Somehow the VO seems very basic, kinda lifeless and boring. Well, bad acting imo.
I don't know, there are not many who are hearing it so it can't be that bad.
Probably will just go away during my own playthrough.

Nice, that´s the level now?
Saw the Jeep bit and it does sound a bit less natural than in UC4, but I wouldn't say horrible by any means. It seems Neil is just better at getting the best out of voice actors, even when it's banter.

How? If anything it would fit since they're always on islands and such with plenty of rocks and hard surfaces that would make sounds.
The accent Laura Bailey's going for is REALLY missing the mark.

This. And I think they've got a great back and forth in tone in between UC4 and 1-3 with a little more of the adventurous tone from the different needs of the story and Chloe being Chloe, but also the opposite vibes of Nadine.
Yeah, and this looks even better so I can't wait to see it on my TV. I expect their uses of HDR will probably look even better too now that it was expected during the whole development.
I'm weak, I just had to watch. Looks so good! I only wish all Naughty Dog trailers came with a hit of this at the end.

In U4 they had a mixture of doing it all yourself and the partner(s) helping, probably to mix it up.
Also Chloe Frazer's the best driver in the business.

I guess I don't know what hitting the mark is supposed to sound like then. She sounds like she did in UC4 and I didn't have a problem with her performance there.
Yeah, I know. I played UC4. I'd just rather have it where if you're close enough to the vehicle, you do it, and if you're closer to where you attached the wench, the AI partner does it. It's a minor thing, though.

That would be dope. Show what's happening in other parts of the world in a standalone game.
That would be cool.

Ehh, don't care for the giant vehicle section. UC4 had that too.
Im just going to enjoy this for the beautiful environment, and just really want some nice platforming. Hide some secret paths and points of interest and all that into the world, or hide some cool weapons in areas for me to discover and Im happy.

I want to go in blind on this so I only watched thirty seconds or so. I'm still not much of a Chloe fan though.

Is that paper you're hearing the map she opens? Games often have super clear dialogue because a player, distracted with the task of playing, has trouble focusing.
Seems like a souped-up Madagascar. I'm really glad they are bringing back the new mechanics from Uncharted 4 like the Jeep, grapple and piton. And I like the addition of the lock-pick and it sounds like they will be using the phone more (only skimmed through the previews a bit). Giving more stuff to explore for like that side quest-esque thing they mention is a plus. I really liked the addition of optional conversations and other non-treasure stuff they had for collecting in 4. Could definitely be beefed up. Anyway, game is looking great. Can't wait to play this!

Looks like more Uncharted 4. Which isn't a bad thing, I just have a hard time getting all that excited about it.

I´m not actually hearing paper.

Really looking forward to playing this, not gonna watch any videos so I can go in blind.
I've been playing a game a day of UC4 mp the past month, its really enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing what the DLC brings to MP and hopefully a ton of new players too.

Who spit in the writer of Push Square's cheerios, lol? That excerpt sounds overly critical and disinterested.
I am however really excited for this.
More freedom, more exploration, more reason for treasure finding. Chloe and Nadine too are a great and interesting change for a team.

But then i used my headphones (cheap Siberia 150) and boy voice acting and voice audio for main characters really sticks out. You really can "hear" booth environment and feel simple line reading instead of real conversation. It's like they didn't do any post processing with voice recordings to make it blend in game environment. Other sounds/audio is great even NPC voice acting. It blends far better.
I just watched a small part of the video (i usually avoid any media for UC but somehow i don't care this time) and i'm surprisingly uninterested in this. I used to love the franchise but then Uncharted 4 happened. From the small part i saw, this seems more of Uncharted 4, with huge areas to "explore" where there is only few things to do (e.g. Madagascar). Also, i think i've had it with these typical jungle settings and wished for something completely different visually and setting wise.
I will probably still buy day one but i doesn't do anything for me at this point. Naughty Dog should probably give the series a long and well deserved break. It's strange how much of an effect UC4 has on how i feel about the series. UC1 and 2 will forever remain classics though.

Watched 5 seconds to hear Claudia Black's voice.
Uncharted 4 is my favored of Naughty Dog's post-PS1 output, so like UC4 this is day one. Looks gorgeous.

UC4 had towers in the Madagascar level as well.

Left Behind was like 1/4 the length of this...

Most likely the same as UC4.

Whoa that's interesting.
Thanks for the impressions, wasn't a huge fan of the Madagascar segment in UC4 but this sounds a lot more improved
If only there was a reason for the price difference...

left behind is around 3-4 hours long, this is appx 10h.

Truly terrible. I first thought I am watching someone do sarcastic voice overs, only when she stepped to the jeep and interacted with the other character I realised it's the actual voice acting. Holy shit.

If you read Eurogamers preview they confirm 1440p with HDR.
Has ND talked about improvements to the game engine since UC4, to me there looks to have been a nice improvement.
I too thought it looks even better than UC4. Especially the more enclosed areas, that we saw in the trailers. I noticed one thing though: The shadows are terrible.

They are the crudest, most pixelated ones that I have seen in a current AAA title.

VO seems a little off but the gameplay is looking great. I'm going through Uncharted 4 again on the side right now and it seems to have taken the best parts of it in that demo.
If it's really 10 hours long, or about as long as Drake's Fortune, its very impressive. Especially given how A Thief's End just came out a little over a year ago.
Best wishes.

Hmm -- only saw one screenshot as I want to go in somewhat blind. Having said that, kind of disappointing to read that PS4 Pro support is 1440p... although still better than 1080p, the 2160cc used in Horizon is ahead in clarity. They obviously know better than me, so I trust their judgement. But yeah HZD is definitely more sharp compared to UC4 because of this. They done goofed up if there is no downsampling for 1080p users.
