Uncharted 4: The Kotaku Review

For a worrisome amount of time, Uncharted 4 feels like little more than a familiar, obligatory sequel, existing the way Mario Karts and Halos do to continue bolstering one faction in the ongoing console wars. Excellent, fresh ideas for these kinds of automatic sequels are not a prerequisite.

Daaaaaaamn. How do you do this ND ?

IamTylerDurden12914d ago

Uncharted 4 is a 94 on Metacritic out of 62 reviews. Likely Game of the yr.

Livecustoms2914d ago

It would be even higher if you take in the fact some companies deliberately give low scores to get extra click... *cough VideoGamer,com *cough XD

S2Killinit2914d ago

Damn 94! That is insane considering the way the reviews have been done this gen.

Wallstreet372914d ago (Edited 2913d ago )

Whats crazy is that while devs cut huge corners, some dont include mp or/and bring the resolution down in campaign to 720/900 p ND manages to make a more open campaign at 1080p, consistent 30fps, more open, eye melting graphics and!!!!!! Add a great looking and robust mp experience.

Seriously no one is touching these guys

Majister-Ludi2914d ago

I'm sorry but 30 fps at 1080 really isn't that impressive. I actually expect more from someone like ND. Would have loved 60 fps for this game.

Wallstreet372914d ago (Edited 2914d ago )

Majister-Ludi....

Of course it isnt impressive since there are so many games out there on consoles that look as good, play as good, are as consistent and have a competent multiplayer aspect which is very good like UC4 lol

Yeah man not impressive at all /s

lol some of you guys kill me. The word is out this game has set a graphical benchmark and in regards to assets and animations even sets a benchmark including games on PC so idk what you are going on about. 60 FPS is always better obviously but it not being 60fps does not take away from its achievment and how it looks better than any game out there right now and still plays solid (by the way mp is 60fps at 900p so a part of it is 60fps)

Dirtnapstor2914d ago (Edited 2914d ago )

@ Majister-Ludi

60 fps does look impressive for some games, but it would remove the cinematic effect and feel ND has so masterfully created. Could they have pulled off 60fps? Yes, I'm sure. But I think their choice to keep it at 30 was a proper decision.

"60 fps does look impressive for some games, but it would remove the cinematic effect and feel ND has so masterfully created."

TLOU was better at 60 fps which was slower and also heavily story focused lol, we're not watching movies here.

AndrewLB2913d ago

Its still a very linear game with heavily scripted events that play out exactly the same way every time, which makes it far less replayable. Strange how so many sites in the past have criticized other games for doing this but not a word of it in regards to UC4.

And btw... the multiplayer is 900p and NOT constant 60fps.

And where are the screenshots NOT using photomode? Are reviewers being prevented from publishing them as part of an agreement to get the game before release?

Erik73572913d ago

Not devs...publishers are the one that cut corners for that dev

@Majister
Mad because its not on PC? Pathetic.

Another Kotaku ps4 exclusive review where they relentlessly try to find a reason to nitpick and detract points...Reading this review was like listening to that annoying person who is never satisfied and always complains just for the sake of being consistent, I guess....

Its like when that same person just took a bite from a Crispy Cream plain glace donut (how can you not love those?) and desperately tries to find a way to convince you it was somehow not that great when everyone knows its actually super tasty!

Lost? Ok ok ok go read the review and then read my comment again!

Well done you naughty Santa Monica dogs!

CaitSith2914d ago

They're a shit stain in the industry, I tell ya.

game4funz2914d ago

I think it was a good review. It's his opinion and you can totally tell.

This is a game to buy that what I got from it.

CaptainObvious8782914d ago

I expect nothing less from kotaku when it comes to Sony exclusives.

Pullmywaffle2914d ago

Well, do what you can to get callofdutyfan and rearden banned from this site. They're the ones that keep referring articles from that garbage site, and it's likely they're actually working for them too.

ThePope2914d ago

How dare someone have an opinion that doesn't agree with yours. Shame on them!

UltraNova2913d ago

Well I didn't expect you of all people to disagree with this particular website's opinion on U4 but hey shame on me for disagreeing with Kotaku's opinion on U4 right?

See what I did there?

Move along Mr Pope, move along buddy cause hard days are ahead for you, the best exclusive is coming out soon!

ThePope2913d ago

I don't like Kotaku either. For more than one reason. But IGN is catching hell to because they're not giving it a 10. I honestly believe the non 10s are more honest answer. The reason I say that is because games like this that are this good has some excitement and nostalgia wrapped in a score like that. No ones fault. It just is

Oh and Ultra. I own a PS4. And plan to beat R&C just in time to play UC4. Thanks though ;)

rainslacker2914d ago

Now I want a donut. But apparently that's offensive nowadays.:(

RiPPn2914d ago

I thought Hogan took all their money and they were going to have to shut down.. or maybe they are waiting on appeals?

Gaming_Since_The_80s2914d ago

Then that's when you know you're not interested in subjecting yourself to what Kotaku has to say anymore, time to move on!

mechlord2914d ago

Did they play the game this time around at least?

Germany72914d ago

That's why Kotaku and the entire Gawker media are irrelevant and a big joke.

Omegasyde2914d ago

Kotaku is ran by hipsters. AAA=uncool, indies= bestest eva.

Anyone notice these arse hat's put the game type down as 'playstation 4 bragging point' makes them sound like they planned to hate it from the start. I expect a 7 from them.

Bruh2913d ago

Except you didn't actually read the review. Kotaku is joking about how moronic fanboys will use the quality of the title as ammo for their plastic wars. They did nothing but praise the title in general. And from what I've heard from folks who played it, Sam is bland and Drake continues to build depth, which is exactly what they stated lol

The best games of their generation too. Its incredible how great most if not all of playstations games are. Whether you like the stories or not you cant deny the quality of each title.

Hated tlou part 2. But im going to buy it when it is cheap enough because i want to play the remastered content for $10 extra dollars. Theyre adding a roguelike mode...thats going to be fun!
