Uncharted 4: "Wind Physics" And Nathan Drake Character Model Screens Show The True Power Of PS4

GearNuke: "Check out the wind physics in action for Uncharted 4 and a realistic looking model of Nathan Drake."

[LordofYogurt]

Stop it Naughty Dog for the love of science the bar can't go any higher!

[ShugaCane]

As much as I love the UC franchise, I'm already thinking at what they could do with a TLOU sequel. And then I think about Joel, and Ellie, and I want to cry.

Oooooh ND, why are you so good at your job...

[nveenio]

It's about time someone's good at their job. If it can't be the government, at least it's someone in video games!

OMG, Drake was The Batman in Batman Forever

[bloop]

Same here. As much as I'm looking forward to Uncharted, just give us something on a TLOU sequel. Even just to know it's in the works.

[Wizard_King]

OMG wind physics so Nathans hair now moves more realistically (Tactically poops my pasts)

-_-

/s

Really still going to be a hallway game with a good story and weak gameplay elements. Dumb AI with infinte ammo, guns that can't be picked up, walls that you can just walk into. All the usual stuff.

Bargain bin week 12 people, bargain bin week 12, that's where all Uncharted games wind up. Save the cash buy it 2nd hand.

ND have you people eating out of their hands with a few screen shots that in all reality don't look that wow inducing. Looks like heavy rain from PS3 to me. Funny that some hair in a hallway is evidence to you lot of the PS4's power, when really it shows me how weak it really is. If it was a powerfull machine this game would be a sprawling open world full of thing to do with new gameplay elements. But its just Uncharted 3.5 with sexy hair lol.

lol true power, just lol, 30FPS is true power lolololol.

[Jason_Plays_PC]

I loved how the combat was as fluid as ever..Sliding down the mud slide into a shooting animation and then jumping across was so cool.

[Meltic]

It looks Amazing. May beat the ryse Graphics ?

[ltachiUchiha]

It will surpass Ryse in all areas. One thing for sure it will win many more awards then it. GUARANTEED. Not being a uncharted fanboi either just being, "HONEST".

[Assassingamer136]

Are you serious...Ryse? This game blows it away graphically, only thing competing against this game graphically is the order 1886

[WeAreLegion]

Killzone: Shadow Fall already looks better. Not to mention Driveclub and infamous: Second Son. Are you talking about the PC version? Because it looks better. Still not the best looking game out there though.

[bouzebbal]

since when is Ryse a graphical standard? Can you compare
this

to this?

notice that i took a screen from PSX which is a pre-alpha build far from the final result.

[ravencry]

@abzdiine lol keep the fanboysim out

http://static1.gamespot.com...

http://www.gamepur.com/file...

foliage is better than uncharted 4

even facial model is better

http://static4.gamespot.com...

uncharted 4:

compression makes it even bad but ryse and uncharted 4 are pretty close

foliage:

@ravencry

Gamingbolt called, they want their bad unrealistic comparisons based on compressed images in weird sizes back...

[tlougotg]

Ryse? lol I think given Ryse linearity games like Infamous and killzone already beat it out not only looking exing exceptional but having a more open world. As a matter of fact top dog in graphics right now isnt any of those but a racing game by the name of :Driveclub" that game looks photo realistic!

[ziggurcat]

@ravencry:

oh dear... did you take a photo of the last two images from uncharted (which are the same because you posted it twice) on your phone and then just repost them? because that's not what the game looked like at all.

and what's the matter... couldn't find a low resolution facial model of nathan drake?

i'm also pretty sure your ryse foliage sceencaps are from the PC version... abzdiine's facial screencaps are from gameplay, as well, not from tech demos.

[Clunkyd]

I think this and Driveclub beats anything else out there, visually.

[Give_me_head_strong]

Lord of Yogurt- So the bar is set at 30fps? You're funny, lol.

[-Foxtrot]

I honestly can't wait to see what Elena and Sully look like.

I hope it dosen't mean, with the inclusion of Troy Baker as Drakes brother that Elena will be getting a smaller part

Since it's most likely the last game I would of preferred it to be focused on all three just like Drakes Fortune. Elena needs to be with him from the start and sets out on the adventure with him.

[husomc]

most probably Elena is already dead

[KnownAsEpic]

why would she be dead?

[medman]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!

[PaulFiend]

Chloeeeee <3333

Dat butt tho ^_^

[Snookies12]

It's all these little details that add up to make this game look incredible. One of the best looking games so far, and it's still got a year of polish left to go.

[diepdiep]

At first, I thought the thumbnail was an actual photo...

[StormLegend]

That chest hair! Nathan looking manly!!!

[Jide]

Impressive

[Speak_da_Truth]

WOW now Sony take my money but NaughtyGods take your time.

[masterfox]

damn Drake looks like me!! yes Im that handsome but not that old!! :D

[DarkLordMalik]

Pics or I refuse to believe :P

[Godz Kastro]

Game looks OK, not what I thought. This Gen is disappointing as a whole. If this is the pinnacle of console gaming. I'm seriously dissatisfied.

[Omran]

yeah you really dissatisfied because the game didn't launch yet, and if you didn't impressed with that demo I don't know what else will satisfied you :)

[Assassingamer136]

Whats the point in even replying to him? I doubt he even owns a ps4 to play the game to begin with. "I was hoping for a reason to buy a ps4. Ok well morpheus, all eyes on u brother. #12"and "I will buy a PS4 if this turns out good. #5"

Actually never mind his comment history answers the question. He says he logged in 200 hours into Halo MCC with no problems and he logged over 100 hours into destiny yet talks shit about the graphics in uncharted, yeah....

