The Nathan Drake Collection doesn't have a PS4 Pro patch leaving these just at 1080p60. I wonder if they're doing more robust changes to bring it up to modern standards (4K and unlocked frame rates) before bringing those three to PS5/PC.
I think the whole point is to get more people to experience the game.
Imagine making a movie and only one group of people got to see it? Pc acts like that middle ground between all the console exclusivity. Its the no mans land.
Also if I was a dev, I'd like to see it in its full glory with PC graphics and shooter controls with a mouse.
@oh give it a rest LordoftheCritics. Comparing it to movies is beyond idiotic and you do understand the point of exclusives yeah? You know experiences you can only have on a certain machine to encourage people to purchase said machine. I would never want to see Breath of the Wild on Playstation, in fact i want to buy a switch just to experience that
So you're telling me that filmmakers who make movies with stunning audiovisuals would not want their film to get an Imax level of screening? Or the best possible screening and the most reach/set of eyes for their movie? Also why cant we compare it? It is an entertainment/artistic experience.
''You know experiences you can only have on a certain machine to encourage people to purchase said machine.''
Similarly, some movies are best watched on Imax and yet they are still available to be watched on your phone as well. Does not affect Imax sales, ppl who want an Imax experience go for it. If it was Imax exclusive, that would hurt the movie sales. In TV/movies, exclusivity exists and people hate it. Apple tv, netflix, hbo, disney plus etc
''to encourage people to purchase said machine''
Yes those ppl will still buy a PS5, the pc market is a completely different budget lvl and most console gamers may not even buy into the pc market. Here the devc/publisher makes a sale on a platform that is not directly in competition with the exclusive platform they are supporting. A similar budget lvl platform release would be the problem.
"I would never want to see Breath of the Wild on Playstation"
Oh totally agree, exclusives are sacred, what makes gaming so great! It's disgusting that Alan Wake is going to be coming to PlayStation now too. KOTOR Remake console-launch-exclusive not on Xbox? Total cancer, destruction of gaming as we know it.
Final Fantasy XVI going PS exclusive is totally one-step-forward two-steps-back. It should only be on Nintendo again like the franchise originally exclusively was. At least those vile Xbox cretins aren't getting it so they'll have to spend money on another platform.
Honestly this just looked like a basic port/remaster. All they did was turn up the graphics resolution and framerate. The rest looked exactly like the PS4 version I played.
@RaidenBlack For PS4 owners the update should be free. There is nothing in the video that makes that game significantly better then when I played it on my PS4 Pro. No new content. Nothing.
People have to quit letting publishers off the hook for ports disguised as remasters. I can have an old PC, then go and buy a new PC. I can download all my games again, and play them with the new enhanced settings available on my PC for free. Same with mobile games. But for some reason some console publishers feel that they should be able to re-charge gamers to upscale the resolution and framerate of a game with minor improvements. Remedy's Alan Wake, Uncharted, Call of Duty Cold War, Madden 21, etc. all put a price on being able to run the game on both last gen and current gen hardware. I can't believe gamers fall for that.
I saw Uncharted Lost Odyssey and Alan Wake's trailer.... I'm out on both games. I loved Alan Wake and wanted to love the remaster, but frankly it was a lame attempt to update the game. I was in for it when I heard they had a remaster, but after seeing the trailer I am out.
That's what I meant to say, since the upgrades are minor, it all depends on the cost/charge. If the damage to wallet is $0, then ok ... basic port/remaster as you say, no harm done. But any more than that, it all starts to depend on PS's approach to the situation. A $10 upgrade? $20? $40? A full fat $60?
But still ... Look at what MS have been doing ... They gave Fable 1, then Fable 3 and then Fable 1 Remastered to PC gamers. Also, Gears 1, Gears 1 Remastered, Gears 4 and Gears 5. And ... Halo 1,2,3,ODST,Reach & 4 ... not 5 ... and then Infinite. ... PCMR: poker face MS: Take it or leave it. Sony: I like that idea.
Sony have already clearly stated over the last few days that their first party studios will not be providing any free upgrades from this point forward.
Yea, surprising, N4G hasn’t been taking about that, I know.
So I’m going to say it again a little slower and louder… “FROM THIS POINT FORWARD” do you understand what that means?
Sony issued a statement that HZD was the last game they will be providing a free patch/update for. Going forward from this point they will not provide any more free updates.
