Uncharted 3: Villain revealed

I'm so hyped right now.

I love that they have chosen to go with a female protagonist as the central villain this time round. I wonder if Drake will half tuck that suit...hmmm.
 
Vampires in Uncharted confirmed!!!

Looks very good. It'll be interesting how it'll be handled. She is not a normal villain by gaming standards.

I hope there is less shooty shooty in this game.

They all just sit down, cup of tea and crumpets, game of croquet and work our their differences. GAME OVER.
 
Quite a few people commented that male characters in UC2 were done better than females, here they are definitely correcting that. She looks incredible and quite scary. That sound and face she does when she sees the ring...

That henchman is totally Lazarevich's voice actor.

Yeah, Nolan North confirmed Graham McTavish is back in this one as a new character.

Who complained? Elena and Chloe were awesome.
 
I really like how all the characters always have that nice balance between being stylized and realistic, speaking of later, their skin shader is completely ridiculous. SSS looks more natural than on skin in that crazy UE next gen demo.

Some people I know in real life thought that Drake and Sully looked more believable than Chloe in particular, and I can't say I disagree, even though I thought her look worked well for her character.

Just watched the video, holy shit at the facial animation. Looks fucking sick!!!
An actual animation too :P Masterful indeed.
 
Love this. The goons are great, and the old lady is fabulous. Hype +50 :D

The Uncharted Trilogy will go down in history if this is half as good as the last two.

That video has all the tell-tale signs of MLAA too, so that's pretty much confirmed.
It's in-engine, clearly, but it'll probably be prerecorded and with additional effects for the game. I wouldn't necessarily take it as an indicator of what gameplay'll look like.
 
haven't seen the video (heading out in a minute) but those screen shots already make her look a thousand times more interesting than lazaradedvickinski.

They had the same image quality/AA in cutscenes as in the gameplay regardless of being prerecorded in the first two games, so it's safe to take this as an indication.

That said, I saw some lines that I think MLAA would clean up that looked kinda jaggedy. hard to say as on my monitor, the picture is either too big in full screen or too small when not. Subpixel shimmer would still be there to some degree with 2xMSAA (just look at GT5 showroom cars) so that's not something I'd take as an indicative. What I'm saying is I think they're still using 2xMSAA like before.
 
I haven't seen Mirren in a lot of movies, so I can't currently recall/recognize her voice. Is she voicing this antagonist or not?
 
Now that's how you do a cutscene. And what a great step up from Lazaravich. Can't help getting hyped after that.

Looks fantastic and quality voice work. Glad ND fixed the sparkly eyes from U2 too.
Yeah, that was one of the things people I mentioned above said about Chloe, it was more noticeable on her than on male characters. Sparkle in their eyes now looks crazy good if you look at the first trailer when Drake and Sully talk.

Had a feeling the third villain would be British.
In the first one, he was too, right? One of villains that is.

We've already seen what gameplay looks like.
 
Has there been a British person in Uncharted yet that hasn't been an antagonist?

Uncharted: DF - Gabriel Roman
Uncharted 2: AT - Harry Flynn
Uncharted 3: DD - Katherine Marlowe and the gang.

I hope the villain in Uncharted 4 is a Cockney chimney sweep with a very questionable accent. Dick Van Dyke is the master of that. Get him to voice him.

Marlowe is awesome already. Sexcellent.

All cutscenes in the previous Uncharted games were rendered in-engine with only the lighting and shadow quality touched up a tad. Everything else - from the AA to the textures - was left untouched as when the engine is rendering a scene in real-time.

There's no particular reason why ND would change their approach for Drake's Deception, and as such it's a perfectly reasonable assumption that the image quality present in the cutscenes will carry over to gameplay.
 
I have this in high quality now, what's the best place to upload 100MB video file?

Flynn was Australian I think.
