![[4K] Uncharted 4 on PS4 Pro: How Much Of An Upgrade Is It?](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YsiqSUe4MhI/mqdefault.jpg)
Take note of how much the phrase "Take note" is used.
+Alex Morozov I like how he always says that because I pay more attention half the time im see tv or on my phone as well seeing these clips.
+Alex Morozov I took notes
+Alex Morozov "improve" is also a little overused
Jon was new to doing commentaries for the videos at this point. He is much more confident and well spoken now
Im taking note
Few say "its a shame doing this remasters". Well, good luck trying to tell that to those tons of PS4 gamers out there who didnt had the chance to have a ps3 last gen, and now were given the oportunity to get 3 of the best SONY PS3 exclusives from last generation that they always wanted to play? All in one disc? Come on now. Arguing against that, its just too freaking salty. Its almost as if you´re an Anti-Gaming/Gamers.
+ELmaggo10 They could just sell the original game on PS4... oh no, wait, consoles don't have backwards compatibility.
+NumbersGuy FUCK backwards compatibility most remasterd are upgrades and better
+Edgar Gomez yeah remasters make the game run better and look better. I personally love remastered versions of the best games we have played done in this quality as Uncharted have. I would love to see Driver 1&2 get a remastered version. If they dont like Uncharted remastered collection dont buy it but they need to stop telling me or others that love this remaster to not buy it. We will and they will too just giving us devine poetry here to look interesting and clever lol.
Backwards compatibility would be nice -.-
+NumbersGuy It would never be at 1080p 60fps if it had backward compatibility that argument is retarded.
2:38
Thank God they fixed that cable. I was worried that that would go overlooked in this remastering. :D
You can see how ND have gotten better and better with each game when it comes to visuals, performance etc and as well as in story telling. Outdoing themselves with each game... Look at UC1 then UC2 and so on. The games kept getting better visually as well as ran better with each game. Back in 2006-07 when UC1 was announced, no one would have believed that a game like TLOU would be even possible of looking or running on PS3 the way it did now. And mind you, the graphical jump between PS2 and PS3 with UC1 itself was huge at that time. Naughty Dog has been known to push the boundaries when it comes to the visuals for their games. And there's no doubt in my mind that they'll do exactly that yet again with the PS4.
+Md Ray The demo was sick I played it like 6 times already. I had it pre ordered before the demo but now I know these games will look great and play smooth after that demo.
Uncharted is no where near as good as the Jak series imo. Uncharted is like Indiana Jones: the game.
yeah the uncharted 4 demo was mind blowing. This is my favorite company both for single player games and multiplayer games. We can expect the last of us 2 by early or late 2017. This team makes amazing stories man I really love how dark and selfish and at the same time caring Joel told ellie they didn't need her for anything. Man that ending was deep.
@@GForceIntel lol they thought tlou 2 would be out 2017? Nice
@@MrGamelover23 haha crazy. Well it's almost here and to be honest I'm glad it wasn't out by 2017 because it wouldn't have the tech it has now.
If you play this game today (Uncharted 1 alone), in 2015, no matter if you´re a console or PC gamer, knowing that the game came out 8 years ago, ill guarantee you that youll be impressed. Even if you play the original PS3 version, you´d still be impressed at times. Pretty easy to understand why people love this game so much since the getgo.

Not for me.

For a 2007 game it was beautiful and worldly realistic. With the wax-like skin, low frame rate, screen tearing and not the greatest of optimisation, it was still so awesome back then. The reason it had all issues as stated above is because of the lack of familiarity with next-gen hardware, ND said themselves. They also stated they used about 30% of the PS3's power when making this game thinking they had 'mastered' it. Then in Uncharted 2 they were at 70% familiarity and it went up from there. Uncharted 2, 3 and The Last of Us are the peak of graphical desultory on the PS3. No Xbox or other ps game came close. And then there is the Remastered. They did all of the games justice and turned already fantastic looking games into beautiful, somewhat lifelike looking games. Grats to both companies. Take note every game Dev who chooses to 'Remaster'
Rockstar missed this memo
i wish bluepoint games had been hired to do the arkham remastered games... maybe they wouldn't look like crap
What's wrong with Arkham remastered?
