If you're one of the three people in the world that didn't break a sweat at Uncharted's otherwise impossible Crushing mode, then you may be pleased to hear that an even more brutal difficulty option will be making its way into Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection. We're working off second-hand information here, but Kotaku claims that the taxing tier has been designed with the "game's most skilled testers" in mind.
That means more bullet sponges and pin-point grenade tosses, then, right? Well, not quite. The publication also asked port house BluePoint whether it will be dialling down the health points of some of the release's more obnoxious enemies, and it indicated that it will be recalculating the amount of damage that foes can receive. It's also promised some control tweaks, so it sounds like this is more than your average up-res.
Indeed, the awful SIXAXIS motion controls that Sony subjected us to during the early days of the PlayStation 3 have been removed. No longer will you need to tilt your controller in order to cross logs. There will be an option for you to turn on gyro grenade tosses, however, but we suspect that anyone with half a brain will ensure that that's set to 'off' at all times. Seriously, what a terrible idea that mechanic was.

@Swiket Agreed!
Another 3 platinums for me. Can't wait to play these games again. Finished Crushing on all games on the PS3 and I didn't think it was overly difficult. Professional on World at War is difficult.
It will be great if they add a new difficulty to the games, & also add a trophy for it.
I finished the first game on Hard a few weeks ago, and it was ridiculous near the end. Getting flanked rather easily, so I'd get offed in two shots, barely being able to move without risk of getting shredded. It was rough, and I shudder to think about Crushing.
I'm currently doing 2 on Hard. So far I'm not getting smashed as badly, but I expect to be raging at a few select parts. Needless to say, I probably won't try this new harder difficulty.
what I want to know is, will all the games be on one disc? or will each game have a disc? I hope its on 3 discs but I fear not...
@deathvallydemon why would you want 3 separate discs?
@SKC_Diamond because I'm daft like that lol
@deathvalleydemon lol nah its all goods man everyone has here own preferences
Yeah, to hell with enemies who can take three RPGs to the face. Always absolutely crap in relatively realistic games.
Crushing mode nearly made me HATE the Uncharted games (not that i had to play it in that mode anyway) So i will just be playing it on normal mode on the PS4(F-the Trophies. I haven't got time to play a game over & over again dying just for a silly Trophy Even tho i do love the sound of the Trophy popping up)
"No longer will you need to tilt your controller in order to cross logs."
This is great news...
I would like a realistic mode personally or something close to it. 2 shots on your or them and thats it
That's good news. I'm glad they're keeping the motion for the grenades. It's a brilliant idea that really improves it and makes it smoother. See, I instead of having half a brain, I have a full brain that lets me comprehend how great the mechanic is.
Thats good to here as I've finished the all the series on hard, which to be honest, weren't all that hard, well apart from one or two parts.
I had recently restarted Uncharted 2 on crushing mode but, I think I'll leave that untill the remasters.
It would be nice if we had the option to start on crushing mode instead of unlocking after finishing on hard. The reason I say that is because Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain is due out soon after and I doubt I'll finish them before that.
I still have The Witcher,Elder Scrolls Online, Batman and a few other that I sill need to finish.
I wish I would hurry up and win the Lottery Jackpot so I can give up work and use my week day to play all the great games we're getting. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me and if I win, I'll take you all to next years E3
That's one thing I hated about the harder modes in the Uncharted series. I don't wanna go all Call Of Duty 'One bullet to the pinkie toe will kill you', but when it takes several clips of an AK-47 to take down a REGULAR enemy? Not fun.
