The Lost Legacy deviates further from Uncharted's linear roots

Naughty Dog is doubling down on its wide-linear approach.

I actually prefer linear gameplay. Open worlds shit me to tears nowadays; that's a young kids genre for people with lots of free time.

I think this appeals to both audiences. There's enough to explore if you want to waste some time bashing about, but you can easily tear through it if you're only it for the story.

I totally agree. Open world games have become increasingly samey in mission Structure. Gameplay may be different but when every go damn game says go here, kill this, collect this, clear out this area it's stupidly boring. MGSV was ruined becoming open world and MGS was my all time fave series until that travesty.

I actually enjoyed the open world of MGSV. A lot of room for creativity. But definitely agree it came at a cost. They sacrificed Metal Gear's whacky story in favour of what people have come to expect from AAA games.

I blame the people who constantly whined about the long cutscenes in Guns of the Patriots. I LOVED that about the series.

I'm with you Sarahnade. MGS was arguably the first cinematic 3D game which made you feel like you were playing a movie. MGS5 got rid of so much of that. I missed them epic cut scenes. People moaned about them being to long but that was part of the MGS experience.

Hopefully this Uncharted follows how UC4 did where it had a linier goal but with open areas to play the way you want to.
