Kinda makes me wish they didn't show off the first half of it for the E3 demo, but I never thought that'd they be able to ramp it up even more after the bridge jump. I'm taking my time with it, savoring the little details, considering it's the last one. I'm on Chapter 14, will probably finish it on my next day off.

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I bought both GOTY versions of those games on the dirt cheap when they were in a Humble Bundle. They work fine on Steam after they ejected the Games for Windows Live crap, or at least I remember them working okay. And they look perfect. I believe these HD remasters are purely for the two new consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Already played the versions with better graphics about a year ago via a Humble Bundle for about a fiver. This is a very expensive re-release actually, and purely aimed at idiots. If you have never played them before then it's a little more easy to justify the cash grab it is, but even then I'd tell new players to just pick up the already superb originals for less than half the cost. They're readily available on at least 3 platforms. Wojo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they DO draw back a fair bit after a while, they eventually let the player just get on with playing without constant interruption. Thankfully. I had a similar problem with the last game in this regard. Cheers, good to know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play on the PC, so for that you could find saves on the internet even if you lost yours, I don't know if you can do that on a PS4. The new expansion will be played on a fully new area, so maybe you won't even need one. Have any of you listened to Uncharted 4's soundtrack? Is it any good? Is it up to par with the previous scores? I don't have access to a PS4 right now, so it will be a while before I could play the game. I'm impressed what they did graphically (both technical and art) by the videos I've watched.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Uncharted 4's score has been solid and serviceable so far. The action writing isn't as distinctive as Edmondson's, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Compared to what Jackman came up with, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Jackman's score has a few solid highlights early on, but in the last third of the game there was nothing there that grabbed my attention. Edmonson's scores had flair and color, great melodies and just a general brightness that is no where to be found in A Thief's End. We couldn't even get a proper statement of the theme.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Yeah the main theme seems to pop up like a vague ghostly apparition from time to time, but it almost seems like you're hearing things. Where Jackman excels in this instance I think is with the more tonal ambience side of things. His 'mystery unfolding' writing is pretty good.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 i suppose, I need to give it a proper listen away from the game. I do really like the trickling piano theme for Drake and Elena, though I think it might actually just be Drake's theme incredibly slowed down and on piano.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Is Uncharted 4's combat less tedious and frustrating than the other games?

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 There are many great moments but it all gets bogged down by the monotonous "filler" gameplay. It's pretty much the same battle over and over with little variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 There is less combat in 4 than in the others. But towards the end it does do the typical "game" thing and throw wave after wave of enemies at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 If you're crap at shooters there's an option in the settings which enables lock-on aiming. I've been told that was mainly added for handicapped players, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
