Honestly the screenshots look completely generic.

Do you think Uncharted looks generic?

 

[SolidSnakex]

So entirely new adventure set before DF, then? No Elena then

I wonder if there will be anything supernatural in this game... it seemed like DF was Drake's first encounter with it... but maybe not.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Drake was the only series regular that's in this game.

 

[BigTnaples]

This will look so freaking amazing on the OLED display.

New Uncharted gameplay

SHIEEEET, someone do me in the back.

When he fricken dragged his finger across the screen and Drake followed, I was sold. This is flat out amazing. I need to get the Vita somehow, cause omg...

 

[Bad_Boy]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Drake was the only series regular that's in this game.

They mentioned sully will be in the game. Other than that, who knows. I'm expecting the evil lady in uncharted 3 to make an appearance.

 

[iratA]

Yep this looks good. Hype rising indeed.

 

[Don]

That footage is great looking.

I would love to see Eddy Raja show up somehow.

 

[TheExecutive]

It's a stand-alone adventure, but it takes place before DF, but they say it's not a prequel? If it takes place before DF, it's a prequel, no? Is it canon or are they splitting off the universe or are they just saying "Whatever, up to you."

I believe they are not calling it a prequel because it doesnt lead into Drakes Fortune.

The good thing about this IP is that you can use a 1000 different scenarios without them interrelating to a huge degree and still have a great stand alone game.

 

[staticneuron]

Using the touchscreen to zoom in on the sniper rifle is a nice touch. I can't way to get my hands on the NGP and the new uncharted.

I would love to see Eddy Raja show up somehow.

I like the way you think. That would be a perfect tip of the hat to the original because it seemed as if the two had some history we were unaware of.

I'm a believer!!

This is a very impressive handheld. If in the 300 dollar range, day one.

YES PLZ

Best Uncharted character ever.

 

[ymmv]

Killer app.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Victor Goddamn Sullivan might show up... keep the faith!

 

[Kaako]

Wow, footage looked really good.

 

[Kuran]

Honestly the screenshots look completely generic.

Wow.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I was already sold but seeing it in action on the PS Blog. Wow. Epic materialized.

 

[Apath]

Wow.

You get people of all sorts around here -- there's always one.

Visuals blew me away. I expected them to be good, but that looks pretty damn close to Drake's Fortune. I could only imagine how much better it'll look on a 5" OLED screen as opposed to blown up on my 13" Macbook LCD screen. If this comes at launch, just re-confirms that I'll be getting this and Wipeout Day 1 with the system.

 

[thetrin]

Sounds like the typical PSP spin-off trend all over again.

I agree. As cool as this game looks, it looks like Sony learned nothing.

 

[Trick_GSF]

Man boobs?

He has been at the donuts again.

 

[nelsonroyale]

That was more than a couple polygons ago, and I seem to remember that being a great game. Uncharted plays itself compared to the first TR.

No...it bored the hell out of me... Weak shooting, boring narrative, "sex symbol" heroine and all

 

[TrojanBlade]

WOW...That looked insane

$299 and I am there day 1

oh and Dark Souls port please!!!!!

 

[Tucah]

This is the reason I'm buying a Vita/NGP day one.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

if this is the future of handheld gaming, I want in

 

[SolidSnakex]

oh and Dark Souls port please!!!!!

"I like the platform. It's very attractive," he told Eurogamer during a recent interview.

"We're not considering it right now but there's always a chance. There's always a sense that I'd like to try and do something on that platform."

"If we were going to port [the series] to the NGP, I would probably redesign it so it fits the handheld," Miyazaki confirmed. "It won't be a straight port, if we do happen to do it."

[Apath]

I agree. As cool as this game looks, it looks like Sony learned nothing.

Sony releasing quality "console"-like titles does not show they learned nothing. It's no different than Nintendo releasing Ocarina of Time or Mario Kart on the DS. What matters is if they make ground-up experiences for the handheld that can only be done on the handheld. It's not one or the other like everyone makes it out to be.

 

[The Lamp]

I really hope the game doesn't just try to be Uncharted PS3...ported to a portable. I hope it takes real, innovative, and unique advantage of the NGP's touchpad, camera, and motion controls, as well as the fact that it's a portable. But not just in a tacky, gimmicky fashion that makes you wish you were playing it on a console. I'd prefer it if they made the pacing appropriate for a portable...something you'd take with you and want to play in bursts, and not in marathon sessions...because I just can't seem to focus on uber long cutscenes and things of that nature when I'm playing on the go, as opposed to when I'm sitting on my couch at home. Just..you know, try to make a unique and interesting portable Uncharted game and not just Uncharted PS3 on a smaller screen.

 

[jump_button]

Get Monster Hunter Vita to look like this and we have a winner, they still need to not just have ports and spin offs

 

[fuzzyreactor]

the touch screen features look awesome. more excited for this than Uncharted 3

Here, I got something I'd like you to see: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/02/ngp-previews-let’s-talk-games-starting-with-uncharted/

 

[Wandering Leopard]

I agree. As cool as this game looks, it looks like Sony learned nothing.

So you're making that judgement based on the entire launch line up?
If so i'm struggling to understand how you can make that claim.

Whoa...that looks really great so far...hopefully they keep it up with the neat ideas.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

My first thought is that controlling Drake by dragging on the screen actually disconnects you from the character far more than using a stick or a d-pad. This sounds like forced Sixaxis functionality all over again.

My second thought is that I don't want great looking, console-style games that I'd actually want to play relegated to a goddamn handheld.

 

[TripOpt55]

Looks great. I can't wait for this and the NGP in general.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

Looks great.

I'm still waiting for an Uncharted 2.5D sidescroller in the vein of Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure for PSN.

 

[JCreasy]

My second thought is that I don't want great looking, console-style games that I'd actually want to play relegated to a goddamn handheld.

I hope they use the platform to tell more side stories with secondary characters we've come to love. I think the Daxter game was the greatest example of this.

I think it would have been pure genius if Golden Abyss was centered on Eddy Raja as the main character. They could've told his back story as a mercenary/pirate. Maybe we could find out something cool about him, like he once served with the Gurkhas before becoming a mercenary or something like that.

Even more genius? If they pulled an MGS2 and SWITCHED to Eddy Raja as the main character after Drake gets captured in an introduction or something like that.

They should experiment with story content more on the PS Vita, tell cool stories that the main series doesn't have time to tell. Explore cool characters with cult followings. Stuff like that.

 

[Ken Masters]

a killer app on a handheld? been a long time

 

[beast786]

Price is the only question for me.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

I like good games.

If thats the case, maybe you should consider iPhone gaming, I heard those games are perfect small games for handheld gaming. It would be a waste to buy a beast like NGP for the types of games you are looking for.

You can always put a Waxy film on top of the screen. It will make it less good looking.

problem solved.

 

[Bowdz]

For a first gen NGP title, it looks mindblowingly good. If Sony keeps quality teams like Bend and Ready at Dawn developing for the NGP, than I cannot imagine the visuals a few years down the road.

 

[jett]

How is the screen going to deal with smears and shit?

All I said was that I want to play console experiences and not being able to play them on a console is a downer. That does not at all imply I want to play handheld games of any kind.

[kyo_daikun]

We first spoke with John Garvin and Chris Reese of Sony Bend Studio, who are developing the highest profile launch title, UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss

Well, NGP is day one then for me, damn you Sony...

Wash your hands son.
