Appreciate the effort but goofy faces and terrible animation kill it.
Well… Maybe not the best time for that considering Sony and Microsoft are in FIRE THIS MAN mode at the moment.NAUGHTY

What am I even supposed to say to this?
The dude made a personal project for fun or to get some experience, and in that context it looks pretty solid! Can't knock the guy for creating something, even if it is with borrowed assets or IP's.
It is impressive and I’ve dabbled with game creations myself so I absolutely understand the insane work that has been done here.He mentions in the description that it's a portfolio level design.
This is impressive for 1 guy. Especially when not many portfolios have an entire level in them like this.
Okay, I'm not the only one who thinks Drake seems sassy as hellNathan Gay is here
People see the name UE5 and automatically expect pre-rendered CGI-looking stuff I guess.
People are laughing here because they have 0 development experience. Is it polished? Absolutely not but, if one person did that by themselves, it's most certainly impressive. All the scripting work, level and asset creation, testing, etc. As a proof of concept, it shows that the individual has the base technical knowledge required to work with UE and be a productive member of a team.
Consumers are the ultimate testPeople are laughing here because they have 0 development experience.
If I wanted to take a week to rip off assets I would'easy'. Go make one yourself and post it here. we'll wait
People are laughing here because shit posting is fucking awesome. This looks like Uncharted if ND had an autism screen filter you could unlock. Kek bros, pepe.gif, m I rite

But I just don’t understand why someone this skilled isn’t just making something unique instead where people won’t instantly start focusing on every little thing that isn’t like the original.
Its good for resume, shows potential employer what he is capable of alone even if its with asset flips.Impressive.
But if you’re skilled enough make something like this, why not make your own thing?
I don’t understand what’s the goal. Can’t sell it, won’t look as good, in isolation it’s fantastic, in comparison with the real thing it looks terrible because then you instantly see every little detail where it’s not spot on.
I totally get that he gets more attention. But if it wasn’t Nathan and if the source work wasn’t best animation in the industry then people would go ”Wow omg you made that yourself?!” instead of ”Nathan’s face looks weird and look at his spagetti arms lol”.5K watches in 24 hours (surprised it's not more, actually,) versus 4.2k over 2 years for his next-nearest clip that was an original work.
Daniel Arriaga works at MachineGames, so he is making something for an audience elsewhere, but working on known properties lets you examine how those things work and apply lessons to your career project. Also has you engage in areas of business outside your skillset (in this case sound and character animation and things like that not connected to his Level Designer role.) These projects are also a calling card, and there's no concern back at the office about moonlighting or property theft if you work on something you have no plans on distributing. And it's just more fun sometimes making Star Wars or Uncharted instead of some generic concept you came up with (especially if graphic design or character-based storytelling is not your specialty but you get enough of it to get started from the root works.)

Tribute experiments are not completely unknown in graphic design or cartooning or audio or music or short films; putting the effort into doing something big like this for no reason other than to say you did it is more rare.
I didn't even notice they gave him the low testoterone "all trunk no branch" body typeNathan really let himself go. Man boobs and the biceps are gone. That’s middle age for you.
Nicely done, but... sigh... it's the collection of tiresome elements that nowadays populate action adventure games.
A brave reboot/alternative like GOW2018 would be very much welcomed in this space.Naughty Dog had an extremely limited bag of tricks, each of which they reused 10,000 times during the 4 Uncharted games.
Do people want to watch retirement age Nathan Drake ‘almost’ fall off a crumbling handheld as he says “no, no, no” again? For the 325th time?
Do people really not get tired of this shit? Totally scripted, predictable and shallow.
It’s genuinely hilarious to me that anyone would find this gameplay interesting or exciting.
As for the whole overall approach, vibe, spectacle etc - do you really want to do this shit all over again?
Ooh, stuff is happening in the background! Things are exploding! I’ll be talking about this amazing gameplay for years to come.
Ultra basic platforming, ultra basic stealth, basic shooting, bazillions of scripted events, slow walk-and-talks, the same old tired cliches, staring at assets (“vistas, so many vistas”) explosions, quips, gameplay as deep as a puddle.
Exciting things are happening around the player! Except not really. It’s just like a movie! Yeah, why not just make a movie then?
Big yawn to this tedious shit.
Guys this is crazy but there was a thing that Nathan was going to use to climb across and then the thing fell down and he quipped that he would need to find another way across! Wow, funny AND original!
I congratulate the creator on showing up how laughably basic the Uncharted games are, mostly relying on empty spectacle (money burning on screen), because obviously the comments on this video are people clapping like seals for this slop which just demonstrates that Uncharted 5 could come and be exactly like this (only with better graphics) and be applauded as some kind of masterpiece.
Sorry to hear that's what you took away from the video. You could just ignore the thread and move onto something else, right?
Attention. He might possibly get a job of of thisLooks crapy, I dont know why people do this.
