Looks like we're back with our old friend the PS Vita and I’m sure this will be a huge nostalgia trip for the 3 of you that purchased one. Sporting a solid selection of games, like...uh... anyways, maybe the vita doesn’t have a ton of games, and maybe Gravity Rush is still confined to a wheelchair from carrying this system on its back, but if we look at the Vita's big sister, the PS3 and its major mascot Nathan Drake, it’s no surprise that it got a vita game. Now, something that makes Uncharted Golden Abyss different from some other games in its field is that it was built for the vita, and stayed there. Amazing Spider-Man is impressive for condensing an open world to fit on a handheld, but the framerate makes it clear that it wasn’t made for it. Liberation which we already covered on the channel was fortunate enough to get ported to other consoles. Uncharted Golden Abyss on the other hand is lost in its very name, as in order to record this very video, I had to purchase a vita, mod the shit out of it, and get the game, all to bring it to you at a low resolution and with no audio. Point is, this game is relatively forgotten simply for the few people that grabbed it and for how inaccessible it is nowadays. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a following, as, well here I am making a video on it, but its following is likely to dwindle over time because of the expensive prerequisites to playing it. And this is a damn shame as the game is surprisingly solid and in a lot of ways feels like a proper entry to the Uncharted series, innovating on some parts of the gameplay, but being bogged down by certain shoe horns.
It’s these aforementioned prerequisites that encouraged me to say that this is a game you can’t play. I know I know, you CAN, but most of you aren’t going to drop the 200 canadian coins to pick up a vita. Oh, and I can see the comments now, “but Aqua you can just emulate the vita” and no no my poor optimist you can’t, because like any first party title, this game forces system exclusive gimmicks down your throat like feeding vegetables to a toddler, and one of them is a puzzle where you have to hold your vita up to a light source, and you can’t emulate that. So, here I am, to tell you all about this game so you can play it vicariously through me. I’m sure this will surprise you, but this game doesn’t actually play that bad, and it feels like an Uncharted game, which I think is important. The game's biggest downfall is the system it's on. The shooting here feels like uncharted for better or worse but the main issue is these little thumbsticks. They are so small that precise aiming is tough, and this is coming from a proud owner of baby hands, so if they're too small for me, then they are definitely too small for some of you bigger fellas out there. The point is, it just made playing the game tough, and the aforementioned light source puzzle, which barely worked by the way I had to put my phone's flashlight up to the vitas camera, means playing this on the ps tv is also off the table.
uncharted golden abyss is the only uncharted ps vita game, and due to how hard it is to find a ps vita, I'd say it is the Uncharted game you can't play. This is a shorter uncharted golden abyss retrospective, and the 4th entry in my uncharted restrspective. This uncharted golden abyss analysis and uncharted golden abyss critique will go into every aspect of the game. This uncharted golden abyss review will be followed up by Uncharted 4 and uncharted ps5 remaster. This uncharted golden abyss story explained is shorter because there is less to do. This is part of the the That Boy Aqua uncharted critique and uncharted analysis. This video will contain an uncharted golden abyss ending explained, uncharted golden abyss gameplay, and some uncharted Golden Abyss secrets.

I remember getting Vita for this game and enjoyed it for what it was worth. I wish we had gotten a ps4 port of this game as I would have loved to see bluepoints magic and enhancements like they did for the collection. Fun fact: Nathan's outfit in this game makes an appearance in uncharted 3s mp but that's it.

This was the first Uncharted game I played, I never understood why nobody talked about it, it felt like I was the only one who had ever played it. It was only later that I realized that it was not part of the main series of games, and funny enough what that did was that I don't see Golden Abyss as a downgrade, since thats the prototypical Uncharted experience I had for years, its more like I see the other four titles as upgrades.

[@Ghosty_Face4]

Your not alone as this was my first uncharted game too, I even remember reading the manual over and over again since the ps vita I ordered didn't come with a SD card so I was either doing that or playing welcome park.

[@xanderscut]

So glad you decided to cover Golden Abyss, I don't think I'll ever play it unless it's somehow ported and like you said, that goes for pretty much all of us. Also I truly think your videos are getting funnier with every one, genuinely got some good chuckles out of me lol. It's so cool seeing you take the feedback to heart and always improving, phenomenal work as always!

