    Uncharted series

    I'm sort of in between Sam's idea and Don's idea. Play through Uncharted 1, 2, and 3 to get the story and see the games, but do so on the easiest difficulty. I don't get the appeal of playing an open-world or 3rd person action game on a hard difficulty. If it's an amazing game and you want to...

    I didn't know Best Buy price matched Amazon Prime prices. That is very interesting... I got it at GameStop because I had a $30 gift card. Got about 2 hours into it, part way into chapter 4. This is really feeling like a send-off for the series and Drake, but its good so far.

    Uncharted series

    It's rocking a 94 on Metacritic right now, so... My plan is to pick it up on my way home from work today. Probably won't get to play a lot this week, or maybe even this weekend, but I'm fine with paying full price for an Uncharted game so I'll get it at release.

    Technically, your version of "free" is really "$50 a year." And that's "if" it happens, not necessarily "when".

    You can get it preordered or within 2 weeks after release from Amazon and get it for 20% off if you have Prime. That way its $48 at launch.

    Uncharted series

    Uncharted 4 reviews are out today. Currently running a 94 on Metacritic with 60+ reviews. I was going to put off a purchase for a little bit and try to get it cheaper, but I may cave.

    Uncharted series

    Bioware or EA (not sure who has the rights, didn't they co-publish or something?) has stated multiple times that a Mass Effect trilogy isn't happening, but who knows for certain. A Bioshock collection is supposedly being made right now. I think Amazon or some other site accidentally leaked it...

    I just read that there is, in fact, a day 1 patch for The Nathan Drake Collection. However, it is described as tweaks and stability updates, nothing substantial.

    I think there are certain times when you can play online without a PS+ subscription, but they're limited events. I haven't seen if the Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta is one of them.

    Uncharted series

    Halo: MCC had Halo 1 Anniversary Edition, Halo 2 Anniversary Edition, Halo 3, and Halo 4 on one disc. You could play through all 4 games without having to download the patch. Just about the entirety of the online multiplayer component, which requires an internet connection to use (thus, it's...

    Uncharted series

    The only reason Halo: MCC got a huge patch on day 1 was because the features included in the patch required an internet connection to be used. Plus, that collection had 4 full games (including anniversary editions of 2 games) in addition to all of the multiplayer content from all 4 games. I...

    Uncharted series

    I've only seen 1 source that says anything about how many discs the games will come on that isn't just forum speculation. And that 1 source says one disc. I know Halo MCC didn't have ODST on day 1. It also wasn't 70 GB on day 1. What I was commenting on was that the full install size of the...

    Uncharted series

    Halo 1, 2, 3, and 4 were on the single bluray disc. The downloaded data was for multiplayer and ODST (if you qualified to get it). I believe they're using the same engine to run all 3 games and they're sharing assets, too. Removing the 3D cutscenes and then possibly rendering some cutscenes...

    Uncharted series

    There's no 3D or multiplayer in any of the games, so there's a huge amount of space saved right off the bat. The Sony PlayStation Blog said that the character skins from all of the games are available to use in each game, like Donut Drake. This suggests to me that they may be trying to use the...

    Uncharted series

    The PS3 has a very different architecture from the PS4, so that alone requires a pretty significant effort. The Last of Us used a later version of the same game engine that was used on the Uncharted games (which itself improved from game to game) so a good portion of the work and knowledge is...

    Uncharted series

    If they were to port Uncharted 1-3 onto the PS4, they would have been working on it for a while already. It's not as simple as just running some code to make it work on the PS4. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this, but there would be more rumors about it. Before The Last of Us or GTAV...

    I got the impression that Ubisoft kind of dropped the ball with everything this year except Far Cry 4. Watch Dogs fell into the same category as Destiny: an overly hyped 7/10.

    Uncharted series

    I played and enjoyed Arkham Asylum, City, Origins, and Blackgate. The fighting system is great, the side missions are a lot of fun, the stories were pretty good (especially Origins, actually), but honestly there's really little left to add to the formula. This may be an example of a franchise...

    I actually think the new Batman might suck. The big delays of Arkham Knight and their push on "better graphics and the batmobile!" doesn't inspire much confidence. I think they've probably done all they can do with the property at this point.
