That Uncharted 2 box-art looks badly photo-shopped. Theres even some weird yellow decoration at the bottom right-hand corner of the box-art.
I'm calling this crap fake.

PirateThom5412d ago

That yellow thing is the website's logo.

doctorstrange5412d ago

Ah good they look the same, I was worried that we may get something ugly

LarVanian5412d ago

I stand corrected. Still it looks kinda off. Some parts including the age rating and the PLAYSTATION 3 logo look blurry.

FamilyGuy5412d ago

Really, as long as the games are the same who cares?

dylandurden5412d ago

Also, the age limit (16) shouldn't be yellow... Never seen a yellow one before O_o

PirateThom5412d ago

They recently changed the icons for the ages ratings.

It looks like one of those old SNES games boxarts...

shadow27975412d ago

Wow, the American box art actually looks a lot better. If that's real anyway.

Still, after seeing nearly that exact same image since the teaser in December, I was hoping the boxart would be something new. Still, I'm excited for October 13th! I was afraid it would release later.

If you look on the right side of where he's hanging it has a name or word on the ledge. It says Rooh or Robh, I don't know what it means though >.<

@4.2

Isnt there a totum Pole missing as well?

shadow27975412d ago (Edited 5412d ago )

There's background images in the American version, such as an idol of some sort (totem poll) and a page with writing (journal?). The American version also shows more of the falling train car. The American version has a bluer tint which gives it a more dramatic feel, in my opinion. Finally, there's a snowy border on the bottom of the American version.

If this really is the European boxart, then it didn't take very much effort at all. My guess is that this is a fake Photoshop job. If it's not, then I'm glad I'm buying it in US.

Edit: Why in the world is my post above his VV

The American boxart is more BLUEISH and this one is more silverish

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1473d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1473d ago (Edited 1473d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1474d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1473d ago (Edited 1473d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1474d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931473d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
