The first 3 games will never come to PC

[Mållgan]

Sony and Naughty Dogs have made a statement about why they did not port the first 3 games. Their reason is that the first 3 games' graphics are outdated and ugly. You can read it yourself here:

In other words they are too lazy to put in the effort for a graphical overhaul of the first 3 games. All this at the same time Sony is forcing a remake if TLOU 1 on us....Regardless doesn't matter to me since i dont spend money on anything from Sony.

Some of the most popular games on Steam are indie pixel games.

I think they'd be fine.

What's stopping them from remastering the game with an upto date engine like Unreal 5 for example?
With the Last of US coming to the small screen in series format in a short while I should imagine there will be renewed interest with a larger gaming audience looking for previous Playstation games to be available for Windows.

My question would be; is this game comprehensible without knowledge of the first 3? I've not played them but I'm sure I'd get a kick out of 4 if I knew what the heck was going on.

I mean i'd be fine with PS3 assets just the higher resolution alone and some handy features that we'd expect on PC and im good

I honestly dont think they said never they just explained why they didnt start with UC1-3
"We felt that, while Nathan Drake’s first three adventures from the PlayStation 3 console still stand the test of time narratively, they would require a major overhaul visually to stand-up to modern PC releases and the expectations players may have." Chances are since sony is giving out remasters left and right UC1-3 Is gonna have a Re-remaster for ps5

ill stick to rpcs3

I'm not surprised given they're the studio that made that utterly unnecessary LoUP1 "remake".

They need to get rid of that mentality. New games are expected to have visual excellence but Nightdive has shown that simple remasters for classics are all that's needed for older titles. All this statement means is that we'll have less games of Sony's rich back catalogue ported unless Sony decides to waste more resources "remaking" games that don't need them.

This also means that PC players only get Return of the King without seeing Fellowship or Two Towers first.

I've now lost hope for classic God of War and inFamous ports.

asked for refund..probably my fault for not reading close enough but i swear i read this collection as being all the games. I don't want jump into the 4th game of series not knowing anything what happened before.

Yeah I wonder why they can't just port the Nathan Drake Collection to PC? I guess they want pretty graphics to really show off the games like they did when Uncharted 1-3 were new On PS3. But with the Last of Us Pt 1 they didn't do damn thing with it it looks similar to the Remastered version on PS4.

4th game works like a standalone game, you do not need to now anything from the first three installments.
