GameInformer - February Cover Revealed Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6rpOoSIcAEK9F0.jpg:large

- - - Updated - - -

Uncharted 4 Game Informer preview details

- Porting TLOU to PS4 helped Uncharted 4 development

- Small team working on it since U3 development ended, half the team moved to U4 after TLOU and the rest after Left Behind

- Takes places 3 years after U3

- At the start of U4 Drake is living an happy life with Elena, then Sam appears

- Drake thought Sam was dead

- Sam life depends on him finding an artifact from Henry Avery

- Drake feels indebted of his brother and he can't resist getting back on treasure hunting

- Story takes Drake and Sam to Libertalia "a mythic Madagascar colony purportedly founded by pirates"

- Says you're not going to spend the whole game on the island, teases snowy and urban enviroments

- Two rival hunters, Rafe and Nadine

- Rafe is a very different treasure hunter than Drake, with different morale and approach

- Nadine owns a private military company in South Africa

- Villains will play a bigger role this time

- "The lack of Sam being in Nathan life for so long is what's driven him in the last games"

- Sam is five years older than Drake

- Teases Elena and Sully

- Sam is even more reckless than Drake

- Sam is jealous of Drake, sees him as the 'better at everything little brother'

- Lots of rivalry between them

- ND didn't want to talk about Drake and Sam past

- Artifacts (collectibles) may contain notes poiting to more treasures/artifacts

- Enemies can grab your leg if you try to push them over ledges

- More tools besides Rope and Piton (metal spike)

- They're not ready to talk about them yet

- Wants to incorporate the tools into puzzles

- GI saw an extended demo with a new scene. Drake is beaten down while Sam is rested, they start arguing the existance of Avery secret, then something catches Drake's eye, he moves forward, pull some foliage, revealing a gray monument with a carving.

- Focusing on navigational freedom for this entry

- Showed multiple paths, one finding an extra cave, other bypassing a group of enemies

- Plenty of side stories if you're looking for them

- In the demo they showed Drake taking a more riskier climbing route, that almost makes him fall in the sea

- All paths have consequences, there's no "Golden path"

- Rehauled A.I system

- Compared Sam A.I to Ellie, but says Sam is a grown up treasure hunter, so he's much stronger than Ellie

- Trying to "explore what it's like to be with somebody as capable of Nathan Drake"

- Not giving a straight answer if this is Drake last adventure

- Still plenty of humour in the game

- Concept of set piece is "What's something impactful that we can do to switch expectations and how can we have it emotionally charged?"

......

[*]There are 60 different animations just of Drake picking up objects.

[*]Talk a lot about how weight distribution plays a big role in the animations

[*]You can attack enemies from all sides with unique animations to them, you wont magically warp in front of them if you punch.

[*]Lots of talk from Druckman on the cost of adventuring on Drake's life, it will be a major focus of the story. Compares his addiction to treasure hunting to a drug addict.

[*]All the new items they added were chosen cause it can help keep the pacing and gives you a better sense of exploration and adventure.

[*]Cutscenes are now all real time

[*]Tools will be used to enhance traversal and puzzle solving

[*]They said the large puzzle rooms from Uncharted 3 will still be there, they say U3 had the best puzzles of the series and they want to build on that.

Can't wait for this, Wither 3 & Dying Light..so many good games coming up

[babu 261]

Looks outstanding. I just hope my PC can handle this game on low settings.

I have to play the first and second again. It's been a while.

This surely could be game of the year. Greatest of all time, possibly?

The Witcher series has some mesmerizing narrative that is rarely seen elsewhere. The fact that CD Projekt Red are retaining that aspect whilse introducing more open world elements into this next game is ever so alluring. Bags of confidence that they can pull it off, easily.

It's a shame they had to push the release date from Feburary to May, but if they need the time to stitch it together then fair enough.

Been waiting for this for a while now Only game i was interested in for this year together with the Witcher.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Any good games coming out for PS4 soon? Been kind of jealous of Xbox One lately and their exclusives. :/

[bethos1 802]

Loving Halo 5, the SP was a bit short but a lot of fun and the MP is insanely good. Best shooter for a console in a long long time.

The only recent big Xbox One exclusive is Quantun Break, that is not even released yet. Tomb Raider is only exclusive for now, and thats a good thing for PS4 users, because in some months they probably will release a definitive version of it, inclusing all DLCs that Xbox One users will pay for.

Good call on Tomb Raider. Really looking forward to it next year, the last one was great
