The graphics don't look that good...and remember TFU? It looked to be an astonishing push forward in physics and graphics and look how that turned out. And why do people want this to be Uncharted? Uncharted is Uncharted. Companies should stop ripping of other companies games and use a long lost principle called creativity.

Because creativity doesn't work unless it's an accident. You can't take a big budget title and say, "Okay, be creative and go nuts!!" No one's going to pay for that. It's why movies are always pitched as, "______ meets ______!" Take two big things and say your movie's like that. "It's like Star Wars meets Uncharted!" Boom. Money.

Creative ≠ going nuts. People pay for creativity all the time. It's what they spent their money on when they saw Inception, or Transformers, or Star Wars. They payed to see something different. Heck, Uncharted was different once upon a time!! What people don't need is more of the same. The whole reason people play video games is to get away from the mundane routines of everyday life. Why all of the sudden would people want to make it a routine of playing essentially the same thing over and over; does this not become work itself? the very reality of repetition people attempted to flee in the first place?

Well I've gone through $20 and $30 headsets pretty quickly, maybe a few months if I'm lucky. Usually something falls off or on the ears stops working.

I'll be using it daily for narration purposes. I already own a desk mic but I want something that's convenient for gaming. How are wireless headsets? Are they reliable? require batteries? I realize that might be upping the price but I want something of good quality and durability.

I'm looking to buy a new headset within the price range of 0-$50, preferably through Amazon. Any good recommendations?

You should start with something smaller unless you're just doing this for fun. You could actually gain reputation by submitting manuscripts to various lit-journals around the world. Not a bad way to craft a hobby into something with a possible reward. Sometimes journals will give cash rewards for the best submissions. Definitely worth a try!

I don't know what the OP is on about. The animatic the OP is referring to (open cow pastures) is going to be far from how the game actually plays (past AC cutscenes and current AC III gameplay footage). It is well known that 'open fields' we're the products of Native American and probably colonial hunting tactics and it was not uncommon to find open territory in PA and MA near major cities for example. I will say one thing though being from CT myself...I don't really get the whole 'cliffs on the water' thing as shown in the 7 min footage. There aren't really any cliffs like that until you wind up further North like in the Maine area. CT shoreline is pretty flat and up to Boston I believe its pretty much the same...but Ubisoft is a French company so I don't expect them to have made a plot for plot recall of the entire North East territory.

Second, this is a video game. Since when did video games or movies become near-reality simulations? This isn't Microsoft Naval Simulator 2000, and even if it was you can bet it will still be unrealistic because it's a video game.

Sorry I don't mean to come out guns blazing but as a writer and editor, I constantly deal with people who are against a fictional story because they claim it was unbelievable. If it weren't fictional then they might be right, but this is fiction and this is a video game. Naturally it won't adhere to the rules of realism.

I guarantee you the American Civil War will be a DLC and the assassination of Lincoln...or maybe they won't because of controversy?
