Kind of depressing to me that a 5 yo game still looks(PS5 upgraded obviously) and plays better than most of the modern games. I forgot how good it was.
-
It was just way ahead of its time
ID: hv9x2xwID: hva355gYea the latest shadow of the tomb raider doesn't even come close to the uncharted series.
ID: hvbyvowNot the same but Guardians of the Galaxy was really good and gives me wicked Uncharted vibes mixed with a FF7 combat system
-
Yeah I haven't been able to put it down. The writing, action, visuals just completely on another level.
-
Does the new ps5 port for uncharted support adaptive triggers cause if they do that might tempt me into getting it
ID: hvbamerIt does.
ID: hvc20y0Yup, and haptic feedback/3d audio along with the way faster loading
ID: hvcdutrThanks for letting me know,I'm gonna have to get it now

To my mind, this is a sign of the video games maturing as an art form. Making games look, sound and play better has always been a combination of design decisions and throwing CPU/GPU cycles at the problem. But as time goes on, the balance tilts towards the former.
To pick a random example - Battlefield 1 (2016, made for PS4/Xbox One hardware) clearly looks and sounds better that either its 2018 or 2021 successors. (I think it plays better too, but that’s more subjective). Not grading on a curve ‘for its time’ better, but actual side-by-side better. Why? Simply because BF1 was made with more time and care by more capable developers.
Humans taking the time to put together striking combinations of colour, landscape, detail, depth and so on will always be more important using GPU grunt to make puddles do some fancy ray tracing thing.
Also worth mention that although Thief’s End was 5.5 years ago, two years of that have been the pandemic, which has slowed down development of games and the whole underlying tech stack a lot.

I started playing Red Dead Redemption II a few weeks ago and was equally impressed. There's so much attention to detail it outshines most other games I've played in the last decade.
-
It honestly surprised me how good it looked. Haven’t played it since launch but man, it looks absolutely gorgeous
-
Naughty Dog always pull the most from the console, it's amazing. TLoU2 on base PS4 was impressive, soon I'll play it on PS5 to see how it flies.
ID: hvceqjmApparently when they did the gameplay reveal for TLoU2 a few years back other AAA devs didn’t believe it was raw gameplay. Other devs look long and hard at Naughty Dog stuff to reverse engineer some of the amazing technical stuff they can do.

Uncharted 4 was really ahead of its time on the gameplay (these damn smooth animations) and visual side.
But for me, the problem with modern games is that many publishers are trying to make games for all the people. They rarely take the risk, or do anything that would be memorable.
Look at Valhalla, it's fun to play, yes, it looks good too, but would you care if this game didn't ever release? I doubt it.
Many publishers also wants to include LGBT for no matter what, that's why many created characters are blank as a piece of a paper.
Well written characters are crucial in making memorable games like Uncharted.
The new trilogy of Tomb Raider, it's very simillar gameplay-wise to Uncharted, but characters are so blank, and not interesting at all, that you don't really care rescuing anyone, or to even remember the story few days later.
ID: hva9pn8But for me, the problem with modern games is that many publishers are trying to make games for all the people. They rarely take the risk, or do anything that would be memorable.
I feel like many also just want to make a game as quickly and efficiently as possible. Cut corners, use the same open world formula, etc etc. Make money, then move on to the next generic game.
Ubisoft has a habit of this. Same game, different theme.
It seems that we are getting less and less developers that are in it because they are passionate about making games. Seems more like its "just a job" now.. it makes me quite sad..
ID: hvab744Exactly.
There are so few games these days, that makes you feel the true love and passion of developers, while playing the game.
ID: hvajsp5That's a big problem. The cut and paste stuff like the Ubisoft games are awful. Tbh, even the remasters were getting a lot of are bad. I guess we have Horizon coming up but I feel there's just a real lack OK true amazing games like Uncharted.
ID: hvammtqThe last of us 2 took a big risk and look how that turned out they got a lot of shit i personally loved it
ID: hva995kI played Guardians of The Galaxy too which was supposed to be a great A&A but it just lacks something and feels bland to me,its OK but nowhere near Uncharted. I feel that's like all games these days, they just lack that special ingredient that Uncharted has.
ID: hvbedxzInteresting.
Both GotG and U4 got into my all time top list, and in both games the action part was the least appealing.

You play online?
ID: hvajd4iNo.

So good that the e came before the i, and the ves became an f's.

Serious question is the ps5 version better I platted the unchated games a few months ago and would play 4 again on ps5 of there was a massive difference
ID: hvbfpuzBetter gfx, smoother. I played it when it first came out 5 years ago so kind of forgot what it went like. Almost like playing it new.
ID: hvbg5tiThank you that's all I needed to hear

Kind of feel we've been lacking a good action/adventure game like this recently . I grew up with Tomb Raider on the PS1 and that's been gone for a few years too.
