New Uncharted 2 INFO-- GI

beast786 · 03:34 AM

maddoggnick96 on Gamefaqs.com has posted some info from the new GI magazine:

- The biggest thing in the article IMO is that there's a new girl named Chloe Frazer. GI asked about Elena and Sully's return but they had no comment.
- The story is about looking for the ships that Marco Polo "lost" while returning home to Italy.
- Melee combat is more dynamic now.
- They mentioned they were using only 30% of the PS3's power with Drake's Fortune and are planning to use nearly 100% with Among Thieves.
- A demo was shown to GI with Drake going through a city (I believe in Nepal), and he's stealthily taking out guards and escaping the city.
- Nolan North returns to be Drake and Chloe Frazer is played by Claudia Black (Stargate SG-1, Fargate).
- The Sixaxis mechanics were ditched for such things as throwing grenades.
- One of the weapons revealed is a rocket launcher that Chloe uses (might only be for the cinematic).
- There are no load screens.
- The score is being composed by Greg Edmonson (same guy from the first one).
- Weapons can be used in any stance (running, behind cover, hanging, climbing a wall, etc.).
- You can now move while aiming behind cover.

"In Uncharted 2, every character fully interacts with the dynamic geometry moving around them, and environments in the background are real parts of the game world"

"If Drake's on top of a train, he's going to be shaking with the train as it moves around"
"As he gets inside, his moveset is going to change, and he's going to be a lot more secure because the wind's not blowing."

- The graphics look better than Uncharted 1.
- Button sequence cinematics such as the final boss have changed so now Drake is now fully controllable in these parts...I think (This one's also hard to describe).
- Climbing seems improved upon. You can climb lamp posts now among other new things.
- If there is an enemy patrolling a rooftop you're climbing a wall to, you can pull him off the roof while hanging on the wall.

Good to hear! But, no load screens = probably installation :(

If what I seen is anything to go by, the game will look incredible. I can't wait see it in motion.

And? That's why PS3's ship with HDDs in the box. Or do like I did and upgrade dirt cheap for a bigger HDD.

True, but an install would be welcome if it's going to help them.

The best part of the new info is: no mention of a multiplayer mode.

I want this game so freaking bad.

Well, installations don't bother me that much, but I kinda dislike the "MGS-4" installation-like ...

More than likely but look at KZ2. If that using only 60% of the SPU's then Uncharted will look stunning. I don't believe the 100% claim though.

Also, they're probably referring to physics and other CPU intensive activities that may take it much further than KZ2 did.

I totally agree there and would think ND would go the route they took with the first game.

That is fantastic news, he did a amazing job with the first game score.

Uncharted had no loading and no installs so GO PLAY UNCHARTED!!!!

NeoZylom · (12-11-2008, 03:43 AM)

About the %, Guerilla said they were using 60% of the SPU (If I remember well)... So I don't think Naughty Dog will use 100% ...

With Uncharted 3 in 2011, they'll use 200% of PS3's power.

RavenFox · (12-11-2008, 03:44 AM)

Yes we all know the magical 100percenta is not going to be reached but Im sure the dev diarys that will come will elaborate more on this.

Nice Naughty Dog, this is what I want. Animations and how characters react in a dynamic environment, including AI, is the big step we need to take because all the fancy graphics are not worth much if nothing moves really convincingly. *thumbsup*!

LIES

That is from the Jim Jagger reel, which was Splinter Cell animations.

Prine · (12-11-2008, 03:44 AM)

I didnt like the plastic look of everything in Uncharted, i hope they tone that down.

One thing that stood out for me is when Drake says what your thinking, combining his and your thoughts was a stroke of genius (first time i've seen this in a game), perfect way to get you into the mood. Especially when a grenade lands near you and your like "Oh shit", then Drakes shouts "OH SHIT!"

Very polished game.

Yea might need a 32X like add-on to play it!!! Maybe a Ram card???

Madman · (12-11-2008, 03:46 AM)

Just cut out that percentage comment. Otherwise, the thread will continue the way it started.

Game sounds awesome.

Ok can the 30 to 100% trolls GTFO? Yes we all know you can read and we can read also.

Don't trust this guy, the part about pulling people off ledges is from the Jim Jagger reel, which was Splinter Cell animations.

Elena and Sully better be in the game.

I'm confused.
So the issue of Game Informer was incorrect in their reporting, or the OP (or his source) is full of shit?

Maybe some of it fake? But that "pull people off ledges" thing is probably 100% fake, as well as the "climb lamp posts" thing.

Wait till someone here gets the magazine.
