Richmond: Uncharted 3 will feel more open (New Interview and Info)

I'd like to know what the actual gameplay benefits of linearity are.DragonfireXZ95

AI-controlled players/enemies can respond more realistically to the situation, since they have advance knowledge of how the situation is going to play out.

You can also make sure the player actualy plays through a section, rather than just avoiding it somehow.

Alan wake - like flop incoming! :P

It makes the gameplay tightly controlled, allowing for careful timing and pacing of events.

You know i don't think he ever praised a ps3 game or had anything good to say about ps3, always bashing, and never saw him attacking the 360

Making it more open-world would be a major step up. themyth01

What's up with all the open-world weirdo's anyway? Why does this game have to be like those? It's an amazing experience... the closest thing you'll get to gameplay + hollywood. Not a bad thing at all.

Is Gears an open world gaming series? No. But it's still an awesome one.

'Not being open-world' is hardly a criticism, and does not apply to Uncharted at all. It does with say... FFXIII, since previous installments on PS2 were way more open world than FFXIII.

Anyway, if you want an open world game, play Infamous or something :| Gamers complaining about this w/Uncharted 3 really don't know what they're talking about.

[QUOTE="themyth01"][QUOTE="spookykid143"]No it wouldn't Uncharted has way to many set pieces for it to be open world.

[QUOTE="poorfamz"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Which also has the nasty side effect of guaranteeing dullness or tediousness after multiple playthroughs when everything plays exactly the same way.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]You like having less freedom in your games? :?Stevo_the_gamer

Linear games have tons of benefits over open world and vice versa.

Solution: Play a different game designed for different paths. Or jump on Uncharted multiplayer :|

Do you ever watch movies twice? Or do you watch it once and forget about it forever since you can't experience scenes differently?

Uncharted 2 was a seamless experience, you can't get the same feel with a game trying to be open world. The game is incredible, and is generally seen as incredible by the gaming community.

You're just looking for something to criticize. Enjoy the game for what it is, which is amazing.

Maybe so, but they could still make it less linear than U2 with more branching paths or different routes to the same destination. This adds a lot to re-playability.

I just said that I didn't want open-world. :?

Indeed.

Not sure if serious.

He just doesn't understand that Sony cares about us.tagyhag

[QUOTE="johny300"]

[QUOTE="poorfamz"] So GTA don't get dull after replaying a mission several times? All games get dull after multiple playthroughs, open world and linear games You are just finding every bit of excuse to trash talk the Uncharted series. Please try harder next responsetagyhag

You cut off the top half of my post :|

What are you asking for then? If all you want is branching paths, I think they will already be granting that to you with 3 if you read that interview. Anyway this is no mass effect people :|

So more smokes and mirrors.

Also, I like how he says he doesn't make it open world just because they don't want to. :P Like he could pull off the same experience with an open world game.

I'm glad they don't waste time with an open world game. Open world games are the ones I find the most boring and I never replay them. Tons of filler, samey side jobs, collection quests of items in places that make no sense. Open world is almost as much of a hype killer for me as hearing that a game will be an FPS.

The top half was directed right at you... which you completely ignored.

Thanks for the insult in minimized dark grey font

If you read the interview, you'd probably have no reason to argue in here :|

You guys know what's funny i find myself replaying linear games more than open world ones, Infamous 2 replayed it 2 times, RDR on the second playthrough couldn't even get myself to play the irish missions because i was too bored, FO3 1 playthrough was enough, Uncharted 1 3 replays, Uncharted 2 4 replays, bioshock 1 2 replays.johny300

I believe your argument started somewhere in the last two pages. Like I said, you had no reason to argue. Your insult was in dark grey minimized font.

[QUOTE="johny300"] Why would sony care lol? they just want my money lol.johny300

Infinity Ward said about the same thing about mw2 too. I dunno, I just cant see them changing the formula the same after two very successful games, but either way its gonna be great

FFversus13 so far has shown you can off pull open world with nice graphics on a console (or Only on PS3?)

its more easy on PC of course, its alot harder on consoles to pull off, but props to ND for at least making it seem open world
