Well that was a demo given to some journalists... I doubt it's the same one. I know it starts at the parachuting though.

I am (pleasantly) surprised by the 4 level demo rumor. deepbrown, I didn't see anything denying that the demo will have first 4 levels though. Is it true that the game will have 20 levels ? Since the game is story driven, putting a cliff-hangar at the end of level 4 may help to sell the game.
It didn't debunk it...but it's not true
Do you want 20% of the game in a demo. All you need is a taste of the first level.

EDIT: That's 20%, but from a consumer perspective... the more the merrier. From Sony's perspective, they only need to find THE drive for people to own Uncharted and then make sure that reason shines in the demo.
Yus 20% lol. Partly True...you do realise that the first 4 chapters would be 2hours gameplay. Unless a level and a chapter is a different thing...
Hooray !...but can you shoot them ?
You can try...I hear the monkey's are pretty fast.
I think the demo should include a lush jungle environment (and/or the water one), a reasonably long dialog between Nathan and the girl, some CQC and gunplay, and most importantly some treasure hunting element.
So either the boat scene followed by a quick jungle session would work (or just the jungle stage with a little puzzle solving). Yes, 2 hours is too much of a giveaway.

The animation is about the only thing I don't find impressive about Uncharted. Varied and seamless, yes. Realistic and fluid, no.
HD version of the new trailer for your better trolling needs:

odd, the animations are one of the most impressive things about the game imo.
I think it is becouse it doesn't aim to be realistic except in cut-scenes. Makes it hard to distinguish from other games that have varied animations. But the thing that the animations have lots of small fine movements yet without aiming for complete realism makes the movement still look good. Crysis would be an other game with equally as impressive animations but it aims for more realism in the movements, and even surpasses it in many points IMO.
Seconded.

Also those splashes actually look pretty good in HD...
For everyone else:
Uncharted needs the ability to take screenshots.

Drake running around and side jumping while hanging on a wall looks weird to me but they seem to be more like a convenience choice rather than an artistic one (though I think for the former they can do better).
Drake's local skeletal animation however is way better than anything I have seen (I haven't seen third person Crysis videos). Melee combat looks great too.
Weapon and grenade effects on enemies are hit and miss which may be an artistic choice.
ps: I vote for a Crysis tag for Nebula
It may be myself being inexperienced,
but the watter effects gave me a similar "wow" that I experienced when I tried the Crysis Direct 10 hack on XP.
Funny, I'm actually looking much more forward to playing the game in 1080i than 720p now.
another question here, as they enabled 1080i display (for older CRTs), why don't they enable 1080i=>1080p where they do something about the interlacing? or heck just ignore the interlacing and let the display do something about it?
I know that it would sacrafice some resources, but... oh well I guess just outputting 720p and letting the display upscale to 1080p would be the same, (just noticed that I answered my own question)

Nah huge difference (look in my sig, set2+3) but the water in the boat scene/cut-scene is very good!