@@Fey-ml6qs It trampled on the original's art direction in favor of an ever present green tint
I liked the Return to Arkham collection quite a bit, but I will say Nathan Drake Collection has it beat. 60fps for all games for improved graphics/textures all around as opposed to 30fps with some improved and some looking worse
I am playing this game now for the first time, on PS3 - and I am amazed
how well this game has held up. Released in 2007 and still looks damn
good even on PS3!
Three years later and it still looks amazing.
@@foxhoundbridges4851 3 weeks later it still looks amazing
Revan Marek game design is fucking ass tho
U might wanna look at gta 4...
lukinjo123 it was released in 2008 lol what u saying
This is how a comparison video is done. Awesome!
The wait is hard man. I can't wait to play these games again.
+KrazyBean14 I can't wait to play this the 9th disgaea 5 the 6th and battlefront beta the 8th. Going to be an awesome month of gaming to bad I can't get my hands on any of them games till next week.
+KrazyBean14 turn on your ps3 and have fun for free or go buy all 3 for less than 30 bucks on the ps3 online or at a pawn shop. these changes are extremely minor. so minor that this guy narrating goes out of his way to fine tooth come point out the minor changes. it's not enough to merit a repurchase. and the multiplayer has been striped!!! not even slightly excusable.
str8jaber 1) I really don't care about the multiplayer to be completely honest. I don't even want the Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta code which comes with this game. I doubt people will even play they multiplayer for 2 and 3 anymore when 4 comes out.
2) 60fps is more than enough for me to get this, it makes a massive difference to gameplay. Combine that with the gameplay tweaks to Uncharted 1 and the fact that you play it with the vastly superior Dualshock 4 and it seems to make the game way more fun to play (Uncharted 1 hasn't aged well at all IMO).
3) Yes the graphical enhancements aren't that huge of a leap for 2 and 3 but it definitely helps 1 a lot, not to mention that the crappy screen tearing and super long texture loading for 1 is completely removed in this version.
These changes aren't negligible, so I think what I will do is trade in the PS3 copies I have and get the superior version at a reduced price. It also saves me space and time since all 3 games are on one disk and on the PS4 as well.
***** Id rather pay more and get 1080p 60fps. I sold my ps3 anyways after seeing how lousy my 720p games looked next to my ps4 1080p games it was gone fast after that.
this remaster is only good for those who've never played the uncharted series ever. for anyone who has, it's more of a port than anything. i just wish they would've did their greatest ip some justice and redid it from the ground up using every resource that the ps4 could've provided. but they didn't! they did the bare minimum just like sony's been doing this entire generation. slap 1080p and maybe 60fps on a game and resale you the same game that you already own. then rise and repeat. this got old very quick with me. the order 1886 flopped, but i gave them massive credit for doing that game because they actually tried to give the consumers a real nextgen experience. blood born isn't my style of game, but i gave them credit for the same. effort is what im getting at, and the same type of effort (or more) should be applied to their greatest ip. not this brainwashed 10800p crap and maybe 60fps while stripping away features. some would say that it was stripped to hit certain achievements (1080p/60fps/ or 60fps on on 3 games)
Nice video covered quite a lot of details.
+VariantAEC These guys are awesome idk how long they been around but I only sub to them about a month ago because I did not know about them.
+jesse dupere Indeed they're great, and they've been on youtube for quite some time
this is how you remaster a game, not like that horrendous gears of war 30fps piece of shit
+EVEmasta lol Meanwhile Uncharted looks the same as the PS3 versions. Piece of shit just like God of war 3. Graphics of Uncharted look the same but with MISSING content like the MP/ online & sony is charging you FULL price lol. Suckers. Stay sparse sony fanboy with your PORT of uncharted and a VITA port this holiday. Piece of shit lol
+EVEmasta this is awful.
