Anyone who doubted it was real-time obviously haven't played the first Uncharted. The animations maybe tweeked, but that's about it

1.1 - Uncharted 2 will be insanely awesome
Uncharted 1 was AMAZING! Not just visually but every aspect was incredible.

Uncharted 2 will do the unthinkable - Surpass Uncharted 1's quality.

Fall of 2009 when Uncharted 2 releases the universe will implode.

I didn't like shooting mechanism of uncharted. May be not so much mechanism but running out of bullet was pain. I know it will give more strategic approach but some of us are not good with aiming.
Graphic, Humor and story was top notch though.

I really want to play uncharted 2 but I hope they give more bullet this time. Otherwise, I just rent it.

I loved the fact that you were always scrambling for bullets. Made you use different types of weapons because you were desperate for anything, and it also added a great sense of urgency/danger.

Uncharted had a realism albeit a relaxed version. I liked the fact you didn't have endless ammunition to sit back a spray. I loved the fact I would run out and have to run dive roll and fight the next guy barehanded. By the way Treyarch, this is how the fighting in Quantum of Solace should have been.

Agree with Final_RPG. When you're running out of ammo, its where the adrenaline pumps fast.

Btw, since you're talking about that already, maybe ND could introduce weapons besides firearms. That'd be a nice addition.

You'd have to be a PS3 hater to doubt that the teaser was running in real-time. How many of you morons even played Drake's Fortune? The correct answer is NONE, apparently. And another thing: Gametrailer's videos look washed out 100% of the time. Can't wait to see it running on my 50" Sony Bravia.

your the reason developers make games for the casual gamer..."its too hard waaaaaaa". dude it was good because it made u choose your shots wisely rather than spraying every possible corner of the map with bullets.

I read a long time ago that melee weapons were one of the things that Naughty Dog said they ran out of time to include in Uncharted 1, but that they would have liked to have included them. I think it's almost certain we'll see a lot of them in Uncharted 2.

Ofcourse GOW3/KZ2 surpasses Uncharted but nothing else comes close

1.14 - ammo
Uncharted sucked for me 'coz of ammo running out. I still think, it should have easy mode or may be cheat option after you beat the game once that you can unlock extra ammo.

don't hate me for this but that's how I felt 'coz its basically shooting + adventure game. It has as much as shooting involved.

Did you try unlocking "Unlimited ammo"?

Haha...I can't believe you said that, dude. I don't want to bash you or anything...but it was in there. Plus, you can unlock any weapon in the game to use at any time.

Also...who is SO BAD at Uncharted that they ran out of bullets at any point? Did you people not like RE4 either?

I guess it's safe to say that GOW 3 is going to be the graphical powerhouse that everyone says it's going to be.

There was a rumor about a week ago that Sony had a private showing of GOD3, Uncharted 2, and I believe Killzone 2 or Heavy Rain.

And what happens a new trailer of Uncharted 2 comes out, with I'm hoping a more detailed trailer of both Uncharted 2 and GOW 3 being shown at the VGA's on Dec. 14.

It seem every rumor about the PS3 is coming true, and I know 2009 will turn the tide in the console war. I expect FF13 to be out in Japan (import baby), Killzone 2 to be great, Heavy Rain to be great, Crysis to come to the PS3 (I have a pretty nice computer but not a Crysis running one), Infamous, MAG, GOW 3 (possibly may get moved to March 2010), Uncharted 2 (loved the first one), Home to be in full effect, PS3 price cut, and just so much more.

n4gzz - Maybe you should just learn to aim better. It's actually really easy. Just hold down the L1 button and but the circle on your target. Go for a head shot and you won't use much ammo. And sometimes just run up to the enemy and fight them to save ammo. When you finsh an area run around and find all the ammo laying around. I've finished the game on normal a couple times and didn't run into an ammo problem that much. Most of the time when you get low you'll have another big fight. Run up and kill a couple guys and grab their ammo.

@1.10

even better than MGS4? all the cutscenes were rendered with the in-game engine and that looked amazing as well. except for the in and out 60fps, like in less detailed sections of the game. im sure everyone else noticed that as well.

I am learning to aim but I moved from pc. It takes time. I am pretty good on COD4 3.22 k/d but I suck at R2 .86 both on ps3. I don't know what but I was just not good on head shot on uncharted. Either way Head shot should be 1 or may be 2 kill but it wasn't like that on uncharted.
I got so frustrated that I didn't even bother after first play through. I literally threw disc away so many times and told myself never touching it again but I put it back and played again.

oh about RE4. I beat that game so many times and I actually had handcock (i think thats what it is called) unlocked.

