So just beat the game on Hard. One of the best games I've played this gen definitely. Though I have to ask about the ending for those who have seen it.

Spoiler

Are clowns a 10 for anyone else?

:lol

Thank god for midnight launch.

Pick it up Tuesday at 12am
Play all night
Wake my wife up at 5am
Drive to airport
Fly to New York for a week with no uncharted

 

[Killthee]

Are there less stupid fucking barrels this time around?

Sort of. TNT Barrels are completely gone, but propane tanks are littered all over stages and some chapters also have a bunch of generators you can blow up.

 

[Bad_Boy]

So basically target, walmart, and blockbuster are my chances at getting the game early?

Spoiler

/me looks for his car keys... bbl

 

[CrushDance]

How am I being snarky? I can't get the game until December at the very least.

That's wonderful, now please stop with the random and off topic statements that you've littered the thread with. It's getting annoying. You didn't do this in the ODST thread.

 

[drakesfortune]

Do you guys think that in 5 years or so I'll be able to pick that dagger up on eBay for $10? Man I want that, and I normally hate every stupid pipboy type thing that comes with SE's or preorder bonuses, or prizes. Whatever you want to call them. I really want that dagger though. It may just be my inner Uncharted fanboy coming through though.

[dragonflys545]

JIZZZZZZZ!! I knew i was going to get this early. NY Jnl does it yet again I LOVE YOU!!!! . I saw like 10 reserved copy behind the counter. I think they sold out all the early copies already.

I doubt it, aren't there only 200 being made?

Just like my dream of owning a piece of the Aggro Crag from Nickelodeon's GUTS will never be realized. Sigh.

I understand this is not the appropriate thread nor the appropriate time to submit this idea, but I can't hold it.

I was thinking about how cool it would be to have a close combat system similar to the one employed in Batman: Arkham Asylum in an hypothetical Uncharted 3

Hold your horses.

I'm not talking about 1 vs 10 combat situations, with Drake flying around ninja style and stuff like that, but something a bit more "human", and yet as engaging as in Batman, with 1 vs 2 or 1 vs 3 combat situations that smoothly flow a la Batman: AA via a counter system and "context" based animations.

Dunno. Felt the need to toss this idea out there.

I always felt like ND's intention was to make the game feel as close to an Indiana Jones type experience as possible...so I guess that might be possible at some point. But if you think of the IJ movies, its more about him running and gunning or just fighting one big dude than taking on a whole swarm by himself. If he does take on 1 or 2, its usually something cleverly scripted that he uses that'll save his ass.

that WOULD be great. playing that game now (great) and i believe it would work perfectly in a game like uncharted

Uncharted has so many context based animations that I've also thought that it would be a good fit. I'd just be worried that there would be too much of a focus on the hand-to-hand combat, and when you have a gun and are in a firefight, it starts to become a little unbelievable that a fist-fight would be feasible or effective.



On another note, I think in Uncharted 3 they need to make the "get behind cover" and "somersault" actions be on two different buttons. This was a problem for me in Uncharted 1 and continues to be a problem in the multiplayer for 2. Sometimes I'm trying to roll to avoid gunfire, but I'll end up lunging towards a wall that was only vaguely in the direction I was trying to go, still being open to fire, and be unable to move until I unstick myself from the wall.

 

[Loudninja]

Wow me and a level 13 and 18 just kicked ass in Gold Rush,great game they did very well.

 

[Aladuf]

Probably old but midnight launch confirmed.
Check here: http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/6707/1/

Man now I don't know if I want to do the toys r us deal.

fuuuuuuuuck.

I have two Gamestops near me and the one I decided to preorder from is the one that doesn't have a midnight launch... welp, time to cancel my preorder at the one store that doesn't have it and go preorder it at the store that has the midnight launch.

If this game gets advertised on Pepsi cans, it'd be epic.

Aladuf what is up man! We haven't crossed threads in a while.

It sure has been a little while, I've been keeping my distance from this thread because I was trying to tone down how much Uncharted 2 stuff I've been taking in lately since I felt like I was seeing a bit too much, but with the game coming out in just a few days, I can barely resist looking anymore.

