never EVER did i say Lair was a GOOD game, i said the sixaxis controls wasnt the games fatal flaw. Lair was for LOLs and the fact i had already paid for it when i bought my machine.Quote:

His point was, according to your lame excuse for an argument since Lair did not have mass appeal it is good. Reading comprehension -1,000,000.Quote:

I've suddenly become very interested in this game.
You always had great taste so it was inevitable.
Looks kinda Gears of Warish. Actually looks pretty good.

PALGN: Is it disappointing to see other developers work on Crash Bandicoot?
EW: Yes, a little bit. It's, I don't know if you want to quote me on this, It's a little bit like watching your daughter do porn.

All I did was press the aim button. By simply raising his hands and not moving any other part of his body, he's now able to shoot the boxes that were completely behind the wall as well as anyone darting between those pillars that were also obscured. You'll notice the guard that was standing in the middle of the first screen is now a dead body on the right side of the second screen. BIBLE MAGIC!

I bet that never gets fixed
i just tried it, he actually takes a step back, then again im doing it at a different section of the map, lets see
Wow, that's really awful. How didn't they catch that?
why the fuck are we discussing Drake in its own thread?
I thought that was what the playstation 3 thread was for.
A step back is not going to reassemble the physical world. Boxes that were 100% BEHIND the wall are now mostly in view, he would have to walk a couple feet to the right to accomplish that. Try just hitting the aim button a couple times real quick without letting him get all the way into position, you'll notice all he does is raise his arms without actually going anywhere.Quote:

GoW didn't have those issues thanks to a larger reticule spread, aim memory, and you could still aim to some extent while hiding. I mean, it's nice that Uncharted has cover and all but it's very tacked on and unfinished.Quote:

I think the game needs a couple more months of work to be amazing. It's pretty good right now, the demo makes me feel it'll be a solid 8/10 overall, but with a little more effort it could be something really special. But there's always the sequel, right? And who knows, maybe there's more stuff in the full game I don't know about yet that's awesome and makes me love it to death.
Finally tried out the demo...I think this will be my 2nd PS3 game. :D
well yeah like you said its just that level, there will be more things to cover around maybe itll prove itself useful in different situations. I dunno about TACKED ON cover system but it works fine for me popping from one cover to the other, over, ect.Quote:

The game felt fun and looks promising. A lot of it felt like Tomb Raider: anniversary in regards the environmental puzzles of figuring out where to go.
The real question is if this will be fun stretched out over an entire game. I for one hope that the full retail release is a little more varied in the gameplay department.
Played through the demo, it was alot of fun. I will put it on my birthday wishlist and hope someone get it for me! :)
Definitely enjoyed the demo. Nice fun action, and characters finally dont look as plastiky as they did in all the screenshots and videos before.
http://stage6.divx.com/user/dfyb/vid...und-in-a-hurry
quick runthrough of the demo in easy mode, for those who havent had the chance or cant.
I finally got around to checking out the demo and, despite liking the character and overall feel, didn't really care too much. It just felt like another run & gun action shooter relying on duck & cover tactics with a tiny bit of Tomb Raider pasted on top. Nice animation when it wasn't glitching out, but hardly enough to warrant a $60 purchase.
James
Yeah, goddamn, and I thought this was going to be the game to finally start off my PS3 collection. I'm thinking I'll wait for a price drop what with all the other great stuff coming out within the next couple months.
Yea checked it out yesterday. I've been playing a lot of Gears lately so something about Uncharted didn't exactly click with me, felt to loose in the movement maybe(no problem shooting though). Could also be because I've been using the 360 controller mainly for the past two months as well. Looking forward to the full release still, I love me some jungle.Quote:

