The upcoming remasters of Uncharted PS4 games are missing many key effects that were in the originals, and it seems like some fans aren’t happy.
The “uncharted 5” seems to be missing shadows and other effects from the PS4 version. The developers have yet to comment on the issue.

Naughty Dog’s remastered collection of Uncharted games for PS5, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, has received positive feedback from critics so far, including additional graphical options (e.g., “performance” for a smooth 60 FPS experience), however the remasters are far from flawless. According to NeoGAF’s Vick, the remastered versions of Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy are missing a variety of elements that were included in the original PS4 editions, including shadows, reflections, and more. Some images even reveal bugs that didn’t exist in the original games.

- […] Even though the game appears to be nearly identical/improved in most areas compared to its original release, every type of downgrade is present, including missing VFX, missing shadows, missing reflections, worse effects such as AO and some shaders at times, simplified and toned down bounce lighting from the dynamic GI (via Software RT), visual glitches, and so on.
- I spent the previous two days comparing the whole game and was able to collect around 800 images (half from the original, half from the Remaster) demonstrating these faults.
- […] here are some missing VFX samples (PS4 top, PS5 bottom […]):
Lighting variations include:
Particle effects aren’t working:
Light sources that are missing:
Hair that has been downgraded (a missing layer between the skin and the hair):
Reflections that are missing:
Glitches in the visual field (lamp):
