White Among Thieves is not exclusively snowbound its frosty vistas have give the game's technical team a lot to think about. " Ice and snow are hard to render,"says Ruppel. "We've finally got it to the point in-game where it works the way we like it, and the light shines through them silghtly,making them glow from within. ice shouldn't just look like blue-painted concrete." Hennig adds that snow and ice will serve the same purpose in the sequel that water did in the first game. "it's not old-school game design where the ice level is all about slipping around. It's more thematic, to make sense of the environments."

Yeah pretty much I think they were pretty skeptical of LBP in their previews and ended up giving it GOTY?, and there's no new images in there, it's pretty much the same images here.

“It’s boiling down those elements that will work well in the game,” suggests Straley. “Every game has the challenge of trying to make an interactive experience, so there’s certain things that lend themselves to cinematic action and things that don’t. It’s choosing your battles. It’s a lot to do with pacing – ebb and flow – it’s not all go-go-go, it’s going to have character points, and sad moments to go with the action. If something’s happening, it’s you reacting to it. For example, we have the technology to allow an entire building to collapse while you’re in it – and we can throw enemies in at the same time while that’s happening. You’re playing everything this time, not just the easy bits.”

“You don’t see films where it’s all shooting,” chimes in Hennig. “You see heroes creep up and slam someone into a wall. In the first game, you occasionally felt there was only one way to do things. In other games, stealth is always defensive – someone spots you sneaking past them, and it’s all over. We wanted to put you on the offensive for once: stealth or shooting – both choices are valid at any time.”

Damn, they really have a knack for saying all the right things. I'm so pumped.

I don't see what's so negative about the preview. I found it to be a very enjoyable read and I'm more excited than ever for this game.

IIRC, they were pretty consistently glowing in their LBP previews.

I didn't think the Uncharted2 preview came off as negative, though. They tend not to sway one way or the other too much on early previews unless something really jumps out at them positively or negatively (in LBP's case, they had it marked as a PS3 crown-jewel from day one, however..but it was very obviously extraordinary from the outset ;)).

They gushed over LBP from the start. Interestingly they were supposed to be the ones that got the exclusive on the original Uncharted (the hint in their magazine was a paw print). But in the next issue they ended up previewing LBP instead while GI got the Uncharted exclusive.

I don't think that preview sounded negative at all? If anything, it pointed out that some problems from the first game seem to be successfully addressed in this one.

Gamesradar I believe?


That Edge preview sounds very positive to be. Their spotlighting of the integration between the shooting and platforming sounds fantastic. They're completely correct in pointing out that this was an aspect not fully fleshed out in the first as well as the game mechanic that may truly distinguish the game. Plus the stealth mechanic sounds great, an optional approach to combat.

I hope we get more 'organic' environments than what has been shown so far.

Looks great, but I don't really prefer the setting they've shown off. Looks too much like Gears of War's 'destroyed beauty' theme.

Well that's only Nepal. The game starts off in a green lush swamp, takes u to a burried village in the mountains, you'll get on top of a train before u crash into the snowfield. Lot's of locations this time around.

Uncharted 2 AI details surface

Uncharted 2 game director Bruce Straley has revealed that the hotly anticipated adventure sequel will incorporate two all-new AI behaviour patterns as a result of the games inclusion of stealth-action elements.

"As a result of expanding our gameplay to account for action-stealth, there are two new behaviours added to enemies, 'investigate' and 'hunt,'" Straley told CVG.

“With 'investigate' the enemies have peripheral vision just like humans. When Drake enters this peripheral vision the enemies will look over in the direction they think they saw him in and depending on how long he was in this vision cone, they may just look or they may walk over and check out what they think they saw.”

"With the 'hunt' behaviour the enemies have already spotted Drake and are in combat with him. While in combat the enemies make certain assumptions on where Drake is based on his last known location,” he explained.

Straley added that Drake’s foes will search tenaciously for our hero should they manage to lose eye contact with him, widening their search as they go.

"If they lose eye contact with Drake for a few seconds, one or more enemies will start hunting around the area, starting with his last known location, and then spread their search out if he's not found."

Furthermore, the game’s enemies are just as nimble as Drake, possessing the ability to climb up ledges and leap across gaps in order to locate his whereabouts – a feature that in turn allows for a much more varied game environment.

Said Straley: "If they are to hunt for Drake they'll need the ability to climb on the environment, jump across gaps, and drop down from ledges to get to him. The benefit to this was our combat wasn't limited to flat terrain anymore."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this is going to help make Uncharted really stand out even more as its own game. Not only that, but this ought to allow for some set pieces we've never seen before in gaming, especially if enemies can also shoot while hanging and whatnot.

I wonder how much freedom they're going to give enemies to traverse their environment..or if they'll be scripted not to go to certain areas etc. I suppose it has to be the latter, but I hope it surprises in terms of how far enemies will go to find you, and mess with your notions of where is safe and where isn't.
