Begins with an S. Well technically The S....
Yes, but Uncharted 4 becomes a better game because of that and we won't have another Uncharted 3 scenario.
Just a heads up for people assuming it will be s multidisc collection. 2 things to remember
Are you serious? No that makes no sense whatsoever. Cynic is not appropriate label here at all.
- It will likely only include 1 multiplayer campaign (if any) thus the size of the game (either 2 or 3) without the multiplayer would be significantly diminished
- It was said a while back that support for 100gb BluRay discs would be possible with a firmware upgrade on PS4

I want it, but stupid title. Feels too... "Me too." Uncharted Rediscovered or something to fit the theme.
If you think Sony would push back UC4 for a bunch of remasters, then your not so much a cynic as you are delusional/naïve.
The answer to which games are included can be seen in the image.

That's why it's not the Master Thief Collection. Sly gets shit done.
I have a feeling that an Uncharted Collection pre-release + a mid-year Uncharted 4 release (The Last of Us sold fine) would make more money than an Uncharted Collection post-release + a holiday season Uncharted 4 release.
I think releasing Uncharted 4 first limits the sales potential of the collection.

Dude.....
If they have the testicular fortitude to actually change main characters after next game (A Thief's End), then it's the perfect name for this collection.
I'll miss you, buddy. You deserve your rest :')
You deserve your happiness (with Elena, Drake. Choose wisely).
are we actually discussing that? it's not like MS were very creative with the name to begin with and had some kind of trademark on naming a game collection after the protagonist.
besides that, i'm sure MS wasn't the first one to name a collection like that.

I'll buy.
Have yet to play 2 and 3.

I'd love for these to be available in 3D where possible but Sony seems to have lost interest in it.
Bare in mind those file sizes will likely increase for the PS4 remasters. There's lots of pre-rendered video that will go from 720p/30fps to 1080p/60fps. TLoU went from something like 26GB to 44GB. I'm not sure they'll be able to do it on just two discs.

You forgot the third, and more likely, scenario.
The collection released in the summer months with U4 in the holidays. With the delay, the collection also got pushed back to polish it further.

There's absolutely a market for them at the moment - the big question is, what's going to happen next generation when everyone will have already played all the re-masters from last gen and new games from this current gen? the previous generation was the last generation of platform exclusives in a lot of ways.
Focusing on remasters and losing focus on new IP for this generation (and making the vast majority of titles cross platform anyway) means next generation there's going to be a severe drop in the amount of gaming content for people.
Yeah, this was probably supposed to be out during summer if Uncharted 4 was going to be out this Fall.
It's not even that. It's like every delay activates a perpetual "remastered collection" trap-card. I think it's naive to believe that knowing you have a easily profitable back-up wouldn't impact a company's view of delaying games.

Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
They will continue just as they have this generation. Remastering old content does not impact new content. It's not like Sony or Nintendo is going to stop making new games just because they once made a game for PS1.

YES! Can't wait to get back into Uncharted MP.
Anyone play Plunder last gen?

To be fair, those games are called Sly/Sly Cooper though. What else could they have called it?
It's not like they called the God of War Saga the Kratos Collection.
The Thievius Raccoonus Collection?
I like the names. Puts the protagonist name out there... instead of just "Uncharted". More visibility is good - in terms of marketing at least.

Watch them leave the video at 30fps, and watch people get really upset about it.

Agreed, I couldn't play it after having played 2 and 3 first.

Next will be Jak and Daxter: The Jak and Daxter Collection
Played it several times. Liked the story - very fresh and a solid origin story. I don't think anything will get changed. The graphics will hold better than half the games in MCC least.

If it's reasonably priced (£40/$60) for all three on disc then I'll pick it up for sure.
Is there a chance they'll just release it digitally though? then people could buy them separately or together for a discount?

If it's 1080p60 I might double dip!

It's a chicken or egg situation; even if you reverse it, It's quite likely for people to pick up the UC trilogy after enjoying UC4 (which will be heavily marketed and sell tons regardless)
