jesus, the animations are some of the best I've ever seen in any game. wow.

This game is the definition of what a AAA game should be. The visuals, writing, multiplayer, music, etc. Just bravo naughty dog job well done way to show all other developers how it's done regardless of platform!

They failed to mention that Drakes' hair reacts realistically to being wet too :) Even his god damn chest hair does. It's insane.

4 years later and this game still has the best looking character models IMO

As a PS1 gamer, I have to say, this game looks great.

As a PC gamer I have to say, Uncharted 4 looks great.

As a MP3 player I have to admit this game looks great

As a guy named Nathan I have to say, this game looks great.

My God Naughty Dog!!! cant wait for Last of Us 2!!!!!!!!

bought PS4 for this game, best decision of my life

This isnt just a PS4 masterpiece. This is a video game masterpiece. On any platform this is just beautiful.

6 years later, 4k40fps on ps5... and it's still my fav looking game

The fact that I can play this game on my Steam Deck at a locked 30 fps at native resolution (1280x800) is absolutely mind-blowing!

5:57 hole in sandbag didn't move, Pre-order cancelled

This game is without a doubt mental in it's visual fidelity. Nothing looks as good as this. Period. And i'm a major PC gamer with a insane rig, so I hold bias that PC always looks better than console. I had massive "uncanny" moments while playing through this game....never have I used "photorealisim" until I played this. You just need to witness it to understand.

seeing overwatch winning the game of the year award instead of U4,is a slap in the face for the naughty dog,gamers and hole gaming industry

it's wonderful how much of a technical achievement this is for console but my god is this game beautiful, down to the writing, relationships between Nathan, Sam, Sully and Elana, the engagement is truly breathtaking and what this series will truly be remembered for, not just for visuals.

As a PC master race fan, this is fucking amazing.

People keep saying "good, for a console game", but I don't recall any PC exclusive with this level of stunning visuals either. Sheer numbers don't solve it all. Point me one game that will look more impressive than this just because it is 4K, 60 FPS. And I do have a powerful PC btw, and a PS4 and even Wii U.

Loved this game.

Next-gen starts when Naughty Dog says it does...

In light of recent news, just remember... this was made on a 1.8 TFLOP console.

Uncharted 4 is without a doubt the best looking game I think I've ever played. Ever. Yes, even PC games. I haven't seen a game on PC that pays this much attention to detail and that looks this great. If only every developer was like Naughty Dog...

Console, PC, I don't care; this is absolute wizardry right here!

It looks pretty good, but it'll never top Cool Spot on the Sega Genesis.

Indeed, the most impressive thing about this game is the seamless transition between cinematics and gameplay

Every delay was worth it.

I have completed this game like 5 times and everytime I start again it feels so enjoyable. This game will be in my memories forever

I am Xbox One owner and im really impressed with this PS4 title

As a PC gamer, I have to say Uncharted 4 looks amazing! Truly a masterpiece for you PS4 owners! You guys are lucky!

To this day, i am yet to see graphics as impressive as in this game especially in Madagascar - i literally had to stop and take in the visuals. Literally unbelievable and IT CAME OUT SO LONG AGO!

In 2020 and I’m still in awe at the graphics on this.

This video should be called "why to buy a PS4"

Still looks better than many games in 2021. LITERAL MASTERPIECE⚡️

haha what the fuck...who would have imagined 10 years ago that games would look this realistic. I remember playing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and being pretty amazed at what a plastic fucking box was capable of. In ten more years, we're probably gonna look back at this game and realize how primitive it looks to the games of future hardware generations...just fucking incredible, man

Just finished the clock part... whew that was awesome.

At Madagascar i literally got wet like daaaaaamn this game is gorgeous

This is how hair should look like, not noodles.

this is the most visually stunning, game i have ever seen and played!

