*MINOR SPOILERS* First 10 minutes of Uncharted 2
*picks jaw up off floor
I had to stop myself halfway since I didn't want to over indulge but can I just say WOW. I really believe every great thing said about this game. It's so slick, the gameplay is so cinematic, it's just mindblowing. This is something that will translate well and totally be appreciated on the big screen at the previews next week.
That 10 minutes is bad ass!!! I cant wait to get my hands on the game. I am also attending a pre-screening in theater in Thousand Oaks next week which includes multiplayer live demo play. That's going to be off the hook!!!
However, last night I downloaded the multiplayer demo, and I was surprised at just how much better the shooting feels. Add some good storytelling and epic set pieces to that, and it looks like this could be one hell of a game.
Going to the screening just for that if not for anything else, the giant screen format HD perfection, the multiplayer live demo and oh yeah, a sneak peak! more than just 10 minutes I hope!!!
Should I play the first game before this one? Or is the story kind of like another adventure of Nathan Drake, Indiana Jones style?
One thing I'm not sure I'll like (or I will absolutely love it) is that it looks like I'll always be fucking tense when playing. Every few seconds it looks like you are about to die. It is like that in all gameplay videos I have seen. Sweaty palms, edge of the seat, putting too much pressure on my toes, the whole works.
The only thing that I was thinking is that Nathan is so fuck.
Yea, I'm sold. Now I need to save up and buy a PS3.
Couldn't hurt to play through the original, though. Among Thieves' is reportedly very reliant on character relationships and interactions, so maybe familiarizing yourself with Drake, Sully and Elena might be beneficial.

Hey, you have the same avatar as me!
Hey, this is really creepy!
" @Origina1Penguin: I think I read in a review that the events of Drake's Fortune are rarely mentioned. Seems Naughty Dog intends to make Uncharted into a semi-self contained Indiana Jones kind of thing, which I think is the right way to go. Couldn't hurt to play through the original, though. Among Thieves' is reportedly very reliant on character relationships and interactions, so maybe familiarizing yourself with Drake, Sully and Elena might be beneficial. "Thanks for the replies. I don't rent games, but I'll be sure to look for the original Uncharted when I get some free time for it. Character building is important to me, so playing the first game will probably allow me the best experience possible out of the sequel. Thanks again.
First 10 minutes of Uncharted 2... what is it the install screen? LAWL. I can't wait to see giant bomb give this game 3 stars, way to fail at copying Gears of Wars cover system guys. Hey I hope your online is good, have fun cross game voice chatting with your friends... OH WAIT A SECOND! HAHAHA.
ps. sweet textures (lol)

Aww, look at the cute little troll throwing a tantrum. "You know it had to happen. Anyway, that looks great and as a big fan of the first game I can't wait to sink my teeth into this one. I am sort of thankful it's still a couple of weeks away cause I have a bunch of other stuff to try and get through as well.
If this game was any good it would have been on 360 aswell (with better textures and higher framerate), Bill Gates can buy any company he wants that makes good games, thats why you rarely see good exclusives on anything other than the 360. Crackdown, Gears of War, Halo, all 360, all classic games of this generation. I play them online with cross game voice chat.

- Bill Gates is no longer an employee of Microsoft, so no, he can't
- If the only feature you can think of on the Xbox 360 that isn't on the PS3 is cross game voice chat, then you've run out of things to complain about on the PS3. Here's on feature on the Xbox 360 that's not on the PS3: $50 a year online play.

"First off, halo, and crackdown are not classics of this generation, Gears yes for sure, but crackdown not really, and halo made its bones on the original xbox. So no. Also you see many exclusives not on the 360, lets see of the top of my head, super smash brothers, inFamous, LittleBigPlanet, i can continue but i won't. Also the better textures and higher framerate are bs. Almost all games this gen run at 60 FPS, o i didn't the 360's 60 FPS is better than the PS3's 60 FPS.
PS Naughty Dog is owned by Sony so there is no chance that this game would ever come to the 360.
Troll elseware thanks
