Uncharted: Drakes Fortune - 14 Years Later
Рет қаралды 152,630
Күн бұрынThe Uncharted series is widely praised and is the blockbuster smash hit of the 7th generation and to an extent the 8th generation of PlayStation consoles. Though, few show the first game any love and attention. I want to take a look back at and critique Uncharted Drakes Fortune in this video. This will also be an Uncharted Drakes Fortune analysis.

Uncharted Drakes Fortune is the first game in the Uncharted series. In this Uncharted Drakes Fortune Critique and Uncharted Drakes Fortune Analysis, we will be looking at all the angles of Uncharted Drakes Fortune and analyzing the entire game. This Uncharted Drakes Fortune Retrospective takes both a modern and past perspective in mind to properly critique Uncharted Drakes Fortune 14 Years Later. I hope this video does well enough to warrant a full Uncharted Retrospective. I do mention that the puzzles here aren't very good but I don't know if that is just me because there are a ton of Uncharted Drakes Fortune Walkthrough online and I see people praising the puzzles in other Uncharted Drakes Fortune Review. If you enjoy this Uncharted Review and want a full Uncharted Series Retrospective. Let me know! I would love to make an Uncharted Series Review and potentially an Uncharted Series Explained video as the stories these games tell can be a bit confusing at times. This Uncharted 1 Review captured Uncharted PS5 gameplay at 1080p 60fps. I don't think we will get an Uncharted 5, assuming you don't count Lost Legacy as Uncharted 5, but we could perhaps get some Uncharted PC ports. Hopefully I will see you all again soon for an Uncharted 2 Critique and an Uncharted 3 Critique!
Greatness, from small beginnings... It’s a phrase that is repeated on more than a few occasions throughout Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and poetically it serves as a phrase that can be applied to the game as a whole within the context of the series. With each entry being greater than the last and with the quality gap between Uncharted 1 and 2 being as colossal as it is, it’s no surprise that the series humble beginnings doesn’t receive a lot of love these days. This doesn’t come as a surprise because the future Uncharted games are, while not immune to criticism, are praised to near infinity and in my eyes for good reason. Since Uncharted 2, the first of the series I had played, I had been hooked and loved the 3rd and 4th entries to the series. So much so that I want to begin a marathon of sorts to give my thoughts on the whole franchise. But before we get into what will hopefully be some gushing reviews of the creme de la creme of this series we need to start from the beginning.
Now according to a poll that was posted a while back, Drake's Fortune isn’t at the top of many peoples list, but many of you also clarified that the game certainly isn’t bad by any means. It actually reminded me a lot of the Arkham series as Arkham Asylum is seen as the worst, but not because the game is bad, it’s great actually, but because it’s sequels are so much better. Asylum was released in 2009 but it was surprisingly almost 5 years earlier that Naughty Dog began work on Uncharted as in 2005 they decided to take a new approach to development and their games. Being well known for the Crash Bandicoot and Jak games, games that were stylized to something like a cartoon, attempting to transition to realistic humanized games would prove to be difficult.
Making such a large pivot development wise was something Naughty Dog was aware of, and as such they titled this new project, BIG. A big game for a big jump in technology. With the 7th generation of consoles on the horizon, games were no longer prohibited from making realistic games by the hardware and while plenty of games still went for a stylized look, Project BIG wanted to plant itself somewhere between the two. Upon first being shown at E3 2006 it was immediately compared to the ever popular Tomb Raider games and was promptly dubbed “dude raider” on internet forums. Of course, the Tomb Raider games focused far more on puzzles than Uncharted, though Uncharted eventually shifted to focusing more on puzzles and exploration and I’d argue that the Uncharted games and the Reboot Tomb Raider games did a bit more than share test answers if you know what I’m saying but that’s for another video.

Quick correction: I don't think Arkham Asylum is a bad game, but technically speaking, it is the "worst" of the series. That doesn't mean it can't be appreciated or that it shouldn't, but just that the other games were far more ambitious. The same can be applied to Uncharted 1, although to a greater extent.

Something I wish the modern Tomb Raider games would borrow from Uncharted would be that sense of thrill and enjoyment the characters get from treasure hunting, even though they're usually what could end up causing the apocalypse, but can still laugh it off. Modern Lara Croft almost always feels like she HAS to grab the treasures, as if it's a chore to her, and doesn't seem to have that same adrenaline that Nathan and friends do (although having them somehow be tied to her family is justifiable).

