@AB, please go back and read what I said. I **specifically** said all of these new details released on the MP are exactly the same as GoW2. Of course I can't comment on anything that's not been announced and I never attempted to.

So basically they copied Gears of War multiplayer this time around, not just the single player? Gotcha.
That doesn't excuse ND just ripping the whole game off though.
Every single detail they have released was done in GoW 1, they've even gone to the trouble of choosing 5v5 in MP from GoW2 too.

Broken or not, right now it's a carbon copy. Sorry, you can't brush it off guys, try, but you aint foolin' no one!

SP copied, and okay, MP copied so far, coupled with a derogatory attitude to Naughty Dog efforts to boot, you clearly couldn't wait to crap all over their game with GoW2. If the game turns out bad, go wild, but we have very little information on SP, and this is our first glimpse of MP.

And the game modes may be similar, but as others have said I didn't know you could climb/scale buildings in Gears of War 2. Similar game modes does not = carbon copy.

You even felt the need to say this... :laugh:

Omg they even ripped the shields off lol.

Just keeps getting "better" :laugh:

Ripping off shields?! What?!

I'll remind Naughty Dog to use dustbin lids as a method of protection in the future... Cmon man, ripping off shields?

Not even gonna waste my time when you pick and choose which parts of my replies to quote. You can go back and read them fully and see I mentioned the gameplay mechanics they have taken from GoW2. I'm not about to start creating charts just for you to pick up a point for once.

I was a long time fan of ND fyi, but titles like this just show no innovation at all and I won't give them credit. It's as bad as Dead Space in my eyes, borrowing and blending game mechanics from everyone else and thrown together. I'll still buy the game at some point and experience it for myself, no doubt cheap like I did U1. It doesn't deserve a full price tag for me.

Because every game has to be the most innovative thing ever to be fun to play or compliment if well polished/made, right? Or does it only have to be the most innovative game ever when it aids your argument?

No wonder some of you can't just sit down and enjoy or at least play to determine whether you do enjoy a game around here without some pre-determined mindset. Your heads are far too rammed up comparison charts/public image and the sales age to just "game" at times. It's like a reality TV show almost, holding up personas.

As for choosing parts of quotes, what you said is what you said.

It doesn't deserve a full price tag for me.

Exactly the reason MP is being implemented, to offer better value. People will play the SP/MP based on how good it is, not based on whether or not an Xbox 360 game shares similar game modes/mechanics.

Here's the official press release, hadn't noticed an upgrade system will be in MP. I doubt it will be all that deep though...

Press Release: Official Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Details

PLAYSTATION®3 Computer Entertainment System Exclusive UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Expands Gameplay by Introducing Online Multiplayer Features to Franchise

Featuring Five-Versus-Five Player Matches Competitively, and Up To Three Player Cooperative Modes; Franchise Adds Hours of Replayability

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 27 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment America today announced that UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, exclusively for the PLAYSTATION?3 (PS3™) system, will introduce online competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes to the franchise. Developed by premier PS3 software developer Naughty Dog Inc., UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, the highly-anticipated follow up to UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune™, will feature up to 10 players in 5-versus-5 competitive gameplay. Cooperative multiplayer modes allow up-to-3 players to progress through a variety of environments by working together to accomplish set objectives.Utilizing a robust party system, groups of players will remain together in ranked and custom matches while earning currency, which used in combination with currency earned in single player missions, will unlock additional content and upgrades.>

Presented with multiple modes of competitive gameplay, players battle in ranked matches that include Death Match and Plunder, a unique style of multiplayer competition that encourages team work to transport a treasure over dynamic terrain such as ledges and obstacles. Plunder brings truly vertical game play to traditional multiplayer modes. With maps based on environments from the single player campaign, players are taken from the nighttime streets of a war torn city to a Nepalese village and have the ability to create custom games allowing them to play any type of game on any map.

“Adding a multiplayer aspect to the UNCHARTED franchise is a significant step in the replayability of the game,” said Christophe Balestra, co president Naughty Dog. “UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves will be the most impressive and ambitious game that Naughty Dog has done and we are thrilled to let our fans experience it this fall.”

