Project Tideas got our review's kit today. Major major prop to Sony for being so generous as to take a chance on us. Although we're still growing, definitely loving the fact that they consider us as important as one of the big boys. Gotta love their PR team too.
The game is launched on the 19th, and so, my review will be up by then. And don't worry, credibility and believability is extremely important to us here at Project Tideas. Just because I received this from Sony doesn't mean I'll give the game a free pass. If it's great, then it's great, but if it sucks, trust me, you'll here it, especially if you've read some of my prior reviews.

Don't let that stop you from getting the game. The demo puts you right into the thick of things. In the actual game, the learning curve is not as steep. Once you actually get to the part of the game where the demo takes place, you'll have a bit of an easier time taking those guys out.
Yes, the game is challenging and the AI can be relentless at times, but it doesn't get cheap. And it's sooooooo worth it. It really is an amazing experience on every level. I'm having tons of fun with it.
Has anyone unlocked next-gen filter yet? Points are slow in gathering on hard, seems like they'd be easier to rack up in easy mode because it would be easier to have your way with the enemies. That's the one bonus I'm interested in, was wondering if anyone has any shots/vids of it ;o

That's what the "next-gen" filter does? :lol I'd die if there's a bald space marine Drake unlockable.

Just got past the jeep escape and the first jetski section. WOW.
Have to shut it down now. My subwoofer + those explosions + 3AM = my neighbors probably wanting to get me evicted.
...every game needs a DTS soundtrack like Teh Schicksel.

I can't quite pinpoint the last time that headshots have felt so gratifying in a single player game. It balances the pistols so well and makes it useful whereas most other games you'd barely ever put down your primary weapon.
Also, why the hell are magnum revolvers so damn powerful in every game now? It seems almost obligatory 3; At least they're balanced well here, 6 shots and you're out no reserve ammo ;o

I got it a while back.
and it does make things brown and MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF BLOOM! seriously, it is crazy with the bloom.
I want to see what cartoon Nathan looks like in the character unlocks, so far I only unlocked Naughty Dog Nate which is basically Nate wearing a shirt from the original trailer (where it has different colored sleeves) and I think also a logo, I didnt use it for too long.
the unlockables are fun to mess around with, playing the game in slow-motion makes you really notice every single animation while playing it in faster speed mode just makes things...faster and in ways more intense. Mirror mode is my favorite option, it does change it up just a bit for the second time through.

Well, just from what I've played of the demo, I'd say my biggest problem with the game, graphically, is the outdoor lighting. Just not enough contrast, everything feels over blown. The trees especially light weird. Still, the game looks fantastic, just feel the lighting could be better.

nothing else to say about how spectacular this game is and how much of a dream come true it is for me 
....also pretty estactic to see the "baseball tee drake" as an unlockable as I always prefered his original concept look

now, should i buy the ps3 for this game or wait until killzone 2 come out ?
I'm starting to reevaluate my thoughts on Gears having better shooting mechanics. Drake is more agile, lighter on his feet and throughout the course of the game has better guns at his disposal. The lack of auto-aim makes the art of the headshot that much more complicated and the enemy AI is very resourceful. They make the Locust look braindead. What really separates this, though, is the lack of a "roadie run". Drake runs automatically for you, and it always works. Marcus Fenix and Co. control like tanks. Drake moves like a ballet dancer.
I have lots of contrast in the demo here. And my settings are as they should be on my Samsung 32. Completely editted for PS3 games, from Motorstorm to Heavenly Sword. RGB Full on. Sounds like a recalibration, and was never calibrated properly in the first placemackmoney said:

me too... my HDMI1 input is calibrated for PS3 and looks great.

Could you have least waited an hour before owning me? Seriously, all my other PS3 games look fine so I doubt it's a calibration issue but I'll look into it. I've had a few issues with certain 360 games as well (especially VF5 Online) so I won't discount the possibility.
I agree with you.JB1981 said:
The Locust are dumb bullet sponges in comparison to the enemies in Uncharted. The way they work to get around you is fantastic and really challenges you to take them out quickly while staying on your toes. I also love the feeling of movement when Drake busts into a full out run. Using that motion to run up to an enemy for a melee attack is fantastic (much more satisfying than the Chainsaw in Gears).
The *ONLY* element in Gears that I miss is the active reload. That was a brilliant touch. However, due to the nature of the weapons and the precision required here, I don't think it would have worked all that well.
The machine will cost the same at that time (late spring).sleeping_dragon said:
Uncharted the demo was awesome and from the sound of it here the rest of the game is just as good.
Also who knows, surprise KZ2 beta in the mean time?
The combat is more agile in Uncharted with the situation changing constantly so I think gamers have enough on their plate.dark10x said:
lol. Seriosuly dude, I did a lot of research on calibration for my TV on AVForums. And each person has different settings for TV, DVD's, Blu-rays, 360 and PS3. Now I spent a long time calibrating, and contrast on the PS3 was one of them. With RGB FUll on the ps3, the contrast on my Samsung sorted out, with the right colours etc...I get the most out of all my games - and Uncharted is no exception. The shadows are dark when they need to be. You'll also notice that Uncharted allows you to change the contrast in game...mackmoney said:
And yuh I thought my ps3 games looked fine, until i spent some time sorting it all out...and they look 10 times better.

Do you mind posting (or PMing me) your TV/PS3 picture settings please?
I just got my PS3 this week and also have a Samsung 32" (mines model 3251D). It'd be nice to use settings that are properly calibrated etc.
