That brings up another thing, the AI now needs to be tweaked to handle loosing sight of you and have more than just two modes (on/off) you should be able to sneak around and avoid detection.

Like I said two posts above. It would be nice to have another option when you just know that six guys are going to jump out the moment you cross a certain point in the area you're in. I'd like it if you could see them hiding if you looked hard enough, and if you had the option of circling around them to get a better position and thwart their ambush.

I stealth edited.

I actually just really want this game to try and emulate gameplay concepts presented Crysis, it would work so fucking well.

Ah, Crysis.

I actually have the processor and the RAM to run that, but my video card is painfully out of date. Perhaps next year I'll be able to afford one that'll let me experience it.

What are these concepts that Crysis presents, if you don't mind explaining a bit?

 

[Kittonwy]

It wouldn't be a problem at all because the level is open, meaning you can just keep moving from cover to cover, run away, hide, get all "Charlie's in the bush" on their asses.

Once the AI spots the player, there's really no turning off, the enemies have to now be aware of the player's presence, I'm not sure there's anything in-between, right now the AI in Uncharted can lose sight of the player but is still aware of the player's presence, and the player can still sneak up on the AI.

I have a problem with overly open levels because those might be very difficult to tune in terms of gameplay balance, especially when it comes to the combat set-pieces like cover and enemy positions, and AI behaviours, right now Uncharted levels work very, very well. I'm not sure if I actually want Uncharted to be open like Crysis, I don't really need that sandbox element in my gunplay, sneaking up on AI is fun in Uncharted because it's tough to do, and gunplay is intense and fun right now, and the player can still get quite creative in terms of outflanking enemies and can actually be outflanked by enemy AI, the core is very strong, that's something I do NOT want to be sacrificed just so people can "mess around".

I understand your point but it's like the demo level where you can essentially pop one guy in the head before the confrontation even starts, sometimes having the enemies get the drop on the player keeps that intensity up instead of letting the player actually thin out the crowd way ahead of time, it keeps the player off-balanced and you have to improvise and adapt. Uncharted does a good job of mixing up both enemy spawning and enemies already present in the level patrolling.

I would have also liked the gunfights to have fewer enemies - it just didn't fit the story that there were so many pirates to be killed.. was kind of ridiculous.

What you're proposing would make the game easier and less fun - and why? Only to make the number of pirates more believable? That doesn't seem like a good enough reason to me. Besides, Eddie Raja is supposed to be some big shot modern pirate leader, so having a hundred or so people under him wouldn't be that far fetched I think.

I'm sure I killed more pirates than Covenant in all 3 halo games combined.

Nah, no way. I'm pretty sure Halo 1 alone had more Covenent enemies to kill, and if you include the Flood...

At the biginning of chapter two, keep to the right side of the path while going ahead. Dont stay on the ground level. Climb whatever you need to stay to the very right. Monkeys will be waiting for you there.

This is the level I'm talking about. Monkeys are little further around the right corner there.

Thanks! I'll try it tomorrow. What about frogs? Or was that just someone's joke?

Each level is one huge map with every enemy inhabiting it from the start, you have objectives but the level design is fucking fantastic because it's naturalistic, whereas most shooters are essentially designed like a Disney ride where you shoot at the Small World animatronic puppets from inside the cab as it moves down the path; Crysis places you in an open "real world" environment and lets you decide how you're going to navigate to the objective and how you can use the various suit power/weapon combos to deal with enemies.

I don't want to gt too off topic so check the Crysis thread for more.

Well, not only for the believability, but I honestly thought the shooting sequences were too long and too frequent after a while. Instead of looking forward to those parts, I was just trying to rush through them to see the next environment or cutscene. Still, some of the battles were fantastic - and it was cool to go through a room, and then clear out the bastards who rush you from the entrance to the room :lol

If you find the frogs I'll send you my copy of Uncharted for free

But it's a shooter. :/

Hey, can someone with the Japanese version of the game tell me if it also has english language track?

The JP version of Uncharted would only cost me 33euros30euros, that's like 40+ euros less than it'd cost me here in stores.

 

[angelcage87]

So like i said in the official ac thread,i can't decide between uncharted and AC,can you help me gaf?How many time did it took to beat the game?Was it worth it?etc etc

HALP, I'm about to go order this game and it'd suck if it'd have only japanese voices.

I'm a bit paranoid since that Uncharted demo ordeal.

yesasia.com (+ coupon)

Won't get released till 6th december + shipping means you won't get the game till 10-17 december. I have to wait but I basically have AC and Uncharted for a bit less than the price of one game here.

I think almost all ps3 games have all languages, but I just want to be reassured.

