They're probably saving giraffes for later in the game.
This made me grimace. I really didn't like all the allusions to MGSV in that article.

Hey...come on, give vegetation some credit. It is the basis of terrestrial life and life itself.
Anyway, yeah, could be more birds and mammals. Madagascar is supposed to have incredible biodiversity, although I have never been there. Their vision of the savannah seems very vibrant overall though. Madagascar is a country undergoing environmental trauma though...
They probably expect herds of animals, it might be problematic to put them in though, people will probably try to run them over, maybe they can put some in the distance or in not so reachable places.

They know we'll going to snipe them from distant anyways.

I think the comparions refer to more open ended gameplay, which is welcomed. That was never Metal Gear's problem, in fact I'd say it has the best blend of action and stealth in an open world (which UC is not) I've ever seen.
?????
OK so here they are, wonder what they do to prevent you from killing them, maybe they run away before you can close your distance.
they probably will run away. the hunt is pretty active in africa

Invincible I guess.

The one thing I immediately took away from that footage was the foliage. Holy shit it looks good.
I gathered, haha.
Yeah, that's fair. I think you're right. The writer just went a bit overboard.

This is simply amazing omg
The way you can roam around the map. Exiting your vehicle and giving you the option to explore... wasn't expecting that.

not impressed with the footage, i mean it looks amazing but the rest is nothing interesting.
I think we'll be able to kill them. Would go against the game's design to hold you back from that.
The ramifications will probably be ambient dialogue. "What the hell, Nate," and such.
More and more of it until you've killed all the animals and they're like "Well done."
Cross-posting from the other thread, here's the link for the 1080p 60 fps Youtube Version of the Gameplay https://mega.nz/#!axt3lYBS

I just woke up and the video is already private 
Driving through a huge empty environment, different stages of AI behavior , binoculars, marking, sandbox levels. There is a lot of MGSV in uncharted 4. I wouldn't be surprised if every review/preview mentions MGSV

Don't worry, There will still be highly cinematic (and scripted) set pieces.
As far as we know, only 1-2 'stages' will be like this. We know there is a jungle island like the first game, and Scotland which will be more like Tibet from UC2.
Don't worry it's not like all of the game will be driving around, I think it can be cool to break the pacing a little with exploration.

Eh? No it wouldn't. Though that last sentence looks like a joke, so maybe my sarcasm detector is broken.
? Why is it so game ruining for you?

I hope they 'moo'* when you shoot them at least, as is traditional.
* Yes, even the giraffes.
Uncharted was in desperate need of some serious exploration to break up the endless combat enounters and this looks like just that.
You also get a good amount of dialogue and character moments which should help push the storytelling.

Graphics are amazing actual gameplay looks mediocre, they haven't convinced me yet that this is anything more than a by the numbers Uncharted game i already played 3 times.
Have to admit, this is the most out of sync post I read here in a while, people are starting to feel concerned about the changes being TOO extreme, about the game feeling like MGS5 more than Uncharted, fearing about the environments being too big etc... and you say you played it 3 times!? are you for real man?
It's probably the biggest change we've seen from the series, it's like watching a gameplay video of MGS5 and complain about it being similar to previous games, can't really understand if we are watching the same thing.

Did you play the multiplayer beta? If you had, you'd probably think differently. The game feels amazing to control, and the rope mechanic actually adds quite a bit to the combat.
Don't you wanna visit Madagascar? Or do you need more urban environments? Cause you know this is a globetrotting adventure.
As for that other comment saying it's 'more of the same, old Uncharted'... okay, what is the top of the crop 3rd person shooter out there, gameplay wise? TPP, TLOU... maybe Rise to a lesser extent. Can't even think of anything else.
So how is this old when everything about it feels more natural and realistic, a free-form gunplay.
Yup, multiplayer convinced me. So intuitive. It's basically pick up and play and animations are sick.
If he can drop some hot dubstep remixes in instant five outta five.

How 'spoilery' is that gameplay? Really tempted to watch it.

Just driving around and exploring with small firefight at the end.
If you watched trailers you know the location already.
Its almost like free roam in MGSV.
You're trying too hard lol.
By the numbers Uncharted game when the vast majority of the gameplay shown is stuff you can't even do in any of the Uncharted games lol. Ok.
Personally i think it just spoils the current location. Even the dialog doesn't say too much.
Maybe, just maybe, there's a dialog between Sam and Sully that spoils the other locations where you might be going:
Brazil/South American countries and England

This game is what MGSV should've been.
Linear with large open spaces.
