Uncharted 4 sells 66% more than Uncharted 3

UK first sales just released, sold 66% more than UC3, and likely doubled it when digital is included. It also sold more than RotTR and Halo 5 combined.

What went so right?

>What went so right?

Everything.

Good honestly, it's the best uncharted game.

The PS4 being the best selling console of this generation by far.

That's a big audience they have to buy into it. Even if they didn't play 1-3.

The game is fucking fun and looks absolutely cutting edge for a $300 console to be honest. Well deserved

I love how Sup Forums's opinion of this game did an about-face once it finally came out and people finally played it

Why do sonnigers like to spout their sales numbers so much?
Yeah, Skyrim also sold a lot, but that doesn't mean it's a good game

In UK, not worldwide

Kudos to them. I'm liking the game a lot more than I thought I would.

I still prefer 2, its hard to top it honestly

Except Uncharted 4 is a good game you butthurt manchild

for me it was the other way around.
i liked uncharted 2 and 3, but was dissappointed with U4. too much traversing, too little combat, more serious tone but not quite serious enough, also real lack of setpieces, and the best part of the game they spoiled in the first gameplay trailer.

The thing about this game is we thought the pre-release screenshots were bullshots, only to find out the game actually looking better or if not just as which is mind blowing.

It's such an awesome game

Yes, and?

Let's see

>PS4 sells like hotcakes
>PS4 has now had like 4 decent exclusive titles and those launched with the system and Bloodborne is pretty niche to dudebros
>PS4 FINALLY has another exclusive title that's known to most people after a huge drought
>sells really well when nothing else is coming out even third-party wise

Gee, I'm very perplexed as to this turn of events.

This. I've got a high end PC but in all honesty not many PC games even utilize that power outside of high res textures and frame rate. Designing games is an art and naughty dog has mastered that art.

Daily reminder that you can have the best art equipment money can buy, but a better artist will always outclass you on shitty notebook paper with a number two pencil.

>naughty dog PC studio when?

>UK
Just like for ratchet and clank, it's only about the UK market, that was dominated by Xbox last gen.

Now they're going to make a sequel expecting the same sales when in fact Uncharted 4 only sold as much because people are starved for games.

>sunken city was spoiled in the first trailer
Yeah OK.

The art direction really is insanely good. They nailed it so hard its not even funny.

Of course it would be, why dont you fuckers stay there? Youre not welcome here

You neglect to realize this will continue to be a reality in terms of exclusives on the PS4.

They'll dole them out slow and steady.

It's why I'm not even going to consider a PS4 until the revision down the line and a bundle of some sort which is ways off.

hmm i was talking about the madagascar chase.
that part was perfect, it was all gameplay featuring the new rope and the car driving mechanics.
fucking loved it, nothing before or after came close to it

PS4 is the best selling console this generation but doesn't have too many exclusive games at the moment.
So, when something that other systems can't offer, people are really eager to buy it.

The less games there are for the system, larger the attachment rate will be. This is just normal.

Testing

>not running from the truck within new Devon
Come on son. That shit was a clear and fantastic throwback to the boulder chase in crash bandicoot. Half expected him to reference the game when it finishes.

(null)f9222 UC4 commerc [finish]

Now for Horizon Zero Dawn with the same level of fidelity and fluidity and will 100% share tools and tech with U4 for full penetration.

Sony will steamroll with this ip, just watch.

maybe it's because they've done it before, or maybe because it was 3 am after binging through the game.
somehow i wasn't that impressed by it.

s1i12i UC4 bug

Uncharted: farewell tour, is what happened.

Loved this game, fantastic, okay guys, now lets rendezvous back at home.

Two things:
One, it should sell more, it's better.
Two, there aren't exactly that many games on ps4, poor ps4 owners will snap up any halfway decent game they can. I suppose the new ratchet and clank sold really well too, despite being mediocre by all accounts?

>Killzone devs

its gonna be shit

PS4 literally has no games so obviously everyone who got tricked into buying the expensive netflix box got confused and uncharted 4 appeared to be a movie so they thought why not

I buy games with empowered womyn in them just out of principle.

