00:03Uncharted 4 Survival Mode
00:03Hello everyone, thank you much for joining me today on the live stream stage.
00:07I've got Vineth Argarwal here with me and we are going to talk about Uncharted 4 Survival Mode.
00:11Very excited, got co-op action as well.
00:14So walk us through a little bit, I know there's 50 different waves of action that you have to fight
00:18your way through.
00:18So walk us through a little bit of how that plays out.
00:20Yeah, so it's 50 waves, we wanted longevity, but we broke it up into these chunks of 10 stages.
00:25So you're playing 5 waves at a time, it's like a 15-20 minute experience.
00:27Like one of the key kind of pillars is accessibility.
00:31So we wanted people to be able to play like kind of in chunks that are like digestible,
00:36not have to commit like three hours of time, right?
00:38Because some of these horde modes, like you play and you have to really commit two to three hours.
00:42So we play kind of in chunks and you play across maps.
00:45So we had to leverage the maps we had in multiplayer across these 10 maps
00:49and as you play kind of transitioning through these maps in kind of a nice logical fashion.
00:54And yeah, it's pretty exciting.
00:56Now does each of the different waves have its own unique objective
00:59or is there kind of a general thread throughout all of them?
01:01Right, so we actually have five different objective types.
01:03The core one is survival, which is just killing enemies, the standard horde.
01:07But then we have also siege, which is killing enemies from a certain location,
01:10which actually feels very different because you're defending a location,
01:13and you just throw grenades in and you sort of have to like defend against them while killing them.
01:17We also have treasure race, which is one of our cool modes where you go through
01:20and kind of collect treasures as you're going through.
01:22Like if you remember Sonic collecting the rings, it kind of feels like that.
01:25We've got like 10 treasures going down like a path, collecting a bunch of treasures.
01:29You have to collect them while you're killing enemies.
01:31So avoiding the enemies while collecting the treasures.
01:33We also have Marked Man, which is kind of a variant of survival.
01:36You're killing a particular target.
01:38And so the target's kind of flanked by a bunch of enemies and so it's really difficult.
01:41So it's not just the one guy out there.
01:42So you have to find the one marked guy in and around everybody else?
01:45Well, there's multiple marked guys, but you have to defeat them.
01:46You can't just defeat anyone.
01:48You have to focus on those.
01:49And they're like the big armored guys and stuff.
01:50So pretty tough.
01:52Yeah.
01:53And we have the boss waves, which are kind of our most favorite objective
01:56because it showcases our pirates.
01:59Oh, from 4.
02:00Yeah.
02:01Oh, nice.
02:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:02Like Henry Avery and Adam Baldridge.
02:03So are they ghost pirates?
02:04Like zombie pirates?
02:05Yeah, they're like ghost pirates.
02:06Yeah.
02:07We give them the mystical abilities you see in the multiplayer,
02:09like the Wrath of Eldorado.
02:10And we have one that's focused on the teleport mystical that we have.
02:14And so we try to make them a little bit more fantastical,
02:16a little bit more exciting.
02:17And we think they turn out pretty well, actually.
02:20Nice.
02:20Yeah.
02:20You get to co-op with either up to two of your own friends,
02:22so three of you guys can play all together.
02:24Or if you don't have any friends, that's totally cool.
02:26We've taken care of you.
02:27And you can play with an AI character.
02:29Yeah, exactly.
02:29So we want it to be accessible solo as well,
02:31which is something we haven't done in our previous games.
02:33We understand that there's a large segment of players
02:35who don't have PlayStation Plus,
02:36who would still love to play this co-op mode, survival.
02:39So we gave them the opportunity to play solo with a buddy.
02:42And the buddy revives you.
02:43He feels like a real player in a lot of ways.
02:45He's very competent.
02:45He can take down enemies.
02:47He can do synced melee moves.
02:48It's pretty cool.
02:49That's awesome.
02:50But it's also dynamic in the sense that people can drop in and out as they want.
02:53So say you're hosting a match.
02:55You start off with a buddy, but people can join in at any time
02:58and replace that buddy with a real player.
03:00Oh, that's really different.
03:01That's not a lot of what you see usually.
03:03Yeah, yeah.
03:03It's actually a pretty unique feature, I think.
03:05It'll make the mode a lot more seamless
03:07and a lot easier to play with your friends.
03:09See, your friend can only hop in for a couple of waves.
03:11They can drop in in the middle of the match
03:12and then drop back out if they need to.
