Seriously, whatever programming voodoo ND came up with for this game (shadow quality in particular), they need to share with the rest of the class. Screw competitive advantage. Think of the children!
The first person they need to share it with is Kojima. The shadows in MGS 4 are looking a bit rough by comparison, eh?

Calm down dear, it's only a commercial.
Thing is dante...you keep saying "it happens in every thread"...well a defense also happens in every thread. It's inevitable, and since we're all so used to insincere people only talking about negatives non-stop, a positive response is both inevitable and needed.
deepbrown said:
I wasn't being defensive, just joking around. I know its inevitable, I just hate the cycle of stupidity in here, it becomes almost impossible to have a real discussion about the games themselves. I feel like real quality posters have been around less and less since I joined the forum, and everything just turns into veiled console war bullshit.
You're right about more positive conversation being needed in here maybe though....Uncharted impressed me greatly, I was very skeptical of the games quality for some reason and the demo came out and drop kicked me in the face.

I think you've found your answer...maybe you should stop forcing people and let the conversation take it's natural course. After studying philosophy it was also the difference of opinion that had the greatest gains and the strongest conclusions, since we'd argue (debate) and work it out. If we had our lecturer saying "Ok be mature, stop disagreeing and agree to disagree" we wouldn't have got anywhere with the big questions. And i think maybe the same applies here.
Let them work it out. Both have a point. One sees tearing (stop playing in 1080i)...the other doesn't really see tearing (obv playing at 720p) and also is fed up with people talking about such a minimal flaw...and in some ways sees it as trolling.
The best way to make the point is...there is tearing at 1080i (we've now discovered), some people mind this, others don't. The people that mind this are missing out on enjoying some of the best games this gen and the gen before it...Shadow of the Collossus, Heavenly Sword, Mass Effect... etc. The problem lies with them, ever think they'd enjoy games more if they'd get over this if it doesn't impede gameplay (it did in SOTC to some extent)? There's more important things to worry about...

Yes, but grenades are pretty shit in Gears. I can understand the comparisons and the criticisms of the weapons, but aside from the lancer and the shotgun the weapons in Gears were pretty shit, other than the huge clip count and the high fire rate they weren't that great, the mechanics is more along the line of flank and blind-fire.

I like the gore in Gears. I wish Uncharted had it. The skull-popping sniper shots and the dismemberment by grenades and other explosive devices still does not get old to me.

I hear ya, but I think it does improve upon the cover and shooting mechanics of Gears, Gears' layouts are very much 2D, here you can take advantage, of high ground as well as climb up on a piece of cover to give yourself high ground. Headshots are far more satisfying because they are one-shot kills, where as in Gears it's really more of a damage sponge system where you can take down enemies with blind-fire, while Uncharted is very much pop-in/pop-out/aim and shoot, in Uncharted you really have to learn to steady your aim, in Gears you can cheat by steering your aim a little bit when you're back in cover.

Played the demo, I am really impressed. But you shouldn't play the game on easy or even normal. The game is brilliant on hard, I totally digged the "cat and mouse" shootouts on that diffilculty level. The AI is pretty good and get's the job done. I had a hard time in melee combat and died quite a few times when I tried to take them down like that.
Kittonwy said:
You know that is actually something I couldn't put my finger on that was noticeable and great, I dont think the mechanics of gears are at fault, but the vertical dimension present in Uncharted shootouts is appreciated.
I'm with denogg on the gore issue though, headshots have never been as satisfying as they are in Gears, and it certainly has everything to do with the gory effects. For me anyway.
The AI here is better than I expected too. I never had problems with Gears AI, and I still feel it gets the job done, but its certainly much better in Uncharted.
Is there more to the melee combat than meets the eye?....I mean, am I missing a layer of depth or timing?
Not that I don't like it, I don't really think it needs to be anymore involved than it is, and I find it to be really fun and satisfying thanks to the animation, just wanted to know if theres a way to be more effective than I currently am.

My statement wasn't meant to be taken that way. I meant games usually are crafted with art in mind. Your statements are preferences. You cannot clearly state one artistic style is superior to another. However, with technical aspects you can. I'm just stating you can't claim Okami or Super Mario Galaxy is technically superior. Uncharted pushes one-third of the PS3. I haven't heard Super Mario Galaxy pushing that much processing power. So for someone who likes the art direction of Uncharted, it is not hard to believe someone would rate the graphics a 10/10.

Yeah I guess gore does make an impact.
Maybe it's just my experience with Gears when I played it on hardcore, but sniper headshots while satisfying, just don't happen often enough, I really found the other weapons underwhelming (shotgun was cool though) and mostly a flank and blind-fire affair, even in the Uncharted demo I'm using cover and doing headshots left and right, not because it's really easy especially since everytime I come out of cover the aim would be slightly off so I have to actually aim instead of steer the reticle bit by bit, but the enemies keep moving, with the handgun I really have to make every shot count, the overall satisfaction level is just higher because I'm always trying to score headshots and because the headshot is a one-hit-kill. I supposed Naughty Dog could have put more gore in there but they wanted their teen rating, I guess I would settle for a broader appeal for the game.

I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. I've always kinda been looking forward to it, but after downloading it I gotta say, I'm impressed. I love the combat, good mix of Gears and R6 Vegas....
And the Tomb-raidery stuff is good. Day one buy for me....