Well deserved.
A good game getting good sales isn't really news though, especially considering it's Sony and Sony has a habit of winning. It's sort of in their DNA..

Except they won't because this was the finale. Expect the next game to be some kind of cart racer. I'm fake expecting ND to show off uc4 running at 60fps on the neo abs a teaser for their next game which will probably be crash or something entirely new along side it.

I'll wait for the NEO version

>paid reviews

yes SALES XDDD my favourite company wins!! :p

Could you be any more asshurt you fuckin' nerd?

xD

Hey dude thanks, already deposited your paycheck.

Good taste

Honestly I find the game pretty average only chapter 13 and the whole game is the been there done that feel to it. Also yet again Naughty Dog can't design combat encounters properly.

You know what I fucking love about this game?
I mean-I'll be accused of shilling, but whatever.

It's the balance of gameplay and set-piece scripted stuff.

In a lot of games it's a straight up QTE, or else it's a cutscene.
In U4, I feel like I am still playing during this crazy shit.
One segment of the game has some of the craziest shit I've seen but is one of the most fun parts I've played in any game for a while.

>Climb up a TALL building
>Shit goes wrong at the top
>It's crumbling down
>You still control Nate as he jumps and climbs and scrambles his way onto sturdy ground only for it to be slammed by debris starting the whole thing again
>Finally make it to the bottom
>A few minutes later there's a sweet car chase through the streets which feels freeform, fast and fucking chaotically fun
>You hang from the back of a truck, off the side of a highway bridge, by a fucking rope
>You swing around shit and over boats and shit
>You get dragged along the ground shooting guys on bikes alongside you
>You climb up the rope when it's clear and get on top of the truck where you continue to shoot bikeniggers
>Truck gets shot to shit
>You jump onto any of the nearby cars triggering a highjack fight, which you play, before taking over the car and continueing the chase

It's fucking SICK.
Not sure of replayability, though. But first time through, it's a blast. And I think playable action sequences are a key part.

>sold more than halo
Bullshit

That's the UK.

They obsess over FIFA instead of CoD/Halo.

why do we always need to get UK sales as representative of a game sale?

Honestly that stuff is a chore to play those parts and sometimes the combat is lump-sited during those moments.

they arent going to make a new crash game

they are going to continue using their Uncharted/TLOU engine and make more games with humans. It'd be foolish to give up all the resources and animations they have accumulated for that engine to make a keyframe-animation based toon game

This lmao, its always UK

>What went so right?

They successfully marketed the game to normies.
How is that an indicator of how good a game is? By that logic CoD 45 Black Warfare 9 were good games.

because they are the most idiot among european

But it would actually be a fun game to play though.

so the marketing worked
they tricked the millions of morons that got a ps4
this is super easy math

ND will make another game using the engine but they will also make crash or a new IP, the reason they are even as big as they are now is because they didnt get comfortable like insomniac did and actually branched out and explored new grounds

>ps4 and it's games sell well
>third parties jump on board and consumers win

>wiiU and it's games sell like hot shit
>No third parties in sight
> Nintendo abandons ship and tries again with the nx

Sales matter, faggot. You think people make games for free?

Nah, this game has the best combat I've ever played in any third person shooter. No joke

Who cares about your fun? There's assets available and money to be made!

>Increased market budget
>Biggest marketing budget for a Uncharted game ever
>More Britbongs are now Sonyggers than XBots
>No fucking exclusives on Ps4 at fucking all

ND haven't made a good game since Crash 3.

I know loads of people here who love halo.
They just didn't want to buy an xbone for it

I've always liked Uncharted, despite what Sup Forums says.

I'm sure it's a great game. I don't know if I would play it more than once though. I never felt the need to ever replay them.

> Insomaniac
> Comfortable

These are the guys that made R&C, to Resistance, to Sunset Overdrive.

They are anything but comfortable.

it wouldn't even be fun

the gameplay mechanics for Crash are so dated its not even funny. If they made it it would have to be worth $10 to not be considered overpriced

PS3 was at a much higher install base in UK when Uncharted 3 released than PS4 is now.

