Since a mod decided to close my previous thread, I guess I'll post this in here.
So I've kept away from UC4 to avoid spoilers. I had seen a screenshot of Nathan from ages ago and a glimpse of a .gif of a jeep driving part of the game. But now I've said **** it and went and watched someone play the game. I have it on order for rental so I'll get to see it first hand soon. But the video I watched is of good quality. I've also seen screenshots of the game now too. I've seen headlines written, claiming it as a 'technical masterpiece' and I'm now left wonder why?
The animation of the characters and the motion capture is nice. Excellent even. But everything else looks just good. I'm not comparing it to a game on a high end PC either. I'm keeping in mind it's running on a PS4. But even bearing that in mind, the game looks just as I'd expect a PS4 game to look. Nothing is striking me as a technical masterpiece. Particularly puzzling is the use of this term when it's almost never used by the same people to talk about other games.
It's reminding me of 'The Order 1886' getting overwhelming praise. A linear cooridor shooter with film grain, blur, letterboxed resolution and confined level design. I'm failing to see what's so special about Uncharted 4's graphics. I'd say Uncharted 3's graphics were more impressive for a PS3 game than Uncharted 4's are for a PS4 game.
I suppose this isn't the best board for an honest discussion on something like this though. But then neither is NeoGAF.
edit - oh and that motion blur. It's like 'sparingly' isn't in their vocabulary.
