Edge and OPM have previews of it this month. I for one think Uncharted is the best PS3 game so far and this sequel looks like it will be even better.

This game looks totally awesome, I can't wait :P

The first Uncharted was astounding, though it went on too long and the story went from plausable and fun to plain moronic ( I mean german nazi demons from cursed treasure? Gimmie a break)

Loved the voice actor too, so yeah....looking forward too this :D

Looking good just hope the combat isn't as awful as it was in the first game.

Yes it was, it wasn't fun, lasted too long and came up too frequently. Didn't help that Nathan couldn't take a bullet for shit, the enemy had perfect aim and they seemed to have infinite grenades.

Enemy didn't have perfect aim :/

And the game what I expected from reviews ^__^ a beautiful looking honest pop n' shoot game. Toward the end of the game things were a little repetitive (and utterly stupid XD german nazi zombie vampires?....wtf?)

But I really enjoyed it, I felt there was an even spread of platforming and shooting

I enjoyed the rest of the game, just not the combat. Though hating the PS3's analogs sticks doesnt help when aiming I guess.

Only type of these platformer game's I've ever played with reasonable combat was Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb.

We're different in that respect though. You enjoy platforming, I've always hated tomb raider, felt it was flawed and generally awful :/ uber dull too.

Uncharted gave me fun platforming but kept it action oriented, (now to sound like an uneducated berk) I enjoy the shooting XD a game that gives me a degree of exploration but keeps things mostly linear is perfect. I can jump in and out and yes...

I never said anything about hating the linear nature, I'm fine with that. What I hate is Naughty Dog making a shit version of Gears of War between decent platforming. Oh and throwing in random awful QTE's.

How on earth is it even close to gears of war? :blink: Over the shoulder shooting, so it of course must be just like gears, right?

I expect QTE's in an adventure game :P and they're fun when they pop up.

Wow yes, because I forgot that Uncharted doesn't require you to use cover which is almost exactly like GeoW's. It's no coincidence the game uses a shitty cover system with Gear's popularity.

Err...

*decides to elaborate before Shaneman kicks his ass*

First person Uncharted would be epic fail, yes? So third person is good. Drake isn't a super-soldier so he can't run and gun, realistic yes? To stop being riddled with holes taking cover is a sensible option, yes?

I thought the cover system worked better than Gears's did, it felt more fluid and again, from a pop n shoot game, that's what I want :)

There are better third person gameplay mechanics that would have worked with alot less action which is what the game should have had.
Gears was alot more fluid since you could take a few bullets and most shoot outs never really lasted that long.

Depends on the difficulty with gears.

And like I said, Uncharted was successful because it had a lot of action, a lot of gamers get bored with Tomb Raider :P

Well popular opinion is that action should be removed from Tomb Raider. Uncharted was successful because the PS3 had buggerall else.

Amongst Tomb Raider fans, and they're dying out >_>

If you want a new audience you need something new, Uncharted was that. Sarcastic and funny lead, combat and good platforming.

Personally, I thought Uncharted was a very well made game, with obvious parallels to TR. The shooting's poor because the shooting isn't meant to be the main focus. The adventuring and the locales are the focus of the two games, and the action is a means to an end.

In this day and age, if you took the action out of an action-adventure, it wouldn't sell, and it wouldn't be popular with the mass public, therefore developers wouldn't invest in further games in that series. Give a little, get a little.

If it's not the main focus than why does Uncharted seem to spend more time in shootouts than actual platforming?

I don't know to be honest. You haven't got to the good bit though.

When you reach the second German sub, then I'll let you complain. You think Siren's scary...

Anyone else on the beta? I have been loving this over the last month.

Reknoc

No I didnt' get one with my Infamous :( Not that I mind much, don't really care about the multiplayer unless they've vastly overhauled the combat.

Seems this was the best of E3 apparently, I disagree as personally I found Splinter Cell to be more interesting but whatever. They didn't even show the hyper realistic snow the game apparently has.

According to whom?

I think IGN's best of E3 was err...a DS scribble game or something :I

Well I just saw that it got a 9.5 from IGN USA, pretty awesome score.

As a cool feature, if you have an Uncharted save on your PS3 you get $20,000 in-game and if you have a completed Uncharted save you get $80,000, a nice little bonus.

From all the hype and review scores, I might have to pick this up.

I'm not gonna dirty myself by reading an IGN review. Does the game still have the totally awesome medal system of Uncharted where trophies actually meant something?

Not sure about that one, I'd say it'd probably return.

I'm really psyched about multi-player, it was really hyped up as being good enough to be a game by itself. I've been waiting for a game worth playing online for ages.

I'm less interested in that myself. I really didn't like the gunplay in the original Uncharted and it would have need to have been seriously improved for me to even consider looking at Uncharted 2's multiplayer...

But I'll probably download the demo when it's out.

There's a pretty good video review up on Gametrailers. Just don't read the comments.

Also if you have a PS3 and you haven't downloaded the multiplayer demo then you're a dick. It's awesome.

Reknoc

So does no one else have this then?

I have to admit I'm pleasently surprised by this game. Everything from the gunplay the platforming even the rubbish treasure placement has been improved by alot. The story is still pretty good even with the obvious twist (the British guy ends up being a baddy) and it's pretty well paced throughout. I actually ended up completing it on the second day of owning it not because it's easy (though easier than the first game) or short but because it's just so good.
Not that I mind since there's still the awesome multiplayer to play which is pretty fun even if the matchmaking system is rubbish.

My brother has a 60gb Ps3 that he just keeps in it's box on top of his cupboard as he doesn't really play games much so I've told him I wanna pinch it for a bit and when I do I'll defo give this a rent see what the fuss is about.

It's a great game and my only real complaint is lack of Sully... and the shotgunners... and online's matchmaking oh my god matchmaking is so awful I need to build a time machine and go back in time before Bungie ruined online games with their shitty matchmaking bollocks.

Edit: Why yes I did just get kicked out of a game due to problems with the host after spending for-fucking-ever waiting to get into a game.
