Participants at the PAX Prime 2015 event in Seattle were given the privilege of having a hands-on experience in playing the soon-to-be released "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection," featuring the remastered versions of the first three "Uncharted" games.
Those who had a chance to try out the reboot versions of "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves," and "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" during the recently-concluded video game convention over the weekend claimed that the games have better graphics compared to its individual original editions that were released for PlayStation 3.
Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for developing the upcoming "Uncharted" collection, managed to come up with better graphics for the already astounding visuals of the games. According to iDigital Times, there are noticeable improvements seen whenever the camera focuses on the foreground and background, while the graphics featuring the game's protagonist Nathan Drake is reportedly more impressive.
GameSpot posted a short clip showing one of the levels in "Uncharted 2" as well as an interview with Eric Monacelli, a representative from game developer Naughty Dog, conducted in the middle of the game demo.
According to Monacelli, Bluepoint Games managed to lift their inspiration for the in-game models of the game collection from the titles' cinematic models. He also said that the upcoming video game collection will come with several minor gameplay revisions, since the team that is currently working on the reboot looked for the best aiming mechanics featured in the entire franchise and used it in the upcoming collection instead of incorporating three different gameplay mechanics.
However, Engadget noted that the collection lacked motion blur, which could lessen the effect of several action-heavy scenes of the game; yet the article said that the collection is still an amazing set of games to play.
The "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection" will be released for the PlayStation 4 on Oct. 7 in Europe, while its North American release date is set on Oct. 9. The collection of the reboot editions of the previous "Uncharted" games will also come out with the multiplayer beta for the upcoming "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" which is set to come out sometime in 2016.
