GB: "Recently we saw the release of new game play videos of Uncharted 3 and we at GamingBolt wore our thinking caps imagining how much different does Uncharted 3 looks from Uncharted 2. So we decided to a few in game comparison. And the result as you can see is above."
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.

''As a franchise, Uncharted has provided moments that force you to soak in the scene. For years now, I've refereed to Uncharted 2 and 3 as the accumulation of what main stream video games have aimed to be. Those experiences that rival, arguably surpass, anything cinema can offer.''
Hollywood's track record doesn't really inspire confidence if it ever did happen
Of course I'd LOVE to see a great Uncharted movie, but you know Hollywood. I'd rather them not even try. :\
I personally don't see the need for video game movies at all especially when we're talking about story/character driven games. I just don't like the idea of having an entirely different cast of actors play those roles. But then again I don't mind those movies too much. If the movie sucks (which it often does) I just ignore it.
If they just got the voice actors at least the main three, work their Hollywood make up magic on them, get Nolan to a strict bulk up diet and then follow a condensed Drakes Fortune script from the game which cuts unnecessary chapters out (which were done in the game story to add to the games length) and transition the gameplay sections in-between the cutscenes nicely together then sure I'd want it
But Hollywood aren't smart are they.
For Uncharted I would love to see a film adaption, no matter what others say :-).
We don't need it, thankfully we probably won't get it any time soon either.
As Nolan North said, by the time it releases, he'll be old enough to play Sully.
Did Naughty Dog's latest finally outshine Uncharted 2?
I think it could be. What helps Uncharted 2 is the dramatic step forward for the series and Naughty Dog. It was something special we hadn't seen.
It's my favorite. There is one sequence in particular that isn't scripted at all but was my absolute favorite part of the game. It was incredible. Uncharted 2 had a lot of fabulous jaw drops, and I'll never forget its place in history, but A Thief's End is the culmination of everything Naughty Dog has learned, polished to a beautiful sheen. I loved it in a way that is almost embarrassing.
i consider U1 the best Uncharted and secondly U4 along with U2..i dont know why, maybe because nostalgia but it has smthing that makes me like it more
My personal list goes, Uncharted 4, 2, 3 and 1. But regardless, Naughty Dog has created something special with the Uncharted franchise. It's characters, stories, grahics, gameplay mechanics; you can tell that every single game was a labor of love. And I want to say thank you Naughty Dog for creating such an awe inspiring and all around beautiful experience. Definitely my favorite gaming franchise of all time hands down.
I think UC4 and UC2 are about equal - the story of UC4 is better told and the combat and platforming has improved but UC2 had better pacing, stand out set pieces and better puzzles. Where UC4 totally outdoes Among Thieves is the visuals and it feels more open yielding multiple solutions to a given situation.
If I were asked to pick one Uncharted game, it would have to be Uncharted 4 as it has benefited from Naughty Dog's experience of the first trilogy and The Last Of Us, and the visuals are just stunning. Before UC4 was released I was all set to enjoy the last Uncharted but after having finished UC4 for the first time, I actually hope that they bring Uncharted back for a fifth iteration on PS5 and/or PSVR with the two most obvious people gamers will see at the end of UC4.
Dude, spoiler warning for those who haven't finished the game. You just gave the ending away to everyone.
Its hard to say, Uncharted 2 made a huge leap for not only the series but the gaming industry, pushing graphics, story, and set pieces to a whole new level, as well as perfecting the voice acting and motion capture they started in UC1.
UC4 has also made leaps, mostly from NDs experience with the Last of Us. These are more subtle on the surface, the game looks beautiful, but a lot of it goes unnoticed on the surface. Their animations, attention to detail, and interaction with the world has really gone to an entirely different level then Uncharted 2 even dreamed of. Their story telling abilities through the characters and the world is really unmatched and in my opinion no other studio can even hold a candle to it.
Not to mention, ND knows how to end games, and a series. People in all industries need to take note lol.
I think the general consensus is that Uncharted 1 is considered the worst of the series. Before 4, the order was basically 2>3>1.
None of them are bad games. They're all quite good. While I very much enjoyed 4 and can be considered at least on par with Among Thieves, if not better, Drake's Deception (Uncharted 3) was probably the most unique. I would say Golden Abyss is a lot like Drake's Fortune and Among Thieves most closely resembles A Thief's End. That sort of just leaves Uncharted 3 to be its own game. It wasn't quite like 2 and 4 but still not quite like 1 and Golden Abyss.
They all have their merits. None of them are bad games. I think Among Thieves was exceptional and A Thief's End recaptured that feeling. It wasn't until Uncharted 2 that Naughty Dog really went for the cinematic approach.
That all being said, when I really think about it, I honestly couldn't really choose between 2 and 4. 2 changed a lot and 4 brought some great closure to the series. Both incredibly strong entries. I just might give 2 the edge. It really put the series on the map.
I personally preferred the Second. As much as I've been enjoying U4 I found the setting and more crucially, the pacing of U2 better, especially towards the end. But each to their own, both stand out games.