Revisiting this video 5 years later proves more than ever how insane this game looks. Absolutely next gen look. If this was announced now we would all be lurking and praising the ps5/series X. But guess what. It ran flawlessly on a PS4

I keep reading about "a lot of salt in the comments" but honestly, I've yet to find much of it... This is in fact one of the more decent comment sections I've ever come across on KZfaq, and that's quite rare! With PC gamers praising Uncharted 4 and Naughty Dog, little to no silly console wars or elitists stroking their e-peens, and decent discussions regarding this game and what Naughty Dog could mean for game developing in general. This is what gaming communities should be about, people! Sharing our love for the hobby across platforms and having respectful and fruitful discussions about it. Not just bashing each other for our personal preferences! It's actually kind of restoring my faith in gaming communities... Bravo! Keep it up! Of course there's a couple of trolls trying to bait people into starting pointless platform wars but most of them just get shut down or ignored. I'm feeling like the people posting about "salt in the comments" are actually just among these trolls.

Just finished this in 2019. Still an incredibly good-looking and overall fun game. Every aspect is so well executed and on point! This on a 4K HDR OLED display, really a dream combination. I've been a die hard PC enthusiast for 25 years, but this, I'm glad I didn't miss out on. Makes me wonder what Naughty Dog will do with the PS5's drastically increased performance budget.

i hope when the ps5 comes out, we get a native 4k and 60fps update.

the Chickens had No Collision Detection 5:28 not the game 4 me :(

As a PC gamer, I am impressed by how good this game looks. The developers should be applauded for managing to get this game to work on PS4 hardware.

This will be the game of the year

This game was an experience.

This came out in 2016?! and still looks better than some next gen games

i cannot wait for the pc release, it will look so good and the high quality shadows are gonna add alot

They're called Naughty Gods for a reason.

As a board gamer this game looks great

Naughty Dog once again shows why a PS console is worth buying.

A lot of salt in the comments.

This comment section reaches Dead Sea levels of salt.

This game looks insane. Hope that the next GTA or RDR looks like this.

My all time favourite game . The bgm gives me a sense of adventure.

They need to port this to Dreamcast.

It never gets old

its crazy how good this game still looks in 2023! I mean for real, look at the environments and character models. It's comparable with Unreal Engine 5, and that years later. I guess that's the magic behind in house engine and some very smart people.

Uncharted 5 on PS5: My body is ready

I was awed when I first played Madagascar here having never seen the gameplay trailer. Jaw dropping

2020 and this still look amazing!!!

I like the unbiased viewpoint you bring to your analysis, including the video title. It isn't like watching a commercial at all.

This was the most impressive looking game I have ever played...the action sequences were amazing.

1:19 They actually put 30 on the sign haha

Leave it to Naughty Dog to truly show what a PlayStation can do... Now I expect every PS exclusive studio to follow suit!

This game is truly next gen

If this is the best looking game for just PlayStation, what the hell is the best for PC? I'm a PC gamer and the only game that looks amazing is Crysis 3, and that's an FPS. Nothing near Uncharted 4..

This game is beautiful! This truly is a benchmark to all game developers both console and computer of how to best use the available resources to them. I hope more game developers learn from these examples.

Can someone explain why anisotropic filtering is always reduced on consoles? Anyone? That's the one option that's never (EVER) cost me a single fps of performance on any of my PCs. Not now, not 5 years ago, and 10 is too long ago to remember for me but... I'm guessing it wasn't much back then either... Not a deal breaker for me, but I'm genuinely curious! :D

Awesome video! I definitely spend a lot of my time in this game just looking at all the little details of the world. Its incredible on how much of the game is so unique and doesn't look like it has repeating textures and objects for most of it, especially when you get into the natural parts of the world. Every rock, tree, bush, leaf pile, bare ground, etc, all looks completely unique and natural as you would expect in the real world! The attention to detail is staggering!

Truly impressive

just back here after see the DF analysis on TLOU2..man naughty dog deserves a hearty applause for achieving the best with gfx to date and that on a hardware getting close to 7 years

I wish evryone could experience this game.

