I'm impressed beyond words. Holy fucking god. The combat feels so awesome.
Check my post history, it looks like I hate sony pretty awfully much, but I'll say this. I played the Drakes Fortune demo at Wizard World Chicago and it was an orgasm to my eyes and hands, so big bubba can suck a fart (imo) because I for once am excited for a sony game.

OOOK, what's even more INCREDIBLE is the fact that the FUCKING demo title is in spanish, as well as the information and everything, but the thing simply doesn't work. That's AMAZING SONY. Just fuck off.
Was anyone else having trouble doing the triangle square triangle combo or whatever it was? For some reason it never registered the second button I pressed. It could be a controller issue, though.
One cool thing is the blurring of the environment that occurs whenever you swing the camera around the character. It gives it a cinematic flare that's lacking in most other games. All complaints aside, the game definitely does succeed in creating a cinematic experience. The music is great.

I'm impressed. Very impressed. I didn't think Uncharted would be my type of game (usually not into Tomb Raider-esque games)...but after playing the demo it is likely that I will pick it up.
Graphics are amazing, controls are great, and the interactivity with the environment is very, very nice. Just seems so fluid, smooth, and natural. Feels right.
And yes, I didn't like the Ratchet demo for PS3. I guess I am not a PS3 troll anymore? :lol

So he goes ahead and throws money down on a pre-order? If you generally don't like a genre, you might rent a game... not run out of your way to pre-order a game as if you might not be able to get it on day one. There's some great disconnect with this guy, but hey it's his money. My only problem is all "I was expecting this" or "i was expecting that", when he could have done ten minute research and seen this game is not those things.

Wow, thanks for the impressions. The other thread is getting a bit heated. Maybe a few of the other PAL PS3 owners should settle down in this forum and read of the promising future.
The game sounds like everything I was hoping for. Could you tell me though if you thought the game could easily go up against some of the more popular and critically acclaimed titles like Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, and Assasin's Creed? Is this something that European PS3 owners should be eagerly anticipating? How are the vehicular chases and such? Others would probably like to know if there is screen tearing. Could you comment on that? By the way, what company are you reviewing the game for? Look forward to the full review.P.S.: I'm not even European, but I just want things to calm down a little. Seriously! Its becoming a bit much. Thank you so much for the impressions.
This thread is about to get one big boost!

god damn the enemies wont stop moving, they will dodge your bullets like no ones business. If you let them idle you see some will put their guns down and smoke a cig, in firefights, one was hding behind a wall and got on his stomach and crawled slowly to the edge to try and shoot at me.
They move, they wont sit still, they will take cover and come at you in groups.
the absolute GREATEST thing is when you die, NO LOADING SCREEEN! It literally fades to black for 1 second and your back at the last check point. Animation is awesome, switching guns reloading, everything super quick off the D-Pad.
I think theres an error in the demo because it said to hit Square Triangle Square to do some crazy combo, but triangle wouldnt do anything.
Anyway i love how you can climb to the top of walls and shoot over the walls, you can change the over the shoulder from left to right by hitting L3.
The game is great, cant wait.

Controls are day i say PERFECT. I had no problem at all jumping into the game. I played on hard difficulty and enjoyed the whole damn thing.
Played the demo about half an hour ago.
The controls work well even on default settings. The cover system is great, alot of similarities to Gears which is a very good thing. It's not quite perfect as I found myself sometimes taking cover rather than rolling, but I'll get used to it. The gunplay seemed good for me. Can't comment on melee combat as I didn't get much of an opportunity to try it.
Graphics and animations are absolutely gorgeous, 'nuff said.
Day one purchase for me.

I bought Bioshock and Orange Box blindly, without even bothering with demos/trying them out first. Some of us have more money than sense, I'm afraid.Amir0x said:

To me it honestly feels somewhat like Gears when it comes to covering but obviously there isn't as much emphasis on TEH HUGE BADAZZ GUNZ -- not that anyone thought it would, just throwing it out there. Like I said the combat just feels good, as Nathan's and the enemies' animation is INCREDIBLE. Fighting is just very fun and fluid overall.
The platforming is fine, I haven't made it too far yet but I don't have a problem with it. The visuals are just simply eye-popping; I've seen videos of this game for I don't even know how long and actually playing it is something else. The lighting is surreal, especially on the vegetation.

Oh good, so you played one of the greatest gaming values of all time and the best Xbox 360 game to date. Good stuff, good stuff. But hey, I hope you didn't go into them expecting, say, Oblivion. Because I suspect you have a few brain cells, and research these products.

Wow dude. Heavenly sword looks good, but the thing runs at 20 fps. Uncharted is butter smooth and looks amazing.
I had no intention of buying this game, but after playing the demo that changed. First the game looks so damn good. The water and waterfalls just look flat out stunning. The controls and gameplay felt good. The hand to hand combat is something else. Really nicely done. The gun play felt perfect. The only problem I have with the game is when you get ambushed by a lot of enemies it gets really hard really fast. Because some enemies will shoot at you from a distance, while others will close down on you and fire at you from point blank range. And I would not encourage you to run around just shooting wildly, you'll get you ass dropped fast doing that. Take cover, but be aware, it's not safe to just camp there, you have to keep moving.
Oh also,
The music and sound effects are top notch.
The animations are really well done. Drake dodging bullets as he runs is cool to watch.
