So glad they're finally focusing on Chloe. I think I'm more interested in her story after this one article than I ever was in Elena's after 4 games (such a boring character imo).

It's a fair point, and something I think we can expect ND address in this game.
We didn't see much of what Chloe was doing for Lazarevic in Nepal in UC2. Perhaps she was their guide on Hindu lore and/or guide throughout Nepal? Can't think of too many other reasons why they needed her specifically.

I hope this comes out soon as I cannot wait to play it
I'm a bit worried about this emphasis on open world and grounded being mentioned. However, I'm still buying it regardless, ND has earned the right to make whatever they feel is right and I'm always going to support them with my wallet.
I think they could have made Nadine playable so she can be the brawn and chloe can be the brain instead of limiting her combat potential. They can make chloe sneaky and stealthy, crafty and nimble so she does the puzzles, climbing, findings and stealth take downs while Nadine should be pure combat since she's actually very capable in that aspect

Retcon seems to be an ill-defined term. I don't see how it's retconning when they are exploring Chloe's backstory in a relevant setting. All that we really know about Chloe from the games is that she's a treasure hunter with a previous relationship with Drake and an Australian accent.
It was planned to be one. Now it is a standalone story expansion.

I like Chloe, but I can see why not everybody likes her. Nadine on the other hand, I have no idea how anybody likes her after UC4. She wasn't interesting at all, and was basically an asshole (and not in the entertaining way). Seeing her as a co-protagonist of sorts here is weird; but I'll give the benefit of the doubt. I'm hoping they don't completely ignore the history (e.g. Chloe likes Nate, Nadine tried to have him killed repeatedly); not that the game has to FOCUS on Nate in any major way (actually it shouldn't) but I'd like to see that aspect at least addressed.

Haha yeah, crates in UC4 got absurd at some point.

Nope. I'm a huge Uncharted fan, but 4 disappointed me with how grounded, serious, and lacking in gunfights and set pieces it was. This looks to be even worse.
P.S. I hate puzzles.
Would appreciate it if a brave soul summarizes the video with a few bullet points. Thanks in advance.
I don't think it's going to be full-length. It's been said to "fall between" Left Behind and Uncharted 4, which doesn't really offer much in the way of insight as the former is literally movie-length at ~2.5 hours while the latter is a massive ~15-hour adventure. I'm expecting around six hours -- much meatier than Left Behind but somewhat shorter than Drake's Fortune.

I like these guys. It doesn't seem there going to screw up what's been going good the last two games.
Grounded Cinematic Adventures. I feel all warm inside.
Yeah I was excited for this when it first announced 'cause I've always wanted Chloe to headline a game. But after Uncharted 4 and what seems to be Naughty Dog's new direction with the series I'm pretty lukewarm on this to be honest. Maybe when more concrete details of actual gameplay emerge I'll be onboard again but a whole lot of talk about story and puzzles doesn't sound too promising to me.
I know the game has been out a while now but isn't this a bit spoilery?

Sounds great to me. Hope it is good 6 to 8 hours long. Day One like everything ND makes.

Kinda disappointed that they're straying from the assumption that Chloe's Australian. I mean, the voice actor is, so I just made that leap. Liked having some representation of Aussies for a change but I'm willing to share Chloe's heritage with our Indian friends

I just hope it's not like UC4.

Not really spoilers: Just talking about when this game takes place
This only takes place 6 months after Uncharted 4, that was probably just a hint at this DLC before it was annouced

Sounds awesome! Is this coming out sometime this year?
That's the plan!
Yeah my bad, I tagged it.

You want the game to be bad?
No, we want it to be good, which is why we hope it's not like UC4.
Uncharted 2-esque adventure feat. Chloe best girl pls
Also if u wanted to make her and Nadine lesbians i wouldn't say no ND
Sounds pretty awesome.
My only slight, slight, slight concern is "more grounded." Like.... Uncharted 4 was plenty grounded for me. I loved it, but again, it was plenty grounded. High adventure is as big a part of the series DNA as the subtle, character driven moments. Hope they can keep the balance well.

I'm already in day 1 with my digital deluxe buy but this new info drop is sounding great.
The chemistry between Nadine and Chloe will hopefully be hilarious and a new dynamic for UC.
Also nice to see them reduce the crate puzzles
Now I hope ND make this a long ass stand alone experience, I'm talking 6-8 hours here!
I also think a few more "explosive" set pieces than UC4 would be nice, but probably too expensive haha.

Not sure if going more open-world is a good thing. I thought the levels/chapters in U4 were just good enough.
Good to hear that ND scrapped the Sam & Sully story. I love Sully, but Sam is just... ugh, easily my least favorite part of U4. So going for Chloe is a lot better (although, I don't really like Nadine that much either, so...)

UC4 wasn't bad at all. Mechanically, it was by far the best in the series. It had pacing problems and not enough of those wonderful combat sandboxes, but it was a whole lot better than the first and third game.

I didn't care much for Nadine but she did become more human towards the end of the game and hopefully the expansion builds on that.

Yea, we wouldn't want the game to win tons of GOTY awards or anything.

It's really great to see Sony putting the creative and game directors front and center, promoting from within and trusting these young guys with arguably their biggest franchise.
I also like that they hinted at U4's pacing problems and the story getting in the way of good gameplay. This gives me hope that ND isnt just living in a bubble and will take steps to remedy the awful platforming and no gameplay chapters in Uncharted 4.
The demo was unlike anything i've seen in an Uncharted game. While there was a lot of walking, it was very tense and very cinematic. The camera work and the atmosphere was masterful. These guys know what they are doing.
Glad to hear about more complicated puzzles, more setpieces, open areas and collectibles. U4 only had a couple of big open areas to explore and only one of them had any combat. They should've had optional tombs in Madagascar with physics based puzzles like tomb raider or combat trials like Horizon. Just make them dungeons, you go in and fight a boss or something. Make collectibles mean something. I loved collecting shit in TLOU because every little scrap helped.
It definitely needs to be longer than Left Behind though. I will be happy with a 4-5 hour campaign with at least two big setpieces and some decent physics based puzzles.

Yeah, same; doesn't bother me. I too thought she looked half middle eastern. With the accent I was figuring half middle eastern, half Australian. Might be a retcon in that they didn't say from the start, "Okay, she's half Indian". But I don't think this is something major that should bother anybody.
