However, that’s not to say Uncharted 4 doesn’t look great. Most of the gameplay footagerevealed to the public throughout the production process has shown Naughty Dog’s careful attention to the details of character designs, environment renders, as well as overall aesthetics. Plus, it’s also important to note that the game will have a stable frame rate of 60 FPS with a 1080p resolution on the PS4. With all of that in mind, Uncharted 4 is certainly poised to be one of the best-looking games of it’s generation.
With Uncharted 4 having been described as an “end of an era” by Naughty Dog, long time fans of the franchise ought to not only expect plenty of exciting gameplay, but also meaningful, worthwhile storytelling, as the studio is prepared to share the last chapter of one of its most endearing characters with the world. But even though Uncharted 4 is set to provide Nathan Drake with his last lead role in the series, it’s safe to assume that Naughty Dog will give him the heartfelt send off he deserves.