I wish the cross gen stuff would end. One of the several reasons is so we are not constantly hearing about and discussing free upgrades or paid upgrade paths. It is time to move on from 8th gen.
@kingpos I agree to an extent, but many more systems will be available in 21, 22, and 23. There is know legitimate reason for a company that “believes in generations” to be releasing exclusive triple AAA games across two generations 2 years after their next gen console is released.
I give it about another year before cross gen games come to an end.
Meanwhile today, September 9 2021, at Walmart Target Bestbuy Gamestop Amazon, you can't find one at msrp short of having the devil's luck while aping a restock app.
All those ps5 five games, returnal demon souls and all the other next gen exclusive games that I can't play on my PS4, alot of people will conclude.. f*** it, why bother, it's not like I'm going get one any time soon.
And that's a problem.
Nothing breeds resentment more than being left (and priced) out. (by scalpers)
PC players getting access doesn't take away from your enjoyment of the franchise. If your issue is the PS5 update being a paid one then I could see where you are coming from but in that case you wouldn't have to buy it and you could play the existing game via backwards compatibility.
You don't have too. I was waiting to replay U4 and LL since I figured there would be Ps5 version. I also have no doubt it will be free upgrade. And PC players will funding the next ND game what's there to hate.
Can you stop being obviously salty just because another group gets to play a game?
Sony acquired a company purely to make PC ports. PC people are happy to buy quality games. They're happy to buy PC ports; new or old.
Don't use it as a reason to dunk on them and try to bend logic so somehow it's still a giant win for Playstation only gamers. We both know the timing windows between Sony's releases are going to get smaller and smaller, and more and more games/series will be appearing on PC.
And let's be real; Sony hasn't exactly been great with the "free upgrades" idea as of late. They more and more are finding ways to make sure they're making a little more here and there.
Looking through a lot of ppls opinions about Uncharted via Reddit (outside of their fan page of course) many people are saying they're pretty average games.
The Uncharted games are pretty good in general. The original hasn't aged well but for the most part they are good games. The only thing that I never understood was why a certain bad guy would have so many henchmen. You can complete the game and see the stats where you killed like 1,500 dudes. Movie bad guys may have 30 to 50 henchmen working for them but in Uncharted there is just an ass load of bad guys like there is a rent an army program. I know it is just a game but I feel like they just throw way too many enemies in there but that is just a nitpick.
Most of 'those opinions' will be from people who have never played the games and simply hate anything that is popular on PlayStation.
Do you you honestly think that tens of millions of people would continue to buy each game in the series if they were average games? Were all those gaming websites and journalists in cahoots when each successive game got almost universal rave reviews?
The games were incredible when they launched, the earlier games may have aged now, but so has every other game from big franchises. The most recent games are fucking incredible experiences, full of spectacle, at times I could hardly believe what I was seeing in Uncharted 4.
Lovespuds I'm sorry but I'm certain I was talking about users from REDDIT. These opinions I read aren't from N4G, where they spout blind hate and discrimination toward another company's game series.
Secondly these tens of millions of sales were probably because ND has a loyal fan base, which ppl bought sequels/spinoff because they want more Uncharted or anything Uncharted related. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if some folks here in N4G bought two or three copies of the same game, thus why sales are so high. And for others, Uncharted 4 mightve been their first Uncharted game Maybe that's why U4 or the Uncharted collection sales were so high, because newcomers fell for the hype and wanted to see why they were seeing so many Uncharrted commercials on TV or on billboards.
Regarding your universal rave reviews, like everybody in thus planet, those critics have their own opinions based on the series. Remember when GameSpot gave U4 and TLOU an 8 and ppl thought they were haters instead of blindly loving them because well, it's ND ffs. Just like how many of the redditors say they're average games. Notice that I said "many people", not ALL of the reddit users. I've read comments saying Uncharted is an awesome series they love to play because of this, this, and this. Whereas others were disappointed in the series because of this, this, and this.
Don't fucking assume just because ND releases a new game everybody across the globe is gonna love it and consider it GOTY. Because fun fact, not everybody is going to love it, and it's not because of fanboyism. If you step outside of the fan page and N4G, there's an entirely different side of folks who believe the Uncharted series is an average shooter with its own flaws.
So no trilogy for PC?
Do people who already own these games get a free upgrade?
i wonder if it includes the multiplayer
Won't ever support this
