Probably Uncharted.. the hand-painted textures, lighting and animation all look incredible. Ratchet looks great too, has a bigger scale and I believe it's 60 fps.

Uncharted by far, the water, character animations, overall character details, lighting and shadowing simply puts Uncharted in a different league.

Hard plays so much better than Normal. Crushing is insane but very fun in cuss at your TV kind of way. I finished it on Hard and Crushing. When I go back to Normal, it is just way to easy! I can go through a whole level getting nothing but head shots.

Once you can consistently do headshots on hard and crushing, normal becomes too easy, heck stealth kills are also probably much easier to pull off.

wait, how can you auto shoot in the jetski level?

It's only in the second level, iirc. Just hit R1, and Elena does the rest.

Just finished the game. What an experience. It takes GoWII's place as GOTY for me, even though I
hated the twist towards the end. Kind of ruined the awesome Indiana Jones vibe the story had.


One question: how to you enable weapons and costumes that you have unlocked during gameplay?
Click to expand...

I don't know, I remember Indiana Jones dealing with Ghosts, Tribes that rip hearts out with their bare hands, and the holy grail that leads to immortality and people turning into dust (as well as one of the Crusaders).

Seems like Indiana Jones was just as crazy as UDF???

Just beat it on normal. Absolutely awesome from beginning to end, with only a few minor frustrations in the middle (Not ANOTHER shootout!). I liked the exploration, climbing, and platforming more than the shooting.

2009 for a sequel can't come soon enough.

Just finished it a few minutes go, such an awesome, awesome game. The ending was a bit unsatisfying, but overall it's an excellent package. Games need more unlockable extras.

I finished last night, great game. My save said a smidge over 9 hours, but I died a lot, so probably closer to 10. I will go back through hard and try new tactics, there are a ton of way of fighting. I also only found like 29 treasures and only have like 390 points.

The graphics are the best out there short of newer PC games. For a console game it is on top.

I was thinking melee weapons would be cool in part two. Pick up and use machetes, crowbars, pieces of wood. Being able to throw like in Heavenly Sword would be sweet.

No comments yet, it's likely there might not be any. f you are wondering about a possible sequel then that was 'Pretty Much Guaranteed' a while ago

Yeah, the full quote was, "A sequel is pretty much guaranteed. The only way we won't make one is the game completely tanks and sells less than 120k in the US in November or something absurd like that."

Okay, no it wasn't, and honestly I'm not trying to be an ass. I can't believe the sales #s myself, it's disheartening.

I just bought a PS3 and Uncharted helped me make the jump. It's actually the only PS3 game I own at this point and I think it's is excellent -- I'd probably put it at #3 or #4 on my own personal GOTY list, but unless sales are significantly better in Europe, I can't see Sony funding a sequel. Such a polished game with its incredible production values and visuals had to cost a lot to make, and it's been said that an average PS3 games takes something like 500,000 sales to break even. If Sony loses their ass on Uncharted, why would they make a sequel?

I really believe Sony and Naughty Dog thought a sequel was pretty much guaranteed because they thought the chances of Uncharted being a hit were pretty much guaranteed.

NPD only accounted for two weeks of sales. Uncharted is critically acclaimed with very positive word of mouth. I wouldn't be surprised to see sales atleast double for Dec. and for them to eventually turn a profit from the game. The engine and tech is already in place for a sequel. I expect we'll see Uncharted 2 in a couple of years.

I know I should probably dig through the thread and find the answer, but is the retail gun play any differently than the demo? I didn't really like how it felt, reminded me of **** raider 2 where everyone took 15 seconds of shooting to kill. Otherwise the game seemed really cool and I'm getting closer to clearing my back log and will have some time to play something new soon.

But that's not how it usually works. AAA hyped games like Uncharted usually make the bulk of their sales in the first week, if not the first couple of days. The holiday season should help, but I doubt it doubles in sales. I doubt it even matches the November numbers.

People said the same types of things when Ratchet and Clank disappointed in its first month, but it didn't pick up in November at all.

I had a look at amazon.de charts and was quite shocked that Pro Street sells better than Uncharted...but then I saw Uncharted is sold out. That doesnt sound like lackluster sales to me.

I bet we'll see sales upwards of 2M for this game worldwide in the long run, the userbase is just building up and probably doubling over this holiday season.

If Uncharted keeps refusing to sell the only reason I could see is the game length resulting in too many people renting it. That would hopefully teach them a lesson for future games in the series.

I prefer the clean and inspired style of Ratchet, although objectively Uncharted obviously does more. Not sure why people aren't raving about it, because both lighting and shadowing is about as good as it gets these days.

I had my e-bay auction ready to go and just couldn't bring myself to list this game.
I don't feel like I have found a worthy replacement just yet.

WTF.
I wish the warhawk expansion were here. That would make this easier. :lol

The thing is, outside of a few internet message boards Uncharted wasn't really that hyped. I firmly believe that word of mouth will help Uncharted become a sleeper hit.

Bah! All of a sudden this game started freezing on me- sometimes during the load screen, sometimes even before the menu, and right now in the middle of playing. WTF? Anyone else had these problems?

Ambushed is the first level where you fend off waves of pirates on the boat. It's basically cycling to the beginning once you beat the game.

I don't know why it felt that way for you, there's a ton of one shot kills if you have the skill, I don't know if the retail version is any different but the final game is teh awesome fucking wowsome. To me the whole point of owning the PS3 is to play this game.

I just finished AC! Its back to Uncharted until Gamefly sends me another game. AC was a very good game and has a hell of a lot of potential in the sequels, but Uncharted is on another level. Also, Nolan North is by far the best voice actor on AC. Uncharted pretty much makes every other game sound stupid. It has ruined me as far as voice acting goes. Simply amazing.

Just started playing it and I already guessed the twist. Voice acting is great so far, cutscenes are unreal. My only complaint is that the PS3 (which i got today) controller's sticks ae too loose.

After playing galaxy, its hard for me to go back to 3rd person games with camera control. : (

I'm pretty sure I've guessed it too. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Anyway, just got it today and I'm liking it. Doesn't do anything new, but it does everything it does very well.

One thing it does better than any other game ever: Stairs. This is the only game to make the character look like he is properly running up/down stairs.
