I said 'HOLY SHIT' twice and then promptly decided to post this before leaving the thread without looking at the rest of the media.

Things I said 'holy shit at'

the first screenshot
the first 'old versus new' comparison.

BYE GUYS, OMG UNCHARTED 3

holy shit, desert town screen. it's probably bullshot, but in 6-7 years when we get Uncharted remastered collection it'll look just like that :)


Honestly the game seems to just look like that. Their DOF seems to be one of the best in the industry.

WOW!! Uncharted 3 - just WOW! The demo I just played - better than Indy ever was!

I can't resist the hype!
 
Drake's animation library must have been massive by now after 3 games. do you guys think when ND decide to make a new ip, their animation will take a hit in variety compared to Drake? they would have to start animate the character from scratch.

I just noticed that you can see Drake push off the fence right as he starts to turn to fire at that guy.
Yeah, the immersion factor is going to be incredible in this game. This is what ND does best; small details like that.

Yeah there's a lot of contextual animation like that in the game, even during multiplayer.
 
Oh my gosh
that moment in the airplane video where the enemy dudes is hanging onto the net while shooting at drake
was sweet ass. it looks like the animation has gotten an extra polish as well... it looks much smoother than Uc2.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP
dynamic field cover while the plane is tipping!?!?
 
So this is a hype thread, right? Let me add something of my own to it:

I've made Uncharted themed Weather / Countdown-to-UC3 App for iOS.

It's free, and you can get it from here: http://bit.ly/ucweatherapp

It's a Weather app with current weather, forecasts, warnings, animations, retina gfx, and a few unique things of its own. It's very fast and functional, and yes, 100% dedicated to Uncharted with its theme, visuals, and obviously a countdown to UC3 release. Being a huge fan of these games myself, I can say that it makes even the rainy days a bit more bright when I look at it :) ND seemed to like it too!

The app offers the icon badge countdown that will update every day to show you how many days are left until the release (or you can change it to count down to anything you want really). Alternatively, badge can show the last measured temeprature.

Here are some screenshots. Each weather type has a few backgrounds that I've pieced together from edited screenshots of the three games, and when it's snowing or raining there are animations for rain, snow, thunder, snow accumulates on chest, etc.

Pretty awesome dude. Doesn't work for UK I'm guessing?

Seriously, that entire cargo video was fucking ridiculous and I couldn't believe it was playable until i saw the ammo counter on the screen. Big holy shit moment for me. And I don't care to do media blackouts on UC cause the game is gonna be jampacked with these types of moments anyway.
 
Help me understand something since im watching the reactions to the improvements for the characters in the cut scenes. None of the Uncharted cinemas are real time, so why Naughty Dog took so much time to improve them?

They're based off the real time engine, just with a few added lighting effects. So if the in game visuals improve, so do the cut scenes.
 
Not watching it ... no no no ... must resist....

But I skimmed through the posts and I am so excited because of the reactions from gaffers here :D

I'm aware that Naughty Dog use game assets in the cut scenes. However are you telling me that the skin textures and eyes will actually look like that for the in game models? Are you sure? If so its a fucking impressive improvement. Hope you are not wrong becuase now i would be disappointed other wise.
 
Oh my God at these character models. Less than a month! While fools be handing out candy, I'll be getting my Uncharted on.

You'll never see them that unclose in gameplay so it kinda doesn't matter. But yes, textures should be the same at least. Some of the shorter cutscenes are rendered fully realtime too, so they have to make sure things match up.
 
I'm soooooooooo proud of myself for not watching any media since the initial trailer - spoiled a lot of U2, so I can't wait to go in fresh for U3

All of the media shown is rehashed parts of the game they haven't shown us any new material for over a month and a half
 
Funny, the sand on Drake's hair makes him look blond...

Love the brutality of that melee move at 4'02 in the IGN video...^^
Can someone make a gif please?
