Modern big cities. I'd really like that. That one sequence in Tomb Raider Legend was great.
I like the array of areas shown in the Uncharted 3 trailer. The trailer for Uncharted GA has been Uncharted 1 territory. Catacombs, jungles and the like. It was cool to have a cohesive setting in the first game, but I appreciate a globe trotting adventure more. Seems to be the former here.

Amazing seeing these screenshots coming from a handheld.
Eh, that's a little simplified. This jungle does look quite same-y to me too. You could do an African plains landscape. Or a swamp. Or some sort of Australian outback setting. Or another snow setting but this time instead of up a mountain it be a landscape with towering, skinny trees all around you. I mean, there is some variety to be had here, and I do worry that I may have seen this environment, portrayed in this way, one too many times with how much I've played Uncharted 1 (replaying it right this moment, actually).StuBurns said:

I think it has less to do with globe-trotting versus one cohesive setting for me so much as it has to do with using THE SAME setting.Linkzg said:

Are my eyes deceiving me? How can that be on the Vita? I can't wait to get my slimy hands on a Vita.
Hopefully new environments are shown at TGS.

yeah, I agree. But Uncharted 2 had a jungle setting too. All I'm saying is of what has been shown thus far, I'd prefer the Jungle to be a location instead of the location.
If they went with something different and made that the sole setting, I'd prefer that too over another jungle setting.

I'm sure you'll spend only a portion of the game actually traversing actual jungle, just like UC1. That had a cathedral, a sunken city, various ruins and underground catacombs, a Spanish fortress, a submarine, an underground bunker, etc. The important thing is what there will be to discover in this new jungle.

Fucking hell. This is a launch title. I don't think I can come up with a good reason to not get a Vita at some point in its life. First time ever I would be a dual handheld owner.

Why does everyone call Uncharted 2 some globe-trotting adventure?
It actually follows a similar path to Uncharted 1 in that you play through two minor locations before getting to the main one
UC1:
Boat -> jungle environment with Sully -> second island where you seamlessly progress through the rest of the environments (eg temples, caves, rivers, submarine etc.)
UC2
Museum -> jungle environment with Sully -> Nepal and then seamless progression through the rest of the environments (eg snow, temples, village etc.)

Just watching that in regards to the location discussion. It may be nothing but around the 30 second mark when Nate meets Marissa they are in a jungle location, probably the jungle we've seen so far. However immediately afterwards ~37 seconds in she and Drake are in a library of some sorts. Unless they are pulling a Chloe in UC2 and Nate and Marissa are just pretending not to know each other, chronologically the library stuff would have to follow after the jungle and could precede a change of location.

A question: Is there middleware/engines available to let a developer that cannot spend two years making a portable game create truly compelling visuals?

Insane For Sony
Lighting and texture detail seems a lot better than what I remember from some earlier screens of that location. Lighting looks very nice and diffuse.
THere's UE3, but if you suck at making compelling visuals there's really no engine that can make you unsuck.outunderthestars said:

The point is not to downport aaa games, but to make new spin off titles like golden abyys, imagine new bioshock, assassin creed, or dead space for vita, they can reuse some asset from console game, but offer new story and character, there will be enough incentive for fans of the series to be excited for it.hey_it's_that_dog said:

As a prequel, I'm perfectly fine with it being a simple, single-ish location. I hate when prequels come out and end up being some grander story of adventure than the original when in the original, it seems like this shit happening is the craziest shit that's ever happened to them in their lives.

If ND was making it, it would look better than UC1 on PS3, but still, Bend is doing a pretty nice job, here's hope that they will get to do a Syphon Filter game on the Vita as well.

Its just the overall arc, it doesn't seem similar cause Naughty Dog are smart enough to have totally different pacing and more natural variety offered in Nepal than a South American islandRaonak said:wheres that gif of nathan fillion trying to say something, but failing to get the words.
EDIT:

very sound point. never relised the similarities in terms of progression.
I'm trying not to follow UC3 too closely but from what I've seen in snippets I wouldn't be surprised if the flow of the story went
Ship -> European city with Sully -> desert city, desert, temples etc. for the main portion

Vita development is easier than PSP and much easier than PS3. They'd probably save a lot just on programming problems.CrankyKong said:
They also might save some money on the cheaper dev kits

That's kind of what I'm afraid of. It's absolutely amazing as a technical showcase, but I'm not really convinced that we'll get a lengthy game as is befitting of the UC franchise. My guess is probably 6-7 hours, which is pretty good. And I'm not sure if MP will seal the deal for me since I could just play UC3 on my plasma.

Previous bend games actually have good length and content, not only that, they have good reason to replay the game for hidden items, rank, challenges to use different weapons etc. ready at dawns' god of war gamea are the one which lackung content and unlockablesDynamite Ringo Matsuri said:

What amazes me the most is the fact that this is a launch game. Imagine what devs are going to do with the Vita in five years. :O
