How's the music? Uncharted 4 was lame for me.

It can't be overstated: the visuals and presentation are incredible!
Chloe seems a bit faster than Nate. Maybe that's a false memory. I've definitely noticed some new animations, though.
That was low-key hilarious.

yeah she does that. It's the kinematics to get the animation going - hard to get a good photo of her in photomode as she's always hunched over.

drake and elena was one of the best tracks in the franchise for me. I still feel moved when I hear that song

I think for me this is the singular most affecting track in the series. There's a sadness to it that hits home

TLOU2 is gonna look insane if the parts in the apartment buildings are a preview of what's to come in that game.

Chapter 4 is goat quality.
Loving these early impressions. This is the Uncharted 4 I've always wanted:')
The Way of the Warrior though... That trophy has to be glitchy. I've run through the required chapters 3 times now meeting the requirements and still nothing. The only thing keeping me from the platinum. Very annoying knowing you did exactly what was required.
Going to try again this evening never restarting checkpoints, maybe that helps.

It's the highlight of U4 and memorable, but no where near something as fantastic as this from U2. The violin is pure beauty.

UC2's soundtrack is untouchable. The sense of adventure, grandeur, and culture is just too good. UC4 was doing a different thing, obviously, but came nowhere close for me.
I just got home and for some reason it didn't preload but I got the dynamic theme too. Just no Jak tho.
She did beat his ass multiple times in UC4.

Didn't have a button prompt appear, had to save and reload for it to pop. Get a grip Naughty Dog!
Very much enjoying it so far. The visuals in the opening were seriously amazing. And it's really cool to see ND evolve and build upon design ideas from 4. Nadine and Chloe seem like a stellar combo too his far.

So what about that Jak code? Mystery solved already?
I played about three hours of this tonight and am having a total blast. Right now I'm in Chapter 4 which is really neat and opens up the exploration options a lot. Really nails the vibe of being a treasure-hunting explorer. Some of the little additions they've made like the lockboxes and photo ops are fun. And I just completed the side quest thing which was super cool and has a pretty cool reward (to me anyway, YMMV)!
One thing that really blew me away about Uncharted 4 was the level design for the "arenas"/encounters. They've done a good job with that here too with plenty of different routes and climbing opportunities and verticality. Cool to see some of the newer multiplayer weapons from 4 pop up in the story mode here!
Mostly just delivering more of what I love from Uncharted. The game is gorgeous. Great characters and dialogue and an intriguing story. Loving it so far. Got tomorrow off and can't wait to play some more!

WOW.
I honestly feel like I was undersold on this game after the reviews and early impressions and I feel extremely ridiculous and silly for being lukewarm on this project before release.
I love Uncharted and they managed to take out the thing I love most about Uncharted (Nate and Elena) and it still totally, completely works and makes me feel a lot of the things those previous 4 games make me feel.
Claudia Black and Laura Bailey have amazing chemistry and the writing is so strong that these two formerly rather one note characters are within hours fully formed, interesting and I want to get to know them more and more after every conversation they share. There's such an authentic, warm and satisfying moment these two share after a big event that just brought a smile to my face.
I don't know how they do it but Naughty Dog is just a step above everyone else when it comes to direction and the performances they are getting out of their actors. There is a quality and realism married to their phenomenal tech that makes these people feel tangible and not a computer creation.
Chloe, so far, is nearly everything I wanted out of a modern take on Lara Croft. She could lead this franchise on her own, in this fashion and in to the future if these first 5 hours are anything to go by. Claudia Black is sublime in all ways.
It's a different Uncharted but it's Uncharted in every way and you can see how a studio recognizes its weaknesses, corrects a lot of them, and improves and elevates itself in different and new ways. I can't help but be giddy at the thought of some of the new things this game is bringing to the table and how it is a bridge of sorts for some of the things we'll likely see in The Last of Us Part 2.
Play this game. There's nothing 'B' about it. This is a fully realized and wonderful thing.

Anyway, chapter 6 is imo the most beautiful location, that I have ever explored in a video game. It really is just so beautiful, imaginative and grand, and you get to fully explore it. It isn't just a pretty background. Since that location was already shown very early on in trailers and screens, you probably won't mind some pics that I took. But you do have to experience it in the game for yourself to be really blown away, these images can't capture the feeling of looking around you and finding beauty in every single direction:
Pulp man, pulp. Don't think too much about it.
Also hot damn this game is pretty. Really liking the chapter 4 area more than the jungle in U4.

I'm sure this has been asked already, do I need to have played the whole series to appreciate this? I've only played a bit of Uncharted 1, and most of Uncharted 2.
Yeah this game is absolutely stunning. Sometimes you run through rooms with insane detail on wall carvings/murals, where you only stay for 5 seconds. The dedication of ND is remarkable.
Also, some important info gathered for trophy hunters about the finicky and vague 'Way of the Warrior' trophy.
- Update to the latest patch because there's a bug that makes a grenade close to you count as a weapon fired
- Don't touch any button related to guns, don't even mark enemies to be sure. This from the prologue to the start of ch5. You can make a manual save before the first encounter in ch3 to save time.
- Start a new game without carrying over your stats. I had to look for this on the official ND support pages: "Additionally, you have to start a New Game and opt to NOT carry stats over when prompted whenever you attempt this Trophy."
I'm going to do a 4th try after work, hopefully it finally unlocks because I never reset my stats. All the other trophies are easy but this one is hell somehow. Just because of the unclear and very specific requirements.
It's a standalone adventure like all the other Uncharteds, but it is definitely related to Uncharted 4. I would still advise you to play it because it's one of the best entries in the series, but it's loosely tied to U4 in particular.

I think an important difference for ND is that they obviously push a huge budget solely onto character work. That is:
1. Having great characters in the first place. Budgeting more than 3 characters for an entire game, often up to seven or eight. (This is often pretty much impossible on any non-AAA game unless it's a core focus or the characters are super throwaway.)
2. Making sure the animation budget is there to realise them well. (Must be millions.)
3. Writing them carefully without being afraid to iterate at the last minute (getting people in for reshoots even late in the schedule).
4. To an extent letting the entire project's design be built around these characters. (Most devs don't understand that characters push a story, not plot or lore. ND do. And on most projects, gameplay is the sole engine for the story - which is totally fair enough.)
I'd love to work on stuff like this but the fact is the money and pipeline just isn't there for 98% of devs. It's not really a problem and it'll change in the future. But when you're relegated to one or two animated characters and everything else is just offscreen voices, it gets a bit heartbreaking after a while (ಥ﹏ಥ

Preloaded just fine for me in Finland.
It's normal, not loud. But I seem to have one of the quiter Pros. Often when people say there are big noises in certain games or game sections, that doesn't really apply for my Pro. For example my Pro does not take of when I access the Horizon Zero Dawn map.
Quite for me. Runs well too, very few minor dips in framerate when there is an insane amount of high grass but it's 1% of the time and for a split second.
Jump right in. You'll appreciate it more if you've played them all but it is in no way a requirement. Besides you've played a bit of U2 and that introduces Chloe.
