1UP Cover Story- Uncharted 2

1UP: And you guys are doing a demo, correct?

EW: We have the multiplayer demo starting on September 15 as a two-week exclusive with GameStop initially. So that takes us to the end of September, and then the next two weeks leading up to our launch date -- October 13 -- it will be open to everybody.

I want it now!
 
The resume amused me, and the screenshots look great (as usual), but when I read there'd be a profile on Drake today, I was hoping for some personal history. He's one of my favourite characters, but we know next to nothing about him, where he's from, his age, anything.

We'll more than likely find out more about his past in Uncharted 2. He seems to have a history with Chloe.
 
Uncharted 2Â’s revenge attribute detailed
The revenge attribute in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is eerily similar to the martyrdom perk in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. You automatically drop a live grenade when you die in multiplayer. The grenade will then explode in about three seconds and kill any enemy nearby it.

Hell people were doing this all the time without this perk in the beta.

Even though that is a total noob perk, I really hope it's not an extra grenade on top of the ones you already have. There was enough grenade spam already in the beta.
 
WOW at those screenies! Especially the last one of the 720p bunch on the first page. You can clearly see the hairline on the back of his neck! And yeah, bearded Drake is boss. Hope you actually get to play him like that at some point.

You know the screen shots are OK, but for some reason uncharted never looks that great in stills. The videos are absolutely unbelievable, some of the best visuals of any game, But the screens do no justice.

Yep, seems true for the games with an above average amount of dynamic systems at work (lighting, physics, animation etc).

I still think these shots are pretty freakin' good though. The diffused and occluded lighting in that snowy cliff shot makes the 'set' look incredibly anchored. Not "photorealistic" exactly but very believable within the style.
 
I just love looking at screenshots of this game, and those three new ones are awesome, especially the first screen. :D Not too sure about the Revenge Attribute being the grenade drop thing after you die in a match. I can deal with it, though.
 
Can't wait. Only two months.
October is gonna be packed with this, Ratchet and Borderlands. Wish one of them was releasing at the beginning of October though...

I think that Uncharted 2 only has one real competitor for GOTY this holiday: Modern Warfare 2.

Realistically MW2 is just a bunch of hype, it's going to be an awesome game but really, it's over-hyped to hell. Funny thing is Uncharted 1 and CoD4 were both in my top 3-5 GOTY titles of 07. I'm sure it'll be the same this year as well. :D
 
Can't wait to see everyone's reaction to the new Uncharted 2 footage because it's shit hot. Although if you're one of those hyper sticklers for spoilers you might want to stop the video before the last 5 seconds. Consider yourself warned.

Yay! Can't wait. Will definitely avoid the last bit though. I don't want to spoil to much :)

Thanks for te advise, I'm one of those that want to be surprised at maximun when they play the game for the first time.

At least, this game deserves it

I'll not watch it at all then. I can hold my load for another 2 months.

...AHH! Who am I kidding, I'll probably watch the whole damn thing the second it's posted.

Scribblenauts and Uncharted 2 demo on the same day?!!!
I am going to be in Heaven. :O
 
Grenades - trust me, no grenade spam anymore.
Revenge - you HAVE to have a grenade in your inventory for this work. so you have to plan ahead ;)

ps. no complaining until you've tried it!

This x999, seriously it gets annoying. Great thing that a grenade doesn't just appear out of your ass, I never got that in CoD4.. I'm usually out of grenades by the time I die anyway, throw those things and miss too much. :lol

well, it's really a response because people just assume we've done something and not really considered how it works, how to balance for/against it, etc. We don't just slap stuff into the game at a whim folks!

Really? Kind of curious how you guys fixed that.
I mean, in the beta, it was one of the most sure things you could do to get easy kills. So, if you guys fixed that, I'm am incredibly happy. The constant raining of grenades did take a little enjoyment out of the game.
 
oh my god, somebody give the animators a fucking pay-rise

I just watched the analysis video.

Is the screen tear completely gone now? I didn't see any at all.

Evan talked about that on episode 100 of Podcast Beyond. He said they got an idea from Guerrilla via Insomniac about how to get rid of tearing in the game.

It is gone...B3D has attempted the explanation of how they've done it.

Yep, that too.
 
Looks great - but I'm spoiling it for myself :P Animation is amazing.

Funny that that guy gets one bullet and he's down, but Drake absorbs hundreds and regenerates :P
