Imo, Uncharted is to Uncharted 2 what Batman Begins is to The Dark Knight.

Uncharted 2 is bigger, more sweeping, and infinitely more inspired, but the first had to exist for Uncharted 2 to happen.

Except Batman Begins is better than the Dark Knight and Uncharted 2 fucking blows Uncharted 1 away.

I hate to say it, but I agree with the first part. Will find out about the second soon.

[Rengoku]

Anyone hear of any Canadian midnight launches happening?

Gamerama I believe is opening midnight for Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend

Don't wanna derail the thread, but...:lol . A thousand NO's.

We can take this to the OP otherwise.

OT, I pick-up my copy tomorrow, and cannot fucking wait.

 

[TheBrain76]

Damn! No midnight launches near me and the beta is gone. GAH!

 

[IronFistedChampion]

Midnight launch in my area, but can't go because I have to wake up @ 5AM tomorrow. :|

I watched Batman Begins straight after watching The Dark Knight. It's not as good. Great movie, but not as good. At least Bale was superior in the first film.

lol

I thought the beta was going down at midnight tonight. Oh well, just another day left.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Man, bad thread derail. Sorry!

Spoiler

without Heath Ledger, Dark Knight is pretty meh

2 things:

1) Is there anyway to switch shoulders and keep it switched until you hit it again?
2) Man the treasures in SP are HARD TO FIND! Especially compared to Uncharted 1 where they were just lying around.

Guardian Uncharted 2 Review 5/5

The result is truly epic, especially when you take into account the incredible graphics and fantastically intricate levels. And then there are the epic set-piece missions in which, seemingly, Drake's entire surroundings are blown to shreds yet, somehow, he always scrambles to safety.

Uncharted 2 provides the perfect means of reducing any remaining throwbacks who still insist on maintaining that games are mindless to embarrassed speechlessness – if you know any Daily Mail readers, you should make showing it to them your mission. And, of course, if you own a PS3, you're going to buy a copy – it goes without saying.

Thread derail but:

1st half of Batman Begins>Dark Knight>2nd half of Batman Begins.

 

[mr_nothin]

Except Batman Begins is better than the Dark Knight and Uncharted 2 fucking blows Uncharted 1 away.

Batman Begins was horrible. It jumped around so much and I could barely tell what was even going on. It felt like a synopsis rather than a movie. It felt like a long ass trailer for The Dark Knight.

 

[Killthee]

The "Pump" (

Air Hump

[BattleMonkey]

Midnight launches are tonight? Gamestop just texted me that I can pick it up Tuesday AM. Guess they ain't doing one at my shop.

Yeah, tonight. Against my best judgement I am going to be in attendance and probably won't sleep at all tonight.

Stupid question bout how do you do Taunts in MP?

Also.. I never realised you could R2 to reload.. I've always been hitting down on d-pad.

[Gouty]

I come in here hoping to hear impressions from the lucky few that got it early and instead I get a Batman debate. Leave it the fuck alone gaf.

What were you confused about? I thought it was a much better movie myself.

Calm down. There's 30+ pages of impressions.

Thanks for the taunt info guys.

So which one do you like better Jr.?

No one cares for Game Informer, but their review is up.

http://gameinformer.com/games/uncharted_2_among_thieves/b/ps3/archive/2009/10/12/review.aspx



Score: 10. Second opinion is a 10 as well.

Hur hur killer app hur hur.

That was a good review.

 

[crimzonflame]

Thread derail but:

1st half of Batman Begins>Dark Knight>2nd half of Batman Begins.

+1.

Back to the topic, I got the game yesterday and having one hell of a time. Im not that far into the game but its very very fun. I mildy enjoyed the first Uncharted but this game is better on all levels.

 

[TheSeks]

Nearly finished with my replay of Uncharted 1 (I may save the last chapter for tomorrow, depending on if I go pick up Uncharted 2 tomorrow or Wednesday *probably Wednesday*) but man, such a fun ride just like the first time.

Graphically it's amazing Uncharted 1 was "best the PS3 had to offer" two-three years ago? Then Killzone 2 comes out and then Uncharted 2 comes out and squashes it completely. :/

 

[BattleMonkey]

We all know which Batman was the best, so lets keep the talk on Uncharted now.

 

[RoboPlato]

The Uncharted 2 thread what not where I expected a Batman debate. Indiana Jones, on the other hand...

ONE MORE DAY!!!!

I am not sure what your question is in particular. Pressing L1 and L3 switches your shoulder.

 

[MrJollyLivesNextDoor]

looks like they have done a better job with trailers this year, showing some actual gameplay footage is a start.

I still think ND could have done better if they made it themselves though, their massive attack trailer for the original was great, i know they don't get the same liberty with time on TV but i'm sure they could do something great:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmTgjLFNvA4&feature=PlayList&p=94642585230ADE65&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=3&fmt=22

Assassins Creed also had a good 30 second ad here in the UK with another massive attack song, worked really well imo and was quite simple to boot:

Another dumb question... How do you snap a neck when behind someone in multiplayer?

I got to Chapter 13 last night on crushing in 5 hours.

It's funny because my first crushing run took me like 4 hours to get there. I suck now. :lol

Hopefully I'll finish it by tonight.

 

[tfur]

I am a freaking surgeon and all i am thinking about is U2 at work

Sad...

Jesus, they let you cut people? The horror...

j/k :lol

 

[RoboPlato]

You have to be behind them and they have to not be able to see you on their screen. If someone has the camera rotated around them you won't be able to do it.

 

[polyh3dron]

Dammit, they didn't ship for me yet and I preordered a LONG time ago.

 

[MichaelEM3]

Received the shipping notification about an hour or two ago!

Can't wait for tomorrow.

 

[tass0]

Finally I am unbanned :X

I can't wait for Uncharted 2 I avoided as many images, screenshots, interviews etc as I can so I don't get spoiled like I did with MGS4 and KZ2 ¬_¬

And damn, since I am in Europe I have to play the game 3 days later while all you people will have already finished the game

 

[noah111]

I really hope i'm able to pick this up at launch or at least near launch. I'll be picking up the tools today or tomorrow to fix my YLOD PS3, then doing a backup, reformatting deactivating etc, so I can sell it to GameStop and get $150 store credit toward a PS3 slim.

This was just a trailer made for the web right? I am assuming they never aired this on television.

Something I did with the Fortune Favors the Bold trailer, and some Massive Attack.

 

[rhino4evr]

Amazon account status now says "Shipping Soon" I am assuming it's going to ship today or tomorro despite the shipping estimate of the 19th. Woo Hoo!
