Bingo.
The enemy encounter design is even worse than Uncharted 2.
Still, great looking game with beautiful locations and some very cool sections.

I love Uncharted combat. It gives you so many options in its combat bowls. And yes, the ability to throw back grenades was a welcome one. Helped a lot in the final stretch of the game on Crushing.
Grenades explode immediately if they are thrown at opponents feet tho. I guess being able to 'cook' them would work, not enough time to lob them away when done right.
Anyway, I hope ND bring a lot of new gameplay mechanics like this in U4.

It was a little over powerful. Like an infinite grenade stash. Very fun though.

At 60fps, it could easily pass for current gen.
I'd say it arguably looks better than The Last of Us.

Man, those graphics still rock. I wish I could play a trilogy package of these games on my PS4.
We all know it's going to happen.

In the beta I threw back a cluster grenade just as a shutter was closing on the airstrip map and got a double or triple kill with it. Incredibly satisfying.

It was great until you hesistated because you weren't sure if it would blow up in your hand and then you throw it anyway and it blows up in your hand.

Man, between the Uncharted games and TLOU, Naughty Dog really had the PS3 hardware down, didn't they? I mean, they fulled off some graphic fidelity that no one else could on that hardware.
Categorically false, you're thinking of either another game, or of the quick boom kickback.
Local, splitscreen multiplayer was the best thing to me. But yeah, grenade throwbacks were nice.
Uh, I disagree. U3's final boss was really lame to me. Especially on Crushing where you have to mash like crazy.

I was discussing Uncharted 3 with a guy today and he told me that Uncharted 3 was a rehash of the second, so he thought it was dissapointing. We should be happy that there is a rehash of Uncharted 2 (one of the best games of last gen).
Immediately was an overstatement, but I'm pretty sure grenades went off faster if they were thrown directly at their feet. I might have dreamt it up or was thinking of the quick boom kickback, quite awhile since I played Uncharted online.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
It's certainly no Gears of War 2.
I don't understand why anyone would like Uncharted 2 better.
Looks worse graphically, and the characters felt very stilted emotionally..No introspection or light heartedness whatsoever compared to 3.Terrible villain.Less memorable set pieces.
I mean uncharted 2 is good ,but it felt like a downgrade after playing the incredible UC3.
I played UC3 first and to me there is no contest.UC3 does everything 2 does but much better.
Nate had so much less character in UC2.He was an asshole.

I may not really be able to justify buying a PS4 until AT LEAST 2016. The wait for UC4 may prove soul crushing.

pace, set pieces, story, character development, and especially multiplayer were all better in UC2
also the controls were broken for UC3 when the game released, put a huge damper on my impressions of the game
Makes you wonder what they will do with the PS4.
You mean the one that Drake barely manages to make it to before completely forgetting his prior thirst and exhaustion to emphatically take care of dozens of baddies?
Yup. Just like how Drake manages to climb up a derailed, slippery train in very cold temperatures in a T-shirt while it's snowing, after getting shot in the torso and waking up from unconsciousness.

Couple of additional details. I think the throwback timing window's adjusted by difficulty mode (the GIFs in the OP make it look quite easy) and opens when the grenade makes contact with a hard surface so if it hits a wall high up and then drops down, you might not have time to react. And if you react too early, you lose the opportunity to try again with that grenade.
Special grenade types in multiplayer have shorter windows of opportunity too I think.

Not owning a PS3 makes me sad I missed these gorgeous looking games. They're probably getting a re-release on PS4 though, so I'm really looking forward to that.

Me too, even the first one if you overlook the screen tearing.
The best thing about Uncharted 3 was the response to GameSpot's 8.0. 
Edit: In the interest of substance, I adore the series, and in fact I'm a member of the relatively small camp that holds Drake's Fortune in the highest regard for its setting, but the vitriolic response to said review from people who hadn't played the game was delightfully entertaining. I'll happily plead guilty to a prior offence in "being caught up in the hype" (I consumed literally every morsel of pre-release media I could vis-a-vis Among Thieves, which in hindsight was a bad idea), but even so I managed to read said review and think nothing more than, "Okay then." After all, why the importance on what someone else thinks? What matters, in the end, is your own enjoyment.
