Would be on the must buy list even if it was called: "Uncharted 2: Nathan Saves Christmas!" or Goes to Camp, Goes to Jail, Saves Halloween.

CrazedFiend - 387 days 2 hours ago
1.17 - S#!T YEAH!!! Now...when?
Now do the game a favor and don't bring it up til maybe the last couple of months before its released. IMHO nothing has been killing these big budget games more than the 2-3 years of waiting and OVERHYPE they've been getting.

I honestly would rather not know that a game is even in existence until right b4 it's about to drop. Even then, I don't want to know everything that's put into the game until after I've played it.

Remember what it was like b4 developers felt they had to tell us about every bit of code that they'll be putting into their game that you can't even play until your children become grandparents?

Remember games like Super Mario Bro., and how each new stage seemed like a fresh technological feat? "Wow, this stage is under ground!", "Wow, this stage is under water!", "Holy s#!t, this stage has lava!...AND THERE'S A FREAKIN' TURTLE BLOWIN' FIRE AT ME!!!"

Remember that?

I know there are a lot of people out who like to hear about every little piece of juice that gets put into these games, and I'm one of them. It's just that, when I think about things like the movie Jurassic Park, I think I was more impressed with the movie and the dinosaurs finding out that they were CG after I watched the movie rather than I would have if I knew before. Same with the 1st Matrix movie. I think games and movies are the same in that aspect. I want them to wow me first, and then tell me how they did it. Not the other way around!

I mean I hardly even care about Killzone 2 anymore because, even though I've been doing my damned best to dodge this KZ2 news shower for the past, what...3 years(?), I still feel I know too much about the game.

And I think that people that like to find out all that they can about a game as early as they can in its creation, just plain like to wait for things. I, for one, don't. So we all know that Uncharted 2 is coming. How long do we have to wait? Six months? Anything longer than that and I feel that they probably let the news slip a little too early. Don't even get me started on FFXIII. How long have we known? How much longer will we be waiting?

I know Sony had to do this for a while at first to take some of that early thunder away from X360, but it seems to have become the norm this generation. And I, for one, don't cafe for this norm.

I know I may be in the minority on this one, but does anyone else feel the same way? Or can someone explain to me why they actually LIKE to know about and wait for a game for years and years?

that trailer real time rendering?

Eitherway I can`t wait for this game, I love the first one and Naughty dog are one of the great devs of the last 10 years. Hopefully it will have zero draw in, the vines drawing in the first one where a tad annoying on my 42 inch HD set but easily ingorable. Also it should be in 1080p native this time, since the first one was only 30% of the PS3`s power it should be. The PS3 Truly is a great piece of hardware, I love mine.

and +bubble crazedfiend, I hear ya. Hype is killing many games, I just try my best to avoid it at all time.

2 - Marco Polo hmm
Sounds like the game could be set in Russia (the snowy section we know about), the Far East, the Middle East, India - I believe Marco Polo actually explored quite a few places so that's a real plus for the game! Travelling around the world treasure hunting FTW!

Why is the art for GI cover so bland? It's Uncharted 2 for crying outload. Couldn't they have used a better picture / art from the game. Also, why it's font is so small? Overall, a cool game but a not so cool cover.
Shut this user up Let user speak
thor - 387 days 17 hours ago

Whilst I agree, it doesn't really need a better cover to sell copies. I mean it's an exclusive scoop on UNCHARTED 2!

I think they are only going to show the snow environment for now. But I expect Drake to go all around the world including places like China and India. (Basing that on Marco Polo's travels)

I know they will sell but come. Original Uncharted's GI cover was simple but awesome. Drake deserves a better cover IMO.

And everyone thinks "Ooh, it's Atlantis" and then the big reveal is that it's not Atlantis, it's Mu.

Has drake taken a more stealthy approach this time?

Or has he got with the wrong crowd?

10.1 - Wrong crowd as in Solid Snake?
Lol, Snake went on vacation with Nathan Drake

Snake's on a plane!!! Airplane crashes in snowy area.

Nathan has to utilize stealth skills learned from Snake in order to survive.

At the end, Nathan reaches a fortress in the snowy area. As he gets closer, the player realizes he has reached Shadow Moses!!!

Possibly one of the most underated and overlooked games of this console generation, i personally can't wait for number 2.

If they can solve the screen tearing this time round (Only real bad thing about the game) the game will be near perfect.

well i do admit that there were some screen tearing here and there but it wasnt enough to ruin the overall experience i had with the game.....5 times... im actually considering about buying uncharted again(even tho i already have platinum for this game). regretted selling the game to some guy for $40 back in February

edit: this is what screen tearing looks like... it only happens for a split-second