And the enemy AI and set pieces weren’t good enough to keep the constant shootouts interesting

@@grantmalone I definitely disagree that the gameplay mechanics are dated. Because I think that overall, it’s the best that Uncharted has been. If you really pick it apart, the previous games had either mediocre to outright bad mechanics. Platforming was always best in small doses, and it would often glitch or not work well. Especially so in certain titles. Combat was okay, there was only one way to effectively do it though. Which was to run and gun and cover shoot, which could get really repetitive fast. In the initial trilogy, the games were best when they could combine all these elements to create the best whole with at best, mediocre pieces. Now, I’m not trying to say that Uncharted 4 has the best mechanics in gaming. Or that even a majority of your complaints are unfounded. I’m not going to tell you which games you should or shouldn’t like. Just wanted to put out my own two cents

I actually recently played all 4 Uncharted games for the first time. So I got to play this unchain from any nostalgia or any real expectations gained from playing the future games first. What I found was a pretty solid foundation for future success. This video does a great job at laying out this game's faults and triumphs. I have often heard in the past and since playing the franchise that you should skip this one because it's the worse one; I incredibly disagree. This game is totally enjoyable even in the modern day. It has it's outdated things and all games after it surpass it but it still has aged pretty decently. I would also highly recommend you start with it because once you jump into the next one you'll get to personally experience how much the second one builds on and surpasses this one.
@TheRavenArchon Жыл бұрын
I agree. The game is a little more "primitive" than the later games, and clearly had a few issues that the developer took to heart to fix in later entries of the series, but it's still a solid, polished, gorgeous adventure game that almost perfectly captures the feeling and atmosphere of a summer blockbuster in video game form - something I had never experienced before this game. Later games were even better, but only because they were built on such a strong foundation that they stayed true to.
@angelothompson186 Жыл бұрын
Absolutely agree. I'm playing the series rn and my exact thoughts were to see how much better each one gets while following the story. I don't see why you would skip this one cause it really starts Elena and Nates dynamic and to miss out would be bad for the story.

You wanted a suggestion for damage feedback, here ya go! You could keep the subtle red elements but: Have the black and white effect close in from the corners in a ring/circle so where you are most probably focusing on, the middle of the screen, still always has color. It stays colourful around about in front of Nate and his gun when he's aiming, so a good portion of the top and bottom of the screen is still coloured, where most of the sides will be greyed out when taking heavy damage. It engulfs everything in black, white and bloom when Nate dies, perhaps the edges ripple so it doesn't look so static

I've only recently played all the uncharted brilliant series for the first time. I really enjoyed them except the first game.I felt I had to force myself through it just to get to the sequels. It doesn't hold up well at all but from 2 onwards they are brilliant games.

During pandemic I platinum’ed the Drake Collection on PS4 as well as Uncharted 4 on Crushing. When analyzing gameplay I have to point out that playing on Brutal changed things to the point where it’s almost a different game.

When I first got my PS4 it came with Uncharted 4, I made sure I got the Nathan Drake collection and played from this game first. I find myself always replaying this game first whenever I revisit these games, mainly so that it's flaws don't come out to a jarring degree. Playing each game sequentially feels like the best way to experience them.

I said to my brother after I beat the game: _"This game is a 7/10, but would be an 8/10 if it could just not suck for five seconds."_ I still feel that way.

Not at all, it’s a 9. And i have no idea what you mean by sucking and being equated to a 7, simply skill diff.

at 7:21 you can see that last bullet the enemy shoots actually doesn’t hit Nathan but the screen gets grey so there might be validity in him getting lucky

You talked about the Roman numeral puzzle in the original Uncharted when I played the game I didn't even realize the answer was in the notebook I just went for it.

Well this wouldn’t be completely realistic but a way to show a character’s health in a game could be shown through damage of the character, maybe have 3 different tiers of damage, Tier 1: damaged clothes Tier 2: the character starts getting scratches Tier 3: the character is dripping blood and hunched over And have a menu explaining the tiers at the beginning of the game, kinda like x men origins except u don’t heal

13:08 the vines/ropes climbing sections were more the pain for me, being the first Uncharted, Naughty Dog hadn't exactly nailed using a vine or chain/rope to skirt along walls and swing to other things and Nate would reach as if it was safe and then fall short multiple times leading to repetition in climbing sections

I was maybe around 11 when I first played Drakes Fortune, I wasnt allowed to own any scary/overly violent games. At the point where the zombies came out my brother was watching it with me as it happened and my eyes went wide and I said "Uh oh, moms not gonna let me play anymore"

the roman numerals problem fully had me stumped for like a half hour lol. maybe i didn’t immediately understand that the 3 numbers on the map were “if you see any of these, it’s safe.” i thought it was “take each of these paths in order,” and when that wasn’t an option i was lost for awhile 😂
