E3 can't come soon enough.

 

[Necronomikon]

This is one of those FEW games WORTH $60 this year... Can't wait!

 

[dragonflys545]

I am salivating over here.
I hate to say this but unless someone really objects I would love to do the OT for UC3.

OH hell YES!!!! FUKKK YESS DO IT!

 

[MetatronM]

I was underwhelmed by Uncharted, but Uncharted 2 was SO GOOD.


Massively hyped.

 

[jett]

All the information is relevant to my interests, but especially the talk about them expanding stealth. That stuff was just great to pull off in UC2.

yeah, replaying UC2, I was able to re do sections of the game completely in stealth

Amir0x will be upset by this

 

[indigo-cyclops]

To me the story in this one is the most compelling of the three. Iram is fascinating to read about.

 

[MalboroRed]

the box thing was impossible to get to work correctly. even the zero punctuation review complained about it a whole bunch: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1078-Uncharted-2-Among-Thieves

look at 2:10

Just press circle, wtf.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I don't think my body is capable of being ready for this.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Sounds excellent, especially the inclusion of London.

 

[Soulscribe]

I bought a PS3 for Uncharted 2, so there's nothing but HYPE on my end.

 

[MalboroRed]

Clone yourself so you can withstand the awesomeness.

 

[AAK]

More Uncharted games???

I really was hoping for a new ND Jak and Daxter PS3 game. Not something made by other developers.

 

[jett]

:lol at complaining about UC2's cover mechanics. ND nailed that shit, no idea what that zero punctuation guy is talking about.

Do not want.
I want my Nathan Drake!

 

[Jocchan]

- Drake's Deception will most likely not be his last outing; "The Uncharted franchise was never conceived as a trilogy"

UnKarted confirmed?

 

[Negaiido]

My body is ready and yours, ND!

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I'm afraid that the near universal praise of UC2 will keep ND from addressing problems that have plagued the series since the first game. I really hope they cut down on the waves of enemies; they began to seem like filler. Also, I wouldn't mind if they made the platforming and puzzles better. Oh, and bosses that aren't garbage. Despite my complaints, I'm still looking forward to seeing what they do with this third game, though.

 

[AAK]

Do not want.

I definitely want. Jak 2 and Jak 3 IMO had some of the best platforming scenario's seen on the PS2. It was amazing how you could seamlessly transition between your weapons, your hoverboard, and normal running. Made for some epic set pieces. I especially remember the level in Jak 3 where you had to make the follow the train and shoot the targets on the railings to pave the pathway for it to go. One of the few times in gaming where fast paced 3rd person shooting and intense platforming went hand in hand simultaneously. Sure Uncharted series outcast the Jak series with its spectacle and gorgeous colors, but from a gameplay perspective, Jak series is just way more impressive.

 

[Snuggles]

Sounds pretty nice.

As much as I enjoyed the great variety of awesome locations in Uncharted 2, I like the idea of one place being focused on for most of the game. Hopefully that's the case in 3, especially since it sounds like such an amazing and unique location for a game to take place.

give it to me now please

 

[Duffyside]

Oh, and bosses that aren't garbage.

I feel like the Lazarevic fight gets way too much hate. I liked it. Other than that though, the other boss fights in UC2 would be the Tank, which was great, and the Helicopter, which was AWESOME.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I feel like the Lazarevic fight gets way too much hate. I liked it. Other than that though, the other boss fights in UC2 would be the Tank, which was great, and the Helicopter, which was AWESOME.

What really stood out to me as completely horrible was that one random guy you fight in the train who inexplicably takes an entire magnum clip, multiple grenades, and an all-out melee assault to kill. I think he was Lazarevic's chief henchman or something.

Also, the helicopter and tank especially felt less like boss fights and more like a test of getting to an explosive device and aiming it correctly. They were certainly entertaining, but I never really thought of them as bosses in the traditional sense.

Lazarevich was terrible. It was one death away from ruining the entire game for me, like that cocksucker Radec in KZ2. Fortunately it didn't get to that.

