At this point, it’s probably fairly safe to assume that there will be an Uncharted Collection on the PlayStation 4. Sony has said that it doesn’t want to flood the market with re-releases, but does want to provide people that didn’t own a PlayStation 3 with an opportunity to play some of the previous generation’s best games – and very few titles are more important than Nathan Drake’s trio of escapades.
As such, it’s more a question of when these will arrive, rather than if. And, while it’s still yet to acknowledge the inevitable next-gen bundle, it has dropped the biggest hint yet that a remaster is imminent, by including the unannounced game in a PlayStation Blog post about the recently added YouTube app. The screenshot, which has since been removed, shows someone trimming a clip, which includes a still from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Now, it’s clear that this is a mock-up, because the dummy tags employed in the image actually reference Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – but the platform holder’s seeming eagerness to drop the picture shortly after it was uploaded suggests that it may have let the cat out of the bag. Could the collection be announced at the PlayStation Experience event in December? Do you even want to play these games again? Think it through in the comments section below.

There are a lot of 360 owners that never got to play Uncharted, so I understand why Sony did this, its a great series of games too recommended to anyone who hasn't played, but I will only be buying the newer Uncharted as I refuse to go back in time myself. (but then I only will watch a film once or twice then ignore it forever..).
I was very late to this series especially since i got a PS3 years after it first released. The Uncharted games i payed a total of $40 for in NEW condition. $20 for 1 and 2, $20 for 3. and Golden Abyss I got for free thanks to PS Plus.
It would make sense to release a collection of the past games before releasing the fourth game, just look at the Master Chief Collection.
Personally I already own all three games on PS3 but this would be great for people who haven't played the Uncharted games yet, because most of the PS4 user base come from Nintendo or Microsoft who have owned Wii or 360 but not PS3. So this would make perfect sense to get them to play the first three games before playing the fourth one.
Uncharted 1 doesn't really hold up these days. That's the only problem I foresee with this.
Personally I'll be pre ordering this instantly! I've got platinum trophy on all 3 previously and would love to go through again just before uncharted 4 is released, Id do the same with God of war.
Being an Ex-Box guy I would be all over this if it materialised and I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be alone in doing so
Well played Sony
The best is yet to come...
The best has already came...
@get2sammyb sonic 1 still holds up, whats wrong with uncharted?
@get2sammyb I'd say it's essential to get to know drake before his better games. Kind of like how mass effect 2 was hard for me to jump into without playing 1, even though it was technically a much inferior game.
I was a 360 gamer last gen but about a year ago, 4 months before getting my PS4, I sold my 360 to buy a PS3 so I could play Uncharted, Journey, TLOU and other Sony games I'd missed out on.
Now most of these games are being remade for the PS4 I'm a little annoyed as I went through all that hassle to play what will likely be the inferior versions of those games! Arse.
As I played them so recently I doubt I'll be interested in replaying them so soon either. Oh well, c'est la vie!
Hell to the yes I'll be getting that. The UNCHARTED SERIES was by far one of my favourites and I am so happy that Sony is going to respect the immense storytelling and talented developers behind it by giving it a well deserved polish and clean up for when the 4th turns up...however I will be sad that the series has to end but Nate will always have a special place in my gamer heart
I'm mostly cynical in my opinion towards remastered PS3 games but ports of PS3 exclusives that some will have missed last gen makes sense and Uncharted is a really really good series that it would be a shame for those newer to sony to miss out on.
I never got to play some of these games. So, heck yeah! I'm down with these games coming over the PS4.
Usually not my style to post cliche's but somebody has to do it -
In other news, the sun came up today.
I predict not 1 but 2 collectors ed. pre 4 and post 4. How many collections has GoW had?
The only question is will they be able to make the Vita game playable on PS4 b/c its false collection w/o it.
@get2sammyb I completely disagree
@get2sammyb I completely disagree
@viciousarcanum Fair enough. Combat encounters are dull compared to sequels, though.
I really hope this comes to Vita!
Constantly being excited to play/buy old games again is a tad repetitive for my taste, if I want to play Uncharted 1-3 I'll turn on my PS3.
@Jazzer94 I'm kinda the same. I still have my PS3 and Uncharted 1, so if I want to play the games I'll just get the rest for PS3, especially since they're dirt cheap now.
Of course, this does provides a way for others to experience the series, so hey, if you haven't played Uncharted, this collection doesn't seem too bad.
Personally, I'm tired of seeing re-releases on PS4, and since this is for a game that I have one installment of as well as being rather easy to get these days, I'm probably gonna pass.
Hell No New Gen New Games leave the past in past we living in the new generation, so 360 owners who are PS4 owners u guyz are going to enjoy the shiz out of that series BOYAH 😚💨💨💨💨
i cant believe sony !!!
it says you sould verify your account via email, but it wont send me the email !!!
i try it from ps4 and pc and nothing !!!
@Sonicfan11589 Since you played all 4, which you think is better?
@get2sammyb I agree the mechanics in the first game are a little janky when compared to the two other games. I would definitely buy this collection though.
This would be an insta-buy for me, despite already owning the games on PS3. That said, my knowledge of what's going on with Now isn't the strongest... Could this be indicating that the trilogy will be available via Now streaming, rather than a full blown rerelease?
Well as someone who went with an Xbox 360 last gen I would definitely rent this at least just to see what all the hype is about.
I've already beaten Uncharted 1-3 (don't own #3 yet though, but will eventually).
However, I would still gladly buy a PS4 HD Remaster collection.
@get2sammyb I'm hoping that they will update Uncharted 1&2 a bit to help solve the problem. Even U2 feels a bit dated compared U3.
I can see this happening and yes I'd buy it.
@get2sammyb
Uncharted 1 holds up just fine. Just played it again somewhat recently & it was a lot of fun.
@rjejr
Yea exactly. This was so predictable. Sony releasing old PS3 games on the PS4 is getting ridiculous. Any developer wasted on this project is one developer not being used to get Uncharted 4 out the door quicker.
Although, if it somehow helps get Golden Abyss on PSTV, then that would be great.
This is one series I would purchase again.
Enough with the remakes, why did I buy a ps4 if all they are putting out is last gen games with new paint? What a waste, as ive already gotten rid of my ps3, as I was looking forward to new games, guess sony has pulled the wool over my eyes!!!!!
@Godsire- highly agree with you, if they want me to play ps3 games over and over again, with new paint, why come out with the ps4?!?!?!?!?!?
@LampShade they do this for the people who never got to play the games on the last generation of consoles, there are some perfectly good games on the ps4 that arnt remakes like Drive club, watch dogs. Also they do this to get you hyped for the big games this year and next year. They need to make the games you know and remastered ones are the easiest to bring put before the beat games next year like Uncharted 4 and The order 1886
