You'll be able to steal a few precious minutes with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection later this summer, as the PlayStation Blog has revealed that a demo for the forthcoming PlayStation 4 compilation is in the works. It's unclear which entry from the adventuring series' PlayStation 3 trilogy will be included in the sampler, but port house BluePoint has been showing press the infamous helicopter chase sequence from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves this week.
According to the aforementioned publication, the developer is "upgrading character models, environment textures, lighting, and special effects across the board, bringing all three games as close to visual modernity as possible while ensuring that they remain true to their original creative direction". Perhaps most interestingly, though, the studio's also tweaking various gameplay mechanics – presumably so that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune doesn't feel so desperately dated.
It may be yet another re-release, but the Uncharted franchise was consistently one of the best on the PS3, so we're actually looking forward to stepping into Drake's shoes all over again. Will you be coveting this collection like buried treasure? X marks the spot in the comments section below.

@Swiket You're in for a treat!
Excited for these games. Should keep me busy.
I watched a video from ign and it looks good but hard to tell the quality. Yeah I read Sid shumsn impression of him playing the game before coming to this site. Well at least we get to play a demo of the game before we decide to re buy the trilogy. I want the collection since this is probably one of my most beloved franchises but I really want the beta to UC 4. I already played UC 1-3 many times but it would be nice to have them on ps4.
Bluepoint hopefully showing how new-gen ports should be handled.
hopefully the graphics for uncharted 1 are majorly overhauled, it's the only one in the series that doesn't really hold up as well.
this is a remaster I can agree on since most people on ps4 didn't have a ps3 or a last gen console at all including me this will be good to hype people for uncharted 4 so I cant wait to pick this up
Never made it through them so defiantly
Maybe they can make the guys in 1 die in less than 87 bullet hits. On easy. I think there was 1 who died in only 85 but I might have hit him with a grenade first.
2 was so good I might rebuy if sold separtely as a DL, I'll just YouTube the cut scenes from the other 2 before playing 4.
Hey @get2sammyB you still saying November for 4? You seemed pretty adamant when it was supposed to come out this year since the 1st 3 all came out in November. That would be a pretty serious delay though, no?
Updating gameplay mechanics? If done right, this will make this an insta-buy. If they put the 3's melee system in the first two games, then I'll get it in a heartbeat. I would imagine they'll add the throwing back the grenade mechanic from Uncharted 3 as well to the first two.
Wait, I thought the Collection will include an access to UC4's Multiplayer Beta. Are we getting a demo for the single-player campaign as well?
@Jaz007 Agreed. Even though I already have the series on PS3, seeing some updated mechanics makes this more appealing.
@WanderingBullet Judging from the wording, I believe that the U4 Multiplayer beta will be included with the collection, but the single player demo is for this collection.
Having seen the difference a resolution bump and 60 fps made to TLOU this is must for me. Loved Uncharted 2 and only played part of 3 but hopefully the first gets some serious attention to bring it up to the standard of its sequels
Demo? What does that mean i.e the lack of Demos this Gen is disappointing Saying that at least i get to try a few games each month with PS PLUS so that makes up for it(a bit anyway) + Will we ever get 'streaming' Demos like(i think) SONY said they wanted to do with the PS4. That would be cool
@DerMeister Oh, my bad. I was in a hurry and misread the article. Thanks.
I have fond memories of Uncharted more then anything, I got it when it first released & was amazed by the graphics at the time.& it was the first time cutscenes & gameplay was seemless, which believe it or not made quite the difference. Uncharted 2 is the best Uncharted game, but l am looking forward to playing Uncharted again.
@rjejr 4 was already delayed into 2016. It'll probably come out in March.
Well I've never played any of these and will definitely get this collection. I have played the vita version and that was awesome, so fun and one of my favourite games so definitely going to get this collection.
I love a demo, wish there were more...
@Carl-G Probably not because most publishers think demos effect sales.
Any ideas on when this collection is getting released???
@get2sammyb - I know it was delayed util 2016, I was wondering if you were still holding to your November proclamation for 2016? When I asked a while back when it was due, it had a vague fall/holiday release, you basically derided me by saying it could only come out in November b/c all the previous games had been out in November. Derision sticks w/ a man.
