They can focus on events before Drake's Schicksal, or after, even if they have storyline continuation, there's probably more backstories that can be written on Drake. To be honest, Drake is so much more interesting and better written than a character like Kratos that I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to play as Drake rawr. I mean, Drake has more interesting to say than, "ZEUSSSSSSS RAWR!!!111!!!" or "AREEEEESSSSS RAWR!!!111!!!" or "ATHENNNNAAAAAAA RAWR!!!111!!!".
I can't take it anymore. This game is so awesome no one should be missing out on it. I say we start a campaign: The Official Uncharted: Drake's Shicksel Campaign of Barrelamas. 
No, but seriously. We should start a campaign to inform others about this awesome game. We could do something like from that movie Pay it Forward. Each of us would be given the task of informing three other individuals that we in turn tell them to do the same. Meaning, for each one, the three people you tell about the game would then go on to tell three more people. I mean Naughty Dog has made a masterpiece here. The least we could do is inform others about their creation. What do you think?
I don't know... I'd miss my Drake and Elena. Let's just wait and see how the first one ends before we start guessing at what could happen in the sequel. But, I have a feeling we won't find out all the answers to our questions in this game. Something fishy is going on.

By the way, someone mentioned earlier about Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier being pattened. What happens if The Lost Frontier is going to be the new suffix for Jak and Daxter, much the same way as Ratchet and Clank Future is.

I just read that "review" that's up and it genuinely sounds like something anybody could write if they have just seen the videos and trailers. It mostly talks about how good it looks and how believable the characters are. Reads more like a preview or a press release.

I think ND have already quashed the idea of a cliffhanger. I would expect Uncharted 2 to be an original story (with Drake of course). Personally I can imagine a number of ways to handle a sequel. My favourite would be having the events of UDF making Drake something of a celebrity (Elena's a film maker remember) and somehow this newfound fame gets him embroiled in a brand new mystery. It would be a great way to get Drake into a big city too. There are other ways to continue his story but that's my favourite.
Heck, with the talent from Soul Reaver present it might not even be called Uncharted. It could be "________: Drake's Fortune", you never know.
Elena could be a journalist as well, making a documentary..
As to the question of my final impression, I don't have any as I haven't played the full game yet. Though we should get it tomorrow, so I'll complete it sometime this week and will judge it afterward. Based on the beta, it has serious potiential being 'Game of the Year 2007', though there's other strong contendors as well, no doubt. The beta just screamed polish and quality on a whole other level than other full videogames.
If there should be some nitpicking concerns based on the beta, it would be, no interactivity with barrels or enviroments (but the shotholes looks great), at times embarressing artificial intelligence (blowing themselves up), the fighting engine could maybge become repetetive - otherwise it's one heck of a beta; can't wait playing the review copy.
Oh, linearity and a possibility of a short adventure is absolute no concers for me personally. The linearity of the level designs is being made up for, with the out-of-this-world artistical influence and small sandbox design within the levels. I'm a guy who likes my games kinda short so I think Uncharted will have a good length, keeping me at the screen with the story and more so with treasures and a lot of unlockables.
And, at my first playthrough I will play it at a 32" HDTV, on my second playthrough Ill play it on my own 42" Plasma HDTV and on the third playtrough, I'll have rumble added to the game, wee. =)

Some terrible shaky cam footage of some platforming that I don't think we've seen yet.
Please don't watch if you don't want the game to be spoiled for you in anyway!

At the bottom of that place in the video, that's were the big bug orcurse with him jumping 30 meters up in the air to hide behind a wall. It's a great place, but it's really really easy and fast climbing around, which isn't a bad thing. If I remember right, it's theFirewire said:

This is a really good idea imo

I hate to say it, but it might be necessary. I was at EB and decided to put a few bucks down on a preorder for Uncharted and neither of the two guys at the counter had any idea what I was talking about, and one was the manager heh. Not only didn't they know what Uncharted was or when it was coming out, but even after finally finding it in their system under "Drake's Fortune" neither had any idea what game it was even after I described it. Kind of scary.

Didn't they have video's playing in the store of it? I know in both my local GS's they had the GS video mentioning Uncharted... And, it's in the loop on the PS3, and in that color binder of games coming out... They're just non-gamers for a paycheck, or, ignorant MS/Ninty fanboys...
Okay, first who gets the New York Times to believe this is a big enough release to run a story wins sixteen gallons of orange juice (delivered via UPS, in a barrel).Basch said:I can't take it anymore.

Also, public appearances in TV talk shows or on public radio using the phrase "Uncharted nation" will be rewarded with a lick of the lama, in the face or elsewhere, just say it.
Also, we should encourage as many people as possible that "Well it's no Uncharted" is an adequate statement to use in discussions of any other game in remotely the same genre.

Erm... No, no they didn't. Indy 4's due out next year. I'm not being funny but where did you get such a crazy idea?
edit: Can I ask how the hell the Mass Effect OT got AFW in the title and we're stuck with awesomesauce?
Firewire said:Cool! Kinda surprised the guy didn't give it a score, even though I guess the site doesn't score games, sounds like he really wanted to though!
I say we do it for him 10/10!
Let's see translated that for Gamespot lingo, computing the 4 adding some hydrocarbon and the Gamespot review is a 6.0.