[@morethanfriendsproductions8045]

I'm glad that I haven't run into the scenario of being called a "man child" for playing video games at work. I have literally brought a PS5 and a TV to my job so I could play during downtime and I haven't had that happen. I'm sure that still happens for some people, but I think that the notion that video games are only for children is certainly dying.

I really liked this one, specially for the characters. I had no problems with the gyro controls, in fact, I find it bothersome that the other, bigger, titles don't have them. And ah, yes, that back light puzzle, I thought it was pretty clever, I did find myself doing this on a train. I used to commute daily so I had found ways to have seat for myself every day and play whatever I was playing in peace. Nothing worse than being on a boss fight and having someone wanting to skim by you in or out of the seat. That and also I don't give an F for what others think. So I enjoyed it. I still have my vita and my games, I will eventually revisiting it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the ps3 slim was at the time only slightly more expensive than the ps vita so at that point you could've just bought a ps3 and played the entire Uncharted trilogy and many, many more great games instead of just one game. But what do I know, maybe you really wanted the portability of the vita.

I remember this being my first ever Uncharted game, got this with a PSVita once for my Christmas; actually have fond memories of playing it because that was one of my last Christmas nights where we had a decent amount of family.

Great vid! This is easily the least-covered game in the series and it's most appreciated that you went out of your way to cover it on the hardware it released on, so many thanks for that one Aqua! I've been subbed to your channel for awhile now and when I'm on KZbin I often have the same thought that I should have commented here months ago but better late than never hopefully! I just can't think of another KZbin channel that's been more impressive with the degree at which you have improved here. You're personality brings your vids levels above most essay-style content out there and really makes these an absolute joy to watch no matter what game you're covering. Some channels are never so lucky to find their voice the way you have and that's no doubt in large part to the discipline and commitment it must have taken for you to put in the work to do so. I really appreciate the effort and it's always exciting to see you upload!

When they first announced the Legacy of Thieves ‘collection’ , I genuinely thought we were getting the entire package of Uncharted games on the one disc which included the Golden Abyss, so you can imagine my disappointment when it was only Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy. Nintendo found a way to make Skyward Sword work on the Switch despite all the Wii’s gimmick so I am sure Sony can do the same with this!

[@evankam2251]

As they say, "it was ahead of its time". Like it really was. But I think the need to purchase the system separately to perform cool features like in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time's 'thief vision' was what killed it. It made it seem like some weird accessory instead of a console. Especially when you had to purchase the game two times to use on both your handheld and stationary console instead of having it in one like with PS4->PS5 upgrades. Switch avoided the double-purchase option and accessory advertising, by literally advertising the product as a mobile console. Not just some unique, gimmick-based handheld. **Regardless, I'm still bewildered by the fact I can do remote play with my vita on modern games like Spider-Man, Injustice 2, Assassins Creed, and many others with the vita despite its digital store's demise and overall lack of attention.

[@morethanfriendsproductions8045]

I'm really surprised you didn't go into more detail about the collectibles. Sure, the tie ins with the card game are lame, but Golden Abyss had a really cool structure where the collectibles were much more involved and puzzle-driven. You would often find parts to a whole set over the course of multiple levels that would piece together and give more detail to the world. The collectibles felt more like little side quests - even if they were never super in-depth, it was nice seeing them be more involved than just pressing triangle on a shiny spot on the ground. While definitely not the best Uncharted game, I think Golden Abyss was pretty cool for what it was. I hope someday we see it released in some form as a downloadable title. (Hopefully without the Vita-specific gimmicks.)

[@Meekail]

I agree. I also liked that Nate would actually comment on some of the treasure you collect with voiced dialogue and all. It stands out compared to the rest of the games and I was disappointed U4 didn't go in that direction.

[@andrewk9705]

I’ve always wanted a port of this game for console, especially with the touch pad that’s on the ps4 and ps5 controllers. considering I just learned tearaway got a port and that was also one of my favourite games on the vita, I think we should get a port of this definitely, with a change to the light source puzzle of course

[@realradec]

Played this game for the first time last year and I really enjoyed it. I really liked the touch of Nathan commenting on every treasure he found. That's one thing I wish that was in the console games.

[@NamsCompendium]

I still find this game to be very impressive a handheld title. It manages to recreate a console uncharted experience with little compromises. However, the biggest issue is that it forces you to use certain vita features in really gimmicky ways for no other reason than because it’s a launch title.

