When you think about the various things that make up one of the games in the Uncharted series, what do you come up with? For me, the checklist includes the basics, like low-risk climbing sequences and standard cover-based gunplay. Then you've got Nathan Drake, lovable scamp that he is, cracking wise and such. Set him in a treasure hunting adventure with pseudo-historical references, surround him with a lady or two, and mix in at least two double-crosses because Drake can be a bit of a simp. Then, break up the climbing and shooting with a few puzzles. Oh, and don't forget to lay in a few huge, cinematic "set-piece" moments that are driven by the developer's technical mastery of the hardware at hand. That's sort of the thing that holds all the rest of it together, right?
A relic of its time or a buried treasure from the past?
I was really hoping this would have made it into one of the collections. Like how they did with the GoW PSP games.
I loved this game. It was like an extension of the first one. Why haven't we gotten an HD release yet?
Sony should have tried harder to support the Vita. It ended up just a solid emulation machine that happens to have a handful of classics.
I really like Uncharted:Golden Abyss on ps vita it would be dope if they remaster it for PlayStation 5
As we come to the end of 2021, let's take a look back as we celebrate many anniversaries that are up and coming next year.
Uncharted Golden Abyss originally pitch had plans for a "Mafia Wars" like multiplayer, and its original expected budget was at $13.5 million.
I remember buying this and the Vita day one in 2012. That was almost ten years ago, damn.
Glad to see this was reviewed honestly by a journalist who was top of his class. /s
Point of the review:
1. It's not as good as a AAA console title marketed by millions and a studio familiar with the series for years who have mastered the highest tech of console this gen.
I mean give Bend some credit. The game is bringing it back to the roots of exploration and just a solid single player experience. For a launch line up, it's still better than a majority of titles that came out on the big HD systems this year.
It's a great game but having completed it I don't think many people will enjoy playing it on the move. If you're gonna sit at home and play it then you're better off with the ps3 games for sure on the big screen. Bend really did a great job but I'm not convinced that it's a great handheld.. Experience?
3/5
Here comes the shitstorm.....
Double standards much.
.
Nintendo can put out Mario and Zelda on their handhelds and reviewers don't compare them with their CONSOLE counterparts.
.
My question to the reviewer would be...
.
What HANDHELD game compares to Uncharted: Golden Abyss?
.
Yeah I thought so.
.
If the game was coming out for PS3 I would agree with the review, but its not, its coming
out on a handheld. Uncharted running on a handheld is amazing.