Well after several hours and two DL's (which included some error message during the install the first time I DL'ed it) I finally was able to play the demo, which I thought was great. Sure, it's not groundbreaking and it's stuff we've played before in other games, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Visually, the game looks fantastic. Little details like Drake being visibly completely drenched after going under the waterfall are awesome. I'll definitely be purchasing this next week.
9.5 Presentation
The whole thing has the polish of a major motion picture and goes out of its way to immerse you in the experience with amazing cutscenes, music and more.
9.0 Graphics
There's no doubt the game looks great and that the use of in-game assets for the movies is seamless transition, but there's still a fair amount of screen tearing and texture pop in.
9.5 Sound
From the low instrumental piece accompanying the opening screen to the sweeping score that runs throughout the whole game, this is what videogame music should be.
9.0 Gameplay
This game is flat-out fun to play. Leaping from ledges is awesome, shootouts are fun, and the occasional vehicle section is a nice change of pace. Still, the pirate battles can be a bit much.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
The game is short, but the medals, rewards and bonuses should be enough to bring you back at least once.
9.1 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/834/834931p1.html
apparently its 8-10 hour game, more if you go for the extras, with branching paths, and lots of things to find and collect (it also has home trophys, but its not out yet)
I thought it was kind of funny how the playstation blog linked to the ign review: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/...-first-review/
And if you watch that video review on IGN the first thing the guy says is "BUY THIS GAME." What kind of review is that?
So picked this up today...I loved the demo so I thought I'd give this a chance. Needless to say I'm loving it so far...Gears of War meets Tomb Raider IMO. The game world looks beautiful, having taken many moments just to admire the scenery. There is also a quasi-Achievement system for finding treasure, killing amount/technique, etc.
I guarantee those are hooks that will open up "achievements" as soon as Home launches.
Has anyone seen this anywhere buy GS/EB? I'm hoping Best Buy will have it tomorrow so I can use the 10% off coupons this weekend.
I'm hoping to do the same with Assassin's Creed. :tu:Quote:

Just saw it at a local Best Buy about an hour or so ago.Quote:

I liked the demo, but I hate the idea of paying $60 for such a short game. Seems more like a rental.
uncharted achievements will unlock when home releases
uncharted DLC in the works as they work on the sequel
http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2007/11/18/...opportunities/
There's a noticeable amount of screen tearing and inconsistent framerate but overall the game is gorgeous and plays very well. I will have to agree with the comparsions to Gears/RE4/Tomb Raider.
The satisfying gameplay makes me think this will have some decent replay value, especially if there are worthwhile unlockables but I'll always welcome more DLC.
are you playing on 1080i? because its apparently tearing more on that then 720, im not bothered or rarely notice it, but i am on 720Quote:

Anyone who has a PS3 and doesn't buy this is a dumb fuck. The demo was one of the worst parts of the game it turns out, which isn't too bright on ND's part.
Uncharted took Mario's best shot and then knocked the little pussy out.
I'm constantly scouring areas for glistening treasure before I move on to the next.
ive been taking this game VERY slow since i was on "vacation" over the weekend, just finished chapter 6 and ahh i love it. Hard difficulty is the way to go, and ive already got the 100 headshot medal, i dont know why so many people were having problems landing any.
Yeah, I had the 100 headshots early as well. I'm awful at the melee combat. I just can't get the timing right since I don't do it often enough.
yeah usually melee is my last resort, so i am just mashing to kill the fucker before his buddies shoot me down.
zomg i got 2 more games though, what to play!!!

The cover system in Uncharted is actually better than Gears of War. I just don't think the demo did a good job of showing what the game was all about.
The only reason ME's cover system seems better is because you are given more protection than you should when under cover in ME. You can blast away at an enemie in ME but if they are leaning in cover they will not take damage. In Drake the physical are of the cover is what protects you. Also, the enemies are actually smart & will flank you and compromise your cover.
QTF. Just beat it on hard, absolutely AAA from start to finish. Its kept me off of Mass Effect and SMG, now that im done, time to dive into those before i restart uncharted on crushing difficulty, with flip mode and fast motion (yay for rewards)Quote:

I already explained this, read it again. To reiterate: Uncharted's cover system only gives good defense while having no offensive options. It's great for hiding but if you want to actually kill any of your enemies it's all but useless since the game doesn't allow you to aim from cover nor retain aiming memory.Quote:
Originally Posted by B-Ri