+EVEmasta the 30fps might be a bummer but the actual remaster is not half assed at all!. new engine, new cutscenes etc. you're being to harsh
while uncharted runs at 60 and just looks better (as it should)
I got my laugh with all your pathetic damage control lol, you guys made my night xbone fanboys
EVEmasta
I don't even have a current gen console...
we want to see more long in-depth analysis video like this DF.
I'm liking these videos, DF. Thanks for all your work.
+Simon Stewart There needs to be more comments like yours.
Digital Foundry, thank you so much for your work. Great Job again !
I never realised how good the remaster is done until this video. Great video!
Nice, only 5 days left!
Also great work on the analysis lately, keep it up!
Love the uncharted theme song.
I get kinda emotional when he says "Really, a lot has changed" and then the uncharted soundtrack follows after.
There is some areas where lighting could have been better. I think adding the triangle button prompt to grab the rope to enter the plane and after climbing the tower would help the flow of the game since you press triangle to interact with everything else
this a great format, hope you continue it!
I dont know why but no matter how many times I see these videos i just keep rewatching. Is it to feel nostalgia to an easier and better time? Or is it that I miss the Uncharted hype? Id love a Remake with Bruce and Amy .
I had to try playing uncharted 3 on PS3 again, just to see how it feels after the remaster. To my surprise I just had to keep on playing the old version. It has its own unique charm and nostalgia to it.
Excellent comparison, once again, thank you for the informative review.
I remember playing this game for the 1st time on PS3, it was mind-blowing. It's probably still is...
Nostalgia goggles. I played 3 as a kid on PS3 and it blew my mind. Finally played 1 on PS4 this month and... it is underwhelming. Still loads of fun but not great by any means. Then I loaded up Uncharted 2 for the first time a few days ago. THAT is mind-blowing and holds up very well today.
Great video! Very in-depth and informative.
Pre-ordered it long time ago and my game has been dispatched. Can't wait! But they should have included Golden Abyss too.
Amazing work DF, just amazing
Bluepoint Games puts so much efforts in every remake/remaster. Such a great team.
Good job guys.. Love knowing what runs behind awesome games!! Cant wait for more! :D
I’ll never forget getting my BC Fatboy PS3 in 07’ and playing this game immediately, on my 50” 720p DLP. I miss that TV. Games looked incredible on it, very sharp, yet it had a smoothness to the lighting and textures. The graphical jump from PS2 to PS3 was enormous. Glad I get to enjoy these games today with my kids on PS4. They love to watch me play the Uncharted games. I let them try and figure out the physical puzzles.
I have Uncharted 4, and haven’t played it, or part 3 yet. Still working my way through part 2 right now.
Got to 4 yet?
These videos on the Nathan Drake Collection has officially made me preorder this collection. Thank you guys for these videos.
...Now THAT'S an in-depth video.
I can literally play this game over and over, finished it 2 times on PS3 and 1 on PS4 , cant wait to play it again : )
You bet! For me also, it was the only game I ever remember to have finished 2 times on PS3! Is hard to say, I liked more than 2 or 3. I guess is more magical? Or maybe is the combat that was harder and therefore more fun. Uncharted 3 felt too automatic, combat felt more automatized, but on 1 you had to do the combos yourself, etc.
@@nashismox3 I think I played 2 or 3 times to get the platinum trophy, only game I have ever replayed fully. It came with the PS3 and I was lucky I got to experience it. Didn't eveb bother playing it in Uncharted Drake Collection because the game's campaign is still vivid in my mind 10+ years later.
if people want to spend their money on remastered games it's their choice. I personally never get tired of the uncharted franchise and will be buying this again
Very nice and detailed comparison.
keep a good work, nice.., when exactly uncharted 4 released?