1.23 - you guys were scrambling for bullets?
it's called headshots, people!

the only time i've come CLOSE to running out of bullets is when i was playing it on CRUSHING mode. that difficulty truly lives up to it's namesake, and enemies seem to take more shots to take down (while you take less, of course).

playing on Easy, Normal, and Hard, i never had trouble with ammo.

on average, an enemy takes 1 shot to take down with a head shot (unless you graze him and knock off his hat), 3 shots to take down (body shots), and 4 shots to take down when it's a shotgun guy, or the later enemies that wear armor.

while ammo isn't a never-ending sea, most gamers shouldn't have trouble keeping their gun stocked. also, there's something satisfying about running low on ammo, vaulting over a barrier, rushing forward, and drop kicking then enemy in the teeth, and getting 2Xs the ammo from him when he falls.

neither of the 2 losers above have played the game. Yet feel compelled to pretend that they have and even comment on it. What does that say about them?

PS: solidus, like I said if you've played the game you'd know that the new trailer looks almost identical to the cutscenes in the first. Seriously, it's been 2 years and people still don't believe those graphics are possible. that's a major compliment.

Gears2(my GOTY)... play it and loved it, but you talk about Uncharted looking like plastic and then compare it to Gears of war?
Come on now, have some common sense.(or change your name)
Gears has plastic all around it. Everything in there, shines giving you that cheap plastic feeling. At times rocks didnt look rocks. They looked like big chuncky pieces of meat.
Whereas Uncharted, their textures feel rough. Almost makes me want to lick it.

At times i would die because its graphics distracted me.

As for the chracter models....those big muscular clay looking models?
The ones with chicklet teeth? The ones running around with nerf guns?
i dont kno why you guys like them so much. There nothing to brag about.

1.31 - @ the fake solidsnakus:
NO ONE SAID THE FIRST 2005 KILLZONE 2 TRAILER WAS REAL-TIME IN-GAME.
And the same goes for the God of War 3 trailer.

Have you even seen the recent Killzone 2 trailer, comparing it to the first trailer, it doesn't disappoint at all. It impresses.
You're just a clueless sheep, following the 360 fanboy herd of ignorance and PS3 hatred.

There's seriously nothing worse than the Gears of War 2 mega-bullshots.

And just in case I wasn't clear enough. The Uncharted 2 trailer was clearly in real-time. There was nothing "CG" about it. In fact, it was the same character model from the first game. You can tell the snow was being rendered in real-time, as well as textures.

I sense some envy in your part.

It was real-time,no doubt about it. For anyone who has played the first one that shouldn't be so hard to believe. Besides, the developers confirmed it. Are people really claiming that they are lying? It does look amazing though so I guess I can see how some people might have been confused.

1.35 - common sense?
Since you are expecting this I will fully ridicule you comment.

First you say the game wasn't "AMAZING", well I was amazed, so that must mean something.

Then you say the game was repetitive. WTF? Any game ever made would fit into your description of it being repetitive.

You say that the action was clunky, and I can understand were your coming from. Some times the animations got in the way of quick movement.

Then come frankly the stupidest thing you said so far, you said that the animations were repetitive and that the forests looked plastic. And, well, Uncharted had the most animations I've ever seen, do you hate when people walk because it looks the same every time? And show me a game with a better looking jungle then Uncharted. There aren't many

This is not being "restarted" or being a fanboy, this is me liking a good game. The fact is that every argument you made could be applied to any other game this gen. I can understand that you didn't like the game, but that does not make people wrong if they do.

1.38 - What is the big fuss about?
Even though the textures are great it did not fool me one sec that it was not real time. Very good, but not WOW. If you want WOW, you will not find it on consoles. PC is where you will be wowed by graphics. The 360 and PS3 have been on par for a while with the edge going to 360 with most multiplatform games. I can not see one thing about Uncharted that can not be done on the 360. Where does uncharted use that super FLOP (FLoating point Operations Per Second) power of the ps3? I have seen the game, it beautiful, but not revolutionary.

1.39 - Until MGS4
Uncharted was the best looking console game. The textures, lighting, extremely high polygon counts (2-3 times those of gears), animation, etc... were all best in class, an amazing achievement. Usually games are tops in one or two areas but this game was tops in a number of technical categories.

Uncharted 2 has to go up against MGS4 and KZ2. Tough but if anyone can do it it's Naughty Dog.

Gears 2 is not the most technically impressive game on console. In fact, it's not even the most technically impressive on the 360. If you look at side-by-side shots with Gears 1 of the same buildings you can see that for Gears 2 they reduced the actual draw-distance (more blurring and fogging) and polygon counts. You can easily see where they removed details from environment objects.

you could possibly be a LITTLE bit bias? i mean, it IS your game you're talking about...

of course, i agree, i've yet to see a game with textures as sharp as in Uncharted. even when scrutinized up close, they hold up (if you get TOO close, a nice blur affect happens).

Uncharted, to me, i still the best looking console game i've played.

2.6 - @ Figboy
Uncharted has the best textures of any full 3D action game, not any console game. The best textures of any console game are in LBP.

Uncharted not only has unmatched texture quality for a game of that type, but, as you said, has a smart LOD where they mimic an out of focus effect (blur) when you're too close. Uncharted also remains tops in character detail with 2-3 times the polygon counts of other games on either console. The character detail, the expressions, and animation are superb for not just the main characters but the entire cast.
