Shit I forgot about their horrible preview! So it must be fooking good if they still think it's great. Oooh exciting. Mines in the post, special delivery!!! $85 :/ woo hooGeezer said:I'm surprised by that score considering Edge had a scathing preview recently.
My copy of Uncharted is on the way from Movietyme, hopefully I'll get it by the weekend

Yeah, that preview in Edge was a bit scary. I was expecting 6 more than an 8 based on that.
Played the first couple hours with friends last night. The game is thoroughly entertaining and highly polished thus far. Visually it's absolutely amazing, possessing GOW details but with more variety in colour. The shooting, platforming, and exploring were in perfect amounts. The story and dialogue is some of the best I've ever played.
It sure as hell started off like a GOTY and at any rate it's a must-play for PS3 owners.

I think Uncharted surpasses easily Gow details, a 'forest' is very difficult to realize in 3d, but with that details and those texture and shader it is an incredible place that mind blowing every time.
The Fortress have the best quality texture i have seen in a console game to date.

if there is one thing uncharted needs is a mercenary/arcade mode. they could've added some unique enemies to this mode, like enemies wielding chainsaws, zombies, aligators or what not. would've been KILLER. still, it's never to late to incorporate ideas into a finished game.

Wow, I agree with everything you said, except, of course, the part about gameplay as I have not played it yet. But I'm positive I will be echoing those claims as well once I have. It will be hard not knowing anything about the sequel for so long, though. Thanks a lot, media!
We at least have to have one or two trailers before the game comes out though. But, yes, I absolutely agree with only releasing previews and videos through PlayStation: The Official Magazine and the PSN.BruceLeeRoy

Deep its a fricken tragedy you havent played this game yet.
One thing last night I was noticing is the acting in this game outside of HS is the best I have ever seen.
Two parts that particularly were amazing to me were first when you go into the
library that has all the ship records and Elena is talking to you there is one point where you can tell for the first time she is starting to fall for Drake but its not done with over the top gestures like a hand on his face or what she says its her eyes.
The second part relates more to the excellent writing and delivery when Drake sees
the footage of Sully alive again and looking somewhat like a traitor he looks absolutely confused and hurt at the same time and you can actually see his demeanor change to be more light hearted as he trys to just excuse it
Just another amazing thing about this game.
Got the game yesterday, and played until I got passed the demo level. The game is amazing, definitely some of the best graphics I have seen on the PS3. The animations are incredible, just so realistic in the way he moves through doorways, down stairs, etc. The story is pretty engaging too, my girlfriend kept looking up whenever there was a cut scene because she liked it so much.
My only complaint is that sometimes I cannot tell how far he can jump, causing me a couple deaths so far. This is just minor though and overall everything about the game is just so polished.
The shooting feels great to me, and playing the demo definitely helped me get better with head shots. Can't wait to get out of work/school today and play some more.

Suddenly, I wish ND gave you the option of running around the whole island at once after you finish. I'd love to just take it all in.
BTW the first game to use a cover system was cabal lol

It is indeed. The best thing about it however, is that all the facial animation in the game is hand crafted, instead of performance captured like in HS. There's something very endearing about knowing all the gameplay animation as well as the faces in cutscenes were hand-animated. Only character movement in cutscenes was mocapped, and even then stuff like putting parachute on during the demo cutscene was hand-animated.BruceLeeRoy said:

Got to disagree completely with you on that bro I dont think Halo 3 should even be on that list Bioshock at least to me looks clearly better.
Uncharted is the undisputed winner here though when you look out of the fortress and see the water lapping up against the rocks or the stream above the waterfall it seriously makes me thirsty.

Holy crap EDGE must have really really loved UNCHARTED.
They gave it a 8 and Assassins Creed and Mass Effect a 7
I haven't beaten it yet but I couldn't agree with you more.

A 7 is a bout right for AC...the series has GREAT potential, but it has many weaknesses as well....

Funny thing, I have had Uncharted sitting right here for two days now but I haven't had time to play it. And it'll only cost me $50 if I end up buying it. Crazy stuff, eh?

Uncharted only froze once for me.. and it was when Drake and Elena were running from (Twist spoilers)
down the corridor. Fortunately, the start of said run was a check point so I didn't lose anything progress wise.
The undead? Spaniards
Fired up Mass Effect last night before bed and both this game and Heavenly Sword have kind of ruined that game for me. The characters in ME are so dead in the eyes and stilted in their animations/facial expressions. Drake and Sword have really set a new standard, as far as I'm concerned.
Well, to be fair, Mass Effect does a good job when you consider how BIG the game is. There is no way they could achieve the same level of quality throughout with that much dialog.JB1981 said:
Uncharted was hand animated and HS uses performance capture. Mass Effect could not rely on such techniques.
