Leave it to a fan to do something as awesome as this. Reddit user morphinapg created full-length films using cinematics from the three Uncharted games. Morphinapg writes that many people say playing the Uncharted games is like controlling a movie. “That gave me the idea to edit these games into movies,” he writes. He added that the intention was to “show these people who either don’t have a PS3, don’t have or want these games but still are interested in seeing the story, or even don’t video games at all,” a chance to see what all the buzz is about.
“With these projects I was trying to make movies that would be viewable whether or not you had played the game, or even care about playing video games, so I wanted to make them as close to a real movie as possible. This meant taking out as many chapter titles, button prompts, and more to make it seem less like a video game. There were certain aspects I wasn’t able to remove, such as the current weapon selected, or an occasional button prompt.”