But yeah, when talking about bosses people forget about the tank and the gunship, which are great.

 

[RoboPlato]

The details sound awesome. I'm not expecting a huge jump from Uncharted 2 but if they refine a few things it will still be an absolutely amazing experience. I'm trying not to search for the scans since I'm trying to stay on a media blackout but it's so hard not to look at Uncharted screens/footage. I did manage to avoid that cutscene from GDC, at least.

 

[Darkatomz]

The only real complaint about cover that I have is sliding into it. Still makes you a magnet for damage.

So did you think it was terrible because it was hard? Because I admit it was hard, but I still enjoyed it. I liked that it gave a reason for him to be able to take so many bullets, and I enjoyed that I didn't just have to point my gun at him to win the fight, but had to use the environment.

However, I must concede that I am clearly in the very small minority in thinking that boss fight was not terrible. Not entirely sure what's going to satisfy people though, if that didn't work. More tanks and choppers? That'll get tedious quick. Unless you just don't want any boos fights at all, I'm at a loss for what they can do if the supernatural elements are going to receive such hate.

I wasn't enjoying it, at all. I thought it was cheaply and stupidly designed. And after dying time and time again, you have to endure those forced scenes of the retard screaming at you, every single time, and frankly I felt like punching whoever thought of this bossfight really fucking hard in the face.

 

[Rewrite]

Details sound good to me!

I think the only thing that could be a concern is the bike tidbits, but if that section of the game is anything like the car section in UC2, it should be fine.

Now how about that beta?

 

[Stallion Free]

But yeah, when talking about bosses people forget about the tank and the gunship, which are great.

I think the fact that people forget they were bosses is part of what made them so much better. Their integration was much more natural and didn't cause people to stop and think, oh yeah well here is another boss *sigh*.

 

[Jtrizzy]

:lol at complaining about UC2's cover mechanics. ND nailed that shit, no idea what that zero punctuation guy is talking about.

For me, I'd like a toggle crouch. The cover system is fine, but I'd like to play the game at a slower pace. In U2, it felt like you could only stealth when the game wanted you to.

I loved going through the

I agree, he looked completely out of place.

So I'm hella excited for the game, but I'll be hella bummed when the inevitable happens and Sully dies

Y'know it's gonna happen.

 

[siarraweb]

now...

where are those scans from the magazine??

i want them! bad...!!

the magazine was supposed to have new pics..

Sounds Fantastic !

ND has become my Favorite team after Uncharted 2.... they have reached the level of "perfectionist" IMO.

[paperheart]

Uncharted 2 went down as one of the best games I have ever played in my life. This will probably be the same way. I'm ready for mirages and all that jazz. Give it to me ND, just give it to me good.

Lol! That's actually true! I resent the MGS4 comment though. You dastardly chaps

I'll never forgive you for MGS4, Bruce. It's entirely your fault that game was awful!

As bad as portions of that game are it immediately gets a pass for the nostalgia trip that is Shadow Moses just pretend the whole part with vamp and otacon and subsequent events was just bad fan fic

Lazarevich was awesome.

 

[Rikyfree]

I already have money down on this game. Just like 5$, but still!

 

[Rewrite]

Lazarevic was terrible. If there's one thing Naughty Dog has to improve on it's the lackluster final boss fights. They really should make the final boss fight like the tank sequence/helicopter fight in UC2, where they're engaging and intense. Make it more interactive and include great set pieces. The whole game has great action set pieces EXCEPT the final boss fights.

 

[Kingsora]

Are there any scans on the internet? Not asking a link, just want to know if there are any

 

[Facism]

BruceLeeroy OT?

YESSSSSSSS BABY. Fucking love your OTs, always filled with information without being a cheerleading shillfest Go for it my son

 

[AgentChris]

Looking forward to MP info and the presentation at E3.

I hope this game isn't a buggy mess like the last one. Not day one unless Amazon offers a 20$ credit.
