Hmm, I am surprised that the teaser for part 2 slipped through the cracks or maybe I am terrible at searching but yeah this was announced at the VGA... well shown at the VGAs and now there are some new screens, but might have to post teaser as well.

I wonder if this one will contain Morlocks aswell.

Main character model is a bit ugly, the rest looks good. Never played the original of course.

Uncharted was a really good game, and I loved the Indiana Jones story. But I don't know whether it was the character animation or the framerate, but the game always made me dizzy, and I got a headache when I played for more than an hour.

I hope the second one doesn't have whatever problem the first game had that made me dizzy.

Thank god. I loved the first game. I can't wait now.

I liked the first one well enough, but I hope combat is easier.

It hardly ever made sense to do since whenever you got someone in the position like 5 more people would be shooting at you so it didn't have its benefits.

New footage of the game, looks nice.

do you fight an army of clones in this game? every enemy looks the same.

uber_paddler · 05-26-2009, 07:17 PM

Clone armies have never eeeever bothered me. When I look at the dudes I just see dudes. Don't really care what they look like.

Typhoid · 05-26-2009, 07:41 PM

Jesus, that's gorgeous.

Zen · 05-27-2009, 12:51 AM

with me its more like....i dont mind if they are wearing a mask ala mgs, but when you have the same guy with the same beard and the same hairdo wear different clothes, that is just lazy, i mean seriously? 3 to 4 head models maybe? feels like fighting agent smith.

I still don't understand why companies don't use random face generators. I came up with that when I played Golden Eye.

Like all of my luck, I got into the Uncharted 2 beta, and been trying it out for the last few days. It is a pretty sweet experience.

One thing before I start, having a mic on the Ps3 seems to be a special occasion unlike XBL (I mean it comes with the console).

That said this game is pretty sweet, there will be comparisons to Gears of War with the main difference being what is mapped to the A/X button. In Gears its your all purpose roll/dodge/roadie run button in Uncharted its your jump button. So I feel that the characters are a bit slower in Uncharted but you get a lot more mobility in exchange for that.

Many of the stages are built on multiple levels and that gives you distinct advantages in some cases, but not always.

Like today while playing, I discovered it is possible to toss somebody off of a ledge if your hanging on it, I did it purely accidentally, but the kid I did it to started freaking out, he thought it was so amazing.

It also works the other way though while hangin there you are kind of an easy target, sure you can shoot and stuff but you don't have much mobility nor cover so.

And right now there are two modes in the game, a capture the flag-esque mode called Plunder, and Deathmatch. Nothing really special or different done with them.

One call thing I also found today... well used for the first time, are throwable exploding barrels, I set one up in a narrow tunnel and when an enemy came running through just blew it up in his face.

Reminds me of the other thing, like Halo you get medals that you exchange for money at the end of the game to buy stuff. So that exploding barrel got me a medal called BBQ.
