Guy edits Uncharted series into movies

Really clever idea. I wish this was out before U2/U3 so I could get a refresher. I wonder how well the U3 "plot" holds up.

What happens if you do this for MSG4?

People uploaded Asura's Wrath, the complete game, which is basically a somewhat interactive anime.

There is also a Mass Effect movie..

Genre - sci fi
IMDb Link - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073668/
Size - 8.28 gb
Length - 06:17:21 (there is 6 parts hour a piece)

Plot: In a future time, you play an emotionally scarred soldier who must stop a plot to exterminate humanity throughout the galaxy
Description: i recorded the full Mass Effect video game and made it into a movie. there is no game-play only the story. i made decisions in the game that will give the viewer the most story possible. i watched it today and it came out seamless and the viewer will not be lose at any point in the story. the Mass Effect story is very complex and any sci fi fan will enjoy this. i made this for people who don't like video games but are interested in the Mass Effect story. i hope everyone enjoys it

all these "movies" have shown me was that the story of Uncharted is actually pretty boring.

edit: boring is a bad word, bland is more like it.

Uncharted has pretty good gameplay, there are a lot of games you could edit into movies which make more sense (Heavy Rain, I'm looking at you).

What, you don't like Romancing the Stone?

haha @ the people who lack the self-control to ignore Wario's posts if they don't like them.

Uncharted games aren't very good movies so I don't think this guy had the best idea, but I am surprised it took someone this long considering their clear "cinematic aspirations."

Have ND ever given props to that movie as Uncharted is pretty much the game version of it.
I'm sure some of the superfans will arrive shortly to deny the motion that Uncharted was inspired by anything but pulp adventure novels of the 30s. Because being inspired by something like a cheesy 80's action movie diminishes the series, you know.

I've read Souls superfans denying the Berserk influence on the series and it's just embarrassing.
 
I watched the U2 one from where I left off to the end... I really really appreciate how well put together these campaigns are. I just wish the gameplay could keep up with the writing and that the writing could keep up with the tech.

Interesting. Shows the challenge all narrative games face - the gameplay gets in the way of the narrative for the most part.

Pity - 'cause right now I primarily like narrative or theme driven games vs pure games.

Came to see how much this played out like Shenmue the Movie, stayed for the Wario 64 talk.

Personally, he always makes me laugh. I especially like looking at his avatar AFTER reading certain comments. It always seals the deal.

Skipped through the Uncharted 1 video a bit, but honestly it doesn't seem all that impressive. All of the gameplay sequences are pretty badly edited together. It doesn't feel any different from watching a lets play and then randomly skipping ahead every few seconds during gameplay.

The Existence disc in MGS3: Subsistence did something similar, but with better editing of the gameplay sections. Although even then I found it pretty boring to watch and the order in which scenes played out was rearranged quite a bit, which didn't always work out well. I also seem to remember the video quality being terrible.

Ha, I have a friend who genuinely wanted exactly this. He started playing Uncharted 3 on my PS3, but then went off to school elsewhere. He won't have a chance to play the game for himself now, so he just wanted to see the story unfold.

I linked him the video and he was pleased!

Thanking you on his behalf :)

You forgotten this spinoff movie. Drake's devotion.

That was pretty awesome, the only thing I would change is the guys voice.

Too much Wario hate on GAF lately.

This is what happens when a forum has some users with big personalities that are well known by the community, especially those that are on the more negative/sarcastic side of posting, there will always be some sort of backlash.