This seems like one of those remasters that at face value, you don't really see much of a difference (besides framerate). But upon closer look, like in this video, you really see all of the small changes that they made. It's pretty impressive.
3:09 Elena was much more beautiful and realistic on PS3 then PS4 :/
That is true and when they are on the back of the jet-ski.
Wow digitalfoundry !! U guys work really hard. very impressive
It's interesting how remasters often tend to dilute some of the strong artistic choices in the original game. BluePoint did an amazing job with this one but they seem to have chosen to make the lighting more even and thus less dramatic in a number of scenes. The high contrast jungles were part of what made the first game look so striking so it's a shame to see the effect minimized. It also seems like the lighting in some scenes is not as warm as they were in the original. Minor quibbles for a great port but it seems like other developers often play it a bit more safe when it comes to the look of a game.
good point. but we will never know if the original way with "low-profile" lighting was artistic choice or actually due to technical limitation. But I do agree, I'd rather the original game with the more dramatic and contrast lighting.
The Nvidia based Nv47 GPU in PS3, the RSX custom is capable of rendering a featured that Nvidia's hype machine termed "Super Shadow" which originally iirc showed up on the Nv30 aka GeForce 5800 as a selling point for then Doom 3 and Doom 3 RoE.
Iirc Nvidia's Super Shadow was (without looking it up) was capable of rendering a more accurate Shadow effect along with the use of lighting like with how old Doom 3 (which ironically was really demoed way back in 2002 and leaked (or was it 2001?) And basically the entire point wad of using darkness and shadows to further add depth, atmosphere, and the terror factor in a firefight... or at least that was the potential as most PC gamers even back then tended to CHEAT by disabling "Stencil Shadow" effects calculations which in multi player online revealed unfair cheaters as you could not hide In a dark spot in Return to Castle Wolfenstein for example, rendering the feature a joke...
It didn't help that Id Software was over hyping the crap out of Doom 3 and their engine only to find out that their so called complex Shadow systems just could not handle... something or perhaps sloppy coding and they produced an online mode which intentionally limited maps to four player afairs which is a lower number and implied that because of the dark shadows that player encounters would be more intense...
Which is a half truth as most online fps and third person shooter games intentionally CHEAT the player from having advanced dark Shadow calculations for a closer to true night time like lighting and darkness and shadows... thus if you're playing a game in a "night mission" and you can see everything, that is pure crap because it's like fearing the casual gamers being terrorized from the harsh reality that in a realistic night battle, even a flashlight has to be used extremely carefully.
Thus Nvidia's Super Shadow tech was supposed to accelerate the darkness and shadow calculations and possibly enable fully volumetric Shadow rendering depending on the skills of the game developer and the original Uncharted games were definitely playing with this capability but using custom programming, TLOU and Capcom's Dragon's Dogma also approximated these darkness and lighting scenes which could show some dazzling lighting during darkness fire fights or Magick spell casting and effects which added a freaky and terror like atmosphere in the games.
I feel that Blue Point Games kinda made a trade off because this wad conversation to PS4 which despite being more powerful on paper, is AMD hardware and although higher volumetric shadows and lighting effects could be replicated... that was probably too much extra work when you factor that on PS4 Pro the game is targeting full 4K... even if it's a conversion to a PS3 hardware game.
@@apollosungod2819 good analysis but it is not targetting 4k on any platform, unfortunately. 1080p only.
wow. usually these remasters are just 1080p 60fps, with better lighting. I am impressed by how they remade some of the models.
Awesome work Bluepoint! I'll gladly replay the trilogy again on PS4.
Now that Sony, is a remaster.
usually remaster dont really impress me much but this, WOW! fucking amazing i want to buy a PS4 just for this game
Thanks for the Vidio dude
I apreciate it
2019..... And I just beat this game again, I'm beating all of them again.
2020, and starting them. Never played the first 3, but beat 4 when it came out.
