A collection was launched this week Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection For the PlayStation 5, which brings with it the first remaster for the PS5 of the Uncharted series, which includes the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End From 2016 and the Uncharted: The Lost Legacy From 2017.
Both are pretty successful titles from Sony’s old game series, for me it’s a competition between Uncharted 4 and Uncharted 3 when it comes to the best game in the series. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a very endearing game that shows that the series may continue without Nathan Drake, and allow sub-characters like Chloe Fraser the opportunity to shine but it already depends on the player’s taste and how much he connects.
However, is it a novelty worth holding on to, given the likelihood of you already playing in one, or these two titles in the last 5 years? Overall, I think so, provided they make use of the upgrade plan offered by Sony. If you have one or both games on the PS4, you can simply pay another $ 10 (and not the full price) to own this new collection on the PS5.
And given that none of the titles are particularly expensive through the PSN, I think it’s a solid enough deal, and the visual upgrade on the PS5 is significant enough that both games are worth playing them again. They were already graphically impressive on PS4, and that remains true on PS5.
Both games offer three graphic options. One is 4K tuned to 30 frames per second all the way through, which looks absolutely fantastic and should provide the visual effects and picture quality that will suit all those who want to run the game on their huge TV with all the new features, OLED anyone ?.
The second is 1440p mode tuned to 60fps, and the third is 1080p going at a whopping 120fps. Although playing the game on 4K really looks very impressive, I as one who has been playing more on the PC lately, your arrays are much more frames than resolution and I found myself playing more on 1440P. The reasons are because I have a 1440P screen (and also 4K) and I just prefer to play at 60 frames per second than 30. Going down to 1080 has already been too much but playing Uncharted at 120fps is an experience but basically almost every game I play at screen refresh rate It really enhances the experience.
In terms of upgrades on the newer console, the sound gets the standard 3D audio amplification, 3D Audio and the PS5 basically eliminates the charging times with its fast SSD. As for other features, well there are some of them but they are not necessarily noticeable. The game does use the Haptic Feedback of the DualSense remote, so you get a variety of vibration features that will help mimic climbing, falling, shooting, etc., a simple and fun feature as you notice it.
While the game does use the DualSense adaptive triggers, I had a hard time noticing a significant difference in shooting time, but the driving stages seemed to make better use of this feature, especially that it allows acceleration or braking without pressing the buttons on the remote all the way.
However, even if the only significant upgrades were the different visual options, it’s still really fun to play both of these games. Some of the action sequences and driving / chasing segments in Uncharted 4, and also in The Lost Legacy, create some of the most exciting and dynamic action moments to be found today in AAA games, and this is still true 5 years later.
So if you’ve never played one, or maybe both games, then I think it’s worth a try this collection. Of course those who have already played it and love the game, the upgrade discount makes this collection a worthy addition to the PS5 library. At least for now this is one of the games that anyone can show off with their console technology to friends and family. This is a good and quality innovation of two excellent games, which are well worth playing again, hopefully it will reach the sixth computer in the future so we can squeeze some more capacity.
