Apart from the stupid animations when people get shot, and the tacked on six-axis feature, it looks alright. Graphics are nice, and the gameplay, well... looks a little like Gears, a little like Tomb Raider, and a whole lot unoriginal. I don't see what all the fuss is about, except the graphics, for sure.

Yes. Yes they are. (Rawr.)

Ah you know, the same who talked about the RSX not being able to do AA and HDR at the same, those who said the PS3 was vertex impaired, said the CELL SPEs couldn't do integers, said the CELL isn't general purpose, said the SPEs can't do branching and spiced things up with talk about how eDRAM gives free 4xFSAA.
They'll be easy to find as they are still spewing out these things. ^.^

Some does. I know for sure I've seen taller grass move when you run through it.Core407 said:

They also talked about adding footprint on moss and such.
Awesome. I could have sworn I read something about the moving foliage earlier. I just assumed it was phased out for some reason. Nice to hear about the moss, too. I can see myself spending hours just exploring the jungle itself.
I love that they have fleshed out the fighting system since Sony Gamer's day.
Now it's mandatory that Nathan will have a Indy style fist fight with a really big baddie.
Perhaps in the future of gaming well see chase+fight scenes like the motorcycle one in Indy 3 where he crawls all over the truck.

Unfortunately that full level went right back to 'underwhelming' status for me. The platforming looked fine, but the shooting lacked punch, the enemies were stupid, and the melee was still spastic and sloppy. Might skip this one and wait for Jak IV. Visually it looked really good, the best of 07 even, gameplay wise... simple and sloppy.

The melee stuff, if you watched the interview Amy did with Game Trailers, is meant to look sloppy. Drake isn't a trained fighter, he's going to swing wildly while fighting instead of looking like he just hopped out of a martial arts movie.

What kind of punch were you looking for in the shooting? The grenades and explosive barrels can launch enemies a dozen feet up in the air, the head/neck shots are in, the hand cannon definitely packs a huge punch (one hit kill plus knocking the enemy back), the shotgun seems powerful, the enemy using the stationary turret against Drake puts a lot of pressure on the player was bullets was whizzing by the player even when he's under cover, enemies definitely react to being shot, sometimes in a comical fashion/location-specific, and I don't know why you would call the enemies stupid because they do use cover and they would actively try to outflank the player.

I really enjoyed Gamersyde's new video. Looks really smooth, action looks like fun and the platforming looks fantastic. Nice motion blur too.

Indeed!
The game has come a long way in such a short time. It has changed a lot of things for better lately. It now looks a complete nextgen experience, and the gameplay seems very good too.
And those pictures in the last post,wow. Those textures are REALLY high res
Congrats on that engine, ND

Looking at the recent videos and the target render now.... I think they have actually SURPASSED it. The textures on the walls and Drake looks much better now!

He should rip off his shirt's sleeves at some point and go Rambo style.

Uncharted will make people say "Gears of Huh?"
and watching the Gamersyde video, I want a Die Hard game made with this engine, it would be perfect.

Wow those textures are nuts.
As a photographer, I also appreciate how when Nathan is in the shadows, the color temperature cast is cooler/bluer:
...and when he's out in the sun, the color is warmer/neutral.
A few other games on various platforms do this well, but I'm always surprised how many don't. It's a subtle effect that pays off, IMO.
...but those textures are wowsome.
