Previews/Impressions

Options you set will also apply to all 3 games if you want them to, and they've added options for Motion Blur for both objects and the camera if you so choose. Support for full 7.1 surround sound is available in all 3, and as expected there are plenty of ways to tweak the audio experience. Those soundtracks have never sounded so good!

The one thing that we worried about though, were the controls in Drake's Fortune. I'm happy to say that they've made it feel like 2 & 3 now. You're still limited to Drake's move set (for example, you can't do a quick throw of a grenade, which was an added feature in 2) but that stiffness you feel when you back and play on the PS3 version is completely gone now.

So, how does it look? We've played the opening four or so chapters of all three of the titles in the package, and the visuals are much as you remember them. Of course, rose-tinted glasses can do funny things, and 'remember' is the operative word here. The presentation is actually extraordinary: upgraded character models, buffed up textures, and enhanced lighting pair with a crystal clear 1080p resolution and silky smooth 60 frames-per-second performance. It's the Uncharted that you remember – polished to a mirror-like sheen.

We should stress that you can toggle between all three games using a new option on each title's main menu, and the loading is practically non-existent when you switch. Bluepoint Games – the team behind the brilliant God of War and Shadow of the Colossus remasters – has been tasked with converting the titles to the PS4, and it's clear that it's been given ample budget to do the job properly. Even taking into account the absence of multiplayer, the whole package reeks of quality – and we've been asked not to discuss some of the very welcome extras at this time.

As you'd expect, the third game is definitely the best presented of the three, with some sequences indistinguishable from a native new-gen release. You'll be able to capture all of these moments on camera using the new photo mode, which we assume that we're not breaking our embargo terms by mentioning. This allows you to frame the action in any way that you see fit, while you can add post-processing effects for that extra bit of pretty if you wish. Every image that you see in this article was captured in-game using the handy tool.

Gawdamn

 

[Plumpman]

Pure Glory.

 

[Loudninja]

I change the title did not want to spoil stuff for newcomers.

 

[Yoshichan]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

 

[Acquiescence]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

I think that's a ridiculous assertion to make.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

Nope-just for Eddy Raja.

 

[stryke]

Meh, Sony's already shown that part of the remaster before.

Here's the train section (video is still processing)

[BFIB]

I've never been able to play like that. Usually its "unload a clip, then hide" due to bullet sponges.

 

[demosthenes]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

All 3 games are gems.

 

[AmyS]

This will be my introduction to Uncharted.

 

[leng jai]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

Doubt it, UC2 was the best game but playing all 3 in succession is still very much worthwhile. I'm excited to play the first again since the PS3 version has atrocious screen tearing.

 

[farisr]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

Maybe. I'm excited to play all 3 and am actually looking forward to the 1st more than the others as it stands to benefit the most by the upgrades imo.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I've never been able to play like that. Usually its "unload a clip, then hide" due to bullet sponges.

Looks like the they fixed the bullet sponge i think

 

[BouncyFrag]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

I'd be happy just to buy UC2.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I change the title did not want to spoil stuff for newcomers.

But now they have no way of knowing it's footage of a major setpiece.

I've never been able to play like that. Usually its "unload a clip, then hide" due to bullet sponges.

A whole clip for one guy? I hope not.

It's a cover shooter. You're supposed to shoot and then hide and then shoot.

 

[Loudninja]

But now they have no way of knowing it's footage of a major setpiece.

You are right I just added a warning.

 

[Servbot24]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

3 is a fantastic game. Just a victim of not-quite-as-good-as-the-classic-predecessor-therefore-it's-shit syndrome.

 

[Revven]

They already confirmed they adjusted damage values across all three games. If you still can't down people reasonably then it's your aim and the weapon you're using.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

I bet it's gonna be hard and strange to go back to 30fps next year with U4 though, but that's just how it is. Same for Dark Souls 3, going from 60fps in SotFS to 30 in DS3, while graphically so far DS3 doesn't even seem to be a huge improvement.

 

[4jjiyoon]

there are a bunch of people playing it on twitch right now.

[jayu26]

Is he playing on easy?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

Ha what? I'm getting it for all three baby. Its like saying people bought the MCC collection only for Halo 3.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Is he playing on easy?

I hope so. Those enemies went down too fast.

 

[nuclearaddict]

Looks great. Excited to try out 1 & 2. I bought a PS3 very, very late in the gen, so I had a lot of games to catch up on, but unfortunately I never got around to 1 & 2. 3 was a lot of fun, but according to everyone the second one blows them all away.