The entire reason one has a cover system is so that you can pop out quickly, shoot, and then duck right away (see: kill.switch, GoW, ME). Since Uncharted has no lock-on, no way to retain aiming, and is using an analog stick it's just as safe and a much better choice offensively to just walk behind stuff for protection and then strafe out as you need to fire.
I was loling about ME because it has aiming from behind cover and target memory which Uncharted doesn't. Just struck me as funny for two games with similar styles of combat to come out at the same time, yet the group which hasn't made a shooter before does everything the company that's much more experienced in real-time combat does and more.
Its very easy to do this, you press L1 then let go of it after you shoot.Quote:

as for it NOT holding the same position while in and out of cover, you are absolutely wrong. You are basing that on a demo from a not yet fully complete version of the game, and you LOL at the game demo in comparison to a game that you own the gold version of.
It does exactly what a cover system should do, and it holds your aim, and you can blindfire with as much accuracy as you could expect from it.
What this game does and doesnt do is whats throwing people off. It doesnt sticky like other console FPSs or over-the-shoulders do, aim more accurately and adjust your sensitivity, this game isnt going to do the killing for you.
Secondly, these guns have recoil, which in the middle of firing will move around, along with your enemies, who will not just stand there and get shot.
The cover system isnt useless.
I was going to come in here earlier and complain that I was a little disappointed in this game...I was going to spout the same ol' tired lines about this game just being a boring cross between Tomb Raider and Gears of War...blah blah blah...
BUT DAMN this game gets really fucking good after about level 4! I really have nothing bad to say about this game now, because Naughty Dog has obviously hit another one out of the park. My only complaint with the game now is that it seems like its going by way too fast. I'm just getting a gut feeling that this will be a short but very sweet game :)
So the combat system is totally different in the full game? You should've said that in the first place instead of saying you STILL didn't understand like you did the first time we talked about it. gg. Of course, that does prove that the cover system was tacked on and unfinished like I was saying earlier.Quote:

You pissed away $60 on Halo 3. Go buy Uncharted instead of speculating based on a demo.
Because it was only half implemented in a demo that was at most a couple months old. Pretty obvious, really.Quote:

Didn't bother me, and I do get motion sickness from FPS some times, so I am susceptible.
Finished it up and started hard right away. Despite some shortcomings this was one of the years best games. Perfect lenght and variety for me and plenty of unlockables. Music was great and I liked the characters, I thought the cutscenes was stellar, much better than Heavenly Sword imo.
If there's a sequel then I hope they just fix the blur and give weapons a little more umph to them (though later weapons were pretty good in that department). Drake not really aiming were the reticule is and swimming almost above the water are some things that break the immersion.
I don't understand why you think the coversystem in Uncharted is better than Gears though Yoshi, care to explain?
It works very similarly, but Gears' is completely unrealistic. You could aim while covered, which is ridiculous. I love Gears, but multiplayer would have been even more interesting if you had to take a risk to line up a head shot, instead of being covered and just waiting for the other guy to pop up first.
Yeah, the swimming on the surface only did kind of surprise me.
I can understand that, even though I have no problem with how Gears does it. I didn't like how Drake cant hug a wall and move from there, it has to be the edge (if it isn't a low wall). Gears felt a lot more fluid somehow too imo.Quote:

It's really a lot like Tomb Raider except that it trades proficiency in platforming for good shooting mechanics (whereas Tomb Raider has good platforming but shit shooting). It's got a lot of bad parts, though, which kept me laughing throughout most of the time I played. Not a bad game, but I wouldn't pay money for it and I won't be playing any more.
Translation: MarkRyan's taste still sucks.
MarkRyan's impressions indicate I will love this game.
I give up on trying to understand MarkRyan. I simply don't understand his taste in games. It makes absolutely no sense.
On topic, I like this game. Platforming taken from my favourite 3D platformers - Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider, shooting taken from one of my favourite action games, plus Naughty Dog's usual amazing presentation skills all combine to make me want a PS3. But November has wiped out my game budget. Guess I know what I'm dropping the cash on during next year's inevitable drought.
Going up the river in the jet ski while avoiding exploding barrels and being shot at with rocket launchers is controller throwing good times.
oh jees markryan, youve now lost me with those impressions, jesus christ.
