Uncharted 2


Recommended Posts

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)

:yes:

Well if that's the case stop saying Uncharted is Tomb Raider minus...

:p

But yeah, we'll be playing this next year :)

I don't think anyone buys their warez

I don't know what your implying. ;)

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

The real irony is everyone is throwing accolades at anything remotely popular to get hits/readers. :p

What Tomb Raider has in puzzles it lacks by the bucket loads in story and action, which is where Uncharted excels imo. Crystal Dynamics seems to be doing a good job though, that's for sure (except maybe Legend).

I'm loving the new snow setting in that magazine cover, be really nice to see a good mix of environments in Uncharted 2.

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.

How many times do I have to say it dude?

TR = puzzles & platforming

Uncharted = action / TPS

Back in 1997/8 I couldn't give a rats ass about the story in TR 1 & 2. I still don't care about it today, I just enjoy the puzzle gameplay.

I can't wait to see your comments if Uncharted 2 turns out to be a hit. I wonder if you'll still be playing the broken record on "throwing around awards just to get hits/readers" ;)

Oh but wait, this is PS3 so its ok :rolleyes:

Jog on (Y)

If.... if... IF???

Of course it's gonna be a hit, it's Naughty Dog!

Dun dun dun dun dunnnnn...

To the rescue!

Okay, enough sugary juice for me, I'm off to bed :laugh:

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

Yeah GOW2 has already won, no contest (considering how everyone is raving on about it). However, personally I don't find GOW2 that special, boring even. Uncharted was awesome and I really like the Tomb Raider games as well :) for me Uncharted 2 (and TR:Underworld) are must buys for me, while GOW2 was meh (got GOW and it was good then got boring very fast :/ )

So I can't wait for Uncharted 2 to be released (and TR:Underworld, it sucks they are making us Aussies wait longer! - while yes I could get TRU now from say Steam, but with the fact the Aussie dollar is practically worthless :p it's much cheaper to just wait for the Aussie release)

zomg that would be awesome

Those were the days! *wet dream*

:blush:

Heh.

I played the first Spyro a couple of months ago, while the graphics are a good bit ugly now, the game was still great fun to play. :D

I never got the second though but had the third, will have to look into that me thinks, maybe ebay.

That's generally how opinions work right? You agree with some things and disagree with others. I reserve the right to be cynical on the game reviewing industry too thanks, god knows I've read enough of them.

Jog on (Y)

LOL, that's so 90's school playground talk.

Man, I would love it if Naughty Dog and Insomniac both made a good Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games again, would be awesome!

I'm still waiting for a new Crash Team Racing game!

Croc and Crash Bandicoot were the first games I played on my PS1 :heart: Going from the Megadrive to that was just wow.

I'm really annoyed / angry at the mess they've made of Crash Bandicoot. No idea how the new Spyro game has turned out but the screenshots I posted a couple of months ago looked pretty good. I'm not holding out on much since Insomniac didn't make it of course.

Yes that is how double standard opinions work, you are correct (Y) It's not cool when it's a game on the 360 to get good reviews / sales. If it's the PS3 then zomg break open the champagne!

mmmmno...

90's school playground talk ftw!

:rolleyes:

Anyway I'm done with this topic! :)

Um Naughty Dog don't do Crash anymore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naughty_Dog

Keef the Thief 	1989
Rings of Power 	1991 	Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
Way of the Warrior 	1995 	3DO
Crash Bandicoot 	1996 	PlayStation
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back 	1997 	PlayStation
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped 	1998 	PlayStation
Crash Team Racing 	1999 	PlayStation
Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy 	2001 	PlayStation 2
Jak II 	2003 	PlayStation 2
Jak 3 	2004 	PlayStation 2
Jak X: Combat Racing 	2005 	PlayStation 2
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune 	2007 	PlayStation 3
Uncharted 2 	2009 	PlayStation 3

All the failed Crash games came from others.

And Jak is a great platformer!

The 360 has tons of great games that got equally great reviews.

You were done earlier btw. :p

But wait, there's more! Game Informer's January issue will also feature Uncharted 2 -- and they're calling it: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. According to GI, the sequel will involve the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages. New mechanics in the sequel include a free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay. Check out the cover, also after the break.

I already posted that Audio. :p

And I hope the stealth parts mentioned are not forced, so something like MGS4 where we can be stealthy, but can also shoot the crap out of everything. :D

w00t.gif w00t.gif Cant wait for this game. I hope Elena and Sully are in this game too.

Better be!

OMG Croc!

What a cute but thoroughly enjoyable game.

I lost that game a long time ago, pity.

They don't make games like that any more.

Surely with the tools these days and compression, someone could make some simple games like that, but with the length in only a few months, and release them digitally.

Oh well, those times have passed.

People don't seem to be happy with mindless silly little games like that any more.

Our VGA ad will also premiere on the air tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2, at 9:25 PM during UFC Unleashed on Spike.

TV add tomorrow night might have some more footage!

Also for those that care, Spike has 8 world premieres to show - http://www.spike.com/blog/world-premieres/70766

Obviously one of the 8 is Uncharted 2, let's hope there's some other good stuff! Being a premiere doesn't mean the game can't be "announced" (Uncharted 2 was confirmed a while ago), so I pray like mad GoW3 would appear... but that's CRAZY talk!

Gawwwdd with the double posting. :p

But hopefully there will be some corkers!

But I don't expect a GoW3, I would assume Sony would save that title up for a bit.

And did we ever see what game it was that the BBC reporter was talking about that looked amazing? people thought it was Heavy Rain, but he said it wasn't

OMFG! I love Uncharted (which I've played through on every difficulty to try and unlock everything) and can't wait for the sequel. When is it out? The first was such an awesome game and is waaaaayyyyyyy better than Tomb Raider. The first Uncharted is even better than the new TR.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
