Syronicus5323d ago

Naughty Dog did all of this without having to ship one single swag bag! Kudos to ND for a great game and to Sony for knowing who to have as their developers. They sure know how to pick 'em!

Montrealien5322d ago

Naughty Dog did all of this by simply making a great game! Kudos to ND for a great game and to Sony for knowing who to have as their developers. They sure know how to pick 'em!

What is with IGN never giving a 9.6? Every awesome games is a 9.0-9.5 and IGN US said this is the best PS3 game and the only gripe is that the stealth mechanic wasn't clearly explained the first -- yeah, that deserves half a point off :/

*waits for more people to cry that 9.5 is too low*

nix5323d ago

but seriously... this game looks way better than GTAIV which got more perfect scores. i don't trust IGN that much after their Heavenly Sword review (7/10), where they gave it a low score because the game was too short and GTAIV which i thought was a worst GTA ever!

and many months later... HALO ODST gets 9/10 even if the game is as short as HS.

so go figure!

siyrobbo5323d ago

i thought that gta4 was excellent, it deserved a lot of its prsise. the only thing holding it back for me was the cars handling, took a long while to get used to

Bathyj5323d ago

When all I can say is Brutal Legend must be pretty good if its only half a point below Uncharted.

Montrealien5322d ago (Edited 5322d ago )

Well nix, I must say, if Heaveanly Sword offered a little more then the short single player, I don`t think it would have been such a low score. With that said HS was still an amazing game, the perfect definition of short and sweet.

Uncharted 2 is receiving great scores, yet is still on the short side for the single player, about 10 hours on a normal play through. But it offers so much replay value and an amazing online component I am not surpised by the high scores and I would not of been suprised if it got a lower score if all it had was the amazing yet short single player experience. I think the same could be said about games like GTA 4, Halo 3 and ODST. That`s just my opinion though, take it with a grain of salt and try not to be insulted by it.

Darkfocus5322d ago

demons souls got a 9.4 its only .1 away from uncharted 2 and its the best game I've played this gen gameplay wise

Marquis_de_Sade5322d ago

Nix, you're clearly incapable of thinking for yourself, so let me do it for you, Heavenly Sword, while a good game, IS short and single player only. Halo 3 ODST on the other hand has a single player campaign in addition to firefight and the complete Halo 3 online experience.

Because 'IGN Uncharted 2 AU Review' is obviously a Halo 3 ODST review

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

P_Bomb1467d ago (Edited 1467d ago )

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_Mal1466d 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_Bomb1466d ago (Edited 1466d 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.

MadLad1467d 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.

Profchaos1467d ago (Edited 1467d 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

Rimeskeem1467d ago

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

Movefasta19931466d 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.

The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
