Uncharted The Nathan Drake Collection PS4 PlayStation 4 1

We're not sure about other countries, but Sony's marketing the absolute crap out of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection here in the UK. Considering that great games like Until Dawn and to a lesser degree Bloodborne got shorter shift, it's been a surprise to see Naughty Dog's series appear during commercials for virtually every major sporting event. But this may be because the Japanese giant sees the PlayStation 4 package as a system seller.

"It certainly has the power to be a system seller this Christmas," PlayStation UK product manager Joe Palmer told MCV. "It offers fantastic value as a gifting proposition, giving newcomers the chance to pick up a PS4 with three great games at a very competitive price. PlayStation's audience base has also changed significantly since the original Uncharted games were released, so there's a huge number of gamers looking to buy a PS4 who may never have played these games before."

We recently saw a statistic suggesting that 80 per cent of current PS4 owners have not played an Uncharted game, so clearly the platform holder's investing in the brand with its current advertising blitz. "We have strong expectations for the success of this title," Palmer continued. "This is genuinely something that players want in anticipation of the launch of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End in March 2016."

The title's launching today in North America and the UK, where it's being accompanied by some pricing promotions. Those of you in the United States can pick up the game alongside a PS4 for $349.99, while a similar bundle will be available in the UK for £299.99. Good offers, then, and great games – but will you be using this compilation as an excuse to jump in, or are you still waiting for greatness to arrive?
