More focused on the gameplay this time. Lots of new footage

Key points (probably missed some stuff)

- Vehicles react differently depending on terrain.

- Rope can be utilised in most gameplay encounters. Has multiple uses.

- From the beginning Bruce wanted to get back to figuring out the core gameplay.

- Combat designed with Nate's traversal moveset in mind.

- Climbing system in UC4 has been completely overhauled. System gives unprecedented level of fine control with full analogue control over both of his hands

- Characters traversing with you were scripted in the past games. Now it is very systemic.

- Bunch of stuff on AI being smarter with new flanking behaviours and better awareness etc. They have the same traversal abilities as Drake

- They really wanted to avoid stop and pop gameplay with the player sticking behind one piece of cover.

- A lot of the stealth elements from the Last of Us brought over so the player has more choices in combat. You can break line of sight and sneak past them

- Melee is deeper.

- Lots of new tools added but in a way that is elegant enough to not explode the game with HUD.

Now this one is meaty
Dynamic climb animation! Too much gif moment, where to start?

 

[Man]

That was quick.

edit:

This game is absolutely overwhelming in gameplay & visual technology. I can't see this benchmark being beaten anytime soon.

Those new Eastern-European/Russian environments look beautiful.
2nd edit: Correction:

Spoiler

Scotland actually!

 

[Loris146]

Unkarted X Motorstorm.

 

[Kralamoonard]

Holy shit.
The camera work really is unprecedented. So good.

 

[etta]

Daaaaaaaamn, Eben, you got some style going on that I do not understand.

 

[Cereal Enthusiast]

It looks fucking insane. I know we say a lot "I can't wait", but damn this time I REALLY can't wait.

 

[aravuus]

Wasn't interested in the single player campaign at first, but damn, some of this stuff looks really really cool. Love the level of interactivity and just how dynamic everything seems.

Def glad I decided to buy a PS4 a while back.

 

[zsynqx]

Gifs?

 

[foxbeldin]

Many things to gif from this.

HYPE!

"Look at what we can do."

Naughty Dog ethos in a nutshell. They act because they have the power and talent too.

These environments look absolutely fantastic. I'm a huge sucker for variety when it comes to play spaces and UC4 looks like it'll have that in spades.

Only gripe I have is, why mix in the old footage and the new footage together? The color-grading (and lighting?) seems to have changed from last year and the switch is between the two is ... weird.

 

[SomTervo]

Watched with sound off - looking bloody great. Love seeing flashes of that god-tier level design.

So many GIFable bits here.

Holy shit. (6:36)

The camera work really is unprecedented. So good.

I think TLoU was just behind this. Almost on par. It also had incredible, intelligent, interactive camera work.

The "shakiness" of the camera work in UC4 looks to be one of the biggest steps up. Uncharted 1-3 had a fun little hand-to-hand mechanic, but it looks like UC4 is turning it into serious business. Again, a bit more like TLoU.

 

[ShutterMunster]

Christ almighty! NEW FOOTAGEEEE! Gif squad!!!!

 

[newjeruse]

Dat mud

Agreed on that last point.

[Wrynnax]

Hope they don't focus too much on driving around, but otherwise looks amazing!

 

[Kralamoonard]

SHIN-RA!! WE NEED YOUR GIFS!!!

 

[etta]

The new footage looks so fucking good! The lighting in that rocky cold area is insane.

Well, it is less time consuming.

the new batmobile?

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

For real. That's a video game jawline if there ever was one.

 

[Des]

That melee looks Last of Us as fuck, gonna be a massive upgrade from UC3.

 

[DrD]

This looks insane. The traversal looks like it improved a lot compared to how limited it was in past games.

 

[foxbeldin]

Sorry it's tiny af

 

[noomi]

April is going to be fucking awesome.

*edit*

forgot it got delayed to May

 

[Wrynnax]

the new batmobile?

Let's hope not!

If wait until May10 is awesome.

 

[Bishop89]

fuck me thats good

 

[Donos]

gif of 2:46 - 2:49 plz

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Well, it is less time consuming.

I mean ... they already took the time out to pull out new gameplay tidbits so ...

 

[Javin98]

As I thought, this video is pretty simplified as well when it comes to the technical details. Oh, well, guess we have to wait for their GDC slides for an in depth look. On the bright side, this video had a lot of new footage and that alone makes me much more satisfied than the previous video. Bring on the GIF's!

Haven't they already done some technical vids already? Someone linked them in the other thread. I'll go get them.

[EDIT] Here it is.

We probably won't get anything nearly as in-depth as the Naughty Dog Gnomon videos in part 2, so watch these if you haven't already!

Reminded me of Ian Hinck.

Why the hell do I keep watching these, my hype levels are getting too damn high.

[EDIT] Here it is.

I would prefer one solely focused on Uncharted 4, but thanks for the links. I'll watch one of these at least.

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

What is new footage and what is old?

I am getting confused lol. Looks decent tho, I am spoiled by PC IQ now a bit but I am looking forward to the gameplay a lot

 

[Jigolo]

Cool vid. Lots of PSX 2014 stuff and E3 stuff with sprinkles of new footage. Just how I like it.

Bruce is the man

 

[Lnkn52]

Some of these developers have really nice hair.

 

[Always-honest]

Goddamn, the wait is long.

The Africa and Scotland footage is new, the city chase and jungle is old.

Unless you're used to 1440p or higher resolutions on PC, Uncharted 4 should still hold up well to your standards. The AA solution they use is amazing, the open beta was jaggies and shimmering free.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Dark Souls 3 is 3 more weeks
Uncharted 4 is a fucking month
Please recommend me some games for waiting
