Hey everyone - hope you're all having a good week so far! Just an update on current projects: -MW2 Coverage is in progress, including a review of the campaign, and a couple comparisons -God of War Ragnarok review and comparison are in progress (thanks to playstation for early access!), expect that coverage in early November -A few hardware videos planned -Still waiting on review keys for "Gotham Knights," will likely need to purchase it myself at this point, but will hold off until I finish other in-progress videos And finally, -Batman Documentary is about 60% complete. All of the new game releases and getting covid twice interrupted progress on this. I've edited Asylum, City, Origin, and currently working on Knight. I'm also including EVERY batman game before the Arkham games, along with the telltale games and Gotham Knights - so it'll take a bit longer to finalize. Next year will have more documentaries that I've been wanting to do :)
they released uncharted 4 first because they want to remake/remastered the uncharted trilogy to released on ps5 and pc (just like the last of us part 1). uncharted trilogy graphics seems a lil bit outdated but uncharted 4 not really outdated, thats why
@@aryantzh2028 Uncharted 2 and 3 still hold up pretty well Uncharted 1 is the only one that really doesn't cause of the plastic looking character models but a remaster that ups the textures to 4k would be good enough for the other 2.
I hear its not selling to well on PC, probably because its the 4th and 5th game of a series. They really should have first ported the Nathan Drake Collection over with some further improvements that way people can get invested into the story.
Literally retarded decision, I've been on PC for over 10 years and have never had a chance to play the Uncharted games and I guess I still can't, who tf would want to start with the last game in a series?

@@aryantzh2028 it's so strange that when uncharted 1 and 2 came out I was like WOW THESE LOOK AMAZING. I play 4 and still blown away. Went back ( game still looks for for its age ) but damn I want the first 3 to look like this.
4:00 "You can make out a tiny bit more detail along the surface of each character's face with the PS5 version" Me trying my hardest to see the tiny bit more detail along the surface of Nathan's face with the PS5 version: I...see... Seriously, I would not play "Spot the differences between these 2 pictures" against Nick lol
Never played this game before since i didnt ever have a console.. Playing this on PC im totally captivated. It runs so great and playing it with mouse and keyboard i didnt have a single issue. Also the charachters look fantastic and i hardly ever seen such great acting in a pc game. The framerate has been without any issues.
I'm about to start playing it for the first time. This is my very first uncharted game. I haven't had a Play station console since the PS1 so i'm super grateful Sony is deciding to put some of these amazing games on PC. Played the first chapter and my mind is blown that this game originally came out in 2016 - WOW.
I am very similar to you, however only a few hours in it all feels very scripted and the actual gameplay mediocre, It seems to have a good story but I dunno its just a "meh" for me so far, but ill chip away at it for a few more hours some time this week.
@@Battleneter it’s a slow burn for sure but I really miss action set pieces in games. I’m kinda burnt out on open world stuff, really enjoying it so far. Stick with it 😄
I want to play uncharted series too as my favourite game genre is action adventure which includes Prince of Persia, God of war and tomb raider. I hope they port gow trilogy on pc too as they have sort of confirmed uncharted trilogy port to pc
@@Battleneter scripted? It's a linear story game... I could understand the gameplay argument, but personally the top tier animations made running around and swinging with the grapple hook fun and enjoyable, plus the stealth and combat is also fun as long as you know how to be creative.
It is interesting that the PC port seems to have some default values brought over from the PS4 version of the game like draw distances. I love these games and as someone who's played them multiple times, I was really hoping to have the absolute definitive edition come to my much more powerful PC. Here's to hoping some patches in the near future will elevate this version of the game. On the flip side so far it has been a joy playing this game on my steam deck 😁
@@duncanself5111 yeah, you're not wrong about the fast processing of the PS5, but Spiderman ran great for me on PC, as well as many others. I think it all depends on the studio porting the game and optimization, I don't think it has anything to do with one being faster than the other. PC's will always be able to look more visually stunning than consoles. That's not me bashing consoles, I love PlayStation and Nintendo both, but it's just because PC has more options to alter the way the image is presented.
Excellent coverage as usual Nick. This is one of the bare bone PC versions of a modern video game can get. Even the image reconstruction methods are broken (especially DLSS). Pre-complied shaders even fail to alleviate those micro stutters. That's what you should expect from Iron Galaxy Studios.
I've seen people complaining about these microstutters, but I experienced no such thing with this port. The game runs perfectly smooth, even pre-launch. It just has some smaller visual issues I'd like cleaned up.