Having now played and completed U4, I was blown away by the level of detail they've put in with their sceneries, especially in the mansion and the homes at the end, where it seems like every pixel was individually edited. However, the game never left me really wanting to play it again. And don't be fooled by the talk of choosing your own dialogues, as this only happens three or fours times throughout the entire game.

4 years on and still an amazing engine. Can't wait to see what talented devs can achieve with ps5 era tech.

cant wait to finally get the game tomorrow and to play this amazing game.

I wish instead of remakes ND would focus on a sequel. Maybe Sully before he met Drake.

Loved this video Jean! One of your best DF videos.

I found myself grinning ear-to-ear as you concluded. THIS is what games SHOULD BE! Fantastic stories to keep you engaged, a game made with care!!

In a word the game is beautiful. Simply beautiful. From the voice acting to the story line, to character development, to graphics it deserves your attention. Support Naughty Dog in making games like this.

How is this possible on a PS4? You can find phones now that have better GPUs, I’m so impressed. If I got told that this was a new game running on a GTX 1080 TI, I would believe it. The GTX 1080 TI is like 5 times more powerful! Is this magic?

Man, your videos are amazing!!! Excellent quality!!

Digital Foundry really been kicking ass this year. Quality content, I love how they find a way to review the overall game while still attending to the technical aspects.

Honestly, with next gen coming soon, I can't wait to see what naughty dog is gonna do. With the technical limitations on the PS, it's crazy how they achieved this. This still stands out to this day and somewhat looks next gen worthy to me. If they remaster it and only increase shadows and screen space reflections, it would pass as a next gen game.

can't wait to replay this on the PS5. it will look glorious.

And in PS4 Pro that is goes 4K, looks even more stunning!

5 years later and I still think this is the best looking game of all time

Jesus Christ, this game looks like it's really living up to the hype, and thats something you can't say for a lot of recent games. Next paycheck tomorrow so I'm definitely treating myself.

quantum break boys get over here.this is how a legendary game is made.

Finished the game the first time yesterday. BEST. EXPIERENCE. EVER. I swear when the credits rolled, the music kicked in, i had some tears in my eye because i knew that my adventures with nate had come to an glorious end.....farewell my friend, it was an amazing journey!

The music in this game gives me the chills. Even in the background of the video I was getting goosebumps.

The absolute definition of a masterpiece.

NAUGHTY DOG HAS DONE IT AGAIN ! :D

Ahh I loved this game. This game touched my heart because I've been playing it since release on ps3 and finished with lost legacy. The soundtrack, the environment, the gameplay, the story, the characters, everything is perfect.

That epic orchestral melody when Nathan goes throught the window, perfect.

How is a developer that is limited to PS4 hardware making these amazing technological breakthroughs yet all some PC devs want to do is shitty indie graphics. Sometimes I am ashamed to be a PC gamer.

I'm running a i7-4930k pc with 32gigs of ram and 2 gtx980 ti sli video cards and it's connected to a 50in. 4k tv. I give a lot of credit to the ps4 and the developer for running this game so smooth. Even with my high-end specs. I can not think of a pc game that I played or owned that runs this well as this title, on low spec ps4. Only gripe I have is, my ps4's fans are in over drive and causes so much noise. I purchase so many graphics card and built so many pc's. Chaseing the fastest and the smoothest framerate in my games. Then titles like uncharted 4, last of us, God of wars and I'm just naming a few of games on a weaker spec hardware that run so seemless. No autosave slow downs or memory framerate drops. As I'm playing uncharted 4, I do wonder how much better the game will run on my pc. All I'm saying is, if this game can run this well on a ps4. Then every developer that releases there games on a pc should be ashamed. This game should be the goal standard for every developer who ports or releases games on pc to stand by.

Thank you DF for such in depth videos! I'm subscribing

The detail and animation is what makes this game truly stunning
