I don't know...I mean they clearly say that it's a game, it's just THAT much of a blockbuster to fool a women.
Peoples reaction should be more like "wow, you can play a game that's like a movie". I guess. The general public should react in another way than some nerds who know that there are games out there with more cutscenes than gameplay...Lord Error

I think that most people who are not super-hardcore gamers will note that as a point of interest. Superhardcores know exactly what the game is and how it plays anyways, so for them it doesn't matter.Amir0x said:
Jostifer said:C'MON. Everyone can see the compliment.
It's obviously intended as a compliment as in "wow this game looks so real and has such compelling storytelling it might be as good as a movie!"
But I just think as a general rule, it's always bad when you have to imply that games might be as good as another medium that people are not trying to get into when they play games.

There's also a wiki for the series.

I personally am so pumped for the game; I'm almost done Crushing on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and will then have all the trophies for the game. The multiplayer demo for U2 is so awesome!

I think they made a good distinction saying that for the side observer it looks like a movie. And for visual storytelling it's very much a big deal if another medium can be as good as a movie.Amir0x said:

I wonder if they are still keeping with the "Supernatural" type theme like in the first.

I would say the goal of games is to provide good entertainment. If a game can provide entertainment just like a good movie can then the developers have succeeded.
Games are just a different experience because they're interactive.
I'm sure many of us have girlfriends/wives/significant others that love to watch us play and are perfectly entertained, have fun and are content just watching.
Well.. wait. This is NeoGAF so reduce the many to just "some" hehe.

For a side observer it's important that it entertains that way as well. I don't know how common of an occurrence it is, but I have that exact situation at my homeAmir0x said:
Uncharted was one of games that was very fun to watch for someone not playing it, and it's not a bad selling point.Shining Sunshine

Movies are a lot more emotionally engaging than video games without the cutscene, so to achieve that kind of status with gameplay, which is what Ueda has been doing, is quite a feat. Like Adam Sessler said, this game makes you forget that you're playing a game.
Even with Uncharted, I felt like the seamless animation and character responses made it feel extremely cinematic.

While I agree with you that games shouldn't pretend to be movies, still, giving players the sense that they're taking part in an adventure film-like experience is what they're going for. My girlfriend is actually the same way as the girl in that preview, she'll watch me play games if the characters and storytelling are well done and interesting, I know you don't care for it but she begs me to play Metal Gear Solid 4 like every day so she can watch the cutscenes :lol
So at least for me, I think it's cool that games like Uncharted can make people want to watch you play them, now I don't have to tell her "hey look this part is awesome" because she'll be watching without me having to ask her to. That's not really the point of Uncharted, I know, but I do like it that they're starting to break grounds in cinematic storytelling to go along with great gameplay and I like it that she gets more interested in watching me play games because she can go along for the ride without a controller.
OBVIOUSLY, but you have to remember that this is a commercial for general people, not hardcore gamers.Amir0x said:
I'm pretty sure their point was that it's such a technical marvel and a thrilling ride that it could pass as a movie to those who don't play video games.. at least that's what I got out of it.

OMG, these ads are the best.

Unfortunately, I don't think the American audience responds well to ads like the first one. They like seeing consumers like themselves play the game.J-Rzez said:

That was a good commercial.
...and then I looked at the comments:

The first Uncharted ads was like that, didn't work.

I've got this, Brutal Legend and Demon's Souls all pre-ordered and fully paid for and they're all coming out at roughly the same time. I'm not going to know which game to play. Not a bad situation to be in.

That .gif would have come in handy during the clock/battery meter debacle.

I need 2 good players to beat Gold Rush with. I still haven't been able to finish all 10 rounds, and I really need some good people.
Anyone interested, add me up, I'm on right now.

Maybe we need to do something about this.... *rubs chin*

Not all games, the main goal should be to make something as fun as possible. But in terms of this game, because its going for that Indiana Jones like vibe and it is very story driven they go hand in hand.
