Watch Uncharted 4's full 14-minute E3 gameplay demo

Warning: Mild spoiler about its cast.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End developer Naughty Dog has revealed its previously behind-closed-doors E3 demo, showing us over 14 minutes of gameplay.

The first half of the demo we saw at Sony's E3 press conference, but this one goes on much longer. The gist of it is that Nathan Drake and his grey fox mentor Sully are chasing after Nathan's brother, Sam, who is being pursued by throngs of henchmen hunting the same treasure. What starts as a fist fight quickly turns to a shootout then a car chase.

Sam Drake is voiced by Troy Baker, star of The Last of Us and BioShock: Infinite.Watch on YouTube

The E3 press conference demo ended with Drake slamming into a scaffolding while dangling from a grappling hook attached to an enemy truck on a bridge. Now, we get to see our hero dragged around a bit while simultaneously shooting his oppressors. He eventually meets up with Sam, whose personality delightfully reflects that of his sibling.

By the time the demo ends we get to see the reintroduction of a returning character.

Spoiler below:

Elena, a photojournalist who just so happens to also be Nathan Drake's wife, is back!

Look forward to more of her witty banter in 2016 when Uncharted 4: A Thief's End launches on PS4.
