VG247: Naughty Dog's Evan Wells has just said in a live chat over at the US Blog that a release date is still forthcoming but the date will be announced "very soon."

Along with this ~

"And of course our Cinema mode allows you to play back any of your matches and view it from ANY angle. You'll also be able to upload those recordings so others can download them and view them on their PS3's. You'll also be able to upload screenshots from that mode as well."

the description of PlayStation Cloud.

Johnny Rotten5432d ago (Edited 5432d ago )

They announced that their engine uses cloud...

Q: What crazy technical terms can you throw at us, that the ND Engine 2.0 boasts?

A: Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, deferred rendering, cloud computing, paralax mapping, high dynamic range tonemapping, per object motion blur, cascade shadows, sub surface scattering simulation...

edit below: that's what I figured but since they mentioned it as a spec for their engine it might be utilized in this manner?

TheHater5432d ago

I was referring to the video capture and screen capture.

Oner5432d ago

I read that too Johnny but totally missed those 2 little words ~ cloud computing...nice catch

Late Sept or Early Oct

makes sense since the gamestop mutiplayer preorder demo ends 9/28

Tarasque5432d ago

Regardless of what the release date is, it is not soon enough.

it's a graphical comparison between Uncharted 2 and Gears Of War 2.

Jaws will be dropped.

TheBand1t5432d ago

That's a comparison of Uncharted 1 and Gears 2.

CaptainKratos5432d ago

cryymoar5432d ago

date says January 31, 2009.
Uncharted 1 came out November 19, 2007.
dunno why anyone would do a comparison so late.

CaptainKratos5432d ago

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

P_Bomb1472d ago (Edited 1472d 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_Mal1472d 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_Bomb1471d ago (Edited 1471d 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.

MadLad1473d 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.

Profchaos1472d ago (Edited 1472d 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

Rimeskeem1472d ago

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

Movefasta19931472d 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.
