Uncharted 2 Is Smarter than You

Game director Bruce Straley has given CVG some insight into how Uncharted 2's AI will make for a much more challenging experience.

The game's new stealth element has inspired Naughty Dog to create some very lifelike enemies. "As a result of expanding our gameplay to account for action-stealth, there are two new behaviours added to enemies, 'investigate' and 'hunt,'" Straley told them.

You know, that's a smart thing they did. It means you can lose your enemies and not have them cheat and know where you are all the time.

1.9 - Uncharted had a few amazing AI moments, but I loved whe you'd run out of ammo.
If you were close enough a guy would say "HES OUT OF AMMO" and rush up.

MGS + Uncharted = Epic Win. Looks like the Goty awards this year will be Sonys.

Exactly what I was thinking, and a combination of Farcry 2.

Talking about FC2 ? Yep, I agree. These guys sneak up on you. You can cheat them, though. Shoot at one, duck down, flank them come back and the guy is on your old location searching for you. Bang, dead :)

As long as its like that, that is pretty awesome. Not like Battlefield, where that damn sniper can see you from miles away even if you are hiding in the bushes. As soon as he sees you, there's no hiding any more.

Hope they really get that right in UC2. Man, if they can drop down from a wall behind you, that gives me the chill.

I've lost count of the number of times devs have said their AI is "The Best Ever" but only to be disappointed by standard crap AI.

Maybe Naughty Dog will pull it off, but I'll have to play it to believe it.

They didn't call it the best AI ever, lol, they're just saying that it's evolving. I have faith in Naughty Dog, I mean look at MGS4's AI, this seems pretty similar and hopefully they pull it off.

True enough, I overreacted. Hopefully they do improve the AI but as I said I've still been burned by AI claims before.

8 - It sounds nice,
but if the first game was challenging for me, I think is going to be a nightmare :-x with those mentioned updates. Not saying it'd be crap, just that it'd be frustrating for me that is.

I'm hoping that Uncharted 2 trades enemy health for intelligence. In Uncharted 1, enemies had WAY too much health. I'd rather have a small number of enemies that are very intelligent than a lot of dumb, but powerful enemies.

8.2 - If you're talking about "Crushing" difficulty
then I give you that - they were very challenging because they sneak towards you much closer and much faster.

But if you struggled with "normal", then pfft, try sticking with the pistol.

Well, it can be tiresome, I agree. If you need to constanlty watch out if there's someone sneaking up on you from behind, this can be a real challenge. I'd say fine in hard mode, maybe a bit over the top on "casual". But as long as these guys can't respawn forever, it will a lot to the gameplay.

When I beated Uncharted 1 in crushing mode, i promised "i'm giving up on another "finish the game in crushing mode".."

Damm.. that will be a real challenge..

:) yeah I'm talking about normal difficulty. I just play games for their stories and fun, so I'm not hard core gamer thus the reason these things bug me, but I don't let them prevent me from purchasing the game.

10 - i just hope
that there arent as many waves a spirates in the first one..remember when the plane crashed and as soon as you crossed the log pirates came out of no where..or when you were with sully in the church (and outside) man i just hope it gets leveled out..either way a must buy for any ps3 owner

11 - Hope the music will be just as good.
I loved the increasing tension the music always portrayed whenever you was in a middle of a combat.

And I hope all this AI doesn't make it too complicated. The 1st one was an easy to pickup kinda game that helped maintain the fun factor for me. It felt like REAL game yet an awesome experience at the same time.

U:DF was excellent. Story, not to say the least, was golden.

I was unimpressed by the screenshots of the first one, but the demo did me actually buy it, even if it [the demo] was a bit dry. From now on I am a diehard Uncharted fan.
