Uncharted: Korean version
For comparison, Live Free and Die Hard was PG-13. I know the standards between MPAA and ESRB are off (you're allowed waist-up nudity even in PG-13), but even ESRB isn't that ridiculous. Let's not forget to leave room for the Everyone rating now 3; It seems that censorship is really getting over our heads.DenogginizerOS said:Face melting Nazis and heart-ripping witch doctors fit nicely in Indiana Jones...

It took me a bit longer than anticipated to make this, and it's definitely more ambitious than I originally planned, but it's here:
The Official Interactive Countdown to Uncharted executable and screen saver
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NNT8DJ0U
When you download the archive above, it will have three files, and they all show the same basic thing that looks like this:
So, in the archive there's an .exe that can be run in a window on a desktop (no installation required), and two installer files for the screensavers - one shows countdown stretched in fullscreen, one shows it unstretched with black borders around. You'll need a very hefty machine to run the fullscreen one, especially if you want the smooth animation during the payoff sequence (when the counter reaches 0). For example, my P4/3GHz is not enough to get smooth animation in fullscreen.
As I mentioned, this countdown is interactive, so you can click / rollover various things, and stuff will happen. Main point of interest is of course the treasure chest in the middle, but you can click on other things as well. The design philosophy of the countdown was similar to that of the game it counts down for (as much as it can be applied to something as simple as this)
- There's animation blending and selection from the pool of several random animations for the treasure chest.
- The responsiveness comes first: When you click on the chest it will animate instantly, even if you click very fast.
- There's a "Next Gen Mode", which is enabled by default, but can be disabled by clicking on the countdown numbers. It enables/disables motion blur, complex shadowing etc.
- It's multilingual! Click the logo at the top for that well known 'other' logo
- The payoff sequence will make you smile and say WOW! (well, I hope)
- Best of it's kind? Welp, I can't think of too many game countdowns this ambitious

Indeed. As a general note, I suggest to set the brightness (in-game) to 1/4 (it's 2/4 by default) for HDMI users. HDMI video signal is brighter than Component so you might end up having a slightly "washed out" image. Basically, the darker you set it while still being able to see details the better. At least on my set up it looks better.

Some combination of planet earth being on tonight and the beauty of the environments in the uncharted demo makes me wish there was more wildlife in this game.
I'd love if in Uncharted 2 there was about 50% of the game that was combat free...100% exploration/traversal gameplay, and as you wandered around the jungles...you would encounter alligators, baboons, gorillas, leopards, snakes, elephants, boars...etc...etc...etc...
I personally think it would make exploration that much more interesting and would certainly make the already amazing environments feel even more alive.

How are the sixaxis sections of the game? I was watching a video where he was walking across logs and you had to tilt the controller for balance.
Drake has been getting crap talked by trolls for a long ass time guys. It's not like people don't want criticism, it's just that people are tired of the canned responses and BS observations that have been plauging Drake threads forever. The game isn't perfect, no game is perfect. Get the fuck over it and enjoy it if you actually enjoy games.
Game seems a little gunplay-heavy for my tastes. Don't get me wrong - I'm sure it's an AAA title - it just doesn't seem to be the game I was hoping it would be. I would have liked 70% platforming/adventure 30% shooting (ala Tomb Raider), but Drake's ratio seems to be flipped, based on the demo, and based on trailers.
The demo really has me worried. I've played it and practiced and practiced and practiced and I still suck at it. Like some others I wasn't under the impression that the game would be nearly as focussed on the gunplay as the demo and those that have played the final game seem to imply.
I'm afraid this is just a game that will frustrate me now. When I can't get anywhere the camera feels like its flailing about and im dying within two minites of encountering enemies on EASY in the freaking DEMO then i have to reconsider if the game is worth a purchase. Sucks since ive loved everything else Naughty Dog has done but it seems the temptation to make a game only those exceedingly proficient in shooting games and the fps style of play can enjoy was too great this go round.

I dunno man....I'm pretty sure the actual game will feature a lot more platforming than the demo. Also you don't have to be anything close to exceedingly proficient in shooting games to beat the demo on easy. I would say you don't have to be anything resembling proficient.

I played through the demo and from what I played, I liked it. I've always been a fan of adventure type games, for me going back to Tomb Raider. Though lately the FPS genre is the type of game I play the most nowadays. The graphics are pretty sweet, and the story and characters seem to be pretty interesting. The cover system similar to another favorite of mine, Gears, felt pretty good and natural. I did turn the sensitivity up about two notches though. Probably from trying the demo after some COD4. And Nathan Drake already has more personality than some other game characters out there. Damn, to think at one time I was complaining to myself about all these recent game delays. I don't even have enough for the games coming out now...
holy shit, i bought a ps3 for third party exclusives (back when it wasn't just ffxiii and mgs4) and i'm staying for the first party. based on the demo, i think naughty dog has severely raised the bar for every sony-sponsored development team that hasn't released a game yet. sucker punch, i'm looking at you