Keep damage controlling though drone

Including the Trannies and anyone thats LGBT

>Uncharted tops the charts

The headlines write themselves.

*except for U4

Massive ad campaign

that's California for you

still the best game devs in the industry

I dunno if this series is for you then, user, because without action sense the game's climbing and puzzles would dominate far too much and it'd get dull.

>more than once
>uncharted
Nah, man. Enjoy it the first time through, then do multiplayer if that's your thing. The game is fun, but a second run will make it stale.

it had a massive ad campaign because Sony knew it was a winner after they QA tested it

I don´t buy no sjw game

>after a huge drought
Kek, what?
>>sells really well when nothing else is coming out even third-party wise
Doom came out the same day.

/thread

And sold the most on PS4 no less.

yeah for me it´s kinda the same.
I love the combat in the game but there is too little of it.
I also preferred the puzzles form 3 way more.
those once where actually clever.
4 takes a big step back on that front.

the whole pirate island thing also seems like a step back compared to the environments of 2 and 3

plus like you said the story just doesn´t work for me. the villians are lame, dialogue just isn´t as fun and the whole setup doesn´t fit to an uncharted game in my opinion

at least he climbing is the best so far and the second jeep part is actually fun

I only played the beta. It was okay. Somewhat better than all the other uncharteds

The great thing about Tripfaggots is finding all the retarded threads they started
>boards.fireden.net/v/last/50/324478053/
>boards.fireden.net/v/thread/326267503/

what a colossal fag, another one for the filter

>my opinion is fact despite the general consensus

8th gen console peasants so desperate for games they will rush out and buy anything with a AAA budget and marketing campaign.

LOL, retards are saying Uncharted sold more...it sold 40k more copies than Halo first week with 20 million more ps4 consoles. Yall niggas are retarded. That's how you know you're a ps4 fuccboi, but let's talk about the Doom sales with PC being 5% zozzle.

Games the same bland shit as the last 3. Anybody with enough money can market shit to the masses.

This. PS4 being the most popular console combined with it still not having that many worthwhile games yet means a lot of people buy this game.

Because they are the biggest and most relevant Euro market

Marketing budgets

I've been in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Manchester in the past 6 months and anywhere they could put some fucking Uncharted 4 billboard they could.

Every single fucking bus in edinburgh had Nathan Drake's gormless fucking expression on it for the past few months as well.

Goddamn nigga shills PISS OFF me country m8 or ill shank yer nan.

the salt

I didn't pay attention to MP in the other games but will they add game modes to it? Or is that it?

The maps also kind of suck. They're all just small circles with a different center.

River is pretty fun, though.

You kinda gotta hand it to Naughty Dog here.

When Uncharted 1 came out it was so utterly dwarfed by Halo and Gears on the 360. Nobody cared for it, everyone thought it was sorta lame. Then they did Uncharted 2 and blew everyone away, but it still wasn't on the level of Halo in terms of sales. I personally wasn't a fan of U3 though.

Now however Halo and Gears are both dead franchises that nobody gives a fuck about and Uncharted grew into a fucking monster. It's kind of impressive. The Naughty Dog A-Team basically got better with each and every release (Uncharted --> Uncharted 2 --> The Last of Us --> Uncharted 4).

Can't wait for TLOU2.

Sup Forums thinks games aren't games unless they're exclusive despite a majority of the 40 million + users being the kind of people that don't give a shit about PC. Ignore it. This coming from somebody that's going to get a gtx 1080 next month.

you dont understand because you havent played it

I have a PS4 and a PC with a GTX 970 (plus huge steam library) and this is the best game I have ever played. I like action games though

I honestly wish for a new title, not TLOU2. Same goes for Uncharted, too many already. Should have ended with 2.

>not waiting for 1080ti
user pls

didn't you learn from the faggots that bought a 980?

there is not going to be a B-team ever again; ND didn't like how that turned out for U3

I would have preferred something new as well but I'm still looking forward to TLOU2.

>30FPS
