If you get stuck, a “hint” eventually appears (the Up button on the D-pad) to tell you where to go next. In fact, if you go off the trail, you are rewarded periodically with treasure loot. You don’t always have to follow the linear path that takes you right through the enemies. It’s a third-person shooter, but the maps are pretty large. The facial animations of the characters and motion capture are also top-notch as the characters really do look like real people. You should also kick back and admire the views of the landscapes as the draw distances are huge and the scenery if beautiful. You don’t have to find every treasure on the island, but you don’t want to miss the major plot points or the really cinematic moments, which will remind you of Indiana Jones movies. Uncharted 4’s story goes to the heart of the choice we all make from safe, boring lives or ones with more adventure and excitement. It sets up a palpable tension between Sam, Nathan, and Elena - who are some of the most interesting characters created in video games. There’s a good story that goes with it, and the story in the new game is the best one yet. The fun of Uncharted isn’t just in the shooting or solving puzzles. That may seem confusing, but it lets you get a feel for the characters. Then it jumps to the past, moves forward, flashes back in time, and eventually gets to the present. It starts with a speed boat battle in the middle of a storm. Come for the gameplay, stay for the storyĪ Thief’s End takes place across 22 chapters. Sully joins in, and eventually Nathan has to deal with deceiving Elena. But Sam shows up and pulls Nathan away for one last adventure.
Nathan and Elena are married and lead a boring life. The game traces their early years, their work together as treasure hunters, and their reunion after Nathan mistakenly believes that Sam was killed in a Mexican prison 15 years earlier. In Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, we learn that Nathan Drake has an older brother, Sam. The gameplay got a little repetitive, but it was a big game with lots of cinematic moments, like Drake jumping off a flaming cargo plane. The journey takes them to a medieval French chateau, a Syrian citadel (which has now been destroyed in the Syrian Civil War), Yemen, and the lost city itself. Drake and Sully search for a mystical city, Iram of the Pillars, while competing with a shadowy organization run by villain Katherine Marlowe.
Uncharted 4 boring ps3#
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception came out on the PS3 in 2011. The heroes try to find the lost city of Shambhala in a race against mercenaries such as villain Zoran Lazarević.
When Elena meets Chloe for the first time, she quips, “I’m Elena, last year’s model.” The game introduced cinematic moments, like when Drake hangs off the end of a derailed train, hanging over an abyss, and when an attack helicopter tries to shoot him off a moving train. But a new thief, Chloe Frazer, competes for Drake’s affections. The story once again follows Nathan Drake and his old friends Sully and Elena. The game represented a big step up in the quality of the graphics, gameplay, and story. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves debuted on the PS3 in 2009.
