Why's it only £50 (and £42 in some places)? That's cheaper than most AAA game yet cost to make must be extravagant. Is this deferring costs to DLC as part of the financial management, because £60-70 is too high for first day sales?

Something to note, this game was available for pre-order dating back to 2014! Only orders made in 2016 are counted towards the ranking AFAIK.
It is only 59,99 euros here some AAA games are 69,99 euros... Great price and in an interview a Sont executives said it is the most expensive Sony first party comparable to AAA 3rd party games budget...
It's almost as if Sony want to sell a gazillion copies very quickly.
Jokes aside, I have the impression that first parties tend to be cheaper than some big third party games. And even not so big ones.
SF5 is still £54, for half a game. Sony always tends to launch first party titles at £49 on PSN.

I suppose relative profit margins are higher on first party titles so they can compete on price. Doesn't that count as anticompetitive behaviour? He says, not having a PS4 and not playing UC4 and trying to distract everyone else from having their fun...
Not sure why it would be anticompetitive.
As for the lack of PS4 and UC4, you disappoint me.

Thats dumping - if Sony were charging £5 you'd have a point but what is the market value of a game? Fallout 4 cost me £49.99 and the Witcher 3 was £46.99 - both PSN UK day one cost. It's the likes of EA, Activision and Ubisoft that have you thinking that £50 for a AAA game is cheap.
It's good
It's really gooooood

While they're few and far between, there have been quite a few exceptions to the 70€ rule in the 3rd party realm as well.
More and more spoiler in the opens.
Indeed. Anyone intending to play the game later should avoid this thread. That also means me, meaning I can't really come here to moderate...

People should be using the spoiler tags. If not, suspend them. It'll give them more time to play!

Started playing last night, and color me impressed! I am into the game's story and the rope mechanics are awesome! Love the characters, sound, level sets and story so far! Congrats to ND on some fine work!
The game is easily the best Uncharted for me. But not as good as TLOU. Which is the usual opinion anyways. Gunplay feels really good and the input lag is good for a 30fps game. I think even better than in the previous 30fps Uncharteds (I could be wrong, just feels like that).
I agree with @VFX_Veteran the rope feels really good. And generally the character controls very well and in a very intuitive way. They put a lot of love into this. Again, one of the best among the videogame industry, a new reference that many others multi-millions sellers should follow...
The characters models and animation are the best among the industry. Never seen this before in a videogame (during gameplay, as usual I don't care about cutscenes positive stuff). They also added a physics aspect of many different things (small or not) in the world, feels really good.
I wish they would include a grain filter toggle. That bothers me more than the sharpening filter. It would improve the clarity hence reducing the need for an artificial sharpening filter...
The camera acceleration is still bothering me, even if they have improved the settings compared to the multiplayer. Still too much artificial (and unnecessary) inertia. And it's rather difficult to move the camera at a moderate speed, it's either too slow or too fast.
The enemies still need too much bullets to go down. Several bullets on the upper body, on an non-armored enemy, and the guy still move and shoot you undisturbed by his wounds?
Also I find the melee parts quite a chore to play. It's not as bad as in UC3, but feel not as good as in TLOU, which is a shame and again, uselessly simplistic. It's like they absolutely wanted to follow the Uncharted way of doing the melee because reasons.
But don't be fooled by my negative remarks. This is really an incredibly well done game that everybody should play.

Yeah i agree about the melee, it feels like a step back in comparison to TLOU but it's much better than previous Uncharted games (the camera movement is really good). I really like the animation blend in during shootouts and melee, looks so natural switching from one animation to another.
