Nice, I might stay up for these reviews. 3am here on the east coast is too late. I know thats mostly for the west coast however.

When does this game go up for pre load? I pre ordered from the PSN store.

Edit: Nevermind, checked the PSN count down and it says May 8th.

I've talked to one reviewer who won't tell me his score but said the game literally oozes of passion. It's his favorite Naughty Dog game by far.


Take it for what you will. He wouldn't talk to me about the game further.

 

[farisr]

I'm more interested in Angry Joe's opinion tbh. I want to see how he reacts if the game really is so great that there are almost no negative can be found

Well he gave the TLOU remaster a 10/10, so I suppose watching that review can give you a good indication as to what the uncharted 4 review will be like if it turns out to be really great with almost no negatives.

Literally? What does oozing passion look like?

Wait...don't tell me.

 

[AniHawk]

okay so this time, everyone stay calm.

 

[Gaiaknight]

98 MC

Calling it.

shoot higher and have it tie ocarina of time as the highest rated game with a 99.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

93 Metacritic. Only Bloodborne and The Last Of Us match my excitement for a game in recent years.

I would not be shocked by a 95 though. 93 is my pessimistic, lowball prediction...

 

[Griss]

I'm very, very interested to see how this reviews. The original Uncharteds feel very, very dated to me already from a gameplay point of view. I think I was so blown away by the story, art and set pieces that I didn't notice that at the time.

So I reckon they'll have had to reinvent large parts of this to get 90+ scores. Unfortunately, since I've been on blackout, I have no idea if they've done that.

But as it's Naughty Dog, I'd be shocked if the game was anything less than excellent.

That's only with 22 reviews though, go to 28 and it's a 97.5%:

lol things are dangerous when 93 is a lowball pessimistic prediction

They did. This is way more than just a prettier version of the PS3 games.

 

[brandonh83]

I can't wait and I already have some Orville Redenbacher's ready to go.

 

[Elixist]

guessing 94 mc. first impressions seem hella strong and the game has a long campaign (for the moviesh action adventure genre) as well.

 

[Fret]

They did. This is way more than just a prettier version of the PS3 games.

well, lets play the game before we talk about gameplay

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I am not predicting the MC, but Polygon will give it a 9.

 

[Orayn]

I'm expecting a wall of shame. Whatever the reviews are, they will inspire people to make complete and utter asses of themselves.

 

[CHC]

So who's gonna give it the 7?

 

[Lys Skygge]

well, lets play the game before we talk about gameplay

Some of us did during the beta.

 

[Shambalakan]

My prediction is 93.
It will get lots of 10s and 9s, a few 8s and some unknown sites will give it 5 or 6.

 

[Putty]

Let's say.....93 with possibly 94......could at a push hit 95. Any of these scenarios would be a stunning achievement given how games this gen have generally reviewed.

 

[Primethius]

well, lets play the game before we talk about gameplay

We have. During two betas.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

well, lets play the game before we talk about gameplay

If you have seen previews of the campaign or played the MP beta it is obvious they have made major changes. Whether those changes are a net positive is the only thing up from debate.

 

[kennyamr]

idk why but I'm really positive about this one, way more than I should. 92 seems like a good choose for me but nah, I'll be more adventurous this time, I predict a whopping 96 in metacritic. BOOM.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

well, lets play the game before we talk about gameplay

Were you guys sleeping under a rock?? Three gameplay showcases, two betas isn't enough to gauge this?? There's been loads of previews, impressions from the final copy with beta gameplay to judge.


The game is way more than just a better looking Uncharted.

 

[GHG]

Let's face it, the game could get a 100 metascore and there would be GAF meltdowns.

I look forward to the thread.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

So who's gonna give it the 7?

Definitely gonna be Polygon

I'm guessing the Meta will be a 96 when it's all said and done

 

[Fret]

whoops

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Why this game more than any other?

