I doubt there will be any installation. Nothing visible anyways. First Uncharted also needed about 1GB of free disk space, but the end user never knew it used that as a virtual memory. This one will probably be the same.

yep, they use it for cache... cc at people not knowing their history! :D

Looks like you'll need to install some data this time around. Better preorder your sandwich.

2. 1.7 GB isnt alot considering alot of the 5 GB game installs we've been getting. Definitely not enough time to eat a sandwich( unless you want to suffer from indigestion).

But thank you for posting the HDD specs as I don't think they have been reported before.

...requires mandatory installation? Awesomecharted is now less awesome.

Kind of lame that it doesn't other upscaled resolutions.


With incredible amounts of chagrin, want to say that this HDD space is actually a printing error and it's most likely not what we're going to have on the final box, unless there's some crazy aligning of the planets.
that seems to be the HDD space figure for infamous

i don't know yet what the exact number is. sorry.

As long as it provides me with an unforgettable playing experience, take all the HDD space you need!

I just wish the co-op was in the main campaign. I hate it when games do this split mission bullshit. It just always seems like it'll either be halfassed or take away development from the main campaign.

I just want to play a kickass game with a pal though, really they could widen the corridors, double enemy health and damage and throw in a couple of double levers and I'd be so happy. :lol RE5 in co-op was some of the most fun I've had in ages and that's basically what it was.

Uncharted grew on me so much though, I really wound up loving it after about hating about 5-6 Naughty Dog games in a row so in the end it wont really matter, I'll buy it at a high price.

Also: bring on more mandatory installs, 1.7 isn't even big enough! Do more! Faster loading, less wear and tear on my drive please.

He was actually referring to Naughty Dog Engine 2.0 updates we made.
we had just been making sure at the event that all the PS3s brought in were on FW2.8 since that is what that build needed to run on, so I have no doubt it was top of mind

Thanks.

Can you confirm whether or not presence data will be in Uncharted 2?

I doubt it, but I personally don't really care. Though it would be nice for a simple 'Single-player/co-op/Multi-player' tag shown under their names so I at least know what they are playing inside of U2, map names and game modes are not needed imo.. either way it's no big deal, in-game custom music for the multiplayer however, is something I really want to see.. also doubtful about it though. :/

Not every game is suited for Co-op in the main campaign. Forcing co-op through Uncharted main campaign could completely ruin the balance and feel of the story. I would have much rather RE 5 went this route then forcing the co-op aspect. I like what Resistance 2 did with co-op and from what I experienced in the beta. Uncharted dose it right also.

Are you serious? In what way was RE5s co-op forced? The entire game was built around it.. im not saying I loved RE5 but come on..

You are forced to play with either an AI partner or a human partner.

I'm pretty sure that was the problem. It didn't feel like a RE game. It was still an "all right" game I just never got the feeling I was playing an resident evil game.

This is naughty dog though, and these are very small features that are easily implemented....

Yeah, I was thinking this after I watched the video. It makes sense.

Karl is the old guy, and Eric is the black dressed one?

There is no Eric Schafer. highluxury made a mistake (which he's now corrected). The "black dressed guy" is Tenzin.

Oh my god JMC, please instant-spoiler that stuff.

Yeah, right, sorry. I' had quite a few reply windows open and hit submit on the wrong one.

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. Yeah, you're right about Tenzin. We don't know the identity of Nate's buddy.

I dont know why but every time I see him I get reminded of Evan Wells.

Wait, what? There's a mandatory install for Uncharted 2? :(

No. Well, at least the 1.7GB figure is incorrect:

arne said:

I can't see Uncharted 2 having a mandatory install given how well ND's data fetching/streaming system worked with the original.

Thank god for mandatory install. Don't want them to compromise the quality of the game itself so I can save some harddrive space.

What so bad about install?
ND dont listen to the haters gibe me faster loading and less disc seeking or else my PS3 HDD is idling! some more streaming from disc is stressful for PS3 BR lens.

So Uncharted 2 will have an installation, we just don't know the size, right?
Looks like it's a cache that is built while you play like many PS games.
Not sure if it's an actual install you have to sit and wait for.

I hope not, especially after the first one had no install.

I won't mind as I have oodles of HDD space, just seems like a step back when you have a game that doesn't have an install, then one that does... But it's Uncharted, so I will deal wit it.
 
"Take it back! Take it back!" was my reaction to the boxart. Seriously Naughty Dog, get on that shit.

If I wanted to see deathly blue color processed film that made me want to kill myself, then I'd go watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of the Editing Room.

As long as an instillation is justified, like in an open world game or a game with no load times, then I am fine if it is 2-4 GBs.

Not directly at you (even though it kinda is) but speaking in general....why do these things matter? Why are we keeping score of stuff like this?
Who cares? Its a few mins to install....no biggie.

Are ppl really keeping track to bring this stuff up later? :|

Wohoo! Finally ordered my copy of Uncharted 1. Pretty late to the party, but I thought that it would be the best to play the first one before the second.

So I should be in for a real treat, right? I mean as a Uncharted virgin, two Uncharted games in such a small period :lol.

The story is a brilliant example of cliched happenings that wont bother you. Storytelling is very well written accompanied by a gallery of characters with very natural personalities.

The gameplay is fine too.

Maybe needed for MP? I could see that since it cant stream locations like SP does.

A delicious, scrumptious treat. Don't forget to post impressions (I'd say the official thread will do nicely as an outlet).