@@Jason_Van_Stone You're in for a ride 👌🏾👍🏽
Great work guys.
the water effects and flashlight lighting in this hd collection somehow seem better then the ones in uncharted 4
+DigitalFoundry you could experiment with the 940m video card? I need to see this test because I will buy one nootbook tanks :)
OK so I'm just done re-playing Drake's Fortune via this collection and I'll admit the work done on UDF is very impressive - Nate's face looks great, all the character models are better, all the blur from post effects is removed meaning the entire game just looks cleaner all round, re-done and animated explosions, new lighting effects and flashlight effects. Smoother textures for the U-Boat and come of the interiors are cleaner then the original. Most of the skyboxes are re-doe with better lighting and higher quality artwork. Zero texture pop in or load glitches. No Jaggies. Smooth 60 fps & 1080p is glorious!
Here's what DF forgot to mention : The glistening Bump-mapped textures in the 'Treasure Vault' are entirely missing... they are now flat textures with no bump maps or shine to them... sad I really wanted to see that part looking amazing... better on PS3 there! Same with those bump mapped windows in the bunker, they look flat now... the plants and foliage have missing/toned down spectral effects, the cliffside where Nate uses vines to swing on is now tinted green - it looks alittle sickly in the re-master as it was originally white to match the Fort colour. The water room where Nate's ambushed is WAY too dark to see anything, the ending skybox and boat scenes still look ridiculous! Although there's better cloth physics in the re-master. You really see the cartoony vibe they had in the first game with the re-done assets and graphics, never realised that before.
All in all 95% improved and that last 5% still looking meh... Good effort though!
looks great. I am picking up my pre-order on Friday.
RIP missing effects. So close to perfection......... and yet here we are.
Great comparison, actually showing real differences!
The graphics are clearer and more detailed on the PS4 version but for some reason, I really like colour and contrast of the original ps3 version.
From what ive seen most games that where on both ps3 n ps4 are like computer on low settings n computer on high settings..i see nothin wrong with the ps3 graphics. Ps3 to ps4 was not as big of leap as ps2 was too ps3.yes ps4 is better graphically..wii u is very very lil difffrence over ps3 n xbox 360..but ps4 is a bigger jump.
I'm playing it on PS4 and i started chapter 4 (Plane Wrecked) and the floor graphics took almost a minute to load in and the title screen music stayed in
Hey you guys made some awesome job with this comparison. So much detailed and well researched. Hope you guys keep this kind of video format.
Does anyone know if the re-mastered version supports tessellation? Or was all that geometry actually swapped?
The thing that stood out to me the most is the improvement on Nathan's face. They somehow (more or less) managed to take Nate's head from Uncharted 3 and put in onto his Uncharted 1 model. Impresseive.
You can tell Bluepoint specialise in remasters and remakes exclusively.
The ps4 version seems to be missing the specular effects of the original. I played the demo last night and was wondering why it looked so flat, then watched comparison videos this morning and confirmed it. The specularity on the materials is largely missing. very weird. Also, Drakes clothes dont seem to have the "wet" effect of the original. To see missing specular action, go to 1:50 in the video and look at the fern by the log. that is just one example.
+thomas shaw ok, I see it is sort of a scene by scene thing. Still I do prefer the harder spectral quality and the darker contrast. Everything just looks too soft now and sort of cartoony.
I thought, that explosion looks better, then i realized i was looking at the ps3 version, lol.
Never played the original game, but after playing this collection, first game is my favourite in the series.
At the time if it's release, Uncharted had some of the best visuals around. Sure today you'll see the aged look, but that is true for every game released at that time.
Did anyone else notice drakes shirt moving with his body, not many games have that, and for the ps3 version back in 2007 to have detail like that is astounding, seriously though for 2007 this shit was advanced looking at the time.
***** Of course I have, but cloth physics in crysis werent as advanced, but the sandbox engine with the visuals at that time were amazing and still are, im just stating a console game from that time to have something not even most modern games have with realistic cloth movement on the characters body is impressive.
