Don't you think they almost went out of their way to provide light-skinned enemies that you shoot at for the 2nd half of the game (those ex-military mercs). Or is just that them being Spaniards, even though caucasian, is somehow problematic? We know they are Spaniards because they speak with an accent. So what about MGS2 and MGS3 games then? Tons and tons of Russian soldiers with funny accents to dispose off, and yet no one moved a finger to complain about those. What makes Russians different than Spaniards in this context?somuchwater said:
Yeah, that's actually probably it :\StarEye said:
If its just in India that would be cool. I loved Unchartered and crave a sequel, so anywhere is fine for me; but I'd like to see Nate globe hop instead of one place. Caverns and Cliffs in Australia, Under water Caves off the gulf of Mexico, Ruins in Thailand, heck even hopping from building to building in New York.
i think an uncharted game would fit really well if it was in a city. it seems the uncharted franchise is really all about an actionmovie-esque experience and making a fastpaced game that takes place in a city would be cool. there could be treasure too cuz even that movie national treasure took place in cities.

ehhh???? Do you know anything about India...?
Its a country with incredible variety, culturally and environmentally. There is a huge amount of lush jungle in the game, as well as incredible mountains, ruins etc...
Its not as if they can't make shit up as well, the first games location was entirely fictional

And even i am moderately surprised
whut? middle east = desert?!?!
Anyways, given A. Creed's recent foray into that territory (and MGS at least partially) , it might not be a great idea to set the game there.
How about somewhere completely different for a change or at least somewhere we've not seen for a bit?
Iceland?
The Netherlands (lack of things to scale i guess!)
Countryside france!
Wales!
Phillippines
or... hell... tip the hat to the games baudy line and have you follow Sully out to Bangkok and then into Malaysia or something.

did uncharted sell well? i do hope so.

Why not Egypt?
I feel that Uncharted can be free to borrow as much from Bond/Bourne as they did from Indiana Jones in the first game. But having Drake in a populated city would require quite a different dynamic, how can he climb around or shoot without other people reacting to him? Setting in a well known city would limit somewhat the level design inevitably. Films like National Treasure always seemed way too farfetched for me and it will always seem to require some secret underground location where the game actually takes place.
Could it be "manmade" instead? As in made by Man. Or even... The Man. And who would The Man be??? That's the question.
Anyway...
...However, this reminds me, almost completely off-topically, that it isn't untapped in terms of science fiction, and knowing that there are quite a few sf lovers in here, and it's the weekend, I hereby recommend one of the most awesome sf books of the last few years... hell, of the last decade, set in a relatively near future India, called River of Gods, by Ian McDonald. Go read, while your consoles install something or whatever. Now.

That would be the beauty of it. Obviously you would try not to have too much sequences in Unchartered 2 in a city, such as New York, only where the storyline applies, but Nate being shot at by a powerful, controlling and wealthy millionaires henchmen in a populated city would be nice and frantic. By standers running around, screaming. Nate jumping through peoples apartment windows, fire escapes, daring ledge runs. Obviously a " New York " sequence would have to be mostly action gelled with platforming as Nate tries to escape.
Has anyone watched the movie B13? Basically what you would see jumpers doing around the city. That sort of thing with crazy running up stairs in apartments, shooting/fighting, run again, building trapezing, jumping, falls that would break a normal mans foot, hanging for overheads, through windows, or basically any mezzanine, and end it off with Nate making some awesome unholy cinematic jump off the highest building possible.
Then after that is finished, Nate can return to the remote areas. I don't fancy Egypt however, I could only see Nate in some buried Pyramid, too cliche for me.

OMG OMG OMG
I fucking LOVE UNCHARTED!!!!!

Seriously, I love Uncharted! Can´t wait to see the sequel!
Anyway I guess that means nothing on Uncharted 2, it´s only a hint to where they got inspiration for the first Uncharted. Looking at those pictures it gets obvious, there´s some areas in Uncharted that are EXACTLY like those pictures.

They need to have you fight against more fun enemies.
It has little appeal yet graphically its nice.
Anyway, this would be very Indiana Jones 2 if it was in India, that would be cool

Well how about a brawl in an apartment/restaurant/alley where there's no public attention?Timbuktu said:
A car chase would also work in a city setting or one could be cheesy with class and set the chase in Venice.
Perhaps actionless exploration in a museum/old church/abandoned toilet where one has to get hold of an object without attracting attention (Indy 3 library).
A night breaking would also work.
I think Uncharted could gain a lot from changes not only in pacing but also setting (it sure helps Bond and Indy).
BTW I'd love if they ripped the first chase Casino Royale.