03:14Like, it's really flexible.
03:15That's really cool.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Now talk to me a little about leveling up your character
03:18as you go through the waves.
03:20Right.
03:20So this is another thing we want to bring
03:21kind of as one of our pillars of longevity.
03:23We want this to be ultimately replayable.
03:26So we added a leveling system,
03:27kind of like what we call an RPG light system.
03:29so the character actually gains health and damage
03:31as they level up
03:32and they'll become better and better at the waves.
03:34So if you're having trouble with the wave,
03:35you'll level up and you'll get better and better.
03:37It'll be easier.
03:38Cool.
03:38Now I'm looking over here
03:39at some of the gameplay footage
03:40that we're looking at here
03:41and you can see where like you have your team,
03:43you're gaining money.
03:44What can you use to spend that money on?
03:45Yes.
03:46So this is kind of a function we added to the multiplayer,
03:49which was the in-game store.
03:50We have a semblance of that here with the arsenal.
03:52So you gain cash as you kill enemies
03:54and you can use this cash at the arsenal.
03:56See those three green icons on the radar.
03:57Those are the arsenal.
03:58They're accessible at any time.
03:59We also give you 30 seconds of intermission
04:01in between waves to use it kind of at more leisure.
04:03To catch your breath?
04:04Yeah. Yeah.
04:04Because it gets pretty intense.
04:06So you go to the arsenal,
04:08you can buy a number of different things.
04:09You can buy gear.
04:10You can buy mysticals.
04:11You can buy weapons.
04:13You can also refill your ammo.
04:14Okay.
04:15And so sort of depending on the wave,
04:17there's different strategies.
04:18Here's the arsenal right here.
04:19You see this person's buying the grenade.
04:22Gear in particular is really useful.
04:24Buying grenades is one of the best kind of gear you can buy.
04:27It's really useful.
04:28But in addition to that, you can buy weapons.
04:30And for different waves,
04:31different weapons are more powerful.
04:33So like the siege mode I was talking about,
04:36where you're fighting from a different,
04:36like a particular location.
04:38The enemies are usually pretty far off.
04:39So you want sniper rifles.
04:40You want the Mettler,
04:41which is a single shot scoped weapon,
04:44which is a lot more effective than kind of a close range weapon.
04:46But then for other waves,
04:47where you're doing survival,
04:48you're going to mow down enemies as you're running through.
04:50Like an automatic weapon makes a lot of sense.
04:53What weapons take down the ghost pirates?
04:55Oh, yes.
04:56So every boss has some sort of strategy to them.
04:59So we wanted the boss to be a little bit more
05:01than just a sack of potatoes,
05:03like you're just shooting them a bunch.
05:04We wanted there to be some strategy to it.
05:06So one of the first bosses that we showcased here at PSX
05:10is the Djinn Warlord.
05:12And the best way to defeat him is fight fire with fire.
05:15So he's a fire boss,
05:16but if you shoot explosives at him,
05:17he'll go down.
05:18When he's down,
05:19he takes I think four times damage,
05:21and he's just sitting there
05:22so you can like wail into him,
05:24and he'll come back out of it.
05:25So the sort of the strategy
05:26is to get the grenade launcher off of his minions,
05:29use the grenade launcher to hit him,
05:30and then shoot him.
05:32See?
05:32We're giving you tips on how to play the game
05:34right here on the live stream.
05:35That's awesome.
05:36And then that's the other function of the arsenal
05:37is you can go to the arsenal
05:38and buy the grenade launcher instead if you need to.
05:41So we think it's kind of an interesting flexible system.
05:43and it allows for a lot of strategy.
05:45People learn these waves.
05:46The waves are kind of like they're set.
05:49The reason for that is we wanted people
05:50to be able to learn the strategy
05:51and be able to master it.
05:53Yeah.
05:53Well, that's true.
05:54Like you were talking about replay abilities.
05:56I'm sure that as you've played through the game
05:57multiple times you start to realize
05:59these kinds of strategies
05:59and like what works for you in this one
06:02and you're like oh,
06:02we'll play the next wave.
06:03That's totally not going to work at all.
06:05Exactly.
06:05Yeah.
06:06And I mean this also comes back to the team element.
06:08People start to learn.
06:09I mean in the office as we've been playing,
06:11we learn certain strategies for certain waves.
06:12like okay, I'll hold up in this spot.
06:14You watch this direction.