[Snookies12]

Um, what were you expecting exactly? It's Uncharted, looking gorgeous with even better looking gameplay from its predecessors. So, basically exactly what a sequel should be. Anyway, it's early alpha, most games wouldn't look half this good at this stage.

[thanhgee]

If you're dissatisfied with the graphics of UC4, where they're in the earliest stage of the development cycle. Then really man, you've got to re-evaluate what a $349 piece of hardware can actually do.

[MasterCornholio]

The PS4 costs 399€ not 349€.

:I

Unless your talking about the Xbox One which costs 349€ at the moment

[GamingTruth]

well when comparing the 350 dollar hardware to any other gaming hardware period anything more expensive is already making me want to purchase a ps4 over them

[Rimeskeem]

You either set your bar impossibly high or are very pessimistic

[quenomamen]

Riiight ! I mean this gen is what a year and a half old and this is all they can do ?

[pivotplease]

A year and a month, but I feel like the main point of your comment ended up being undetectable sarcasm for most.

[Dyldog69]

It looks fine, considering that graphics have reached a point of diminishing returns

[pivotplease]

Not sure why there are so many disagrees. 3D graphics emerged 3 gens ago and we've seen huge advancements over the years. When we hit PS3 games like KZ2/3, Heavy Rain, GoW3, and U2/3, the games became pretty realistic looking imo. This gen is showing a nice upgrade, but we are at the point where the novelties of shiny surfaces and realistic water/weather effects are beginning to wear off. 3D gaming has evolved from its primordial stage to a point where the basics are there and we are really at a polishing phase. This gen is all about the countless little refinements and details.

Saying diminishing returns isn't a bad thing. It's just implying the changes from here on out will not always be so evident or striking (though faces could get blown off again when companies begin to work on their second and third generation PS4 games).

[Dyldog69]

Nice to see an educated and sophisticated reply on n4g?no less.

[maniac76]

Dayum,if that's not getn hit with the ugly stick,I don't know wot is lol. Great graphics toboot

[TurboGamer]

Imagine if ND was a PC exclusive developer. The one thing I notice from ND is that they focus a lot on the characters and not much on the environment. Having finished UC 2, UC 3 and TLOU (never got the chance to play UC 1), I noticed small maps and low quality textures everywhere except the characters. It seems ND are masters of misdirection.

P.S: Not bashing ND, just a observation. I have been a fan of ND games since the PS 1 days(Crash Bandicoot HD remaster anyone?)

[Pyro2000x]

I'm grade UC4 will never be on the PC, all you guys do is (Pirate & Mod)

[TurboGamer]

Pirating is pointless with all the Steam sales and since when is Modding bad? In fact modding is something console only gamers will never experience. There are a lot of developers that where hired because of mods they made.

Also *glad is the correct word.

Remember that even PC gamers respect ND for the work they do.

[MadLad]

Says the Sony cheerleader who knows nothing of PC gaming in general.
The fact that people even agree with that statement shows the bias on offer, just as it confirms you aren't the only purposely misinformed person around.

[thereapersson]

PC gamers are pretentious assholes.

[Jazzuri]

Yes that is true and I agree 100 percent.

On our projector screen it is absolutely obvious and far worse than several of the lesser praised games(visual fidelity), though I doubt those gaming on 60" inches at 4m seating would be any wiser.

All round tho still thoroughly enjoyed the UC series but graphically the FMV carries it to heights unatainable by the technology itself.

[ravencry]

yes such a shame that naughty dogs have to work with a limited hardware. they could do wonders with pc. but they are better of with consoles because i need a reason to own my ps4 right ? exclusives

[GamingTruth]

they wouldn't get the exclusive sony platform results on pc, youd have bigger worlds and better tech but the game wouldn't look like the games weve seen from naughty dog on sony platforms

[quenomamen]

The grim on those cave rocks after watching the full HD 1.7 Gig video made me want to take a shower. Yuck !

[Tzuno]

Drake looks like this guy https://www.google.ro/searc... someone at Naughty is indeed naughty.

[Lord_Frieza]

Put on beard on him he'll look like a mixture of Chuck Norris and Joel
Probably the best mixture ever

[Der_Kommandant]

The attention to detail is astonishing.

[kenwonobi]

They are gonna have the best graphics again.

[kenshiro100]

Good Lord....

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

Wow thats truly impressive!!! Man i need this game now lol!!!

[its_JEFF]

What an interesting panel ND held. It really opened up my eyes about why the character models they showed looked SO good. We may never see the ingame version look as good as those shown during the panel, not because of a downgrade but because of lighting and just the distance from the character. You might get a glimps of it in cutscenes but you may not. Good panel overall, especially if you're interested in getting into the industry or this type of work.

[isarai]

The panel also confirms that the model used in cinematics is the exact same model used during gameplay pretty much shutting down any claims of "downgrade" or "prerendered", especially seeing as how cinematics seem to be real time this time around

[n1kki6]

Can we stop the the "true power" hyperbole? Game looks great, we should all be happy. No hyperbole needed.

[Bebedora]

Good lord. They actually made the eyes as perfect as ever seen. Wow
