Uncharted : Drake's Fortune*

It's not my tv, I don't have the demo. Thanks for rubbing it in

 

Yeah... up to about 5 at a time is a handful. If there are more of 'em, they will be all over the map (Even if you're behind cover, they will find ways to get you pretty quickly).

I think this is one of the main differences between Resistance and Uncharted, and it's not too obvious from the videos. Apart for the Berserkers, it typically takes a Chimera more time to start charging or flanking me. So there is enough room/time to play with weapons. In Uncharted, while some of them stay behind cover, those in the open are on the move constantly to nail me (sometimes from cover to cover). So the pressure is on me (constantly) to keep a tab on their rough positions. Even when I change cover, these guys are quick to adjust.

Compared to CoD4, CoD4 is more scripted and the soldiers are less intelligent (but it's okay ! due to the chaos and intense battle all around us). I really like how the different games have their own unique situations to deal with.



Although I am pretty fast to clear the level now...
If Uncharted adds more on-screen enemies, I hope they give me a rocket launcher. The grenades are not too effective: These guys can see and evade grenade, so they will take defensive action, and the obstacles tend to limit the blast radius too. So my grenade usually just blow 1 guy up.

Yeap... try the store demo (assuming it's going to be there) ! I think most people will feel awkward the first time round (especially the aiming). But subsequent playthrough should be smoother and you can start to execute your strategy/tactics instead of reacting to the pirates.

Ooooohh.. yeah that sucks. I can understand that feeling. Sony and ND, hurry up !


EDIT: Also forgot to mention that the pirates seem to retain their state. I saw 1-2 pirates covering their stomachs while running for cover during our second encounters. I thought that was pretty funny.

Also when Elena finally join the party, she will be able to take some heat off Nathan. And here, we probably will get to learn more melee moves (e.g., snap neck from behind).

 

If you see a guy with a grenade, shoot his arm and he will drop it - then "KABOOOM""!

wish I could try it

 

Actually, it was a coincidence on both accounts. I just hopped out from cover... spray a healthy supply of bullets at 2 pirates behind the same low wall and snapped back quickly (There was a third to my right). Almost at the same time, I heard the grenade timer, followed by an explosion. The next time I jumped out, those 2 were already gone.

 

Any news for us Europenas being able to play the demo?

 

Yes we need to wait to 22 november Then they wil release the demo on the European PSN stores. There will be no patch or any kind of workaround.

 

Uh, you have ZERO evidence of that. As I posted...they are aware of the problem, AND they are working on it.

 

Only a dozen or so different european sites that are reporting this. And that as an update to their previous stories.

IGN (I know)

Zero Evidence?

... damn two minutes late.

 

That isn't a reply to what the guy said on the official blog. That is merely IGN asking "when will a demo be up on the euro store" Has nothing to do with this problem. I'm quite aware of all the news, and the relevance of their statements.

 

I'd take a look at your TV's settings, seems like you have the sharpen filter turned way too high.

 

BTW, Drake reminds me of Malcolm Reynolds a lot... Particularly as he's falling down with the parachute in the intro, yelling crapcrapcrapcrapcrap...

 

Yeah, this is where a contact shadow or some kind of screenspace AO could help in general.

 

Haha, that's true actually. He is kinda like Reynolds.

 

Hey deepbrown, I think this is for your 5-year-old:

So that means.....great

Going to download it now

 

A great an honest effort by Naughty Dog.
Hats off to them!
I'm re-downloading the demo now, but I'm saving it for my new HDTV, a Samsung M86 40" Full HD to be delivered on Monday!

 

2 feelings about the demo

A. Was a very dissapointed man yesterday
B. Am a even more dissapointed, but satisfied (?) man today.

Reason for each of the comments
A. Didn't get to play the demo as I have a Japan version of PS3

B.
Part 1. The satisfaction
Graphics incredible. except for minor frame stutters, the game feels very smooth. Looking for flaws in the graphic department for this game would be nickpicking from my point of view.

Gameplay: I'm having trouble with the combo system. It seems that bashing buttons in order doesn't work for this game. A more step by step combo seems to work much better. Not a real issue really, but a preference issue lol
One big thing I would like to complain about is actually the enemy. It's not the AI or anything like that because they actually give me quite a challenge. Their actions are quite dynamic and do somewhat different thing every time. The problem is them being too skinny. Headshots are hard to get because they move around quite a bit, so the next target would be their bodies. However, being skinny decreases my accuracy very much lol.

Part 2. The dissapointement

IT'S SO SHORT!!!!
Why isn't the game out now so I could play it



oh yeah, everyone does know that you can shoot while hanging off a wall, right?

 

You can do that in the demo. Melee someone from behind and Nathan will jump on their back and snap their neck.

 

Yes, someone in GAF was able to do it, but not me

The pirates are too tough for me to melee alone.
