Pre-ordered on the PSN store, can't wait to play it. Never had a Ps3 and never played the Uncharted games.

These games and the Last of Us make me wish I didn't miss out on the PS3. If I ever get a PS4 I'll have some stuff to pick up.

I recently went back to play Uncharted 1 for the first time after having played 2 and 3 and man, that was pretty tough to get through, it has not aged well at all compared to the other two.

The correct answer for any casting of Sully is Kurt Russel, Dan! Some film studies major you are.

So much of my enjoyment of the Uncharted series came from the impressive visuals. These games still looks good, but it's not impressive, like when they were released. With the visuals taken away, all that's left is the gameplay and I didn't really like the gunplay so this package is not that enticing.

I have a picture of what these games look like in my head, i don't want to spoil that by replaying them now.

I still hold the unpopular opinion of thinking the Uncharted games aren't that great. They have great set pieces, but all the enemies are bullet sponges who don't stagger at all when shot. The combat is just not fun at all.

I'm not sure we played the same games, but the enemies definitely flail around when shot. And they only take a couple of shots with the standard pistol (not counting head-shots or armored units) on normal difficulty.

For me the Uncharted games were all about the visuals and the set pieces. So they're the kind of games that has aged the worst for me, because I'm not that into the stuff in those game that has aged well. Looking forward to Uncharted 4 though!

I remembered when I played Uncharted 2, how much I hated Lazarevic,as a person, he was just dull to me.

Then when I got Uncharetd 3, I really liked Charlie Cutter, and I went to see who was voicing him, and to my surprise it was the same guy that did the Vocie of Lazarevic from Uncharted 2 :)

2 is still my farvorite, the story was better I thought than 3, and Uncharted 3 also had alot of unexplained things that made no sence, but it had great set pieces.

He also says "Spoilers!" right before talking about them, so I don't know what else you would expect.

The show Jeff thinks about is Burn Notice, and the actor is Jeffry Donovan, but I'm sure he knows that by now.

I know that the GB crew don't want an Uncharted 4 or have at least been against the idea previous to this years E3 showing but after 3, I felt the series needed it. 3 was an ok game but it aped too much of what worked well in 2 and didn't address what was wrong. The set pieces in 2 felt unique each time but to me, the ones in 3 didn't seem grander or even on the same level and it repeated many different times but just put a different skin on top.

@likeassur: well, i'd expect him to not give spoilers in a video designed to inform people that maybe havnt played uncharted ever before. whether or not he gives half a second of notice for you to pause the video, thats still not in good form.

As a person who throws in Uncharted 2 to this day, I can confirm people stagger and flinch when shot. The first game had sponges, the other two did not.

It has always annoyed me with this series how your character never aims their weapon directly where the reticule is pointing.

At the start, he shoots the lock off the gate, then kicks the gates off their hinges. That... doesn't seem entirely necessary.

its come out that out of all current gen games only 10% are remakes/remasters...so I think we can stop harping on the amount of remasters coming out.

That being said, I'm annoyed I got another week to wait on this game.

Burn Notice isn't really that hard to grasp. If there are jokes about it being hard to understand then those jokes must not be funny.

I always thought Uncharted 1 looked weird (especially the animations). It looks good, and has aged fairly well but I remember thinking it was a strange juxtaposition of representing psuedo-reality while having remnants of the stylised movement of Jak and Daxter

I can't believe Dan forgot that Metal Gear Solid 2 had a cover-based gameplay.... Like it's one of his favorite games! It also totally was before Gears.

Just skip from 4 mins to 6 mins, should cover that stuff. It's honestly not that bad though, he doesn't spoil the real nature of anything, or the resolutions, or the actual narrative endings. I knew the stuff he was talking about for all of the games before playing them, and it didn't make them a lesser experience for me. Mileage may vary, obviously!

Yes, absolutely. The dialogue, acting, and character introductions are great. Elena, Drake and Sully make the games for me, more than any other aspect of the series. I also like the gameplay but I realize that may not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, you can unlock making-of videos of the voice actors wearing their mo-cap suits while acting out cutscenes. :D

If you don't start enjoying it pretty early on, you CAN skip to the second game, but I do recommend starting with the first one. It's got heart.

I bought a PS3 for The Last of Us in 2013 and have bought and beaten all three Uncharteds since. I freaking love them. No one else does high adventure like Naughty Dog. I guess they're nothing special from a gameplay perspective, but the production values, atmosphere, performances and set-pieces are top of the line and just as worthy of being a flagship as say Halo or Gears of War. It's got heart.

It's so hard to tell if a series that won multiple GotY awards, sold 21 million copies, and had review scores of 88 for 1, 96 for 2, 92 for 3 and 80 for GA is actually popular.

I wonder if Gears of Wars is popular or if it was just "close enough" for a Xbox flagship exclusive.

@elko84: I'd say no. I have 2 and 3 I think and I started them and lost interest quickly. I find them to be really boring games. An HD remake is not going to fix that.

im a odd place with this game,

because really when it comes down to it, it's just modernized uncharted which don't get me wrong that's super cool and great for people that are getting ps4's for the first time or just super over the top fans of uncharted but i look at it and think yep that's a good looking game i already know and played a lot of, but i just dont want to buy it even though there really isn't much going on the ps4 right now.

is that just me ?