[@Drawanator]

was watching your uncharted 4 obsession video while playing this game on my red vita and had to pause my game and watch man please keep up the uncharted stuff if you feel like there’s more you can tackle. the way you talk about these games and articulate yourself reminds me of myself and makes me feel less weird about my obsessions for these games and last of us

[@clumsyfilmsproducer]

This is obviously a very niche answer, but in reference to the "who was the vita made for question" it was invaluable to me when I left my home overseas to go to boarding school where we didn't have any consoles and limited internet access, then following that I spent 9 months in the Zimbabwean bush and it was invaluable in getting that little gaming kick when it was needed, I remember staying up late whilst hearing the sounds of the bush around me playing the borderlands 2 port and golden abyss on my vita. So maybe it was made for my very specific demographic haha

[@CycloneFox]

I played a lot on my Vita from 2011 to 2018 because I had to commute to work by train on a daily basis for 1,5-2 hours each day. And when I wasn't sleeping I played on Vita. And during that time I got a ton of platinum trophies for all kinds of games. I tried out dozens of indi-games and found some of my new favorite franchises like Danganronpa, Gravity Rush or Persona, which I wouldn't have tried out if I didn't have a Vita. And I really hate the argument people bring up all the time, that you can't play triple A games on the go, because mobile games have to be designed around "quick 5-15 minute sessions" or something like that. It doesn't make any sense. Imo, the souls-borne games are "designed around quick sessions" because they save the game with every step. But that doesn't count for artificial reasons. But the Vita and Switch have a great little feature. It works even the best on Vita because of how instantaneous it is implemented there (much better than on the Switch). It is the sleep mode. You can press the power button short and the screen goes off. And when you press it again, you stand exactly where you were before. Or you can also use the home button to instantly freeze the game in place. It works much better than on any other console I've ever used. There were situations where I looked out the window and noticed that the train had already stopped at my destination and I had to put my vita into my pocket fast and run out the train. And thanks to how fast it is, I never had problems with that. Golden Abyss was awesome for me. I was already an Uncharted fan and it was the perfect game for me. (but yes, the light-puzzle was BS)

[@LethalProtector8000]

I picked up a Vita just before the price for it and the games went up. I played this game to completion multiple times. I enjoyed it a lot. For what it is, it's great! Btw when I first got the Vita in my hands, I had the same issue with the sticks, but after a while I got used to it. So my advice is to give it time, more than a few hours. This is coming from someone with big hands who also plays on a PS4 with a normal controller, and a keyboard and mouse on PC. It gets better with time. Since I play all 3, now I have muscle memory developed for each control type, so when I've been playing on PC or PS4 and I pick up the Vita, I don't notice the sticks being small anymore.

For a port, I think all you would have to do would be replace that puzzle that requires you to hold your camera up to the light with a cut scene. Obviously, that’s not the only thing, you know updated graphics etc. but I think most of even the touchscreen stuff could be done using the touchpad on the dual shock four and dual sense.

Did you know that if the game encounters an error in camera apis itll just skip the light section entirely ?

No idea why when the vita officially supports up to 444mhz

A real shame that this didn't get added to any Uncharted collection. The touchscreen stuff can be dealt with on the PS4/PS5's controller touchpad. And the camera light gimmick could be removed entirely and no one who didn't play the original would be the wiser.

I've played this start to finsish twice using my modded PSTV on my big screen TV. It is superb!

[@theriffwriter2194]

None of the games have a "supernatural force". They often make you believe they do at first only to have a twist that explains said force practically later. It's probably a play on the supernatural parts in the Indiana Jones franchise. If I didn't know better I'd say he missed the final two hours of Uncharted 2 and 3. And most Uncharted encounters can be finished entirely in stealth. But good luck making it through the ones in 4.

[@timothylewis2527]

Still have my Day One 3G Vita (and a PSTV). Good memories.

Today I learned some people consider a 20 min car ride to be long.

[@luketaylor10]

this game was going to a part of the Nathen drake collection but it got scraped because Bluepoint could not figure out how to make thing like the holding the paper to the light work on consoles and they probably did not have the time nor money to redo cutscenes outright which is disappointing but understandable.

