GOLD RUSH

-------------


"Naughty Dog recently showcased the new Uncharted 2 multi-player mode, "Gold Rush" at Comic-Con 2009. The mode will place a team of 5 players against waves of enemies, even helicopters. As waves progress, the difficulty increases.

Sounds very similar to Gears of War 2's Horde mode right? The twist with Gold Rush is this: Players must complete an objective whilst fending off the AI bots. The objective is to carry a golden statue to a defined capture point on the map."

Video at the link

-------------

Sounds great. Horde mode with a twist :). Uncharted 2 is looking better and better.

EDIT: The only reason I cited Horde is because it's a recent and popular interpretation of this kind of co-op. Also, Uncharted 2 looks to be better for having it than not.

If it's fun, should be good... Horde is fun, and Firefight was lots of fun for me at the ODST E3 demo. So this will be welcomed.

Wow when team Xbox said be prepared to see horde mode copied by every game out their, they were 100% true. I guess Gears Of War 2 had a positive impact on the shooting genre after all.

Actually Rainbow Six Vegas was the first that comes to mind. But Epic and Insomniac took it to the next level and made it "fun" :P.

horde has been done before gears of war, it's been done on unreal tournament before gears of war.

Was it an actual mode in Unreal Tournament or a mod, because those don't count.

So, the mode is a copy of Gears Horde mode and the name a copy of Bad Company´s main mode?? Not very original :?

I think all these bits and pieces Uncharted 2 is picking off from other games are the reasons this game will awesome. I'm looking forward to it.

Left 4 dead is basically the whole idea of horde and was much better than it. I mean it was actually completely horde idea. I mean there have been dozens of these games that exist. Instead of scripted they pop-up a certain amount of ai enemies. It isn't special at all. The onyl difference is that left 4 dead didn't just have short enviroments where enemies pop up by rounds.

I don't see what's so original about Horde mode anyways. You fight waves and waves of enemies, boy, that's never been done before.

Gold Rush is a bit different. The objective is to get the tresure to the goal location while waves of enemies attack. The only point of horde is to survive 50 ? rounds of enemy waves.

I dont understand why peopel act as if Horde mode is original. Its nothing new, how many other games have had it but with another name?

Mercenaries mode in Resident Evil is basicly the same thing, survive waves of enemies.

too bad it was completely wrong, horde mode for gears worked fine online and offline at launch, as did private matches and co-op campaign, just ranked matches suffered :roll:

its not a joke if its true. It was indeed unplayable. Aside from the fail to connect to the stupid matchmaking system. Once you finally get people in your group the farthest you can get up too is wave 10...because it disconnected all players.

Well yeah, I should have been more specific, I only encoutered a few problem in Horde, but I can't say the same for ranked however... it's alot better now though.

you say that but then the games that try something new are criminally ignored. Kameo, Banjo: N&B and games like psychonauts don't sell at all.

i cant believe people are complaining about how it isnt original--not even the implementation in uc2 specifically, but horde mode itself. that feature was so much fun it was incredible. aside from castle crashers, i have definitely not gotten as much coop play out of any other game on my xbox, both in person and over live.

gears of war has some of the dumbest design choices ever. in uncharted 2 multiplayer you can jump or roll. gears of war u can only roll. why the hell doesnt gears of war have a jump? the big metal suit wearing dude's can superman dive and curl up midair and land on his feet. i mean come on. plus the cover system was better in duke nukem time to kill, first third person shooter with a leaning around corners. locking onto walls sucks, i like the blindfire in gears but it's been done before.

uncharted 2 definitely has better gameplay than gears in some aspects. duke nukem zerohour actually is the way third person shooters should control and be, but only 2 things left out leaning like duke nukem time to kill and crouching. probley because not enough buttons on n64 pad. 50 cent bulletproof controls how third person shooters should be, or even freedom fighters. gears of war actually ripped off freedom fighters 2nd person zoomed up gun view.
