Uncharted 2

[Corris 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)

: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.

So who wants to take bets on how long until we have an "[Official] Uncharted 2" topic. :p

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:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yeah, after this they went the same way as Core Design = (N)

Gtfo Jak :hmmm:

Nighty night!

Rofl.

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

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

zomg that would be awesome

Those were the days! *wet dream*

:blush:

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)

[Corris Veteran]

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!

[AgEnTsMiTh]

Loved the original and I CAN'T WAIT for this one!!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

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! :)

[KoL Veteran]

:woot: :woot: Cant wait for this game. I hope Elena and Sully are in this game too.

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!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I never said they did? :p I just said the new Crash games suck. I'm fully aware who develops the new games ;)

Now I'm really done with this topic.

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

You were done earlier btw. :p

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

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.

not finished original Uncharted yet :p will have to get going.

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

[crazzyyfool]

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.
