Uncharted 2


Recommended Posts

Because people then either think

a) Expansion pack

b) Remake

or a favourite around here when Motorstorm Pacific Rift came out

c) Half-baked, just an update to MS1 as it has no "2" in the title

Which of course is pretty wrong, seeing as it improved on the 1st game in everyway :p

It also bugs me when they put the sequel number in films, guess its just a pet hate. Imagine if they called the latest Bond flick, Bond 22: Quantum of Solace. LOL. Ahem, anyway.

Just my opinion! Just cause you've played it doesn't mean you're right :p

Have you played the full game though, or just the demo?

Quite harsh to be calling it half-baked if you haven't given the game a go. But fair enough, you can say what you want :p

Just challenging your opinion of it being half-baked as I've played the game and it's packed with content, and improves on MS1 in nearly every way, a game which was pretty half-baked for a racer (missing splitscreen, custom playlists, etc).

I actually don't think it's half baked to be honest. I should have explained that others were calling it half baked cause they didn't feel their was enough changes (something I can agree on). I liked what they did with MPR but for me it didn't warrant a buy with so many other good games out right now. I'll probably buy it cheap like Uncharted and Ratchet this time next year :laugh:

So yeah to cut an arguement short, I liked the changes, but wasn't worth it imo (Y)

Yeah man, that's fine, I just found the half-baked comments a little harsh on it.

I started off on it, never played MS1 - Although since getting PR I've tried the retail copy of MS1 from a friend.

It improved with things like 4 player splitscreen, better online, much better track variety split into fire/water/wind/earth which is quite cool, more race modes, better variety in vehicles and their designs, longer tracklist, custom music, etc,etc.

I got it for ?20, really good purchase because it's pretty polished. I'd give it a solid 8, or 8.5. It's an arcadey racer, I prefer simulation so I wouldn't score it higher than things like Forza of GT, but it's a lot of fun.

I recommend you pick it up when it's cheaper for sure.

MS1 has probably left a bitter taste in my mouth too (even although I didn't actually set out to buy it, it was part of my bundle), but it just infuriated me more than anything. I really really dislike games which have the "slow down crash" feature, I don't want to see the car blow up, I wanna race and catch up! Arghh! (That goes for Burnout especially, POS games :no:)

/rant over

Sorry :p

IIRC, OPM called it half-baked, that it seemed like Motorstorm 1.5. I'm gonna assume they played it, and are not 360 fanboys ;)

Hm. For Burnout Paradise (only Burnout I've played) the crashes were fun. Made ****ing up fun. As opposed to Midnight Club:LA, where it goes into a lame slo-mo crash, with cheesy ragdoll action if you were on a bike.

I had a friend over to play Paradise a couple weeks ago (he's a total Midnight Club on 360 fanboy), and his jaw dropped during the first accident we had.

Well there we are then, case closed :p

I've played both of those (and probably every Burnout theres been) and I still don't like it :p It can look as pretty as it wants, but it just gets in the way imo when all I want to do is drive. I don't want to crash and I especially don't want to sit for 5 seconds until the crash is over. Plus I only like/play car sims anyway (Y)

Motorstorm 2 is far from half baked! The OPM didn't say anything of the sort either from what I remember

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US) - The core racing experience makes the misstep of celebrating failure rather than making the actual winning of races definable fun. [Dec 2008, p.90]

Yup, pretty much touches on my complaints earlier about slow-mo crashes. It just doesn't make for a fun game.

Uncharted 2 VGA 2008 Trailer

Uncharted 2 VGA 2008 Screenshots

Looking very good! :D

There's a God of War 3 trailers on the same site actually for those interested.

Damn, awesome :woot:

And a confirmed 2009 release!

uncharted looks nice, the main char is even more detailed, but for god of war.... still needs a lot of work to look like a real PS3 game ;p

It doesn't look bad

720p trailer played through TV.

It's still early though plently of time left in development. People bitch about developers using CG early on, then when they do show early footage gamers tend to tear it apart like the footage should somehow represent what the final build, 12 months later should be like. And you wonder why devs use CG? :p

It looks awesome :yes: :woot:

A painting come to life? No..

It looks on par with GoW2 imo, but its not out for ages so it'll improve no doubt :)

Jaffe said this

FWIW,

I think this looks pretty good. So you know where my barometer sits.

BUT this is not- as I said last week- the stuff I was/am talking about.

I stand by my comments and am eager for Sony to get some of that stunning PAINTING QUALITY footage out asap...just to prove I ain't bull****ting folks.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
