I dunno if his double negative is a hint initself, or just that's the way people talk these days.

This reminds me of why I stopped playing adventure games.
Not sure I want the puzzles to punish you if failed, that would certainly kill the momentum and kill immersion if every time Drake walked on the wrong letter he died.
Many disagree with the notion, but I agree with Justin Richmond's belief that "Drake should save Elena on the first go." These things shouldn't be frustrating.

Why? Because of some cover-based shooting?
Nah, it's just that Respawn's use of Source on Xbox One has just lowered his expectations universally, sparing not even the Naughty Gods of PS4.

A very important question that no one seems to be discussing
The hints of any ARG always lead to Half-Life 3
...or the kennedy assassination
If we new what the hints were then it wouldn't be a mystery. Its certainly not something no one is discussing... its the unknown: there by unknown, and impossible to discuss. Apparently, detectiveGAF missed something.
Sorry if I teed off a little on that response.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised at an Atlantis storyline, just given the nature of the lore.
If anybody missed the scull and crossbones text, its Latin (ancient) for happening in paradise.
This hints at the Caribbean (possible Atlantis)
Does someone know what this is:
The font totally falls out of place.
It from here:
I am unsure. At first glance, I thought it was Hebrew. If I had to guess, this is an early phonetically based script.
Possibly mirror writing as well.
So the more I look at this the less I think it is actual script. Possibly mirrored code writing is my best guess at this point.
EDITx5: Its a pigpen cipher. need to sleep soon
Editx6: still gibberish after pigpen translation. Must be additional work to (not) do (go to bed).

I don't think Uncharted is the type of game you play for weeks to discover all secrets. You play the Naughty Dog Games to enjoy some action and great graphics. These are blockbuster event games you enjoy for a weekend and forget it the next day.
Except that the past four games they've put out have been incredibly memorable.

C'mon guys ND is just saying "there's always money in the banana stand" wink wink
Oh! Looking forward to the translation!

JMPaul isn't laughing so don't worryDemonNite and GopherD must be laughing their asses off.
Using this image of the Pigpen cipher:
From original Screen
VEVEJPK VKN
From the cropped and rotated:
NQS QLRESES
on the chance it's mirrored, it could be:
KRLEVEV NKV
or
SQN SESEPJQ
respectively.
It's most likely the first set, because that other thing is probably a period.
The cipher is sometimes called the mason cipher/rosicrucian cipher i think the rosicrucian bit might be significant, considering what is written around the skull and crossbones.

Awesome job!
I've been thinking for the last 10 minutes but I haven't been able to figure out what that's supposed to mean. Any luck?

This might just be random but it gives
Memento Mori if you consider the ',' as an 'i' with this image
Nice. I just saw that too.
Read about it too. Talks about finality of death. Lots of skulls in paintings.
Yours makes more sense than the one I picked out. I figured they might try a modified cipher. I see what you mean about the I. Maybe it was an unfinished character, since it likely is not a comma, and is too long for a period. You winThis might just be random but it gives
Memento Mori if you consider the ',' as an 'i' with this image
Edit : it's apparently just old news since it's been deciphered long ago.
Yeah.. I just rewatched the teaser video and the screenshot was taken before the 'i' was done appearing on the map.

Yeah and I want them to talk about this as well:

Surely early 2014 refers to the first 3 months of the year right?

Figured what out? Someone posted random videos from Vimeo.
The Memento Mori cypher seems more interesting.
oh, huh, that newspaper is clearly based on the guardian
never noticed that before!
what if all the other fake leaks tried to mask the real leak amongst them all?
I think Uncharted's puzzles are the definition of frustrating, they take no thought or skill, but they do take time.
The name is presumably taken from The Observer.
They're seamless, you get in there and get the job done. Nothing kills and the pace and you go through the process of finishing said puzzles. A level of portal depth to the puzzles would likely change the overall experience. I dont want to accidentally mess up a puzzle and see Drake die ten times over as I am trying to work the thing out.
And they're terrible. Job is an apt term actually, it's like a monotonous job, it takes no skill, no intelligence, but practical application.
Yes, it would.
I didn't mean you should be in peril, I was pointing out why I don't see it as anything like Indiana Jones. I like puzzles to not punish experimentation, but I also like them to require it.
I should say, even though I think UC3 is a bad game, and TLoU is all time top five material, the puzzle design in TLoU is truly awful too, maybe even worse actually, because they pretend to have logical/practical requirements.
instead you want to see it and solve it without thinking the first time, thus it's not a puzzle, it's just a time waster to give you the illusion that you're doing something other than shooting up dudes in the game.
Man, this one is EVIL

Recently, I've decided I want Uncharted 4 to be set in Carcosa.
Lord Error

I see that you omitted it from your list so maybe you didn't play it, but UC3 had good puzzles. As good as anything good from GoW series anyway, which is about as good as things get on that front in action/adventure games. The kind of puzzles in UC3 must have taken a lot of effort to program too, as opposed to non-puzzles in the two games prior.