That's a killer offer man,if anyone can confirm that the jap version of AC and Uncharted have at least english text,i'm going to buy em too from yesasia.

They don't.

 

[_Angelus_]

Beat the game on Hard mode(again.) 11 hours this time around. Still fun as ever.
This time when I beat it there was no glitch. The game gave me the Hard medal and I also unlocked Crushing Mode.

Gonna save playing on that one for another day though.
Gotta start up Heavenly Sword over again and beat the game this time around.

 

[Tieno]

They don't.

Fuck it, I ordered it anyway. I'm sure/hope the JP version will have english language.

That's a killer offer man,if anyone can confirm that the jap version of AC and Uncharted have at least english text,i'm going to buy em too from yesasia.

I got the 360 asian version for AC from playasia and that's region free. Ubi only made one disc with the languages. I'm sure the PS3 version is the same deal.

Just got my import copy, played for 20 minutes, seems to be a great game. But what is up with the screentearing?

theres some screen tearing thats what. Been talked about alot. Its very little and seems less and less as you go through the game.

 

[seb]

Is the demo representative in this regard (screen tearing) ?
It didn't bother me in the demo, so if that's all there is, I'll buy it when I get a chance (damn you SCEA).

Well the first 20 minutes I would say a little more.. can be the same, dunno didn't compare..
I do know it annoys me.

Thanks it does. The game looks really great btw, I can hear the drive stream the data. ND build a nice engine imo.

Yes shrink Drake and put him on a tiny shiny marble to search for the clangers.:lol

They don't.

For 1st party titles, they absolutely do. Tieno is safe.

[Evazan]

Wooo! Got all the treasures last night!

 

[Lord Error]

Do you get anything special for getting all the treasures, or do you just get reward points?

Also, there is 61st treasure, which is that relic reward page mentions, right? That one must be really hard to find (don't tell where it is, just tell me if it's really hard to find)

You just get reward points and a feeling of accomplishment.

61st treasure??

the strange relic is not hard to find.

I'm not sure...I never checked to see if it was counted or not

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

strated Crushing last night

what can i say...its crushing. But gameplay holds up very well(unlike u CoD4 veteran :/)

im up to 48 treasures,

and why cant i unlock Baseball Drake??? I put the danm code in....

 

[YYZ]

lol yes, 61

 

[Evazan]

lol yes, 61

Well wait...is it just called The Strange Relic and your treasure sheet still says that you got only 60?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Absolutely gorgeous shots.

To me one of the most impressive levels is that underground

Spoiler

Fortress level with all the swinging fire lamps it looks like a cross between Goonies and Labyrinth so dang gorgeous looking

And I totally agree with Shinobi for once those

Spoiler

creatures totally look like the decent monsters

 

[GauntletFan]

So like i said in the official ac thread,i can't decide between uncharted and AC,can you help me gaf?How many time did it took to beat the game?Was it worth it?etc etc

I enjoyed both. I was more impressed with AC visually, but UDF has more varied gameplay and better story. If possible, get both - they are two of the best games out right now.

 

[Kittonwy]

So like i said in the official ac thread,i can't decide between uncharted and AC,can you help me gaf?How many time did it took to beat the game?Was it worth it?etc etc

Uncharted is a much better game, get Uncharted.

 

[Blimblim]

Yes

I'll see if Blim will let me do some videos for the game. Its fairly late after its release though, so he probably has most of it covered. :lol

Well take a look at TTP's videos. Uncharted has not been released in Europe yet so I sure can get more videos of that game.
(PM me though before encoding)

 

[The Chef]

Amazing

Great shots Forsete - I think these are the best pictures I have seen yet

 

[Arkham]

where would guys like the next unchrated to be?

DTA:New York?

<removed image because asshole Cyberia18 on this forum http://forum.fok.nl/topic/1099733/2/50 hotlinked it, spiking my server usage.>

asshole.

 

[Y2Kev]

Just beat it. Really really excellent ramp up to the end and then a nice little end sequence using the cover system. Starting with the

shotgun

only was an exercise in frustration.

I think my favorite chapters were 3, 5, 12, and 15. And I really enjoyed the music.

You probably got the code wrong or somethin' somethin'.

Yes crushing is teh crushing.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I'm an hour or two into the game and the graphics are really getting to me. That combination of motion blur and depth of field whenever I move is making me really nauseous. I never get sick playing games (except for Marathon XBLA) so I'm not sure what I can do. Is this a common problem? Is there a way to turn off those obnoxious graphical features?

You only get motion blur when you turn the camera quickly. Depth of field? I'm not sure if the game even uses DOF during gameplay.
