GamesRadar - What do Octodad, Until Dawn and Uncharted 4 all have in common?
When used correctly, then, opening titles can effortlessly establish the identity of a creative work in a way like no other, setting the tone for what's to come while introducing the audience to its fiction and easing them into the immersion of fantasy. As games continue to draw in a wider audience, pushing themselves further towards equal recognition alongside that of film and television, the role of the title credits are more important now than ever before.
A stunning Uncharted Unreal Engine 5 imagining has been released, featuring cutscenes, platforming, combat, stealth, and vehicles.
Created by Daniel Arriaga, a level designer at MachineGames on the upcoming Indiana Jones game, this fan concept is a solo developer project.
Leaked screenshots from Sony Interactive Entertainment and Ballistic Moon's upcoming remake of Until Dawn have reportedly emerged.
Doesn't look any different to the ps4 version. Hope it's not another lazy Sony remaster a.k.a remake.
Wrong, they even showed it on the last State of Play and I just played it the month before since I wanted to go back to it.
It does look better and more cleaned up, it's not a remake at least what they said. They said remaster so this article is wrong from the info I've heard.
Until Dawn is getting remastered to coincide with the live-action movie.

So not a Lazy remake and yes it looks better! :)
I'm sure it's a fair upgrade seeing as it's UE5 now. That being said, the original was not ugly by any stretch and I can't fully understand the need to remake this other than a cash grab to coincide with the movie that is coming eventually.
A good game, had some fps troubles on ps4. So hopefully thats ironed out with some better looking graphics.
I think Sony should rename PlayStation to RemakeStation. I am a Playstation fan but this is getting ridiculous. I think this is the weakest gen software-wise compared to all other gen.
PS2 > PS3 > PS1 > PS4 > PS5
Agreed. Sony has released only remasters/remakes of games and noting new. MS has released so many new games i don't have the time to name the all.
I have never owned or cared about Xbox, so I don't have any opinion about that. if you say that MS has released then I believe you I guess
Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2 , Horizon Forbidden West to name a couple.
And what Microsoft released in the last couple of years was way beyond the league of those listed games.
Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West to mention a few of the good ones.
Then everything on PSVR2.
Then we have the bad ones, like Destruction AllStars and medium ones like Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
On top of that, there are lots of third party games.
Compare that to MS.
Redfall, MS Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, HiFi Rush. Did I miss anything?
Now lets compare the games, and see which console had the best start this generation.
I think Sony should have abandoned the PS4. we have not seen true PS5 potential yet. where are those games that would load Assets from SSD where the character is looking <-- Mark Cerny
I hope all new games from Sony Studios are PS5 only from now...

I completely agree with you. At first it was like «Hey, so cool, i've never played this game and it's getting a remake, means it'll be much better!» but now it's «Come on, i was just playing that, it still looks and plays just fine». I want to play new games, try new experiences, hear new stories from new characters. It's like gaming companies have hired George Lucas as a consultant or something.

Suuuuuuuure, dude. Come on, be real.
Cheap and quick way to fill in the release calendar in-between major new games - that's why pretty much all the major publishers have been doing it.
This Valentine's Day got me thinking of some of my favorite video game couples. Specifically, Nate and Elena from the Uncharted Series.
Opening credits to Uncharted 4 gave me goosebumps. Was such an awesome way to start that game.
MGS was amazing for its time. Having the opening credits play over the initial gameplay while you are waiting for the elevator to come back down was a cinematic touch.
Even a lot of intro/opening logos of the developers are lazy in today's games. Guerilla Games should have gone all out and done something amazing with their name at the start of Horizon. But all it has is their logo against a black screen in white. :(
Drake's Fortune had a cool ND logo with the jungle style music played over it. Then for Uncharted 2 it was an ice theme because of U2's setting. Then Drake's Deception should have been a fire and sand theme but it was just back to a standard ND logo again.
Just this week I was looking at the AWESOME Psygnosis/Reflections opening from Destruction Derby 2 (not the intro viedo that follows it, just the logo part at the start. https://www.youtube.com/wat... Its glorious because it tricks you into thinking its just the logo against a black background but then its actually a CG cutscene with the Psygnosis eagle in the centre of a car wheel, it zooms in and when it zooms out its the Reflections name :)
As much as I hate EA this gen or since they killed things like Burnout and Dead Space last gen, that opening logo for Mirror's Edge is so stylish and fits the game and its bright colours. https://www.youtube.com/wat... DICE can do style. who knew it (again not the video just the logo at the start)?
I love opening credits because they et you amped up for the game you're about to play without throwing you straight into the action.
I feel that way about movies too. I miss opening credits in movies because they often hyped you up for what was about to happen
How about God of War III and Heavy Rain
I really enjoyed Hellblades interactive opening cinematic, not just because I had control but it set the perfect pace and rhythm for what was about to turn into a hell of an adventure.
