Just in case you missed the memo: Elena is back in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Nathan Drake's put upon partner was revealed in a batch of screenshots that Sony released following this week's E3 2015 press conference, but she also apparently features in the extended footage that's being shown to the press.
The clip that the platform holder publicly released shows Nate and Sully racing a jeep through a densely populated urban area, but the remainder of the sequence escalates into a motorcycle chase and more. Are you impressed by what you've seen of Naughty Dog's latest so far? Ride shotgun in the comments section below.

I think I have enthused over this on other threads but all I can say was 'WOW'!! Incredible the attention to detail, physics etc...
@BAMozzy It's ridiculous, innit.
Yay! The gang's all here.
I know we have seen cut scenes go straight into game play with no loss of detail. When that gun fight stared though and objects started flying off tables, tiles shattering as bullets hit and sand bags reacting to the gunfire and leaking sand though bullet holes, I knew it was special. Obviously seeing all the physics in play was great and of course the destruction too but the level of detail was incredible and the way they interacted with each other and all the different reflective surfaces too.
During the Car chase, they crash through a clothes line and it gets caught and dragged along until catching on the environment. They way objects bounced off or broke on collision etc It wasn't a scripted or on-rails sequence and seemed to be large, open area with multiple routes too which makes it even more impressive. You could even tell what surface they were driving on by the way dust, mud, water was sprayed up off the tyres - just so many little things....
I bet many people didn't notice as they were focused on the action - either Nate or the Jeep instead of the impact of everything in the environment. I certainly recommend watching it again and try looking at the things around the main action...
For me each Uncharted game on the PS3 set a new standard for visual quality. Uncharted 3 was by far the best looking game on console (until the Last of Us - another ND game) and is still better looking than some new gen games. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how good this looked. It just highlights the talent at Naughty Dog. Its not just the high quality of visuals though either as its backed up with quality stories, characters and game play.
"Nathan Drake's put upon partner"
She's just his partner? Did I imagine things halfway thru U3? Like wedding ring things? Really, I thought they were married.
I do like the title. Man I hope this game is better than 3. OK, halfway as good as 3 will probably suffice.
And a happy ending would be nice.
Awesome. She is actually my favorite character in the series. I'm just an all around Emily Rose fan.
I figured she'd be back, wouldn't be an Uncharted game otherwise.
@rjejr I talked about this with @ShogunRok. We came to the conclusion that they were engaged, but could be wrong.
great character model for the last year's model
@rjejr @get2sammyb They either got married or engaged after Among Thieves but kinda fell out, but got better during Drake's Deception, and by end of said game they repaired their marriage/relationship. By 4 they're married for real.
I'm pretty sure a writer or someone at ND confirmed or said something about it, as I vaguely remember something about it. I actually thought @rjejr was making a joke.
Wow, it has a motorcycle chase as well?! Wonder if we get to control the bike as well since its Nathan's brother on the wheels.
Nice to have her back. Something I liked about the demo is how everything is made of the correct material. By this I mean that a wooden box is not bulletproof. Makes the game harder, but more realistic.
@get2sammyb - "they were engaged"
I can't imagine Drake ever getting engaged, that's too halfway for him. He would ask, she would say yes, they would do it. Or she would say no and they wouldn't.
And besides engagement rings have big rocks on them, and no man in history has ever worn an engagement ring. The ring Sully is carrying, when he tells Eeena he traded in his Drake ring for a better one at the end of U3. Sully's not carrying around any engagement ring.
@rjejr perhaps she's not ready for a commitment of that magnitude
Man this game is looking fantastic.
