PC Features
Since the game is being remastered for PC, we can also expect some PC-exclusive features to be added to the game. Sony has confirmed these features, and they will be similar to the older ports, such as Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone. The game will come with both 4K resolution and Ultra-Wide monitor support. Moreover, multiple options have been added to the graphics department. You’ll be able to make minute changes and tweaks to the game to run it at a smooth FPS. Texture, Model Quality, Shadows, Reflection, Anisotropic Filtering, and Ambient Occlusion are just a few of the graphical adjustments you can make in the game.
Moreover, the game will support a wide range of gamepads, including a DualSense controller. The gamepad, keyboard and mouse controls will also be fully customisable and can be changed according to your requirements. Furthermore, playing with the DualSense controller or similar gamepads will also provide haptic feedback and dynamic trigger effects for more immersion in the game. Sony has also added controller icon lock and ignore input options into the mix.
If you’ve got a complete gaming setup, replete with RGB controls, you’re in for a treat. The PC port of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will also feature RGB support for Corsair, Chroma Link, Logitech, and Corsair computer peripherals. This means that the RGB lighting will change based on the gameplay and the cinematics.
Further advanced features include the likes of temporal upscaling solutions, which can provide better framerates without compromising on quality. For AMD users, the AMD FX Super Resolution 2 will also be supported. This particular feature will work similar to Nvidia’s DLSS options, upscaling the resolution and increasing the framerates. Needless to say, these are advanced options and will only work with the latest graphics cards from both Nvidia and AMD. Lastly, Photo Mode returns in the game, allowing you to take beautiful screenshots of the gameplay, cinematics, or whichever scene takes your fancy!
