Uh isn't shooting like 90% of the game? It was in U2.

Some misguided souls have convinced themselves that Uncharted is an action/adventure game and not a shooter despite the lack of freedom, exploration, actual platforming, etc.

 

[thetechkid]

I need to intercept this package in Pheonix so that I can play this game right now!

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Just finish the chateau even thought i saw it still was awesome playing that part .

A game doesn't have to have freedom, exploration, or platforming to be called an adventure. Case in point, just about every P&C adventure. Adventure is a game that well, takes you on an adventure, and you do various things for the duration of it.

Besides, Action/Adventure is such a loose term that's used to describe a wide variety of games. Anything from extremely linear point and click games to wide open RPGs can fall under that category.

I have a feeling UC1 won't be topped.

I suggest just playing it again. I still like it a lot, but it just feels dated and much more formulaic compared to uc2. Also, everyone has shiny faces :/

 

[Loudninja]

Hey arne will the game have a day one patch?

 

[gdt]

I know I'll enjoy the game, but this still worries me.

I have a feeling UC1 won't be topped.

Bhahahahah.

 

[Wario64]

I don't care what people say about Uncharted 1, it'll always be special to me. It was the first must have game on PS3 imo and my first time experience with it was special.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Does anyone know if all the UPCs/SKUs are the same?

I'm thinking of running to walmart to pick this up at midnight, and playing tonight. Then tomorrow I plan to do the B2G1 at Target, and I could return said Target copy to Walmart using my first receipt.

Any clues?

Help please re: a puzzle. I'm somewhere around chapter 8-10.

How the hell do I get Nate to recognize the north star? I see where it is. I see where it's pointing. What do I do next?

Thanks!

Anything new about the cut-scene viewer? I read that they were considering patching it in, but has there been any news after that?

I liked UC2 more, but I feel the same way about Uncharted 1. It has a special place in my heart.

 

[Lord Error]

That's true, and I agree. But i was talking more from the perspective of someone playing it today for the first time, and comparing with what came after.

They have now said its not happening. Not now, and not later.

 

[Ricky_R]

Seriously? That sucks so much for me.

You sure they didn't mean the unlockables, cheats etc.?

 

[Rewrite]

The first one still has the best story, IMO. It felt like an adventure and mystery. Gameplay wise, 2 takes the crown. Story wise? UC1 is still my favorite.

 

[alr1ght]

Why does it take almost a full minute to login to check stats @ nd.com? Or hell, why do I have to log in at all (U2 didn't require it).

IIRC, I just pointed the telescope at the star and then a cutscene was triggered. I think you might have to press R1 when you have the crosshair lined up with the star but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Thunderbear]

I loved Uncharted 1 as well but Uncharted 2 was a far better game in all aspects in my opinion. It told a better story, the gameplay/controls were tighter, and the fully playable big moments were a lot more intense.

 

[Thunderbear]

I thought you could cut together clips in multiplayer and upload it to youtube or facebook?

I know they said that about the cheats.

Hell yeah still love UC1.

why bother check your stats at all. if they aren't fucked up yet they'll get fucked up soon enough. Mine displayed 20 hours of play time two weeks ago, 7 minutes last week and 9 hours today.

 

[Pranay]

I still need to play uc1 :\

 

[neojubei]

Hell yeah still love UC1.

Same here which reminds me i need to get it back from my friend.

 

[Ricky_R]

Where did they say this?

I knwo they said that about the cheats.

Yeah, that's what I figured as I made reference of that same post by Arne where he confirmed that cheats and stuff would not be patched in ever, but they were considering the cut-scene viewer.

 

[Lord Error]

Gunplay doesn't seem as fun anymore. Melee is forced upon the player and you can not stay in cover anymore

You say that as if it's a bad thing, but I think it's good, if the game is basically pushing/teaching you how to play it in the most fun way it allows for. Because mixing things up like that in Uncarted certainly beats just camping behind covers all the time.

If I had to wager a guess, I'd say they probably also did this to alleviate the complaints about Drake killing so many enemies - because putting someone out of comission with punches and kicks is not going to kill them. It's the preferred way of fighting in the Indy movies, probably for the same reason.

 

[Provider]

I thought the game was in the steelbook case, or did you get another copy?

They gave me the game in the regular box and pit the tin case inside the artifact box

 

[JaseMath]

So...UC 3>2>1 or 2>3>1?

 

[zero margin]

I'm going to be an idiot and play when I get home *_*

I think that's why you go to midnight launches!

 

[Wario64]

So...UC 3>2>1 or 2>3>1?

1=2=3 because I can play either one and still say it's awesome

 

[legbone]

damn, i can't believe my local gamestop isn't doing a midnight launch. i just spoke with the manager and she said they only had eight preorders. strange. does anyone know if walmart is selling the collector's edition. i just called and the girl at wally world said i could come in at midnight and get the game out of the back if it wasn't on the shelf yet (she pretty much stated it would not be on the shelf at midnight). she had no idea if they were selling the collector's edition or not and refused to look it up or go look. nice customer service btw. anyway, anyone know if they are selling the collector's edition?

 

[kx11]

i think the chapters after chapter 15 put UC2 to shame , the action is so freakin' intense you don't wanna hunt treasures

Wet clothes dude. I must have played the demo 25 times. I still think the flow of the story in DF was unmatched in any release since. Great pacing and lead up to the plot points just a great great adventure game.

UC1's U-boat sequence, from reveal to

Spoiler

CAPTAIN

to escape is still one of my favourite moments of the generation.

But I have room in my heart for UC2 and UC3 as well.

 

[Wario64]

I love the XMB music they chose for Uncharted 3. It's beautiful.

 

[Lord Error]

Yeah, everything about and around u boat is so great. Beautiful location, maybe the best looking in the whole game, and it has some clever camera angles. Then at the end of it all, short but great scene with Elena

 

[Square Triangle]

So I'm not the only one who gets geeked over what the developers do with the XMB disc icon?

Waking up early to pick the Uncharted 3 CE at the Sony Store on Madison Ave. I am excite!

 

[Represent.]

Im actually surprised at the amount of people in this midnight line up. Id say about 80 people.

 

[crimzonflame]

1=2=3 because I can play either one and still say it's awesome

3=2>>1. I dont think I can ever play 1 ever again.

UC1 has a very special place in my heart. UC2's globetrotting was fantastic, but the homey, intimate feeling I had with the island by the end of the game was something I don't usually experience in games.

 

[Lord Error]

Im actually surprised at the amount of people in this midnight line up. Id say about 80 people.

I'm surprised how many gamestops in Canada ate open at midnight for this. It almost never happens for a ps3 game here. Usually it means they have enough preorders to do it. The one closest to me isn't open though :/

 

[Auto_aim1]

Up to Chapter 10 on Crushing. I think I died more during Hard.

You know the gameplay mechanics well now, so Crushing won't be that difficult. I really don't know whether to start on normal or hard. :\
