SomTervo Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) From a GAF thread. All three games, remastered into one experience... Could be one of the greatest videogaming packages of all time. And, yes, as others have mentioned, the box art is so utterly insultingly bad that it must be a fake mock-up by the French website. http://www.cede.ch/fr/games/?id=29359 Edited April 9, 2015 by kenshi_ryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I don't understand why Sony keeps doing this to themselves they're just screwing over PS Now, which they've put a hefty investment in. Regardless, it'll be nice to have these games on PS4, I'll pick it up when it's dirt cheap at some point... assuming it's real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 The Uncharted games are fun enough, but I don't know why someone who's already played them once would feel compelled to do so again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah why would we want to go on an incredible adventure with charming characters and an incredible mix of parkour climbing and 3rd person shooting. That's just crazy. Plus: trophies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Because the combat is boring filler that serves only to get in the way of the exciting, adventurey, interesting parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think I'd only want to play 2 and the first half of 3 again. The combat gets pretty boring, and the parkour isn't that interesting once you've already seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 And there's way too much of the combat, it's what you spend 75% of your time doing but it just feels like an obstacle to getting to the good parts. If they released a remaster where each combat encounter was ~1/4 the length it is now I might actually be interested in replaying them.

Mr. GOH! Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Or actually redesign the game so there is an interesting variety of enemy encounters. I feel like last gen and this gen AAA games have a problem with lack of enemy variety, from enemy types to enemy tactics. Good area design can mitigate this somewhat, but it's usually not enough in the longer modern games, especially UC3. Edited April 9, 2015 by Mr. GOH!

I feel like last gen and this gen AAA games have a problem with lack of enemy variety, from enemy types to enemy tactics. Good area design can mitigate this somewhat, but it's usually not enough in the longer modern games, especially UC3. Fairly true of UC1 and 3, but as I've said elsewhere, totally completely untrue of UC2, which is like a masterclass in varied and dynamic combat encounters. I've played UC2 about 5 times through for some of the gunfights alone - same with The Last of Us. Also re enemy types, UC2 has about 7 which each have a subclass or two usually. And they are thrown at the player in phenomenally clever and unique variations. UC3 then fucks this though. Shitty enemy types and enemy designs. Only a couple of encounters save the game from being a total combat wash-out. Imho the price of re-entry would be worth it for UC2 alone - but the novelty of playing UC1-3 in a oner is a huge, huge bonus. Hopefully with UC1's graphics upped a bit. It is bloody stupid that they have all three on PS Now though. That is just plain old stupid. They cracked the egg open and got two yolks out of it then put each yolk in two separate baskets, potentially letting all the value seep out the bottom of the wicker weave so they get nothing from the basket in the end.

Thursday Next Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Do you mean "what is the point of the remaster when I can play the originals on PS Now?"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 If so the point seems obvious: PS Now has latency. Also mad stupid pricing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I fail to see the PS Now connection. Are people saying that since the 3 games are on PS Now that they shouldn't be re-releasing them? If so, I must ask what sort of crack you are smoking, and where can I obtain some.

TCP Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) From Sony's perspective, being able to play Uncharted on PS Now is a big win for the service, why would they take that away, after they've invested so much in game streaming and it's not exactly taking off.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 So the issue is that they're removing it from PS Now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 @TCP: Maybe because the service isn't taking off and they think they can make more money this way? Also, PS Now is on more devices than just PS4, and this release won't compete on any of those other platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) So the issue is that they're removing it from PS Now? @FDS: What? No. There's not an issue, it's just weird. @TME: Probably yes. PS Now is a waste of time, I wish it'd crash and burn quicker. Streaming isn't the future, cartridge based consoles are the future!!

Vecha Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Did anyone play/buy the Sega Channel(it streamed or ran trough cable...or something) where you'd pay monthly for Sega games thatd refresh with new games every month? Way ahead of it's time, but awesome. I see psNow being great for certain games. Tried dead island on it during the beta...and it'd only lag with WiFi, otherwise I couldn't tell a difference, but sure others could. I personally want it for ps1/2/3 rpg-type games. Anyways as far as this possible remaster competing?(Also, are all 3 on there?)i see it like this: those who want to own would buy it...and those who just want to pay 20 bucks and beat them all in a month(along with playing/checking out other games) would use the rental-type service. It could potentially take away customers who never played the games and would use psnow as a cheaper option...but if they buy the package, Sony gets their money anyhow....and they could get psnow down the road. As log as Sony sticks with it and keeps adding games and tweaking the servers. Edited April 11, 2015 by Vecha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I get the point, Uncharted Trilogy is a jewel in the crown of the PS Now service, and for the many people who made the perilous journey from Xbox 360 to PS4 ownership it would be their first (and only) opportunity to play the series, making it a killer app for PS Now. By offering the games on disc, there is a risk of undermining the current value of PS Now, and indeed of the entire concept: If all classics are going to get a remaster, then what is the point of a subscription service that offers you access to unremastered classics? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Do you mean "what is the point of the remaster when I can play the originals on PS Now?"? Yeah, and I was responding to TCP who put it much more succinctly, hence why I blabbed stupid metaphors. I get the point, Uncharted Trilogy is a jewel in the crown of the PS Now service, and for the many people who made the perilous journey from Xbox 360 to PS4 ownership it would be their first (and only) opportunity to play the series, making it a killer app for PS Now. By offering the games on disc, there is a risk of undermining the current value of PS Now, and indeed of the entire concept: If all classics are going to get a remaster, then what is the point of a subscription service that offers you access to unremastered classics? And there it is put even more succinctly! I suppose if you look at how people will pay for PS Now, there's not too much of an overlap. People will lay down 40-50 quid for one product: UC1-3 on disk, with upped graphics. However people who are paying monthly for PS Now's service are paying for UC1-3 but also the tens of other games on there. Like a pretty small fraction of their monthly subscription will be directly for Uncharteds 1-3. Most of the subscription cost will be for other games which they are also at liberty to enjoy. Bit of a weird way of looking at it but I can see why Sony would okay the decision to release remastered UC1-3 on disc at higher price. What has the uptake on PSNow been like anyway?

Strangelove Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Lots of people think Uncharted 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. Including me. So yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of people who want this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Is Uncharted 4 not Nathan Drake? Calling it the Nathan Drake collection is a bit misleading if he's in the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