SCEA is planning a consumer BETA program for UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves beginning June 3 through June 28. Consumers who purchase one of the first copies of inFAMOUS, the open world superhero action adventure from Sucker Punch Productions launching May 26, have the opportunity to be among the first to test the multiplayer modes of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves via an access key packed in the box.

UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves is the story of Nathan Drake, a fortune-hunter with a shady reputation and an even shadier past who is lured back into the treacherous world of thieves and mercenary treasure-seekers. The tenth game by premier PS3 software developer Naughty Dog, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves allows players to take control of Drake and embark on a journey that will push him to his physical, emotional and intellectual limits to discover the real truth behind the lost fleet of Marco Polo and the legendary Himalayan valley of Shambhala.

Not discussing the matter anymore, settled offsite with AB. Just a clash of opinions I guess at the end of the day.

Honestly though, I hope the game has more to offer in future announcements as MP would make me buy it. I grew bored of U1 too quickly.

Oh the irony

Not really seeing as my list of games I'll flame or constantly bash is pretty much at zero. Plus I'm not one quick to judge off little detail, everything deserves a chance to grab my attention and why not? I do what I do to play games, so I want to try "everything".

If I don't like something you'll maybe hear something once or twice to let everyone know how I feel, not every week in every thread about the game.

Plus I enjoy most genres, so well, that's a plus for me!

I'm hitting the pub guys, good debating the whole Gears2/Uncharted2 debate with you, we'll see if my points hold strong with the MP beta hits. If not, yous predicted the future :p

@AB: what's the point? I know it's frustrating but no amount of explaining/arguing will change his/their minds...they've got an idea in their heads and they're going to take it to the grave lol. If they don't appreciate what will no doubt be a great game, then their loss :)

Anyway, fingers crossed they'll just have a beta key giveaway here via Eurogamer or something

Well so do I...but sometimes it's nicer to let people enjoy some news rather than bulldozing (persistently) with negativity :) Anyway...have fun ;)

If you can't enjoy a piece of news because someone isn't just sucking it up like a ShamWoW, it's your own fault.

Great, I'm not allowed to prejudge a game being bad (not that I'm trying to do that, just giving my opinion after reading the IGN news), but it's perfectly acceptable to say "what will no doubt be a great game". Skewed double standards as usual from the same crowd.

I actually called the first one "Gears of Fortune" just for laughs, so I understand the comparison.

Anyway, I like GoW, so that's not a problem for me. Now DarkSector... that was a complete GoW rip off :laugh: .

You kids and your way.

If your going to point things out that are similar, then you've missed tens of years of arguing over games that are essentially the same. :p

Of course I would assume most of us on here are getting bored of it, either way, I still can't wait to shoot Kol in the face or take him down from behind.

Sounded a bit dirty. :rofl:

i'm really not sure why people feel the need to highlight minor similarities between various games... over and over and over again. it really is boring to read, and totally unproductive (what exactly are you hoping to achieve by doing this?).

personally, i judge every game on its own merits, and how much enjoyment i get out of playing it. regardless of the origins or the cover system, shooting mechanics or "the shield i'm holding".

i also thought that the first Uncharted was a very well made and enjoyable game. i loved it!

I really liked the first game and the second looks like it's improving on the original so unless something goes seriously wrong I'll definitely be buying this!

I probably won't play the MP too much so i don't really care about it that much but it's good to see that they're adding new modes to give more life to the game.

I bought my PS3 for the first game, the platform elements combined with a decent story and interesting combat has made it one of my favorite games of this generation. The sequel looks like a big serving of MORE of what I liked.

PSBlog: Uncharted 2: More Multiplayer Details Interview

After yesterday?s big Uncharted 2 announcement, I?m sure you?ve got lots of questions. Once the co-op and competitive modes were revealed to the media last week, I know I did. Fortunately, I was able to grab quite a few minutes with Justin Richmond, game designer with Naughty Dog. We chatted about Uncharted 2?s modes, how melee translates into multiplayer, and the presence of Elena and Sully.