06:15I'll watch this direction.
06:16And like we love the team element
06:17that comes from our multiplayer.
06:19Competitive multiplayer is very team based.
06:20We want to have that same kind of DNA in the co-op.
06:23So we want the co-op to feel very team based as well.
06:25Very cool.
06:26This way we have the down system
06:27and you can revive your teammates.
06:28So there's those last stands you get
06:30before you all die, right?
06:31So like it's really exciting.
06:32This is the Jhin Warlord I was just talking about.
06:34This is our boss wave.
06:36We have a nice intro cinematic
06:37and it's a really intense battle.
06:41Speaking more with the longevity actually.
06:43So mastering the waves.
06:44We have the star rating system.
06:45You see in the top left over the radar
06:47there's three stars.
06:49We set up a system where basically to earn stars
06:52you need to get a certain amount of time.
06:54You need to beat the stage a certain amount of time.
06:56So to get three stars is really tough.
06:57and we designed the time limit to be like something
06:59you have to like learn the waves
07:00and do really good at it.
07:01So.
07:02Yeah.
07:03And again that just adds to more
07:04the replayability of it.
07:05Cause I know every time when I'm like
07:06I only got two stars.
07:08Well I gotta go play that again now.
07:09Cause I want all three.
07:10Yeah.
07:10Yeah.
07:10And actually we tied some pretty cool rewards
07:13to the star system.
07:14So we have these skeleton skins.
07:16Which is a throwback to Uncharted 3.
07:18Uncharted 3 co-op we had skeleton skins as well.
07:20And people played the co-op just to earn those skins.
07:22So they're basically like Drake, Elena,
07:24a couple of our characters in skeleton form.
07:27Oh cool.
07:28And it's pretty cool.
07:28What is all this blue stuff
07:29that's flying around the screen here?
07:30Oh yeah yeah yeah.
07:31Go past that.
07:32Right there.
07:33So these blue things,
07:34these are the heavy weapons.
07:36So some enemies that you kill
07:37will drop heavy weapons.
07:38And they're like,
07:39they kind of flow,
07:40they look a little more special.
07:41Like I was seeing sort of in this,
07:43in this boss wave,
07:45you have to find the grenade launcher, right?
07:46Yeah.
07:47So the grenade launcher is one of those
07:47blue weapons to take down the boss.
07:50Here you're seeing a weapon drop.
07:52So we have loot in the game,
07:53kind of a semblance of loot.
07:54Bosses drop unique weapon levels.
07:56So as you level up,
07:58you also gain access to more weapons.
08:00The weapons start off at level one.
08:02And there's five levels to each weapon.
08:04So as you defeat bosses,
08:05they'll drop a new level of weapon
08:06you've never unlocked before.
08:07And it upgrades your weapons.
08:08So in addition to your player level increasing,
08:10your weapon levels also increase.
08:12That's very cool.
08:13So does each of the different waves
08:15take place in a different location
08:16from the actual game itself?
08:18Or is it kind of inspired by?
08:19They're all inspired by,
08:21so this is a prison map for example.
08:22The prison map is based on one of the early levels
08:25from Uncharted 4 when you're in the prison as Drake.
08:28And so all the maps are sort of inspired by,
08:30but they're not like direct copies.
08:31We kind of re-engineered them for multiplayer.
08:35If we could not do that tower one
08:37where I have to defeat everybody
08:38and be all stealthed,
08:39I would really appreciate that.
08:40I'm pretty sure that's not in there.
08:41So I think you're okay.
08:43The cool thing about the maps and people respond to this
08:45particularly with the prison map
08:47is that each map feels really different.
08:49So the prison map is really close quarters.
08:50It's got a lot of 90 degree angles.
08:52You have a lot of these come across a corner
08:53and the guy's got a shock.
08:54You're like, oh crap.
08:56So I think that was one of the big wins we got here
08:58with the five waves and the transition between maps
09:01is that every map has its own feel.
09:03It feels really fresh.
09:05Which is I think a big win.
09:07People like that.
09:07It keeps it feeling varied.
09:09Yeah.
09:10Well, that's very cool.
09:11Yeah.
09:12Very excited to play it.
09:13I know a lot of Uncharted fans are always excited
09:15for more Uncharted.
09:15However we can get our hands on more Uncharted.
09:18That's it.
09:18We'll take everything we can get.
09:19So thank you so much for joining us here today.
09:21Yeah, absolutely.
