Uncharted 4 Might Be The Coolest Off-Road Sim Ever
Uncharted 4 Might Be The Coolest Off-Road Sim Ever-August 2024

is a new semi-open-world action/adventure third-person shooting for PlayStation 4. It’s also got a major driving element, and it honestly looks like the most fun you can have in a 4x4 without leaving your couch.

In you find case those big blocks of text over the video as annoying as I did, here’s another purer clip of the driving action in an apparent “Madagascar level:”

The “Jeep” is a not-quite-officially-licensed generic 4x4, with some Toyota FJ40 and a few generations of Jeep CJ/Wrangler design elements mixed together.

But it’s beautifully rendered; look at the way the accessories bump and wiggle as the truck crosses obstacles! And the character dialogue going on while the player drives through this digital jungle is a lot of fun.

The mud is fantastic. The physics of the climbs and slippery spots look really fun, if not realistic, and I think this is the first video game I’ve ever seen that involves physically exiting a vehicle and !

A winch is tool you use to pull heavy things. Mounted to an off-road vehicle, it’s an invaluable…

This driving looks almost as engaging as the ultra-real off-road PC sim , but you know, this game also has the requisite story and violence that make video games really fun. At least for bloodthirsty lunks like myself.

Uncharted 4 is supposed to come out April 26th, for PlayStation 4 only, after which point I’m sure our friends at will have a complete review.

I have never played any of the previous games from the Uncharted series, but it looks like a vaguely Indiana Jonesy run-and-drive-around-and-shoot affair like Tomb Raider or Far Cry. Not explicitly a driving game per se, but as we’ve said before . (Was the Warthog anybody else’s favorite part of the Halo games?)

By the way, if you know other games that combine great driving and action (besides Grand Theft Auto) tell me about them so I can pick them up when they end up on the discount rack at the store!

2016 Audi Q7: It's A Damn Station Wagon
A giant one, but a station wagon nevertheless. What a bold move! The 2016 Audi Q7 is also 716.5 pounds lighter than its predecessor and will be available as a diesel plug-in hybrid with quattro all-wheel drive as well. Just look at that! Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, my favorite guy...

SUVs Will Come Full Circle And Be Wagons Again Soon
At every prodigal SUV and crossover launch this year I was told about the same things: "sportiness," and "car-like qualities." Now that we've seen the , I'm almost convinced automakers are going to make SUVs sleeker and sleeker until they just turn into wagons again. There was a time when...