Everything looks better now, but i miss those wet stones everywhere. Seems like they have dried them during remaster.
Got the Nathan Drake Collection this christmas, haven't played it yet though.
Man I don’t know there’s just something about 30fps that seems more “special” even “magical. Like watching the jeep chase scene and jumping the bridge it’s like the smoothness of the 60fps kills the atmosphere and doesn’t seem as fantastical than the 30fps. Not sure why that is but the smoothness seems to be killing the feeling of the game. Some times “real” isn’t what the experience needs
grapefruit explosion ? sounds refreshing!
Is it just me or did they tighten up the FOV a little bit in the remaster? Or am I just imagining things again hehe. =)
Wow look at this,I've both ps3 and ps4 but never played any version of this game yet,so now is the perfect time to play the first three series of Uncharted
NG really preserved this game well with this rematser, I couldn't play Uc1 after starting off with uc2 lol. So this was a treat, and the biggest leap imo
Could you imagine if Bluepoint did the Silent Hill remaster.
Not trying to take away from it, but the remaster lacks a certain visual flavor of the original. While I'd definitely rather play it than the PS3 original (especially with 60fps), the whole remaster is brightly and flatly lit for my taste. The original had a nice high contrast that I visually dig a lot more. Glad they fixed the shimmery plastic look of the characters though!
To be honest, I like the water shader from the PS3 version better.
Apart from that, everything is better. Nathan Drake doesn't look like he's made of plastic anymore, although some may miss that slightly cartoon look. The colours are less vibrant in the remaster, and Drake's eyes are oddly coloured.
Great to know that Bluepoint has improved the overall aspect of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune being more polished this time.
Next up, comparison between PS3 & PS4 versions of Uncharted 2 & 3.
ps4 is my first sony console. missed these games last gen. so thankful that they're re-releasing them for me to enjoy.
Can you shoot while piloting the Jet ski?
Surprised how much they updated the textures
good job DF
the original UC was a tour de force and a surprise of how, taken seriously, was a reminder that a game could provide a near movie like experience. At that time, the visuals were phenomenal, and was that gen's "Metal Gear Solid"
Uncharted collection and uncharted 4 are on sale right now. picked them up for a total of $28. let's hope I'm not disappointed
Loved this game on the PS3, and loved replaying it on the PS4 with the higher frame rate, higher resolution, and improved textures, lighting etc. The PS4 remaster was done very well and made the experience of playing through the game more enjoyable then it was on the PS3 which was already very enjoyable as it was.
How has the aiming changed and does that count for all 3 games?
It is way, way smoother and more precise. Especially in Uncharted 1.
The slow texture loading is now present on PS4 but on Uncharted 4
Now this is how hoy make a good comparison vídeo!
remastered seems to be much more colourful than the last gen
Its actually weird how the Jet Ski in the PS4 version doesn't create a splash when he turns sharply. Other than that the 60 fps and 1080p looks nice.
This series means so much to me. Brilliant games.
More memorable than Crysis for sure.
missed out on p3 but U4 I got on P4 and have a demo of earlier games.
Finally sitting down to play the entire series for the first time and starting with 1, hoping to enjoy it as much as everyone else has throughout the years
How did you like it?
Amazing i might buy this game for this great effort since i never played uncharted 1
would like to see this done for mass effect
👀👀👀
Im here after download the game!
2020 your welcome!
HOW MANY VIDEOS CAN THEY MAKE ON THIS
This game brings many memories
I really want to see, all these three games with the graphics of the 4.
4:12 a shame they changed the color of Elena’s scuba suit tho ;D
just too many notes to take
8/10 -IGN
I thought and I still think to this day the ps3 version is magnificent, if u look at certain games that came out right after or a couple years after this game like assassin's creed 3 or Spider-Man it does an amazing job with graphics voice equaling mouth movement textures and much more naughty dog did a great job at the start.
