Watch the 'Uncharted Trilogy' As HD Movies

After turning the new 'Tomb Raider' game into a 3 hour game movie, Andy Gilleand is back with a new HD update to the 'Uncharted Trilogy'. His previous 'Uncharted' movies were in a lower resolution, but these new ones are in lovely 720p HD.

"If you haven't seen my movies before, my goal is to take a game, record footage of my gameplay, and edit that together into a movie. I do this by focusing on story, primarily driven by the cutscenes. However, if you only include the cutscenes, you don't have a coherent story. So I include some gameplay as well, but only the minimum gameplay necessary to understand the story. The goal is to keep this looking as much like a movie as possible, so I try to limit any obvious game moments as much as I can, especially putting focus on the more cinematic gameplay elements. 

As before, I try to cut out as many game indicators as I can, such as button prompts, but sometimes there are HUD pop ups that would be either too difficult to remove, or would significantly lower the quality of the movie by being removed. So, I removed what I could, but I couldn't remove everything."

A 'The Last Of Us' game movie is on they way, he says he's just waiting for the sales to die down a bit first, so subscribe to his YouTube channel for updates.
