E3 ’14: Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Trailer

You’ve been waiting for it and it’s finally here. At E3 2014 we unveiled two trailers, one for each of the PS4 projects we’re currently developing. The UNCHARTED game we’ve been working on sees the return of…well, why don’t you watch the trailer and see for yourself:

That’s Nathan Drake rendered in full 1080p glory, using the power of our PS4 engine. All footage you see in the trailer was captured completely in engine. We’re targeting 60fps for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and as you can see, the visual fidelity for our character models will reach new heights. In fact, thanks to the power of PS4, right now Drake’s Uncharted 4 model is over double the polygons of Joel from The Last of Us PS3.

The next generation of Nathan Drake is going to be very real and will explore what it means when Drake is forced back into the world of thieves. He will embark on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. It’s his greatest adventure yet and will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he’s willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is available for pre-order right now. Stay tuned — we’ll have more information in the coming months.

Watching it I thought it was the game, then it looks real, then I went back to saying it was a game. That thing look good.

No gameplay? Well done Sony!

And… WHAT HAPPENED with Nate’s appearance? He looks ugly, old. I always liked his design, but now..

And the subtitle “Thief’s End”.. very suggestive, don’t you think? I mean, Nate’s death? No more Uncharted after this one?

I knew the departure of Amy and Justin, and Neil Druckmann/Bruce Straley taking the reins of the project would end up no good,

I really hope to be mistaken. REALLY hope.

@20 – agreed – I know the guy is always supposed to say “one last time” …but this series is too good to be just “one last time” :)

Oh and who says they are killing Drake guys? …do you really think they would make it so simple? Maybe Drake dies, maybe he doesn’t…a simple title doesn’t mean his death. A Thief’s End could mean another thief……..OR, it could just mean him leaving the “business”. Read a book, watch a movie, or hey play a game…………maybe you’ll notice that titles are often metaphors or mean more than one thing. Or, maybe it is that simple and he does die. You’ll just have to wait to find out what the truth is, obviously.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Uncharted 4 came out before The Last Guardian.

I love how Nathan has a wedding band on. I guess he finally tied the knot.
Guessing Elena…. cause Chloe would be weird (from how U3 ended)

Great trailer.

Though off topic – I wanted to see a Final Fantasy XV PS4 bundle. Oh well maybe next year.

  Yup. Elena and Nathan – that’s implied in U3.

Was waiting for this like crazy….betting on Uncharted is always a bet on the right horse….finally a game that REALLY looks like next-gen….and as expected it blew EVERYTHING outta water.I gotta say I was expecting something on The Order level of graphics but OMG….thats better than CGIs out there.

Double the polygons of Joel?….O-M-G…can’t wait to see the animations.

Got only one thing to ask…please don’t let this be the last Uncharted and please…Elena and Chloe must be in this game.

TECHNICAL MARVEL.

@ 14 LuiSpartanMIMIMI – I agree with you on Drake’s appearance but this…

“I knew the departure of Amy and Justin, and Neil Druckmann/Bruce Straley taking the reins of the project would end up no good”

Are you serious?….dawg this was the best thing that could’ve happened with Uncharted….Amy sure did a good job writing past UC games but justin spoiled the series…anyway none of them will be missed…Druckmann is a better writer than Amy and Bruce Straley….I won’t even mention anything here…only that he really knows how to direct a game,they’ve worked on UC1 and UC2….Uncharted is just back at the hands of their creators….only greatness will come out of this.

Drake looks incredible, the level of detail is just WOW! I can’t wait see which other characters are in this as well. And if it’s the last game for Uncharted, please do me a favour and make it OUT OF THIS WORLD!