[@lapa8474]

I played this game on my PS Vita, it was my fav game on that thing. It felt like Uncharted 2 with Uncharted 1 DNA. I wish they remaster it some day for console

[@FF-tp7qs]

This was my first Uncharted game, its what made me buy the trilogy on PS3 I bought the Vita for Persona 4 Golden

[@iamgalatia]

Im replaying golden abyss currently after watching the movie for the second time. I always like the story and enjoyed how grounded it is. I like the Vita gimmicks especially the charcoal rubbings. Im currently on chapter 18

[@IDyce88]

this is honestly the biggest crime Naughty Dog ever committed...and i stand by that. they could easily redesign Golden Abyss on the PS4 and PS5 or whatever...but they can't be bothered. they wouldn't even have to change the story at all because i have seen GA from beginning to end and it's perfect in terms of chronology with the others...it's set before Drake's Fortune and is actually a prequel to all the other Nathan Drake games for those that don't know. all they need to do is alter the gameplay so it doesn't include motion and Vita mechanics.

[@aaron_duarte]

Will we be getting the uncharted 4 video ever? If so by the end of the summer?

[@elj0588]

I still use my vita, not consistently, but I love it. This game in particular is soooo good

[@omas1178]

Thanks for the boss fight warning i would NOT let go of my friends vita when i was borrowing it for this game

[@indiscreetbeat]

Will you be doing a Lost Legacy video at some point? I also want to say I got made respect for you covering Uncharted and inFAMOUS, they were the first two games I ever played and I feel like they’re heavily underrepresented in the mainstream

[@JaiPritchett]

No games on VITA? Where the hell did you get that info from?

[@salcarreiro6756]

Playing this at launch, I had all the same crits. The Vita analog sticks and all the QTE, tilt, and light things killed it for me.

[@Evanz111]

Can’t wait to see the Black Flag video, especially as it seems you’ll be taking a unique approach to it!

[@ThatBoyAqua]

I hope it doesn’t disappoint!

[@breadstickconnoisseur368]

my vita is so broken i could only play less than half of uncharted. im surprised i finished gravity rush if im honest

[@h0bbler962]

This is nostalgic for me because this was my first uncharted game i had completed it a few times that light puzzle is so buggy its painfull

[@hadinasrallah8928]

i remember loving this game

[@JamesDarkos]

as some one who played this pretty close to release and who spoke to other people about it (granted it was on forums and game lobbies) the reseption for this game was surp[risingly good with a fair amount of hype for a hoped ps4 port overall i think you did a good job explainig the appeal and falt of the game but i will say the automatic climbing was much less of a con considering that most of the people i spoke about it back then either didn't notice or didn't bring it up i personally didn't notice it till my second play through there was a lot of whining that chase and dante should have been Chloe and Harry from Uncharted 2 mostly cause there was this rumor going around that the game was going to be about how Nate and Chloe meet for the first time also a lot of the gimmicks such as the swiping and the light usage were excused as launch title syndrome and not particularly intrusive (which personnaly looking back at the game they for the most part weren't) and were justified with the next Uncharted vita will "ignore and/or fix them" there was a loud group of "hardcore" playuers (couldn't tell you if it was a mojority or a minority since i mostly keep to my corner of the fandom) that hated the game since it "dumbed" down the gunplay with making the shooting easier and making granades irrelevant personally i loved the game at the time and have fond memories but honestly at the end of the day aside from chase while i'd be sad i don't think i'd mind to much if Goldenm Abyss was stuck on the vita for the rest of time

[@Dalton_Boardman2000]

As a newer Uncharted fan I feel a bit empty missing out on this experience. I hope that one day they'll port it to current gen.

[@cheezy8492]

The first time i ever played anything from this series was this games demo on the vita

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

Will the new playstation service have vita and psp games that I can play on my PS5?

[@suntannedduck2388]

1,2,3 (depends on region for PS3) and PSP. Sony doesn't want to bother with Vita and if they did it's PS4 ports of games instead which for third parties sure but first party that would be Gravity Rush Remastered and Tearaway Unfolded only as far as I know).

[@Hanukkah360]

I bought a vita just to play this game because it was the only uncharted game I didn't play. You can mod the vita to use a PS4 controller or any other controller. You can also use vita to transfer the video to the laptop screen and then to a TV too(bigger screen). I did both and after that, it felt like a regular console Uncharted game.

[@hodgeyfitness6058]

I want to play this so bad I hope this gets a remake for ps5

[@Intensegamer405]

God the uncharted Abis I used to love that game when I was younger