 

[ViciousDS]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

fuck that.....I loved all 3

 

[Revven]

Is he playing on easy?

Could also be Normal. They said they adjusted the damage values across all three games so it's entirely possible shotguns from mid-range actually OHKO non-armor enemies.

Normal really isn't all that different from Easy other than the damage Nate takes.

Edit: OK the video creator posted below and said it was on Easy lol. People can relax.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Maaaaaaaan, I wasnt going to buy this at launch. But this is to freaking amazing

 

[zsynqx]

Wasn't sure where to post this but I thought you guys would be interested. Druckmann recently spoke to OPM and explained the philosophies behind Uncharted 4's set piece design.

"I guess our approach in the past has been go bigger" says Druckmann talking about uncharted 3. "But we felt with this one we felt like if we went any bigger, it would become comical; we would become a parody of ourselves. So it became really about how do we make them unique? How do we make them more playable?"

The part in bold makes me really excited. Similarly he talks about left behind and how those intimate set pieces such as the photobooth scene are just as exciting to him as the bombast and how there will be more room to breath between combat citing the Tenzin village in Uncharted 2 as well as left behind.

 

[jayu26]

I hope so. Those enemies went down too fast.

It's not even that. He didn't die too for playing recklessly. Don't get me wrong, Uncharted is more fun when played little bit recklessly, but he should have been at least in the danger to dying a few times.

Could also be Normal. They said they adjusted the damage values across all three games so it's entirely possible shotguns from mid-range actually OHKO non-armor enemies.

Normal really isn't all that different from Easy other than the damage Nate takes.

Yeah, it's the damage Nate was taking that made me think this was on easy.

 

[KennyLinder]

Looks so good. I think it's incredibly short sighted (and a great shame) that Uncharted 4 is 30fps.

 

[Babylonian]

Is he playing on easy?

Yup! I had about one day to turn these videos around to hit today's embargo, so I played on the easiest possible difficulty.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Looks good, but the generational gap is so noticeable now. It makes my head spin thinking back on people that thought Uncharted 4 footage barely looked better than the PS3 games.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Got damn I can't wait to play these again. They did this collection right.

Looks so good. I think it's incredibly short sighted (and a great shame) that Uncharted 4 is 30fps.

As much as I love 60 fps I'll take the max eye candy I can get.

 

[AmyS]

Less than 2 weeks

 

[jayu26]

Yup! I had about one day to turn these videos around to hit today's embargo, so I played on the easiest possible difficulty.

Thanks for clarification dude.

 

[Loudninja]

Thanks for the vids!

 

[naib]

UC2 is the last game I've actually finished.

That train section always reminds me of the awe I felt playing Crash Bandicoot for the first time.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Thanks for the vids!

You should mention they were played on easy in the OP to prevent people from concern posting.

 

[bananafactory]

If you have yet to play these do yourself a favour and don't spoil the set pieces

Game is only 2 weeks away, you can do it!

You should mention they were played on easy in the OP to prevent people from concern posting.

It's sad this even needs to be mentioned

 

[family_guy]

I bet most people are buying the collection only for UC2.

And 1. Heck I'd trade 3 for the Uncharted Vita version remastered.

 

[Loudninja]

You should mention they were played on easy in the OP to prevent people from concern posting.

Already ahead of you.

 

[CHC]

Goddamn that 60FPS really makes this look incredible. YouTube quality really does no favors in terms of distinguishing from PS3 graphics... haha looks about how I remember it. I'm sure it'll be much more impressive running natively.

 

[Endless]

Another video from PC Games (Germany) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL0N96btchk

 

[Brandon F]

It does look really silly how invincible Drake is.

 

[AmyS]

Just be thankful YouTube even does 60FPS

 

[Guymelef]

Reviews embargo ends September 30th apparently.

 

[Loudninja]

Whoa UC1 looks good its like it haven't age lol.

 

[aussiedude08]

Man i cant wait to replay them. Now on ps4. Excited about seeing how they look now. The first video the building collapse is going to be the end of the demo that comes out next week right?

I hope i can still platinum all 3. Are the trophy lists out yet?

 

[zsynqx]

Reviews embargo ends September 30th apparently.

I have a feeling this won't review as well as TLOU remastered as the quality is less consistent across the trilogy. Should still hover around 90 meta though
