Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - GI

Looks amazing so far. Day 1 buy.

Some bulletpoints:

• - The biggest thing in the article IMO is that there's a new girl named Chloe Frazer. GI asked about Elena and Sully's return but they had no comment.

• - The story is about looking for the ships that Marco Polo "lost" while returning home to Italy.
• - Melee combat is more dynamic now.
• - They mentioned they were using only 30% of the PS3's power with Drake's Fortune and are planning to use nearly 100% with Among Thieves.
• - A demo was shown to GI with Drake going through a city (I believe in Nepal), and he's stealthily taking out guards and escaping the city.
• - Nolan North returns to be Drake and Chloe Frazer is played by Claudia Black (Stargate SG-1, Fargate).
• - The Sixaxis mechanics were ditched for such things as throwing grenades.
• - One of the weapons revealed is a rocket launcher that Chloe uses (might only be for the cinematic).
• - There are no load screens.
• - The score is being composed by Greg Edmonson (same guy from the first one).
• - Weapons can be used in any stance (running, behind cover, hanging, climbing a wall, etc.).
• - You can now move while aiming behind cover.

• ---

• - I'm not sure how to explain this one so this is what it says:
  "In Uncharted 2, every character fully interacts with the dynamic geometry moving around them, and environments in the background are real parts of the game world"
  "If Drake's on top of a train, he's going to be shaking with the train as it moves around"
  "As he gets inside, his moveset is going to change, and he's going to be a lot more secure because the wind's not blowing."
• - The graphics look better than Uncharted 1.
• - Button sequence cinematics such as the final boss have changed so now Drake is now fully controllable in these parts...I think (This one's also hard to describe).
• - Climbing seems improved upon. You can climb lamp posts now among other new things.
• - If there is an enemy patrolling a rooftop you're climbing a wall to, you can pull him off the roof while hanging on the wall.

the first Uncharted is in my top 5 this gen :DGiancar

Co-op seems like a natural addition. But by no means was the first bad :evil:!Episode_Eve

I thought both Gears and Uncharted were bad in single player, but Gears was saved by co-op (and it was a bit better overall).

My wishlist for Uncharted 2 is co-op (but no versus). Enemies that dont shoot you with 100% accuracy all the time from wherever they are. Less of the sass from the stupid main character. Less repetitive gameplay. I also want better platforming/exploration and more varied environments but they're already doing that. t'll be day one if they put in co-op though, naughty dog are great

edit: also get rid of the crappy cinematic aspirations. The story was almost bad as Gears and the characters were uncanny valley personified in the cutscenes

Awesome!!

2009 can't come soon enough.

:shock:

and i thought batman:arkham asylum was my most hyped game.

and delete the scan, mind you, post a link if you'd like..

Dosn't sound that good... is what I would say if I wasn't about to explode with excitement.

Though the 30%/100% comment was ridiculous. Does anyone still belive that nonsense? "We were only manipulating 30% power, but this time it will be closer to 100!", sounds like something a crappy supervillian would say. I hope Sully does return.

PR BS, obviously.

but i'll claim ownage if they actually do that.

Thanks alot TC, day 1 buy for me, the first one was amazing.

With co-op ( I hope ) and all of the improvements posted I think the game will be perfect.
