It's down for maintenance
ok... so grapics look better than on latest PSN trailers. Yes, better.
Floating is almost gone, still not perfect in demo... but wow at rest of the graphics. I never saw game looking this good (yes, better than RC). My wife asked what movie is it... then she asked if I was supposed to die in the movie (since game is pretty hard, i died few times). You got to be smart and use cover system a lot.
Overall combat is pretty damn good... I dont really play action/adventure games a lot (I hated Oblivion, I know its RPG but still), but I dig this.. controls feel really good, and shooting feels really good.
Pretty damn good overall. I hope AC plays close to this since I will be picking it up soon.

i bet the demo has every other european language, just like the Ratchet demo.
once again, i DOUBT this is region region locked, but some kind of problem with the demo itself
and this is not funny guys
picture yourself in this situation. i bet Kittonwy wouldn't be making jokes about the blog being region locked

Insane For Sony
Euroguys, the reason why the demo is asking you to "insert disc" is because it's trying to find various European voice assets, which are just not there in the demo.

What is this SITE MAINTENANCE NOTICE bullshit!? I want my uncharted! Other people seeing this? Has it happened before / how long will it last? Garrrrrr!
I have a question for you. People have said in this thread that this game has a shotgun. How does it feel to shoot the crowd pleaser off at close range? Does it feel good? I usually use the shotgun as a gauge on how good the it feels to shoot things in this game.brandonh83 said:

Can someone who has played the demo answer this question:
I have been keeping up with all the previews and such, but everything I have seen so far centers around the graphics, animations, story, dialogue, character interaction, etc., in other words I haven't seen much to do with the actual gameplay.
So does this game have the gameplay to back up its technological flair? I don't want to spend $60 on a game of technological dick waving that puts gameplay in the back seat... but now that the demo is out hopefully I can be proven wrong here so I will buy it when I get my PS3 in a few weeks?

Nah, I went in expecting FPSs, knowing I don't usually like FPSs, hoping these would be ones that would interest me since everyone was saying such nice things.Amir0x said:

Beat it on normal. Long story short, this is PS3's Gears of War. The only real divergence it has in terms of combat is that you can't switch seamlessly from cover to cover and you can't do the crouch run. On the other hand, you get a far better melee system. I jump punched one guy and it was awesome. Otherwise, the combat is pretty similar. Enemy AI is also good. They duck and cover and try to flank you. I got flanked a couple of times in the demo but it was easy enough to deal with. You get regenerative health as is the norm in these types of games nowaday. Like Gears, you are only allowed to carry four weapons, two of which are your trust pistol and grenades.
The Sixaxis implementation seems okay. Didn't really mess with it much. It only came up when you're tiptoeing across some logs and when you throw grenades. Wasn't much of a problem.
Graphically, the game looks amazing. If you thought R&C was a looker, you've got to see this game in action. There is barely even any tearing in the game and not one framerate drop. The only small instance where I noticed the tearing was when I aimed with my pistol and moved the camera back and forth quickly. Strangely, it only happened that one time and when I repeated the trick, it was normal for the most part.
There are also instances of platforming albeit they are pretty light in the demo. Just jumping from ledge to ledge.
Anyway, day one purchase confirmed.

After playing the demo twice, I think this game is probably going to be around an 8 to and 8.5.
Basch said: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.
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!
Well, I only played the CoD4 demo and I think it sucked. :lol But for the rest, I don't know how well the other games will turn out. I think if the other games are as good as they are hyped, they will be slightly 'better' (if you can say it like that) than Uncharted.
The point is, the game is great in every single aspect. But I never had the idea I was playing a pure classic, that I was impressed all the time and that I would like to kiss the feet of the developers because of this masterpiece. The game IS great, but I never had the feeling I had with for example Mafia and Resident Evil 4.
I'm reviewing for Gamer.nl in The Netherlands. Review is embargoed, but I already know what rating out of 10 I'll give it.

I cannot believe that the PSN store cant handle one big demo, my lord.
I just finished it and oh wow. I love shooting bits. Felt like a real shoot out to me. It's so satisfying when shooting these guys. I ran out of ammo and there was one guy left and I just waited til he started reloading and I went at him with my combo. After I killed them all in the first courtyard, I realized there were barrels X_X!
Yeah, there is bit of screen tearing when you look around but that doesn't distract from the game.
And this is from someone who hasn't spoiled himself from looking at vids and reading on the gameplay.
I love it and hope it gets better the more farther you get into it.

There are previews out there on all major sites commenting on gameplay
Well, games are expensive, and I am not very fond of single player-only games unless they are very great and worth playing over and over again. I want to know how it plays so I can buy it or look elsewhere for PS3 games.

Hm, I doubt people will be as favorable to this game as they were to, say, Gears of War. The mechanics it stole from that game aren't really fresh at this point, and I think people are lessing willing to give the Naughty Dog game quirks a "free pass" anymore... possibly because of the internet, possibly because they're fed up with them, or possibly because of the subconscious negative connotation with the PS3. I know I'd automatically give any PS3 game a 8 or less by default at the moment, but I do not claim to be free of bias!

I think the magazine's have all hit their limits for the amount of games they're allowed to give nines in any given season already.

Hard to base review projections on the demo. The game made huge strides late in the development process (as many games tend to do) and it's unknown how old the demo code is.
Just got done playing. Awesome game. On hard mode (what I played on) the game is, well, hard. Enemies put up a good fight, as in I died quite a few times. I really liked the platforming. Excellent graphics. Excellent animations. Overall great package. Will probably end up being my GOTY(this or GoW 2). I would go on, but the word limit on my PSP is running out.