The pacing in 2 is definitely better (best in the series) but id say everything else is better in 4
What I disliked about 2 was the puzzles and boss fights. The puzzles were way too easy and clearly there as buffers for the action. "Look in the book, and follow what we laid out". Lazaravich and Yeti boss fights were both "run in a circle and blindfire"
UC4's final boss fight was not only very fitting, but the villain was the best in the series. The puzzles also felt like it required more thought.
Pacing in UC2 is top tier, next to Last of Us. I'd say UC4 has some pacing issues as it doesn't touch LoU or UC2. But that's my only real issue with UC4, in addition maybe to not having a standout setpiece like UC2 or UC3. It also seemed to rely too often on sliding and swinging to end off any setpieces, and stealth was never anything to write home about with Uncharted games, as they are more about the action shootouts.
The burning house, airplane, and sinking ship, and the train/ collapsing building seem more memorable than UC4's setpieces.
I didn't completely buy the emotional slow moments either, but in my opinion, the treasure story in UC4, far exceeds all other Uncharted games.
The way the story of Captain Avery unfolds is so carefully done, so expertly crafted with mystery and teases, and the final reveal is so enjoyable as it combines the personal story of Drake and Sam with the brilliant sense of adventure and treasure hunting.
Uncharted 2 and 3 ripped you away from their lost worlds way too fast, and played out way too similarly. Uncharted 4 is masterful in that regard as its slow, mysterious, creepy, and so visually rewarding.
I personally prefer U4. I think ND topped it in every department, especially in gameplay. The pace is still better in U2 because U4 takes its time to develop the story and characters. U2 is more straightfoward.
Damn I love this franchise
UC2's pacing was incredible, it makes you really appreciate the little moments when Nathan was in Tenzin's village ,that moment was one of my fav moments ever in a game.I just wish there wasmore moments like the ice cave,that was the best platforming section in the game.Damn that game was legendary,i need to pick up the collection to play uc2 again.
I'm the opposite I absolutely loved the settings in U4. The island and Mdagascar are just beautiful!! So many pics taken
Same, the gameplay in UC4 is a big improvement & i personally like the story more but the pacing is much better in 2 & keeps it from dragging.
I'm interested to know what difficulty level and aim assist number you guys used in uc4 ?
I turned aim assist completely off. Found it to be annoying even on low numbers. I've tried two difficulties of the game so far though.
i picked hard first so Auto Aim or whatever i believe was turned off. Or it was turned off when i went to options and i don't remember doing it personally.
Started hard
Turned off Markings( this doesn't belong in Uncharted).
No aim assist (when it is at 10, it means it is turned off right?)
No so much stealth. I would take a couple ones stealthy then spot myself to take my enemies in a stylish way. That's how I play Uncharted
Now started my Crushing playthrough
No aim assist and my first play through was on normal, currently going through my second. Need to turn on vehicle assist if there is one cause I couldn't drive the jeep for shit on the Madagascar level when you're chasing Sam.
Same here. I thought driving would have been piss easy. I was all over the place. I can't do another playthrough straight away. I'll go back and do 2&3...then go back to 4. I suck at aiming, but i'll stick to no assist.
@Cfc
Bruce made it look super easy during that E3 gameplay. I was not able to navigate through the city without crashing into everything and anything
Replies(2)As a huge fan of the series I think Uncharted 4 is the better game objectively. It does so much well all at once. Uncharted 4 has the superior storytelling, vistas, characterizations, combat sequences, and platforming sections. Among Thieves has slightly better pacing, more exciting set pieces, and more awe inspiring puzzles. Uncharted 2 has a special place in my heart, it'll always be my favorite in the series, but Uncharted 4 is objectively the best imo. It does everything right.
It's a question of objectivity vs. subjectivity. He personally likes Uncharted 2 more, but understands that Uncharted 4 is probably the better game regardless of his preference.
For instance, Final Fantasy 6 or 7 are usually considered the BEST Final Fantasy games (when looking at best game of all time lists and stuff like that) and I agree that they are probably the best FF games overall, but I personally prefer FFX for various reasons.
I agree with memorable set pieces, that's the only thing this game was missing imo. However I think it surpasses all others in environmental storytelling, puzzles, graphics, presentation, and gameplay. Just awesome, I've never been as awe inspired as I was during this game discovering what happened between Avery and his pirate captains.
The similarities are there. I think naughty Dog are just not making any drastic changes. I think if see those videos you wont find any huge change. But if u look closley, you will see that Drake's hair looks awesome and the way he moves is much more realistic.
So again the game has 11 months to go and its already looking solid.
Does this game have GOTY 2011 written over it?
I could never have anticipated that I'd say this when referring to Uncharted 2, but it looks pale in comparison to Uncharted 3!
Uncharted 3 blows Uncharted 2 away. I am surprised since ND claimed to use all the SPE's. They might have found another way to get more performance output or they optimized the hell out of the SPE's.
Looks the same?
ND never seizes to impress me :)
