No one likes to be surprised now at days. Everyone wants to know whats in the game before its out.

I've seen almost too much from those making of videos.

Violater6061d ago

I thought the Ps3 didn't have great games?
[end sarcasm]

jay36061d ago

Buhh..

Buhh...

Your a twat.

fenderputty6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

nevermind ... the game is intensly awesome.

Daytona6061d ago

It's only an ok game, not great.
There's nothing being done graphically speaking that you won't already find on the Wii,right?
It's probably going to be very fun to play, but not mind blowing at all. I know b/c it's a new ps3 game that you all have to pretend it's the end all to be all b/c your desperate for a game but it's just not that good.

C_SoL6061d ago

Shut the fu(k up. obviously you don't know sh*t about good games. r u blind, this video quality is sh*tty. if you saw it on HDTV it would be amazed. 1.4 your heads just full of sh*t.....

anyways this game is a must have for PS3 owners. its gonna be a AAAAAAAA. ya that many A's believe me.

now i know the old man dies, dammit it & he can swim, i did not know that. oh well im still getting it.

nasim6060d ago

dude...just please stop.. i can't take it anymore.. seriously, im gonna go crazy. Did you see the water? good god, i have never seen it like that, like.. real.. transparent.. water.. this game is too much.

wil4hire6061d ago

spent time getting the index of refraction correct for the water. Instead of just using a pixel filter to distort/reflect the world. In previous screens, you can see that the legs/limbs/rocks, that go under the warer are distorted by refraction.

This engine is amazing.

sonarus6061d ago

if this game is as good to play as it is to watch the easy game of the yr for ps3. Ratchet and clank will come close but uncharted is jst too tough to beat. I already got ma dualshock pre ordered jst for this. I got it from yes asia. Hopefully it gets hear before uncharted cus i prob wnt be able to wait. My only fear for this game is the length. I forget how long it is hopefully its longer than hsword a good 2-3 hrs longer

Skerj6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

LMFAO oh man I thought that was real until he got into the kitchen. What were we talking about before? Oh yeah Uncharted, yeah I'm getting it.

The winkface = true, everybody knows that!!

Godoftheweek6061d ago

Wow....thats some funny fracking shet

Jen5en6061d ago

Warning! Hype-train acceleration unstable!

wil4hire6061d ago

I think its just excitement.

GamerPERIOD6061d ago

Tooooooooot toooooooooooot!

(did look pretty dang good though)

Skerj6061d ago

Lmao@Uncharted "Jungle Juice" soda commercials.

sjappie6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

Graphics look good, not amazing however. I think this will be the best game for ps3 this year.

@ just louie. FACT = opinion. Guess it goes both ways, huh?

Leg-End6061d ago

the second-best looking game ever!! (crysis just beats it on a decent pc) killzone 2 is 3rd imo

AnalFace6061d ago

not amazing in your opinion. But looks better than anything on 360, FACT

Jen5en6061d ago

@Leg-End

Well that depends really, when we say this game looks better than that game. There are a lot of comparisons these days, and obviously Uncharted vs. Crysis is one of them. Truth be told though, these scores can never be settled since it all depends on perspective. We all remember F.E.A.R: though it had the latest state-of-the-art technology in it's engine, it still looked bland. Same thing with Crysis, to some extent. Its engine has an amazing ability to render lush jungles, but the developers aren't maximizing that potential; as soon as you get indoors in Crysis things are starting to look bland. Crytek usually developes some new technology that's gonna blow the doors off of the imagination, yet still we're stuck with the 'Commando-storms-concrete-bunk er-in-North-Korean-jungle" -setting.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is that graphics can be compared on two very different terms - technologically or artistically, and IMO Crysis wins on the tech side, hands down, but, contrarywise, Uncharted wins bigtime on the artistic. Again... my view.

fenderputty6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

The part where it's a PS3 game and not for 360? This game looks better then ANYTHING on a console out now. Nothing on a console looks this good. We'll see what happens next year but, after this game is released a new bar will be set. Pull your blinders off man.

sjappie6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

I think I said only positive things about the game, what's your problem?
For the game it's trying to be, the gfx, to me aren't amazing, they're good. I prefer the more realistic look of COD4.

@below. The only hate present here, is yours. Like I said, I didn't bash the game whatsoever. What's your problem man? You just wrote your comment, so I figure you must be able to read exactly what I said, right?

shysun6061d ago

It one of the best looking console games ever.Hate all you want but thats the truth!

Meus Renaissance6061d ago

"For the game it's trying to be, the gfx, to me aren't amazing, they're good. I prefer the more realistic look of COD4."

I'm not attacking but you do realise you have Halo 3 right? I didn't expect many people who own the game to be criticising another game just based on its visuals when it clearly looks a joy to play. Halo 3 is fun to play yet does not having amazing visuals and it certainly is not realistic.

That didn't make sense.

sjappie6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

that I bought it and returned it the next day, wich I knew was going to happen, cause I never liked it. It is just still in my last played list.

And for gods sake, I wasn't criticising the game!!!! The only reason I'm getting attacked is because I said the gfx weren't amazing. Jeez.

@ Pistolpete below. Thank you! Sanity ain't widespread these days in these regions.
People here are like the Borg, you must be assimilated.

Oh, Pete, I would like to be referred to as "someone", not "somethign". Thanks again.

pilotpistolpete6061d ago

Man, people here are vicious. It seems no one can have an opinion without being bashed. So somethign thinks the gfx aren't amazing. Big deal, it's his opinion.

Keep bashing away, and soon enough this site will be a homogenized place where everyone says the same thing on every comment.

It's like you people don't realise that not everyone shares your opinion. Not everyone will like Uncharted, thats a fact. I'm sure the game won't sell 5 million copies in the first week. There's a reason for that.

Violater6061d ago

It looks great no doubt, to me it looks amazing sometimes and that is subjective.
As for COD4 the same can be said.
Though its kinda hard to compare Uncharted to anything else given its Art Direction. So i think its pointless comparing apples and oranges and just enjoy the really sweet ones for what they are.
One thing I must say about Uncharted and Ratchet, they look flawlessly clean in HD.

BIGWILLDX6061d ago

the graphics are better than bioshock

hazeblaze6061d ago

I'm not sure who, if anyone, is actually attacking you... but if the gfx in Uncharted don't look amazing then no game really does. Assassin's Creed about as good in my opinion but Uncharted is definitely among the best looking games this holiday both stylistically and gameplay wise.

skitzoid6060d ago

we see the game running on our sets while seeing them for ourselves "BUT" from everything I have seen in HD videos these are easily among the best visuals in gaming today.

As far as sjappie (I prefer the more realistic look of COD4.) I would like to know your opinion on Bioshocks graphics because I always felt the character models don't fit the game. As you said about COD4 I just don't think they are realistic. Oh and BTW, I am not putting down Bioshock. The visuals are excellent but they didn't come close to wowing me like Gears did.

R&C and Uncharted (from the demo of R&C and HD videos) "do" wow me.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel11030d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_921030d ago (Edited 1030d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno1030d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh1030d ago (Edited 1030d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy1030d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel19891030d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman1030d ago (Edited 1030d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando0081029d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia1030d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver1030d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel19891030d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?

Ninver1030d ago

@michiel1989

Not sure