 

[polyh3dron]

Is there any other way we can get a hold of a Fortune Hunter Edition?

I know about 40 of them were given out in the tournaments, but that leaves 160 of them...

CRUSHING CRUSHED YEAHHH (also look at the credits, nice of Naughty Gods)

idunno but i just had someone bid $49.99 on my uncharted 2 "kitty got wet" t-shirt so I love people's inner Uncharted fanboys <3

Chapter 2 is frustrating at first. This game is visually and aurally owning my soul.

I love the banter between characters. Is this what Uncharted 1 was like?

Yeah, I know what you mean and I totally understand that. Still would be cool to have situations that allow that kind of combat to take place in a meaningful way. Even if just for, say, using a gun still being held by an enemy being combo'ed to shoot at a nearby attacker.

 

[vMaxx]

I've already finished the game twice.It is an amazing experience.In terms of graphics it is a marvel and an achievement.You will not believe what your eyes will see.Videos and photos do not make justice to this game.Also how about this game does not have jaggies???ND are todays best developers.

 

[The Librarian]

On my way home from five guys I think I saw some dude riding a bike with an Uncharted 2 t-shirt on.

 

[Stallion Free]

Thanks to BUNGIE?!?!?!?!?!

When companies are awesome they don't try to compete, they are friendly. I bet they totally swap copies of their latest games. I know an Infinity Ward guy was playing Uncharted 2 early. ND is cool that way.

Many first party games are basically jaggies free. Not just the latest like Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2, but also old games like MotorStorm and Warhawk.

Of course aliasing is not an issue when you know what you are doing with Cell and stuff.

There is a really nice detail that ND put there. When I threw the security guard off the building, I thought: "What? Didn't Drake just lecture Flynn on not killing any of the guards and yet Drake himself just threw one off the top of a tall building?" But then I noticed once the guard hit the water at the bottom, he started swimming back to land.

Well, I've realized a few things today while calling about for Uncharted 2,

1) I'm very patient. I actually waited for 20 minutes on hold to see if a certain store had it. They seem surprised I was still on the line when they picked the phone back up. Also, the big stores love to transfer you to another person all the time.

2) I don't talk very clearly or I have a speech impediment. It took several tries to explain what I wanted to a couple of different people. This adds to why I hate calling people.

3) Uncharted has to be great for me to call damn near every store that sells video games in my area to see if they have U2 in.

 

[The Librarian]

Well bleh to you too. I want the game too, but I can't get it until at least December. I'm participating in any discussion I can.

Thanks to BUNGIE?!?!?!?!?!

And Infinity Ward! That's awesome.

 

[Toki767]

Most people managed to get copies from the Uncharted 2 special event that took place Monday and I'm guessing Tuesday.

You know what this is

Whats the story on this box set?

 

[neojubei]

I think that's pretty awesome.

Halo 4 will use the uncharted 2 engine.

Was playing around with the snow and stuff for some reason last night, and I still have no idea why the GD review stated there were no footprints. There are, and they are really impressive. Drake's legs push through the snow and leave persistent prints everywhere. They don't even fade from what I've seen.

Some footage of it (no spoilers):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2U0y0CB23c

I should have finished the game by now... I'm spending way too much time searching for Treasure on my first run.

So....did GameDaily just get it horribly wrong?

In other news, UNCHARTED 2 is teaming up with Pepsi! Launching in November 2009, consumers in the West and Midwest regions will have a chance to win PS3 consoles, copies of UNCHARTED 2 and UNCHARTED motion comics through Pepsi promotions. More details to follow soon.

This is complete and utter bullshit, btw. Get your shit together Sony. The theater events and this disaster are exposing you.

Of course aliasing is not an issue when you know what you are doing with Cell and stuff.

But uncharted 1 was full of jaggies.Also warhawk and motorstorm may be jaggies free but they are far inferior to u2 in terms of graphics so the use the extra power to have a cleaner look.

Wait Uncharted and Pepsi? That's really odd considering Sony and Coca Cola's relationship and Microsoft and Pepsi's relationship. Did something happen?
