Has anyone else noticed that uncharted has jumped to the number 1 spot for most popular game on the PS3? I think the decision to be an early adapter of the trophy system was a great idea on Naughy Dog's part and if the game sees a surge in sales from renewed interest due to that fact, I think that's the best message that can be sent to developers about implementing trophies.

Yeah... I've noticed that too. I just got my copy a couple of days ago because it was on sale at my local BestBuy. It's a great game and I'm loving every second of it. The only reason why I waited so long is that I don't think any single player game is worth $60 because I usually just play it once. Seems I picked it up at just the right time for trophies. :D

uncharted was always a great game. reviews hurt the games popularity. the game was brilliant. looked good and had a brilliant story. ai were a little....fake, with mgs4's ai it would be a brilliant game. still top notch game and now that it will get trophys soon people want to get back into it. beat it on hard, beat it for the first time, buy it and so on. early support of trophys is a great move for devs im just surprised so few have realised this

I love Uncharted, doing Crushing again is going to be painfull, but doable. All I will have to do is be faster than before since in Crushing you cant rest even 2 seconds without being surrounded

I loved Uncharted. Love how the cinematics really made me feel like a part of the story. This game is better than the reviews said it was. The only negative aspect I can think of is the repetitive gameplay action. You're just shooting those cartoonish monkey-men in the face the whole time.

Ah, but what a ride, eh?

Cheers,

Except Uncharted is not a shooter and it doesn't really have anything to do with war. And Uncharted is set in a lush tropical environment and Gears really isn't. And Gears is tactical and Uncharted is more adventure with some puzzle solving elements. And it Gears you are fighting against bugs on a fictional planet where humans are trying to survive and in Uncharted it is based on earth and relies upon human history as its backdrop. And you can play Gears online on multiplayer maps and you can't do that in Uncharted. But other than those minor differences you're probably pretty accurate in your observation.

Uncharted was the first PS3 game to really suck me in. It was hard to put down the controller, I was always like "ok let em just do this part and then I'll shut off the game." Even after I did put down the controller I just opened up my PS3 again like 15 min later.

But yeah I don't understand how there could be a sudden jump from not on the list to #1. DMC4 also made an odd jump. Not #1 but it was like #3 and then a few hours later it was off the list.

Uncharted is easily the best PS3 game next to MGS4. So much replay value, fantastic cutscenes, graphics, voice acting, and the story is great witha cool twist.

Uncharted is one of the best games this gen, and the best game on the PS3 IMO. Uncharted and Lost Odyessy have been the only two games this gen that I was compelled enough by to sit down with and play marathon sessions with untill I completed them.

(And then i played through Uncharted again on the hardest difficulty mode for unlockables. I actually never got to finsh LO though, I was halfway through disc 4 when my 360 had a dvd drive failure and destroyed my LO disc. But on the bright side it made me so angry I bought a PS3 and got rid of the 360 for good.)

I bought Uncharted: Drake's Fortune last Sunday and I can safely say that I've been impressed.

The early levels are great with the puzzle solving - unfortunately this kinda fades away and it becomes a more gun oriented game but it is still fun nevertheless. The cut scenes are amazing, graphics look stunning although the charactes look a little "too smooth", look like something outta Toy Story, LOL!

Hopefully they'll bring out a sequel because I think it could give Tomb Raider a run for its money.

Uncharted deserved much higher scores than it garnered from reviewers. I agree that it's the second best game for the ps3 behind MGS4. Loved every second of it, and the cutscene theater is great. I still watch the cutscenes whenever I'm bored, It's like watching a movie. Drake's voice actor was superb.

Yeah Sony is gonna patch up Burnout Paradise and Uncharted with trophies.....I think that it will take your previous data and give you the trophies you already acquired so that you dont have to restart the game. Even though I might so I can actually play it good.

Are you serious? The AI in Metal Gear is so dumb... You can be laying in front of a dude on tiled floor and he can't see you because you're color-coordinated with the floor... thats pretty dumb in my opinion... no sense of depth or the fact that your character bumps 2 feet out of the floor and has shadows... lol just had to throw that in

Naughty Dog, Level-5, and Team Ico are the only game making companies I actually have respect for. After I played Dark Cloud 2 I was amazed at how fun the game was and enjoyed all the extra stuff put in, basically Level-5 makes a game that has everything you could possibly want in a game (except online stuff). The Ico Team just blows my mind at how beautiful they make their games and how heartfelt the games actually are simply by just looking at them.

Now NaughtyDog is my favorite because all their games are pure fun, have stories, plot, good dialogue, graphics, extra content, voice acting, and always improve (except for the whole non-existent Kiera in Jak 3...that was lame). When I first saw pics of Uncharted I knew it was gonna be awesome cause Naughty Dog always lives up to the expectations.

ive always been shocked hearing cod4/dmc4 are not going to support trophies holly what an abysmal idea... all it can do is tremendously increase its sales once again with a very minor update that doesnt even impact gameplay or any of the post release assets... total shame oh well they will deffintly learn by their mistakes.........

If u played gears of war, its just a playstation version of gears of war. both graphics and gameplay wise.

Except Uncharted is not a shooter and it doesn't really have anything to do with war. And Uncharted is set in a lush tropical environment and Gears really isn't. And Gears is tactical and Uncharted is more adventure with some puzzle solving elements. And it Gears you are fighting against bugs on a fictional planet where humans are trying to survive and in Uncharted it is based on earth and relies upon human history as its backdrop. And you can play Gears online on multiplayer maps and you can't do that in Uncharted. But other than those minor differences you're probably pretty accurate in your observation.

"minor differences" LOL

Just get Uncharted. Ive finished it twice and now playing for the third time. I have to get all those treasures and medals.