@@Nick930 Not hard to brute force a smooth experience with such high end hardware though to be fair! I'm on a PC of moderate to good specs, i9-9900k, 32GB of 3600hz RAM, 3080. On a WD Black SSD, and I was experiencing micro stutters, and a weird thing where animations would pause in cutscenes? And they'd go back to the pose they where in at the start of said cutscene, all very odd!
@@KinTheFennix I've benchmarked the game on 3 of my gpu an RX 6800 XT, 3080pTi and 4090 with a Ryzen 5900X didn't encounter any stutters but I only checked out the first level in the foster home. Didn't want to start diving on it just yet but seems like a decent port. Your specs are pretty good to not be having a similar experience but maybe there are stutters later in the game I've yet to encounter.
@@KinTheFennix I am on a 9900K with a only slight better 3080TI and zero micro stutter at 3440x1440 Ulrawide. I am not the biggest fan of the game so far, but performance is good.
It's actually a very good port with minor issues that a patch or two can't fix. But I have concerns with the loading (start of levels, cutscenes) and the very short pre-recorded scenes in between in-engine scenes. For the loading, it is a very tricky problem as it's a totally different hardware and APIs than the Playstation environment, and for the short cutscenes, ND has to go back to their projects to re-render the scenes in higher frame rates and that's if they would bother to do so. So I won't be surprised if these issues won't be fixed anytime soon.
I think it is a big enough issue that ND would bother to render them and put these cutscenes in the games themselves, or maybe some other solution could come up. Depends on if they decide to do it before or after Factions 2 release.
u mean if Naughty Dog aren't lazy but unfortunatlly they are and that's why its the weakest selling PS game on PC,won't be suprised even if Sackboy surpass it on sales
@@purringbluzzmuffin8030 It's literally one of the most technically advanced games. Rendering millions of rats at the same time without frame loss/drop. Hot take smh
they released uncharted 4 first because they want to remake/remastered the uncharted trilogy to released on ps5 and pc (just like the last of us part 1). uncharted trilogy graphics seems a lil bit outdated but uncharted 4 not really outdated, thats why
I think I was too hopeful for this collection. Aside from the significant improvement of being able to play at higher frame-rates and resolutions, there are not nearly enough improvements made to the rest of the fidelity that I think there should be for games that are at least 5 years old :/ Also hearing about some of the bugs/oddities around the PC version that don't exist on the PlayStation, and well, I'm not sure how to feel about this honestly. I have all 5 platinum trophies for the Uncharteds on PlayStation, so I'll still enjoy this on PC, but I'll always feel like more could have been done.
This was a port. Not a remake or remaster. This game was also fully designed and coded for consoles. Consoles often have their own quirks and other specific things that simply cannot be done the same way on other consoles or PCs. Sometimes it's no problem to do it differently but sometimes there have to be some kind of compromise between the original mechanics and actually working system. Small bugs are not uncommon in those situations. Of course it's reasonable to expect to not see those bugs in the final product, but your expectations of getting "a lot more improvements on fidelity" are simply strange. They are not based on any reasonable understanding of what a platform port is and what it isn't.
@@anteshell Every Playstation port to date has allowed us to push settings further on PC than this one. It is therefore not unreasonable at all for OP to be disappointed that this doesn't match the established cadence.
@@anteshell You make very valid statements, though I'm not sure my expectations were all that strange; certainly not unreasonable. Maybe I didn't catch beforehand that this was a port and literally nothing more, but were the Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Death Stranding, Days Gone, and even Detroit Become Human PC versions not ports as well? All of those PS to PC games had significant fidelity and functionality improvements on PC. I'm not trying to get all technical with it because I understand this goes above demands and expectations, but the quality we saw in previous PS ports to PC was significantly better than what's reflected in this collection. Therefore, I feel it was only reasonable to expect some sort of improvement (again, aside from higher refresh rates and resolution) over the PS versions.
@@HeloisGevit Maybe there's a slight misunderstanding somewhere between us. I interpreted the "not nearly enough enhancements" to be quite a bit more than just higher values in the graphic settings. Mainly because of the "nearly enough" part. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect higher settings, but improving the quality of the assets and so on is.
@@JFlint.02 Blame Iron Galaxy they're a terrible porting house with a horrible track record for context they're the ones that ported Arkham Knight and Arkham Origins which are both PC ports that had horrible bugs and bad performance on release I'm honestly shocked there aren't MORE issues than there are.
