Gaming journalism is a joke! Look at this brehs

So apparently a writer at VG247 published an article for a preview for Uncharted 4 based on her hands on of the game at TGS... but the problem though... is she actually played Uncharted 2!!

We’d like to apologise to Naughty Dog for a massive mistake we published last month.


On September 30 we published an article titled “Is Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End too formulaic?” based on what we thought was a hands-on session with Uncharted 4 at the Tokyo Game Show.

We didn’t realise it at the time; what we’d played wasn’t Uncharted 4, but the remastered Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, from the recently released Uncharted Collection. We were not aware of this until after the article went live.

As soon as Sony notified us of our mistake we immediately unpublished the article as it was clearly based on one massive error on our part. TGS is busy and obviously the majority of signage isn’t in English, but none of that excuses the fact that we seriously fukked up.

It’s cute to say it’s testament to the skill and beautiful artwork of the Naughty Dog team that we mistook a remastered PS3 game for Uncharted 4. But none of that changes the fact that we have massively misrepresented a game to our readers, fans of the Uncharted series and the industry who read VG247.

The buck stops with the editor of the site, so I’m the one apologising. I should have done it sooner. I am genuinely sorry for this mistake, the misrepresentation of the game and the upset this has caused the development team

Here's an excerpt.

Uncharted 4 is the first PS4 entry in a series that has traditionally pushed boundaries. Why does it feel so familiar?

maybe because you played it already? How do you make a mistake like this ?

But graphics don’t make the game, and even if Uncharted 4 is the most beautiful thing ever to have happened in the history of video games, it’s not – it’s not new. This is a complaint that has been levelled a lot this generation, I think, that games are just shinier rather than more interesting, and Uncharted may be in for the same critique. Where the first Uncharted games felt like they were blowing the bar sky high, this one just felt like more of the same.

Ok, so has the person who played the game even played Uncharted 2? If not then why is he the one writing the preview for part 4? If he has then wtf, how could you not remember playing through the same levels.

Na.... Sounds more like a cowards than an imbecile that made a mistake

He knows he was playing U4 and everything he said was legit and real....

But apparently Sony sent them "goons" to his house to see him and his fam and buddy had to make a "business decision"

And who are we to judge him, I mean "Lil Jimmy gotta eat and wifey got another on the way"


This dude may be a coward.... but he's not a liar and he will be able to continue to support his family for the rest of this year

The author, a self proclaimed vet had to have played it.

Even if you don't understand Japanese, the words are bolded in English.

Imagine their Wii U reviews....
