[PS3] Uncharted 2

What's voice-chat like in this game? The Digital Foundry coop gameplay has the characters talking, which makes it more movie-like, but isn't condusive to teamwork. Can we actually talk tactics with teammates?
I haven't tried the voice chat myself, but you can talk to your teammates with it in any of the MP modes. It'll probably be a necessity on the higher difficulties in co-op.
It even allows you to hear anyone on the opposing talking as long as your close enough to them. The same way KZ2 does.
yep, does everything you'd expect and want to. PS Eye works good with it too' but I finally decided to get the officiaal headset from play.com anyway since it's pretty cheap now.
I've been avoiding watching the videos as to not spoil anything for myself and I think I may have forgot how good the game looks. I know this is beating a dead horse by now (and I've probably posted something like this before) but just from watching the co-op clip on there all I can say is wow.
Everything from the movements to the sounds of the guns (I particularly loved the new AK sound) to the animations and the graphics, this has to be the biggest improvement I've seen for a sequel on next gen console yet. Simply amazing.
October needs to get here faster!
I keep dying. Got lost in the maps. The layout is not as "squarish" as other games. You can climb up and down in many places. I spent most of my time experimenting whether I can climb here or there, and getting shot from all over the place (Yay...)
The controls is smooth but I have totally forgotten about the control scheme. The MP demo doesn't seem to show me the control layout. Check the net for Uncharted control scheme before you fire up the demo.
You can earn money and buy stuff to boost your stats too.
Getting into a game with mgs_van now.
EDIT: Bah... got kicked because my kid was babbling
Ahh great. I hadn't been avoiding the thread (i.e. you!). Been puppy shopping today. Hope you're enjoying it. This is a sign I think - I should join in the fun.

UC2 mp is decent at best but its not going to be anywhere near as good as Halo, Battlefield,COD mp is.Though, Im getting UC2 because the campaign mode looks to be much better then the original.Also, co-op with a friend is going to be alot of fun to have.

To a certain extent, I respectfully disagree with you....

Be careful there ! Take care of yourself first. NaughtyDog has enough fans to support them. OTOH, if you don't look after your own needs, few people will.
You can always wait a little longer to play a cheaper U2.
Errr... I don't think it's wise to compare a third person shooter + stealth/sabotage map with the other FPS or even run-n-gun shooter maps. Have you played the game ?
Yes, I am using PS Eye at home to connect to U2 online. I should turn up the volume to see if there is serious echo or not.

Yes, I have played the UC2 mp beta and I think its decent but nothing mindblowing to be honest with you.But, if you guys are having a ton of fun with it, then thats pretty cool.Im getting UC2 for the campaign and co-op experience and having a decent mp component is a nice thing to have as well.Overall, UC2 is a good overall package with nice value.

Phil, when I called you a ps3 only fanboy, I was just being sarcastic.Next time, I will put a sarcasm tag.My apologizes if you thought I was being a douchebag towards you.
I personally think what they have achieved so far is a rare feat. Will have to play the final game to decide whether it's a "good overall package with nice value" or a "ZOMGWTFBBQ" title.
I've just started to explore the maps. Still learning the controls and weapon handling. Got pulled off the cliff by one guy and shot up like bee hive in general. It's too early for me to say how much I will enjoy it. So far it's pretty interesting alright. ^_^
The U2 online platform reminds me of KZ2 and Resistance in various aspects. The auto-record is useful as a learning tool. All I know right now is I need to practise and equip myself with some boosters. Also need to try other game modes. I have only touched on deathmatch so far.
No problem. My saracasm detector is just broken. I'll chalk that up to lack of sleep...
You can set up a game in machinima mode. I did that with deepbrown though we had friendly fire off, and it's probably more fun with that on
(rocket launchers still work though). But this basically puts you in a map with no enemies, and you are free to explore (or to make home movies ). Deathmatch is the most fun mode in some way because it's the easiest way to level up, and get personal feedback. As a team-game though, stuff like capture the idol is a lot of fun. There are quite a few modes in the different categories, and I really enjoy most of them. I had a good co-op session with deepbrown yesterday. It was a bit short (or it felt short?), but quite enjoyable.
I liked by the way that when I looked at my friends online, I could see you were in an online game, what kind of online, and most importantly, about how long the match would take before it was finished. This allowed me to judge that I could play one game before your game was finished, and this turned out to be exactly right (which was partly luck of course, but it was a 48-50 score match, so very close).

Yeah, what the hell were we doing in that Machima? lol Was weird. Like hide and seek, but we couldn't die.
The co-op is my fave - there's also endless but I think you need three people.
Our co-op was short cause we actually worked together and it was on medium. When on hard you need three people to get through (and then there's crushing when you complete hard). But can never find another person to play with (cause patsu's being a useless family man
)
That was actually an option.
But it's not a competitive mode. It's really there for the specific purpose of messing around. You should google Machinima, or watch the Uncharted 2 demonstration of the full thing in a video a few pages back.I think you can do everything with two, depending on the difficulty.

Well yeah, we tried Hard first so I know that was tough.
Still think you can do it with two though, but you just have to be really good. We were still pretty much beginners.