Lot of good info here. My guess with some of the rendering issues come from Iron Galaxy specing for HDDs. I'm not sure if they worked on the PS5 version of the game, but since there's no HDD im any capacity, I would venture to guess that adjusting to that gave them a bit more trouble. If I remember correctly, the PS5 version was out in April. I'm not sure if they were working on both at the same time or if they only worked on the PC version. Removing Motion Blur makes this game SO much better in my opinion. That alone makes it a huge improvement.
As a game developer that mainly deals with porting between platforms i can say next things. First: shading and textures can look different cause graphics APIs are VERY different. Cause of that visual sometimes just cannot be made perfectly same. And graphics require a LOT of work to be transfered properly. Second: in most cases team that works on original platform's version and the team working on port are NOT in perfect sync. They very often will have quite different versions of projects. Some bugs can be in original version but not in port and vice versa. Third: (addressing LOD distance) there may be some performance requirements set from the veery start and team working on port will do whatever it takes to meet those requirements. Lowering settings included. Even though in a first glance it seems not needed since PC's are very powerfull, there is set testing PC specs and set framerates with resolution. So simply put - increasing LOD distance may have led to having 115 fps in 4K on pc. That would be the reason to lower draw distance.
For a game dev that deals in ports, you're remarkably stupid. PCs have these things called graphics settings, they're not one size fits all. There's no good reason for why the PS5 LOD distance isn't available as an option, it's nothing we haven't seen before. Trying to present 115fps at 4K as unacceptable is ridiculously out of touch. Any of Playstation's other ported games put this one to shame. Knowing Iron Galaxy were behind it, can't say I'm surprised either.
Clicked on this video because I was unaware of the PC port awhile ago. Wanted to see the differences. And I must be blind because I barely notice any differences. Oh well.
Why in the hell they hired Iron Galaxy to port this and didn't have Nixxes do it I don't understand. Nixxes has proven themselves over and over that they are very competent at porting games to PC the right way with very detailed graphics options, they always get it right. Nixxes is also owned by Sony now so it really doesn't make any sense for them to contract this out to Iron Galaxy.
@@cooldragoncool3046 I can understand that but also why not just wait so they can get it done right? It's one of the biggest Sony exclusives, you'd think they'd want it done right. Especially if they're hinging doing the rest of the games for PC based on this collections sales. Which is also another really dumb decision, why not just do the Nathan Drake Collection first? You're putting a franchise on PC for the first time, where most of the player base has probably never played one of these games, and you start with the end of the series. Just all around bad decisions on Sony's part.
@@fourohsevenfishing bruh... As if everyone has an rtx 3070 or more... Most PC player have midrange components which are even less powerful than the PS5 so even without console you'd still be held back by other PC players how ironic😂
@@talion7268 I wonder how many more console generations it will take to be able to make use of the 240hz monitor I've been using for years on PC lmao. Imagine if Bloodborne could be played at a decent framerate.
Did the console version have to "load shaders" for half an hour just at the first time loading it? And why did this old game that uses like 3% of my new PC's CPU absolutely needed AVX 2 to even load, making it the only program ever that just made my "old" PC just obsolete? Feels like a lazy port to me.
I get around 100-120+ fps on maxed settings DLSS on balance, 4k res but still doesn't seem as smooth unlike other games. Ryzen 5800x 32GB ddr4 3600mhz EVGA 3090 FTW3 ultra Display: LG CX 48" Oled
I dont own a console since the ps1, ps2 and xbox 360 era, l skipped to PC since, l own some Playstation PC ports like Uncharted 4, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Detroit Become Human, Days Gone, Spiderman and God of War and l think Playstation have pretty good exclusive games, l am grateful that Sony decided to give PC players the oportunity to play this masterpieces, l hope to play soon The Last of Us part 1 and Ghost of Tsushima. ❤ PS games.
Reason why games appear nicer on Sony console vs. PC/Xbox is simple. Sony is paying devs to make game nicer and other systems worse, even though compute power of system capable of higher/better visual. Call me crazy but it has been proven on multiple occasions on multiple games.
Funny how a game made to run strictly on Console doesn’t run so good on PC. Hopefully the PC version can be fixed it’s a great game PC players will have fun
they released uncharted 4 first because they want to remake/remastered the uncharted trilogy to released on ps5 and pc (just like the last of us part 1). uncharted trilogy graphics seems a lil bit outdated but uncharted 4 not really outdated, thats why
Of course the biggest problem with Uncharted on the PC before this is that it didn`t exist ! meaning that those of us who never had a PS4/5 never got to play it at all but now we can which is great
I've encountered a few bugs myself playing the PC version, like when you get to some of the entrances of new areas, it won't be fully loaded into the map, so you just see empty space and sometimes, I've fallen through the map, because the textures and scenery hasn't properly loaded in. I ran into the latter issue in The Lost Legacy in particular, while attempting the Best Driver in the Business achievement, because on top of the game stopping to load almost every few minutes or so, after I head back from the top of the waterfall, I zigzag through the stream between some rocks and as I try to drive up the rock ramp back towards the central tower, the jeep just falls through the map. I tried reloading the checkpoint and even started a new game, to attempt the achievement again a few times, with no success. So I'm not sure what the deal with that is.
