All the games do that to some extent, guaranteed. UC3 just didn't do a good job of hiding it. The ship sequence being basically a sidequest with no bearing on the overall plot was especially disappointing.

...except Uncharted 2 was also based around some of the set-pieces i.e. the train. The only way they could get some of the set pieces running in time for the game to ship was to start working on them before the story was even written. It's not necessarily a bad way to write even, as sometimes having stipulations can make the writer come with innovative or interesting solutions to work them in. As you can see it was very organic in 2, but it didn't feel as tight in 3. I think that may have been more because of time restraints than the process itself however, as a lot of secondary characters and the pacing of the story itself felt very clipped in the last third.
Uncharted 2 was made around set pieces as well. It was just better designed.

If you're implying what I think you are...
gt sport, if i understand it, is just gran turismo 7 prologue, although it is more than just a prologue
ah, and so it was june. i don't know why it feels like i saw the Uc4 trailer back in april/may
that's a new IP, and of course while they'll be promoting the hell out of it if it is a big hit it'll be their next big thing, but i mean with the way things are now, Uc4 is huge because it became a huge franchise.

Of course all linear games are like that, it's just that the way it was handled in Uncharted 3 was so glaring and inferior in comparison.

Pretty much every single action game starts with "wouldn't it be cool if *this idea here* was a video game!?" and then everything is built around it, including the narrative context.

Meh, tropes are fine if the acting is good. Everything original isn't fantastic because it's original, people have been trying to be creative since forever, it's bound to be some overlap in ideas. And there was nothing trope about TLOU ending, which is important because it has a lasting impact on the entire story.

Why are you saying "of course" lol, in your post you said the set pieces in Uncharted 2 were based around the story and not the other way around

Are we sure we will get more trailers like this one before release ( I know we will get a launch trailer that will be very short like every launch trailer since launch trailers are meant to be short TV Ads)?

You shouldn't expect another trailer of this length from the game. Neil said that we're going to start getting screenshots and behind the scenes videos on a regular basis from here on out. There will likely be a launch trailer and a commercial that's probably made from that trailer. But that's it.

I'm not one to re-watch trailers but I have seen this one about 10 times already.

i think the general public and both hardcore and casual gamers and all potential consumers overall have seen enough of this game to draw an interest to it.

Looks nice. Should be a fun weekend thrill ride!
Hell yeah, it's not only the out-of-this-world graphical level they achieved (i mean seriously what sort of voodoo magic they did to get this), but also the set pieces snippets and the cutscenes seems to be masterfully directed, and generally the whole trailer is well cut.
Great, great trailer, hype is now at 10.

dropping the framerate from 60 to 30, and the rest is just them being wizards. don't forget that the target was 1080p/60fps and they literally said it was "really fucking hard".

We'll probably get a launch trailer and that might be it trailer wise, rest of the pre release stuff will be screenshots and behind the scenes!
Also there will no doubt be TV Spots for this game.

As someone who voted for Undertale as my GOTY, the idea that its writing is inherently better because of how it uniquely applies to videogames will never not infuriate me. You are out of your mind.
And lol @ tropes. Everything has tropes.

this story trailer could work as the launch traler imo. it's exactly 2 months away.
A launch trailer has to work as a TV Spot. A story trailer doesn't sell it to casual fans.
There'll be a launch trailer in about month or a little more where we'll see a combination of all the action sequences we've seen so far and a little less cutscene. Probably about 40 seconds.
It is probably going to have some sort of launch trailer, but I think it will be mostly old footage.

I have we can get a co-op trailer too. I'm very curious to see how the co-op mode looks like.
I have so many fond memories of Uncharted 2's COOP mode... damn, what a great game.

That was such a great mode, and how they approached it.
I am definitely curious as to how it is implemented in UC4.

Uncharted 2 is one of my favorite co-op games ever. Hope co-op in Uncharted 4 will be great too.

One of the best co-op games ever.
The Artisan

what do you think the casual fans want? usually i hear people saying all they play is multiplayer but that was the case made for sf5 where it's the casuals who care more about the story
that's fine.
coop is what I played most in the Uc2 multiplayer.
I would really fucking love it if they added splitscreen coop to this game though
That games screams to me "Sony's next big delay"

CO-OP? I didn't know Uncharted 4 will have co-op. iT must be surely justy stand alone online missions only and not for the main game. If only the story mode had co-op mode like with RE5 or at least when a NPC accompany and helps Nathan like Sully or Sam, we can plug another controller and control the NPC at that section just like in DMC3 when fighting Arkham we can plug a second DS2 controller on PS2 and control Vergil next to Dante. This would be Epic.

do guerilla games have a history of delaying though?

Thanks. Saved.
Which screen are you talking about btw? (maybe the gelled hairs above his forehead dom but not the hair from his side burns?) That would be a reasonable guess.
I mean, if I was more thorough I would be updating this thread more often. Anything you don't understand.. just ask there!

Agreed. If a good story means most interesting delivery then enjoy that race to the bottom.
