    I'd forgotten how good the pacing of this game is, it's a rollercoaster of crazy moments with some of the best set pieces. For the most part you are semi-free to move during these crazy moments (falling bridge, crumbling house etc.) rather than just watching it happen passively in a fully scripted sequence.

    I still can't get over how good the game looks though. Uncharted 2 and Far Cry 4 share similar looking assets because of their locations, and Uncharted 2 actually looks better than FC4, a PS4 game, which is ridiculous. They squeezed so much tech into the engine and yet the game is one of the most stable.

    It's an amazing looking game, with great pacing, great acting, and great music, the gameplay isn't at the same level though. I'm not sure how they can make the combat more fun, but the enemies move less like retarded primates having a stroke, which is a huge improvement over the first game!

      Editing … Amazing game but yeah as a shooter it's good gameplay but not enough to be a strong point. The enemies soak damage a bit too much and the weapons aren't that interesting. Looks like they're going to make you keep moving/climbing while shooting a bit more in U4 and let you switch between combat and stealth so that'll be cool.

      Editing … "Uncharted 2 actually looks better than FC4, a PS4 game, which is ridiculous" Probably because FC4 is an open world game rather than a linear one. We're also still fairly early into the PS4's life. Personally, I don't like U2's rollercoaster of crazy moments style pacing, but that's just me being weird.

      Editing … The linearity probably helped but not all linear 8th gen games look better than U2 either.

      Editing … Yeah I dunno what the magic formula is but Uncharted games just look crazy good. The only graphics on PS3 I like more than Uncharted's were Journey's.

      Editing … Naughty Dog know how to make a good looking game. The spectacle of Uncharted 2 was mind-blowing when I first saw it and the set-pieces are still thrilling today. I can't wait to see what they do with Uncharted 4. Especially after the Last of Us, which also blew me away both graphically and pacing-wise

      Editing … I think The Last of Us edges Uncharted in the graphics department but it's a newer game from the same dev so of course it does.

      Editing … I thought so too until I loaded the remaster on PS4. I'll try to keep playing them side by side but so far Uncharted's environments are a more detailed and varied, whereas people are more detailed in TLOU. I really want to get the Uncharted collection now too...