No remember 30fps is fine, you can't tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps or more, that's what you have been saying for the last 10 years to PC Gamers :P
I played the PS4 version so many times, then I upgraded to the legacy of thieves edition, why occasionally the subtitles doesn't match with Nathan and Sam dialogue? I literally boot up the PS4 version and double check, it does not have that problem there.
Game runs great on my rtx 2060 laptop. I use dlss set to quality and all setttings on ultra except shadows set to high.I disabled turbo and limited game to 62 frames via rtss.I rarely see a frame drop except from a small sec.I get smooth gameplay and fans set to low with gpu and cpu under 70 c.AWESOME
Not sure. They only come out when there's a PlayStation to PC comparison. Really pointless if you ask me. I like having the option to play these PlayStation games on my PC and steamdeck.
Just asking what graphics card and CPU do you have because of poor CPU can result in poor render distance because I have found from when switching from a poor CPU sometimes the render distance suffers due to the much added strain on the CPU
c'est nul fausse comparaison, la version PC c'est des textures 720P bloqué par nauthy Dog, les ordinateurs ne sont pas assez puissant, ça va venir avec la dernière de NVIDIA 4090 qui fait même de l'occulsion ambiant, il faudra une mise a jour.
Comparing a PS5 to a PC doesn’t quite make sense. I spent 50K on my PS5, while achieving similar graphics on a PC would cost around 1.5 lakhs. PCs are built for multitasking and intensive tasks like 3D work and rendering, which require more powerful GPUs. The PS5, on the other hand, is designed specifically for gaming. It’s like comparing a Bugatti to a fighter jet-they serve different purposes. I was happy with the PS4, and I’m just as content with the PS5. I don’t mind the lower FPS compared to a PC and I don’t want to spend that much, so it’s all good.
Playing this on PC in 2024. There is no comparison anymore. Imagine playing the PS5 version in photo mode at 120fps and more. The PC version now shits all over the PS5 version. The framerate is literally dogshit on PS5 compared to PC.
honestly the only difference for me is in the FPS and quality and all those so minor quality parts are not that the PS5 is better than the PC cause that will never be the case its just that the port isn't so great and PS never ported before games on PC and they are still new to that platform
I don't understand why the Nathan Drake Collection wasn't ported to PC as the first thing. Some people haven't had the chance of playing this franchise, which would've been a way better marketing strategy for Naughty Dog, especially seeing that the first two parts of the franchise are the best in the series. I want to play Uncharted 2 and 3 with improved graphics.
@@AintPopular These are PS exclusive games , why would Sony cater to PC ports? Pretty sure GOW has the ps5 upgrade for higher resolution and Frame rate like , GTA5, Witchers 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn has.

Am I the only succer who has really bad stuttering? Most of the times the game goes really well but when there are explosions it starts slowing down big time. Sometimes just a wall with vine will do it. Also in the second game where Cloe and Nadine driving with the jeep the game becomes totally unplayable.... It is a very week port since everything else runs fine on my system including Cyberpunk 2077 on Ultra. Running an RTX 2070 which is the recommended card for 1440p. All other hardware requirements are met too.
Характеристики компьютера пожалуйста Windows 3.0 , GeForce2 MX 400 , Intel Pentium 4 ??? Какие настройки на компьютере ??? подробно пожалуйста, фпс , разрешение и прочее Кстати все эксклюзивные игры выглядят плохо как на консоли так и на пк Всегда важны детали - например автор поставил высокое разрешение на консоли и у него упал фпс но так как видео идет в 25 кадрах то при просмотре вы не почувствуете разницу. Так же автор мог выставить минимальные настройки на пк
I think a better comparison wouldnt be the graphical fidelity, since obviously PC will allways be superior or equal, the real question is how is the PC port running, becuase if this was made/written to run on console hardware not allways the PC ports then run smoothly... i remember old console games like GTA IV and Deadspace to run really poorly in the PC ports... because the code was not optimized to run on windows....
