Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception BLLP #12 | The Nathan Drake Collection
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception – Gameplay Mechanics Breakdown | Let’s Play + Combat Analysis Welcome to my Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Let’s Play—a deep-dive gameplay walkthrough and critique as part of my ongoing backlog completion series. In this video, I take a closer look at the mechanics, combat systems, and gameplay evolution from Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 1. ==🎮⚔️Gameplay & Combat System Changes⚔️🎮== Uncharted 3 builds on the cinematic action foundation of the series but makes key mechanical tweaks, including: ✅ Improved melee combat system with contextual attacks ✅ The long-awaited ability to throw grenades back at enemies ✅ Dynamic midair weapon grabs from fallen foes These additions bring a bit more fluidity and flair to the third-person shooter formula. However, the game also carries over major flaws from Uncharted 2, including: ❌ Unresponsive controls and input delay ❌ Sluggish character movement and animation hitches ❌ Poor visual cues and weak player communication in combat Worse yet, Uncharted 3 abandons the more tactical, set-piece-driven encounters of Uncharted 2 in favor of wave-based enemy spam—a frustrating return to Uncharted 1’s chaotic level design, where players are often overwhelmed from all angles without clear strategy. ==🦇 Batman Begins + Arkham Asylum Influence?🦇== One surprising design direction: Uncharted 3 feels heavily inspired by Batman Begins and Batman: Arkham Asylum. From the revamped hand-to-hand combat to fear-based hallucination sequences, the game borrows several cinematic and mechanical elements that feel lifted from Arkham’s DNA—though toned down for a linear action-adventure experience. "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a 2015 video game compilation developed by Bluepoint Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It includes remastered versions of the first three main games in Naughty Dog's Uncharted series: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007), Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (2009) and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (2011). The Nathan Drake Collection was released in October 2015 exclusively for PlayStation 4. Players control Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who travels the world to uncover various historical mysteries. Development of The Nathan Drake Collection began in 2014, and required the largest team ever assembled by Bluepoint. To take advantage of the greater capabilities of the console, Bluepoint were able to remodel elements of the gameplay, including the shooting and grenade mechanics, some controls, and the camera schemes. In-game cutscenes were overhauled to improve lighting, visuals, and character models, while online leaderboards and motion blur were introduced. The Nathan Drake Collection only contains the single-player story modes, with all multiplayer content absent. The Nathan Drake Collection includes the single player campaigns of the first three mainline titles in the Uncharted series: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Played from a third-person perspective, they are action-adventure video games with platforming elements. In these games, the player assumes control of treasure hunter Nathan Drake, and must explore dangerous ruins, defeat enemies using various firearms and solve various puzzles. All three remastered games run in 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second, while the music was enhanced to support surround sound systems. Bluepoint attempted to unify the gameplay across all three games. To achieve this, it overhauled the aim assist system and grenade gameplay from Drake's Fortune to match that of the other games, and altered Uncharted 3's camera movement. The team also remapped buttons to ensure that the control schemes across the three games are consistent. The aiming mechanics across all three games were improved. The game also features graphical improvements, with Bluepoint re-rendering the cutscenes, enhancing the lighting and the visual effects, making the models and textures more detailed, and incorporating ambient occlusion and motion blur, both of which were not supported in the original games. The team added friends leaderboards, new difficulty settings, trophies and a photo mode into the game, though the multiplayer components in both Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 were not included in the package."
