Wow. Last thing I hear is: "Hey! Is there going to be a third Uncharted!?" reply- "Well... that's up to the fans." oh and what do we have here? A game that looks very close to done. I know it's been two years, but it still seems like it didn't take too long to get this up and running, and not that I'm saying I odn't like that, but I feel a little dissapointed. From the looks of it, it does look like an improvement over two, but it's not that huge (or suprising). Overall though, I'm looking forward to this.

Uncharted 3 is making another solid case for linear games, in this sea of sandboxes.

Seems they've hit gold with Uncharted 2's formula refinements over the first. This has all the window dressings of 2, with a few tweaks here and there, set within some new locales and some equally engaging writing and voice acting. Can't wait to play it. Uncharted 2 was extremely meaty and enjoyable, so I'll probably get a kick out of the third installment.

Agh, everything looks gorgeous, but why, why does the jump animation look so floaty? Everything else looks incredible but the jumping/in air animations have snapped me out of these games...the attention to detail on all the other aspects really bums me out that Drake is stuffing helium under that half-tuck

So, Sully walks on a BEAM and the guys don't shoot him? I totally would have shot an old dude trying to cross a wooden beam right in the leg, before diving for cover. 
 
And... they should fix the shooting. UC games always had one big problem for me ; guns felt like pea shooters. Blop Blop Blop. 
 
I totally loved UC2 thought. Awesome game.

Man, it's not the most clever game in terms of its gameplay, but it's by far the most refined game.  Absolutely everything in this game screams of craft.  The action is the old standby, but Naughty Dog's unparalelled technical ability brings such a kinetic rush from it.  The technical mastery services the action, which by itself might be a little bogstandard.  But nothing looks remotely as good as Uncharted, even the lovingly rendered God of War 3 looks like a video game when you move Kratos around with the stick.
 
First Uncharted the big artistic goal was the water effects and the jungle, the second it was snow and the train sequence... I'd have to say this one is aiming for deformed terrain.  The way things fall apart in Drake's Deception is Goddamn beautiful, there's that short clip of him shooting a humvee with an RPG and the stone support under it collapses.  I thought most of the tech would go to rendering the sand as well as they did snow in the sequel, but the deformation in this clip alone is amazing.
 
The fire looks pretty good too, and fire is probably the one thing video games will never be able to render realistically.

Not a bad. I'll take a heavily scripted Hollywood blockbuster to a bad sandboxy experience.

- The enemies seam to very stoic as in they're looping some animation and not making it convincing they're doing something. 
 
++Hand to hand combat looks awesome. Very well done. 
 
- The shooting from hanging looks BAD. How does a person lit himself up like that perch on top of a railing like Spiderman WITH his pistol out and fall back onto the railing like nothing. That needs to be fixed or made to look better. Concept it cool, but at the moment, looks dumb. 
 
++Lighting looks fantastic. 
 
+-Shooting mechanics are good. I hope they're playing it on easy, because the AI seams pretty clumsy at shooting. 
 
++Over all looks absolutely fantastic. Here's hoping this game keeps up with the high quality.

I agree to an extent but a well funded, long running development studio like Naughty Dog with Sony's backing for a flagship title such as this is sure to be good - between the size of the development studio, their funding, and their (hopefully) genuine passion for making great games, I have no doubt that those two years were put to very good use; oh, and I am sure that even though they said "That's up to the fans" that they were in the preliminary stages of drafting up the 3rd Uncharted while applying the finishing touches on the 2nd.  Don't get me wrong though, I know where you're coming from and similarly share in your sentiments.

My background is animation and all but a few games drive me nuts since animation always comes dead last in game development.  Ridiculous amounts of effort go into making the graphics look good, while animation typically just poorly strung together mocap clips. 
 
That said, Uncharted does a really good job blending the animation and pushes the "reactive animation" envelope a lot further than most 3rd person games do.

One of the big differences between Nathan Drake and Desmond Miles is Desmond is a much better climber. :)

I'm pretty sure they fixed that because I don't remember the enemies being bullet sponges in the second game.

 It might be for demo purposes, but it looks like they take control from the player at certain instances, for cinematic effect. Not particularly a fan of that, but it might just be for demo purposes. "
I'll bet that's consistent with the game as a whole, not just for the demo.   Yanking control away from the player constantly to shift camera angles or reorient Drake so he's in the position the game wants him to be in at a particular time is Uncharted's thing.   It's one of the reasons I don't like the Uncharted games quite as much as most people seem to.

I hope those fire effects are WIP (which they probably are) cause they don't look too hot in comparison to the great looking everything else. :)
