Do it :rofl: It would be interesting to see if the midnight launch is even busy at all as well.

I'd like to get some impressions from the folks around here, most of you are usually quite level headed about opinions and us UKers don't get the game till the 16th :(

Naughty Dog pokes fun at next-gen graphics and games

This generation of games as one unique quality to it: a brownish tint. Naughty Dog games have a lot of lush color to them, so to make Uncharted 2: Among Thieves a ?true? next-generation title, you need to offer gamers the option to make the game look a little drab. Much like Uncharted: Drake?s Fortune, Uncharted 2 features a ?Next-Gen Filter?, which you can purchase with the in-game money. Unlike Drake's Fortune filter, this time around it's much more accurate and comical.

Much more defined this time around, Naughty Dog makes the next-gen filter make Uncharted 2 look like Gears of War or Metal Gear Solid 4 in color, which is pretty much one main color theme. The filter makes the game look brownish gold and takes away nearly all the color found in the game. When you turn the filter on, you are truly playing a ?next-gen? title. You have to love the humor of Naughty Dog.

I honestly probably will not go, I really am not feeling well at all, but I will go get it @ 10 AM tomorrow morning, and I have already arranged some playing time tomorrow during the day, so I will have some impressions tomorrow for sure.

And honestly, I am even surprised they are having it, as the kid when I pre-ordered it told me although they got a decent amount of pre-orders, and that that would be the deciding factor of what stores will be doing a midnight launch, how many pre-orders they did get. My Gamestop is less than a year old, and honestly whenever I go to it, which is not all that often, but when I do go it is dead, so I am really surprised they are doing one.

The message actually said show up at 10 to line up your copy so you can leave right at 12, and join us for "in store fun" or something along those lines, so can only imagine what that is.

Anyone from the UK that pre ordered from amazon? I just pre ordered it today because they where doing it for about ?35, once i pre ordered i noticed that the estimated delievery was the 19th so i freaked out and emailed them and the guy who replied said

We know that many of our customers are anxious to have their "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)" delivered to them on the day of release, October 16, 2009.

Due to a technical error, the estimated date that is shown in "Your Account" for this item was incorrect, and our technical team is working on this issue.

I have checked your order #------------- and I am please to confirm that the item "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)" will be dispatched in time for delivery on the release date. Rest be assured that your order will be delivered on the release date.

Just wondering has anyone who ordered from Amazon has there order been dispatched?

Cool, look forward to your impressions tomorrow!

Even if it were coming out here tomorrow in the UK I have too much to do this week until the weekend.

Will be leaving in 10 minutes to pick it up, have some work I need to do, then it is full game on. Will be back in about 7 hours give or take with my initial impressions.

I didnt take the chance, and paid the ?1.99 for UKMail next day delivery.

Will do the same with Forza 3.

I changed my delivery option on shopto to the new UKmail service for ?1.99. Just incase Royal Mail decide to mess it up. Even without the strikes they still quite easily mess deliveries up.

Edit: Phee, great minds think alike:laugh::

I've never wanted to be American so much! :rofl:

Early video game releases and plenty of easy fat chicks, what more could you want? :laugh:

In all seriousness though, It never has made sense to me why certain places get it at different times. I hate to say this since I am more often than not the one who benefits from it, but if it is a matter of shipping, then make it the day that everyone has it instead. Just seems to cause confusion more than anything else.

I wish that was the price for next day delivery here. I have to pay around $6 USD and for standard shipping. That's the bad thing about living on an island:(:(

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
