Buying the collection gave players early access to Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's 2015 December multiplayer beta, however this is the only multiplayer component of the package and neither Uncharted 2 nor Uncharted 3's multiplayer components are available.Three new modes have been added for the collection, being Explorer Mode, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the combat; Brutal Difficulty Mode, which acts as an extra hard difficulty setting even above Crushing; and Speed Run Mode, which introduces a timer and tasks players to compete against their friends via leaderboards in completing certain sections as fast as possible.A photo mode that allows players to pause the game and spectate the area for pictures is available as well.Improvements & Alterations Unlike its original PS3 release, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception includes all of the same sort of unlockable cheats and tweaks that the first two games have. This includes character skins, graphical filters, infinite ammo settings, slow-motion mode, and ect. However the character skins are taken from the multiplayer and are thusly of a much lower quality than their single-player counterparts. Furthermore, unlockable weapons are restricted to the character-specific cosmetic variants of those that could be selected as multiplayer loadouts. This thusly makes weapons like the SPAS shotgun and Mag 5 pistol unavailable.Nathan Drake in Drake's Fortune was given extra stubble to make him better resemble his future appearances in the latter two Uncharteds.Collectable treasures are now tracked per chapter in Drake's Fortune like the later games.Weapon icons for Drake's Fortune & Among Thieves have been updated to resemble those from Drake's Deception.DevelopmentBefore its official announcement, it was briefly shown on the PlayStation 4 digital store before being removed soon after. The collection was then officially announced only hours later.MediaThe Uncharted Title's cutscenes were compiled in early-release and became popular on Youtube as a game movie.