 

[Fret]

Why this game more than any other?

because of this

 

[StrongBlackVine]

because of this

No I meant why do Uncharted scores elicit such strong emotions? I think I read Zelda fans can be pretty crazy so maybe it isn't the only game. I don't really remember many people freaking out when Halo 5 got a relatively low score though.

 

[NateDrake]

No I meant why do Uncharted scores elicit such strong emotions?

Any major console release that is exclusive gets a crazy reaction to review scores - be them low or high.

 

[Gaiaknight]

No I meant why do Uncharted scores elicit such strong emotions?

just how big console exclusive review threads go the one for mario galaxy 1 is an amazing read also as well.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Twilight Princess getting an 8.8 from Gerstmann makes those Uncharted 3 reactions look positively tame.

 

[vanDoughnut]

98 MC let's goooooooo

Have a feeling that it's gonna be perfect score city.

 

[NateDrake]

Twilight Princess getting an 8.8 from Gerstmann makes those Uncharted 3 reactions look positively tame.

Mario Kart Double Dash 7.9 is pretty great too.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Mario Kart Double Dash 7.9 is pretty great too.

Oh God, I forgot about that one.

 

[Chuck Norris]

That's because the fanbase had turned on 343's vision of Halo well before reviewers had

halo 4 eased people into that, expectations were already adjusted.

 

[Gurish]

We are 3 years into this gen and no game passed the 93 MC, more than that, there is only one lousy game that got to the 93 MC as well.

So yea, statistics are against it, that's why I also predict a 90-93, but if there is one dev that can break the statistic it's ND, so I think this game got the best chance until Zelda, or in a worse case, GTA6 releases.

I really hope they can, would be nice to get a really high consensus like we did in previous gens.

 

[generic_username]

okay so this time, everyone stay calm.

Lol. Mods will be in this mood that day

 

[kittoo]

The time seems to be 5th May 1AM according to the timer, not 4th May.

 

[dugdug]

lol @ people predicting Polygon will give an Uncharted game a high review score.

Y'all know Gies still runs shit over there, right? He's been waiting for this moment.

Imma go with 84.

 

[pharmboy044]

People have some crazy expectations from ND. This gen it's been super tough for games to score in the 90's.

 

[bwakh]

Predicting an easily 90+ metacritic score. Game looks phenomenal and nothing I've seen of this game makes me doubt ND's quality.

 

[bananafactory]

The time seems to be 5th May 1AM according to the timer, not 4th May.

Yeah, I screwed it up. I was trying to go with May 4 at midnight but I didn't even get the time right

PM'd a mod to fix it

 

[johnnydrama]

Man, people are already debating/worried about gameplay improvements and Polygon bias. I can see the wall of shame from miles away. Wasn't the Uncharted Collection review thread also locked down because of certain meltdowns?

 

[Bitch Pudding]

 

[StrongBlackVine]

People have some crazy expectations from ND. This gen it's been super tough for games to score in the 90's.

When your last 3 games are 96, 93 and 95 I would say these lofty expectations are quite rational and well deserved. I think the people predicting mid 80s are the crazy ones!

 

[Introvese]

I'm getting rid of my ps4 if it's less than a 92

 

[Chuck Norris]

If it's more of the same Uncharted as U3 was I think we will see low 90s, high 80s. Many were disappointed that U3 was just raising the stakes on set pieces and little else

Two things I think people really want:

1) More freedom and clear growth in how the game plays to feel succinctly different from the last few

2) Some genuine depth to the story telling. Real stakes and real emotion. TLOU set such a high bar for this and U3 set such a low bar so it's hard to know where it will fall

It feels like the characters have been treading water for 3 games with no real growth or emotional stake. That's very much the popcorn vibe they have gone for, but as fans we want more

If it hits these as ND is capable of then we will see some big scores yet again

 

[brickarts295]

Lol. Mods will be in this mood that day

Damn that's a crazy gif.
