what would be impossible about it? They added them into the code of the game. They don't append to your PSN ID, and you can't view them online like XBL achievements, but it's not like it's ahrd to put them into a game. Hell, EA Sports games had similar stuff last gen.

So it's similar to the Madden stuff on PS2? I was thinking more like the XBL achievements...

Talk about a complete 180 from their impressions in another issue.

Have they said if these achievements will be later integrated into Home and Home Trophies? How many achievements are there?

You basically have a list of things to do in Uncharted like you'd have in a 360 game (i.e. 50 headshots - 30pts , 50 kills with weapon X - 10pts, collect X number of treasures - 10pts, etc.) all the way to 1000pts. Those points in turn unlock various bonus items like the everyday ho-hum stuff like art galleries and behind the scene videos to more helpful and interesting things like infinite ammo, slow motion, mirror world, graphic filters, costumes, etc.
I really like the way they implimented it.

heh that happened to me quite a few times while playing. The most common instances were:
- I just cleared out a room and i'm low on ammo and then a new wave enters and i'm thinking. "ah come on!" and at that point Drake goes "oh you got to be kidding me!"
-I spend all this time finding some remote location and then run into a batch of enemies. My thought was "how'd these guys get here?" and Drake says outloud "Man these guys are everywhere!"
It was a nice touch and it was cool to see ND use Drake to mock the unrealistic portions of the game for the sake of making a fun/well paced game.

That happened to me the first time I tried the Trapped! chapter...whichever number that is. You know, the one where you're fighting all those guys in the domed building with the stationary heavy machine gun all the way in the back on the balcony. As soon as the second or third wave came in, both he and I basically said the same thing together.....'cept I think I was probably cussin' a little more.

How the fuck does Loudninja have 600 posts in this thread? That's insane.
Finally got around to beating the game tonight, and I must say that I found the last hour or so of the game pretty unentertaining. Pretty much from the moment the
appeared, the combat went from fun with too many respawns to just plain boring. Every time they came into a room, the game devolved into me running around in circles pressing R1 whevever something appeared in front of me. The final encounter was retarded as well for completely different reasons. I plowed through it because I knew I was close to the end, but I can't really say that I enjoyed it.
I understand why they went that way for story reasons, but from a gameplay perspective I didn't like it much at all. I'd have rather fought against
or something, as it would have at least fit in with the gameplay style up to that point. The enemies they went with felt like rejects from
Still, I'd rate the game as excellent overall, despite the last hour. I like how they went the Indiana Jones route
and the last big platforming piece with the Roman Numerals was great.
Spaniard Demons/zombies/whatever the hell they are

undead Spaniards in conquistador outfits shooting at me with muskets
Half Life or Condemned.

Good god, imagine a Drake Team Racing with visuals and at a speed as in that car chase.

Oh yeah, and bloody awesome good job on the "faux" scope and scale they managed to create. Walking around in these totally believable ruins and looking out across the island, that's just awesome.

Just bought it. Can't wait to sink my teeth into this one.

You know, I can maybe understand that something like Ratchet would have a hard time selling right now, given the platform and the tastes of gamers these days. But if this game doesn't sell at least to current PS3 owners, then games and gaming can kiss my ass because all hope is lost.
In other news, holy shit at the customs house.

Many of my favorite games have been ignored by the masses. I adore Team ICO's games. I loved Okami and Stranger's Wrath. I am really hopeful this game isn't ignored. Naughty Dog deserves to see some success with this awesome title. Uncharted would seem to have plenty of mainstream appeal, so I hope more people recognise what a great game this is.

I played through the game on normal, then switched to easy on the final chapter after dying a billion times (what can I say - I was too tired to really get the pattern :lol). So I got "Charted! Easy" first, then I selected the final chapter on normal difficulty, beat it and got that medal.
Doesn't work on higher difficulties though. Playing trough the game on Hard right now.
I think you beat the game on hard the first time. Then you select final chapter for easy and normal,you will be able to unlock the Easy and normal achievements.Ceb said:I played through the game on normal, then switched to easy on the final chapter after dying a billion times (what can I say - I was too tired to really get the pattern :lol).
