So I work for IGN (technically I work for GameSpy as a software engineer, which is owned by IGN), and today the editors are having a celebration in honor of their 200th PlayStation podcast episode. Almost 100 fans are coming to the live broadcast, and Sony is graciously providing 12 demo booths running Uncharted 3 for the fans (and employees) to play before and after the broadcast. I've played both of the Uncharted games and enjoyed them, the first much more so than the second one, although the supernatural endings of both left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. While I probably won't be able to find out if there are aliens or garden gnomes at the end of the game today, I would like to give my impressions on what I do end up playing...so, that's where you fellow duders come in. Ask me anything and I will specifically look out for what you guys ask for and come back later today with detailed impressions. I'm not sure if we're going to be playing the E3 demo or a more finalized version of the game (hopefully I'll have more information soon), but ask me anything and hopefully I can answer them later today! I imagine since they are setting up so many systems that we'll be playing multiplayer, though.

I bet you wished you worked at Giantbomb.

I do. My previous job was front end UI/web design, but Giant Bomb seems like it runs a tight ship with only a handful of engineers, so alas there's no room for an entry level engineer like me. I'm content to watch their site grow and prosper from afar (well, not really afar...I work a few blocks away from them actually).

Will Nolan North be there?

oh i thought you were going to get a copy of the actual game....  oh well

Alright, here's a question. How are the graphics in comparison to Uncharted 2?

At this point there's probably very little I'm after. Got a solid impression on how it'll play thanks to the beta, and the E3 trailer rounded up the story all well enough; it's going to be another Uncharted game through and through, which is fantastic and all, but leaves little surprise. Currently, anywhoo. Hopefully the full game will barrel roll in some unsuspecting circumstances, but if there is anything like that I doubt they'd be showing it off.
 
Think it'll be best if you just blog your playtime once it's all settled (if you're allowed anywhoo). If it does show off a lil extra story semblance, I certainly hope it'll shed some sun on the villains. Cutter and Talbot could do with some surnames, dammit!
