"It's taken nearly a year for Naughty Dog's first game to emerge on the PS3-short order for a game of this magnitude. Part of Sony's elite first-party contingent-the most influential in all the land-Naughty Dog broke altogether new ground on PlayStation with Crash Bandicoot and PS2 with the Jak & Daxter series, but could they three-peat with a game that bears no resemblance to their creature-based juggernauts? An adventure grounded in duck 'n' cover and environmental acrobatics? …Oh yeah. I consider Naughty Dog among the top five developers in the world, but even I had my doubts on this one. From the flamboyant Jak to a guy in a T-shirt… How do you build a franchise around a guy in a T-shirt?"
November 19 marks 15 years since the release of the Uncharted game that started it all.
I hope they don’t make another until the end of the ps5 lifecycle…. Show us a better jungle
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."
KeenGamer: "Which Uncharted game is the best? Uncharted is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking and consistently great franchises in gaming. For both long-time fans and newcomers to this action-adventure classic, here’s a ranking of the franchise’s four main games."
No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.
UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita
Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.
U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.
I'd rate it as the following.
1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)
2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)
3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)
4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)
I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.
uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.
I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.
I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.
Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.
is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?
lolololol no games in 2008!
Uncharted is a superb game and definitly better than 8s and 8.5s it got from GameSpot and some others.
This season, gamers should abandon reviews and try the games for themselves. Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect and Uncharted are all AAA games that should be played by every gamer.
this is really the best and most fun action game you will play all year. The fortress level was soo cool. Another great game I can't wait to show off my ps3 with!!
I'm glad this game is getting the reviews that is deserves. This game really is the best game I have ever played. I have never stopped durring a game just to view the world I'm playing in, this game although not as vast as Oblivion it the most detailed and beautiful game yet to date on a console. Just glad I own a PS3 so I got to play it and enjoy the story. Can't wait for the next game in the series.
It's about time this game gets a score it deserves. ok, it might be a 9.0 game, but the 10 makes up for gamespot's stupid review.
