It looks almost exactly the same as TLoU minus the aspect ratio.
Given the 'swing' when turning, I'd say it controls much more like TLoU too.

No it's not. They made it clear this is going to be a story heavy cinematic game. You can't do that very well with another person getting in the way constantly.

my jaw just fell to the ground....amazing to say the least. this what real GPGPU is about, i can't wait for racing games to utilize this feature.
I had the same thought, seems like at least a different take on usual QTE, with options.

I think it's a Sep/Oct/Nov release for next year.

So much of this stuff seems worthless given that we haven't seen gameplay. If I'd seen that, maybe dust particles refracting light from an oil lamp might excite me.

Perhaps. I'm thinking closer to August/September.
I'm sure they'll have Naughty Dog's PS4 title and other first party titles for Oct/Nov/Dec.
About the trailer: "While the cinematic style and panning camera offer a more dramatic presentation, it's the only part of the video that steps away from what players can expect from the graphics. To back up it's claims, Ready At Dawn showed us the trailer scene again, dynamically altering the light sources on the fly and rotating the camera to new angles on the 3D models." So the trailer was real-time.
I guess my question now is what is Sony's big Spring/Summer title going to be? Assuming that Infamous releases in February.

Nice! That is pretty amazing. I'm really looking forward to reading about it!
The same argument was made over and over again for cropping 16:9 material to fit 4:3 displays. It wasn't a great idea then, and it isn't a great idea now. You pick an aspect ratio for a reason and stick with it throughout the project. In this case I'd imagine the wide field of view was considered highly desirable, and they'd be fools to change it so far into production. Yes, it's a trade-off and they were doubtless well aware of that fact going in.
So you can get used to it, pick up a 25:9 display, use one of horrific zoom modes your television doubtless supports, or miss out on a unique experience.
Ditto.

Awesome! Hopefully this quiets down the doubters.
I really love the atmosphere of this game.
My head is seriously going to explode.
There is nothing to suggest this game has a wider FoV than is typical. It looks smaller than TLoU even.

Disagree there. I actually think it will be an October release. If Sony want an established IP they are better off releasing it in the winter months to capture more sales. Even if it does launch within a month of UC4

Those people who say it's crying out for co-op, could you post the gameplay video you have so that I can judge for myself. Thanks

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Why?
No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
It's not a big deal. Think of the environmental interaction in Sleeping Dogs. Those were pared down QTEs and god damn awesome. Finishers are alright too, as long as they aren't overdone. No need to be so reactionary before we see anything.
And getting higher FOV cost almost nothing in terms of performance.
A couple of neat tidbits about the lens simulation: "Stand with a tall pillar at the far right or left of the screen, and you'll see a barely perceptible bending of the straight vertical shape, echoing the bowing at the outside of a camera lens." "Rotate the camera from the view of a distant doorway to a nearby human face, and the door shifts slightly out of focus, centering your attention on the object with which you're interacting."
So, yet another game experienced through a camera lens?
To be fair, it makes more sense in the context of a third person game, then it does a first person game like battlefield.

The way they talk about them in the article make it sound like they won't be all that often really. Only on occasion and with certain enemies. Most of the gameplay will be third person shooting obviously.

Why does every third person shooter get compared to Gears and Uncharted?
This looks different enough, I dig the art style.

Really? I actually thought it would, as you'd inherently have more assets on screen at any given time. I've never tried it though.
Regardless, FoV should be relative to the position of the viewer, and the distance/size of the screen, which is why PC FoV's should be much higher. So it actually shouldn't matter at all what the aspect ratio is.
Mother of God...
So hyped for this. Could be PS4's killer app if they play their cards right.
That's not true, and is highly variable game to game, depending on many factors. Amount on screen, draw distance, graphical fidelity and all the rest. Impacts to performance can range from negligible to noticeable.
That test is not conclusive of anything. You need to test more scenes and more games, especially areas that are a lot more intensive with more going on, maybe even more characters on screen during gun fights etc as well. There's hardly anything going on in the scene you've compared.

Actually I think that isn't a good idea either.
If they want to establish a new IP like The Order they need to make sure it has enough space, putting a huge seller like Uncharted so close would harm it.
I don't know which is further in development, but release either UC4 or the Order in 2015, I'd say go for UC4 in 2014, cause it is a huge seller, may even shift more PS4 unites, so by the time The Order release in 2015, it will have even bigger audience.
Yet I am excited for The Order and don't want it delayed so much.
I already said why. Another person is there getting in your way and chatting in your ear the whole time. Anything with depth or a story is better off being played alone.
