Bought it myself today. I haven't watched the video either, so could you tell me how the performance is?inu-kun said:
If he meant framerate then the video does state it's extremely stable, with only a couple brief mid-twenties drops during the beginning set piece, ironically. Given the expanded gameplay and detail throughout it is an impressive feat. Only some shadowing is noticeably lower quality, but still not PS3 bad.inu-kun said:
It gets a bit long in the tooth near the end though, and that ending was a bit too much. I mean, I know this is the end of the series and all, but it's Uncharted, not Lord of the Rings. The game also seems very much intent on romanticizing the shit out of foreign cultures and traveling, like we're still living in the thirties.inu-kun said:
Yeah, you'd think an army that has all these armored vehicles would have atleast one helicopter.inu-kun said:
I never really hated Drake in the previous games, but he was always a very one dimensional video character, spouting one-liners and just being cocky for the sake of it. In this game he definately has a lot more meat to his character.Xsjadoblayde said:
Naughty Dog pretty much has Nolan North and Troy Baker in a stable, ready for when they're producing a new game. And from the sound of it, the guy who played Henry in TLoU also plays the supervisor guy with the beard at the salvage company where Drake worked. Unless ofcourse I'm just being really racist.
Agreed, the brief attempts at demos for the Nathan Drake collection did put me off with solely his one-liners for me to judge him on. There is working chemistry in this game now and that couch scene had me invested quicker than anticipated. The banter during the easter egg did bring a good chuckle or two. It was an interesting contrast in how far the developer and technology has improved too!Casual Shinji said:
*Points damning finger of accusation* Closet racist!!
Anyhow, the scene with boy Nathan, i am not certain on this, but his voice actor had striking similarities to Ellie's VA. Male kids often use female VAs, so it could very well be. Also that (thief?) black lady, her name escapes me currently, seemed to be channelling Thandie Newton from Mission Impossible 2, the British accent sells it.
That's actually Laura Bailey, another regular in the voice acting circuit. And she's white and American... There was a whole controversy about it, too. I can usually pick Bailey out, but when I first saw footage of Nadine and heard her speak I didn't think nothing of it other than they got a black actress for the part. I think there's a crack in the performance once when you can really hear Bailey, but otherwise she freaking nails it.Xsjadoblayde said:
Please tell me that controversy is born from something serious like Bailey devouring a baby to get the role...the obvious guess makes me gently weep, Only just today i heard two great Nelson Mandela impressions from UK folk, no one batted an eyelid. Did not realise it was her till now. Quite some talent there! The subtleties of accent are difficult to master.Casual Shinji said:
I like the story and general feel of the series, I just don't find the actual gameplay all that satisfying. It's okay, but not great. In any case, I'm near the end now, and although I stand by my criticisms of the gunplay, the overall experience has won me over.hanselthecaretaker said:
