[PS3] Uncharted 2

I can't remember MGS4 water clearly. There's the small pond in the South America battlefield, the canal in the spy chase, the ocean in the mecha duet and the submarine fist fight. Only the S. America scene allowed me to wade into the water. Is that the one you're referring to ?

 

True that water in MGS4 is not "that" common. What's there is high tech though.

You can freely interact with the water in the act 3 canals and the act 2 rivers. In the realtime cutscene water shows up a couple of times as well, in some big set pieces in act 3, 4 and 5 (could be more though, my memory is a little fuzzy).

 

Absolutely no. The water hasn't the reflections in mgs4 and the physics is limited to the waves animations. In uncharted is more complex with distortion of the world reflection who follow the waves in motion.

 

Hmm...I'll have to double check, but for right now I disagree. I dont' remember being as impressed by water in MGS4.

 

What I want is more variety in the blooming Rocks. It's like 90% (completely made up number) of rocks in games are virtually the same with similar looking textures. Having lived in the Midwest (US), Pacific NW (US), Hawai'i, Taiwan, Japan and other places. Rocks have much greater variety than what I usually see in a game just walking down a street. Or going on a hike.

Anyway, all that is to say, damn those rocks in that screenshot are sure bland.

I knew it! I knew the moment anyone said 'this is the best water...' we'd collapse into a 'best water in a computer game' thread!

Please stay on the topic of Uncharted 2!

 

I'd wager you did not play Uncharted 1? At least I liked it plenty in that game. The only game ever where I actually stopped to watch the rocks

 

Yep the rocks in Uncharted 1 are great - if you're in the jungle they're covered in moss etc. If they're wet, they look wet. They had a bunch of different rock textures in the game.

The refraction and reflection in U1 is excellent, I just want to see if they managed to put in their 3D water into U2. No more questions for the Dawgs? If not, it's being sent off today.

 

OK too late now

 

Sorry Mr. Shifty, my fault there.

Now, when exactly is this beauty coming out ? I'm from Europe but i might import it from overseas if there's too much delay here (i mean, is it !?)

 

13 October U.S., I think 23 for Europe (I'm sure there's lots of dialogue translation work going on - imagine hours of dialogue in 12+ languages )

 

Two more months! It's been a while since I was excited for a game but this has me on edge waiting.

 

On tech sharing between first/second party studios...

Yeah, I heard that. He also mentions that they talk with the God of War guys once a month, and that the sharing between the studios generally consists of exchanging ideas and solutions, rarely of specific code, just saying 'we solved that this way, etc.'. There's a lot of sharing between artists in particular also.

 

New screens and tidbits:

EDIT: Argh, one of the new screens spoiled a new enemy type.

 

Damn ! I saw something i shouldn't have seen ! A new environment !

 

Awesome screens Patsu I mean look at this http://www.1up.com/media/03/7/4/3/lg/691.jpg!
The object based motion blur and DOF add so much more to the visual, the dogs never fail to impress as always.

 

Heh, if you don't point it out, I won't be able to tell specifically. KillZone 2, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, The Last Guardian and others are all beautiful in their own right. I am more excited about Uncharted as a wholesome game . I also look forward to the crumbling level(s) while Drake is still in it.

 

Wouldn't the 'original Naughty Dogs' have worked on Rings of Power?
