Uncharted 2

Trailer

Only short, but it looks good! :D

[Corris Veteran]

OMFG, YES!

He's wearing a new shirt, lols.

But December the 14th, not long, YEY!

I'm so buying this game first day.

[Sethos]

Looks great, hopefully not as repetitive as the first one.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

The first is definitely a poor mans Tomb Raider, albeit a pretty one (and yes I can have an opinion as I've now got a copy ;)).

Hope the second one is better!

[FlibbyFlobby]

Yeah, I cant wait either. The first one was pretty awesome! I still need to get all the trophies in it actually. I compared my trophies to yours the other day actually, Corris. I think something inside me died just a little. :p

I'd disagree btw, its the proper mans Tomb Raider. Blowing stuff up > Solving puzzles.

Actually the further you play through the new Tomb Raider you realize how it pales with it's absolutely shocking shooting system.

However Uncharted could do with borrowing some of the more elaborate platforming and puzzles from Tomb Raider, and cutting back on the shooting just a bit.

Definitely getting this, but I still need to complete Uncharted - The trailer above probably spoiled me somehow!

ps. Munky

Doesn't matter, the review scores show Uncharted is the better game, nothing changes that ;)

Wow, looks nice, sure it's a must have in my collection!

No actually, TR was the first proper 3D puzzle/platformer which made way for games like Uncharted. It's never been about blowing stuff up or gun fights. When the only thing Uncharted did right was the shooting elements (as well as gfx) then it may as well be an FPS/TPS. The puzzles are weak as ****.

Hmm, I dunno.

The Really good Tomb Raiders died off a long time ago, we just seem to have the okish ones now, but still enjoyable.

Still have yet to get my hands on the newest one yet though. :(

But as mentioned, we wouldn't have Uncharted if it wasn't for Tomb Raider.

What Uncharted needs are better more tomb raider like puzzles, but I dunno what could help Tomb Raider at the moment, stop making them for a few years then bring her back back next gen? Some sort of Nathen/Lara love scene? who knows. :p

[AbandonedTrolley]

The first one was good, graphically pretty solid for an early released game compared to the lame ports that were coming out at the time.

I'm pretty certain I read elsewhere on these forums that graphically nothing much has changed though. There was some clipping in the first so hopefully they have ironed out the engine a bit.

Can't wait to see more though.

Thanks for filling any gaps on the Tomb Raider history I may not have had. Despite growing up on it! :rolleyes:

I might add you brought up the Tomb Raider comparison, and judging by your last post you're now backing out of it. Make your mind up, eh.

That was from the source that apparently leaked information from the internal Sony event.

If Naughty Dog pulled off the visuals they did in 2007, I think it's safe to say in 2009 with more time on the PS3 they'll improve them.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Have you played Tomb Raider Underworld, Corris?

You should, it actually has puzzles in it :yes:

Lara > Drake....unless you're all ding-a-ling :p

Where did I do that?

TRU > Uncharted :yes:

If I want a 3D platform/puzzler there's no question I'd buy TRU. If I want a TPS with fancy graphics then Uncharted.

Not yet, might wait till it is in the cheapish pile, has no trophies. :p

But it can have puzzles all it wants, Angel of Darkness had some puzzles, but lets pretend that game never happened, lol.

And while I have grown up playing (with :p) Lara, I find Nathan a more lovable badass character.

But it doesn't matter much, they are some what two sides of a coin, one seems to be missing something the other has done well.

But we shall see.

The TPS with fancy graphics title is reserved for Gears of War. :p

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yeah yeah, lets compare sales and GOTY awards at the end of the month/January ;)

[Corris Veteran]

Yeah yeah, lets compare sales and GOTY awards at the end of the month/January ;)

Do we have to? I would rather be playing the games than needlessly chatting which always lead to peoples opinions not agreeing with each others and, well, I'm sure you know the rest, lol.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Ok we can settle it now. We all know GOW2 will win between it and any Uncharted game. It goes without saying obviously. :p

No crystal ball required for that prediction!

If I'm wrong, I will sell my 360. You have my word :p

[AbandonedTrolley]

Why can't we all just get along and enjoy some decent games? :p

Obviously not on the Wii tho...... j/k

[FlibbyFlobby]

How good a game is is ultimately more important to me than how many magazines rush to throw awards at something thats over-hyped in order to get people to buy their warez.

I have no doubt Gears of War 2 is good, but its nothing new and nothing special imo. If anything its UT3 in 3rd person, and since UT is my favourite game of all time it pains me to say it, but its true. :p

[Corris Veteran]

Fancy yourself an Uncharted fan? Well you?re not going to want to miss our next cover (sequel!). We?ve got Uncharted 2: Among Thieves featuring 10 pages of world-exclusive details. Nathan Drake returns with a whole new adventure which revolves around the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages. The new PlayStation 3 title will add a free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay. Players can also expect all-new locations, characters and a focus on the game?s story

Game Informer

Zomg Sub Title!

Exactly.

That and Sales don't always mean a game is good, though I know Gears 2 is, but just saying.

One of my fav and a game that has won a lot of rewards is Shadow of the Colossus and also Ico, but neither did amazingly well sales wise.

Sales don't make a game, but they sure do prove certain Platforms users love certain games, lol.

Yeah cause the whole journalism industry is doing that (Y)

So Uncharted is nothing new or special. It's Tomb Raider with a male character, vastly less puzzles (dumb ones at that) and in a jungle setting. Ironyyyyy

I don't think anyone buys their warez

:rofl:

Except Tomb Raider has never had good shooting mechanics.

So to be Tomb Raider, Uncharted would need to have god awful shooting :p

Only then would it not be a TPS shooter game, it would only be an Adventure like Tomb Raider.

*cough*Halo3*cough*

;)

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Like I said on the last page, TR has never been about shooting or blowing **** up. It's included it yeah when the series nose dived at the end of the 90's/early 2000's. Ever since Crystal Dynamics took over though it has definitely been on the right track (Y)

Anyways I'm done bickering over this debate :p We'll talk about it again when U2 is out no doubt :laugh:

@Soniq, Halo 3 pwns. Accept it :yes: You don't have to like it, but it was successful cause it was a fantastic game (Y)
