailer. No the game...

Well, I meant any CG, period. Those teams are so proud of what they make, they don't need to show anything in CG.

 

[zsynqx]

Eeeeeeeeh... it was more of a

character and game tone showcase

Cool but disappointing IMO

Was it all CG? What was the BTS stuff?

Exactly

Care to share how long it was?

 

[FunkyPajamas]

CGI?

Well, aren't all game trailers... computer generated?

 

[DedValve]

why not advertise the star wars game?

Sony owns Star Wars?

 

[Kyoufu]

Meh at CG. Went from FUCK YEAH to fuck that.

Yeah, it's pretty unnecessary when the game looks as good as it does.

 

[Raven117]

This quickly became one of my favorite gifs ever. Good work.

 

[AdanVC]

Oh my. Hope they upload the trailer online throught the weekend! Hope it's not just a boring interactive dialogue cutscene like the one they shown at PSX

 

[GnawtyDog]

I think Microsoft is the only one to pull that off (and only with Halo). Every other viral/ARG-type marketing campaign I've seen for video games has been subpar, in my opinion of course.

Uncharted 3 had a nice run with the half-tuck.

Uncharted 4 & Battlefront CG trailers are inexcusable. Actually doing the game a disservice.

No, but in-engine cutscenes rendered at super high resolution would be awesome and super impressive, especially if people in the audience thought it was CG and were then told that they were in-game graphics.

 

[BahamutPT]

It was about 30 seconds long. We DIDN'T have the behind the scenes stuff It was dubbed in Portuguese too, that kinda put me off.

I think we didn't get BTS stuff because we got some commentary on the Warcraft movie after the trailer.

 

[Jigolo]

Gamersyde pls, Druckmann.

 

[Rozart]

But I'm on an Uncharted blackout.

I'll just close my eyes and stuff my face with popcorn if it comes on.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

That's odd. Uncharted trailers are usually pretty awesome so I don't mind if they decide to go with CG (as long as it's Blur/Square/Robot-quality CG).

I would also guess it means the trailer is not made up of sections from the actual game, so no spoilers? Kind of like Starry Night or other Halo trailers.

What the heck, I never saw this video. Wow thanks for that link.

Did you not see it in the USA? Might not have been the same trailer.

The tweet says at select US theatres.

Ha! That's pretty cool, never saw it before.

 

[DeepEnigma]

No, but in-engine cutscenes rendered at super high resolution would be awesome and super impressive, especially if people in the audience thought it was CG and were then told that they were in-game graphics.

I don't think most people and who this is marketed to, knows the difference on average.

"Trailer for this cool looking game, cool."

 

[HeelPower]

Uncharted 4 & Battlefront CG trailers are inexcusable. Actually doing the game a disservice.

You're advertising this to the general public.

You need to look as good and eye catching as possible,especially on the big screen where its shown amongst other movie trailer.

CG is needed for that.Its all about the spectacle.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Well, aren't all game trailers... computer generated?

CGI in this case means pre-rendered. They're going to be showing other CGI trailers for movies so UC4 would look bad by comparison without a CGI trailer.The TV advertisements, which are quick and to the point will most definitely be comprised of mostly in-game footage. Not to mention the real trailers. Last I checked games don't usually have realtime trailers played in theaters.

 

[johnnydrama]

Already got my tickets for the new Uncharted 4 trailer. I hear that sci-fi film add-on is pretty decent too.

 

[xenorevlis]

Hopefully Cinermark plays it! Santana Row. 10:20pm (second listing)...

Probably CG because oh... IT'S ON IMAX THEATERS and 4K THEATERS...

 

[zsynqx]

I am hoping it is still just the in game stuff but with supersampled IQ etc.

 

[Boogalogist]

Wasn't gonna watch The Force Awakens...now I have to buy some tickets! brb...

Spoiler

who am I kidding? already bought way before this

 

[BahamutPT]

Pretty sure it was the same based on the image ND tweeted and descriptions of it being CG (there's no in-engine stuff).

oh, I know. Hence the italics. :O

 

[zsynqx]

Ah well. Still looking forward to it.

 

[NastyBook]

Holy crap...didn't even think about this opportunity. lol

I did. Years ago. It makes complete sense considering the damn series is like playing a fucking action movie. Took them 4 tries (while owning a movie studio, no less) to figure this out. LOL better late than never, I suppose. Great way to get the word out.

Which is the point of advertising to them.


you didn't think that post through did you?

LOL!

 

[Ploid 3.0]

CG, dangit.

 

[Ricky_R]

It's not that I dislike CG trailers per se, but I was expecting something from the actual game is all.

They haven't made a CG trailer since Uncharted 1, afaik.

 

[NullPointer]

Now that's some marketing wank worthy of respect.

And after that gobsmacking e3 demo I fully expect ND to make the most of it.

...Seriously...

 

[jetsetnickradio]

No, but in-engine cutscenes rendered at super high resolution would be awesome and super impressive, especially if people in the audience thought it was CG and were then told that they were in-game graphics.

That would be cool at E3 or PSX, your average movie goer probably wouldn't be impressed... or even understand the difference between CG and "in-game graphics."

Also, seeing the cutscenes in super high resolution in promotions and then in normal resolution in the actual game might be kind of a let down. People would be crying "downgrade!" Not that that would be new for Uncharted...

 

[ShutterMunster]

Why is everyone booing CG? Do you really want to see 1080p game graphics blown up on an IMAX screen?

Uh no one had any problems watching AVATAR on IMAX screens...🙄

I hope this isn't really some CGI sizzle reel BS made just for this trailer. Lame as fuck if so.

You're advertising this to the general public.

CG is needed for that.Its all about the spectacle.

You think Uncharted games/trailers lack spectacle? Have you played one of these games? LOL

 

[KeyChainDude]

I'm fine with CG really. It's a fucking theater, if they want to make it more "cinematic" it's alright by me.

 

[jetsetnickradio]

Uh no one had any problems watching AVATAR on IMAX screens...

Avatar wasn't game graphics, though?

CG movies use a shit load of CPU power to produce virtually perfect image quality. You're going to have all sorts of aliasing and artifacting with game graphics...

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Uncharted 4 is going to be massive isn't it.

Bigger

Seems pretty massive

 

[ForsakenLotus]

I think Microsoft is the only one to pull that off (and only with Halo). Every other viral/ARG-type marketing campaign I've seen for video games has been subpar, in my opinion of course.

The Last of Us. Started with a single picture, moved on to animal kingdom documentary clips. It was a pretty big deal before we knew the type of game/name of the game, let alone before it was even announced as a Naughty Dog game.

No trailer here in UK cinema's. Amazing film though! Hope someone YT's it!

Man I feel bad for all that sand.

Drake and Anakin have something in common, who knew.

Well it is coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere

 

[Game4life]

This better not be an in game trailer. I am on a media blackout and seeing TFA this weekend. I cannot be expected to get out of the theater and come back in after 3 minutes just for this. Damn you ND you have shown enough I am sold lol.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Huh. I wonder if they'll show it at Pacific Theatres. Guess I'll find out on Saturday!

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Can't wait to see this trailer! I hope it will be in-game, not live action.

 

[keltickennedy]

dat blue and orange...

dat photo mode?
