10 Gaming Moments IMPOSSIBLE To View The Same Way After This

7. The Sword-Inflicted Cuts On Nate's Clothes Are Dynamic (Uncharted 4: A Thief's End)

The devs over at Naughty Dog are masters of detail, with each of their releases pushing Sony's PlayStation hardware to its limits. Seriously, playing The Last Of Us Part II on a PS4 makes the damn thing sound like a jet engine.

Just take a peek at Uncharted 4, which is stuffed with cool moments (like an Assassin's Creed-style synchronisation at the top of a clock tower, or the dozens of optional conversations littered throughout the world) that the vast majority of gamers won't ever see, but enrich the experience for those who do.

The final sword battle against Rafe also contains a moment like this, displaying the game's remarkable attention to detail in the graphical department.

Now, we all know that swords are really pointy, and should definitely be avoided if some douchebag rival treasure hunter is waving one in your face. But for players who can't dodge all of Rafe's strikes? Nate's clothing will actually react to the sword in a realistic fashion, tearing open the fabric and cutting his flesh. On the other hand, if you don't get hit, our rugged hero will be squeaky-clean at the end of the sequence.

It's an awesome little touch that enhances the brutality of the fight without you even realizing, but when you do become aware of it, it's impossible to unsee - and maybe you'll even be a bit more careful to not get Nate sliced up like a slab of meat!

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
