Uncharted 2 = System seller... Killer App

i'm pretty sure that Uncharted 2 already has more marketing from the gameplay sniplets and shear hype than Uncharted 1 did, lol. Seriosuly, I know people with a PS3 who hadn't heard about the first one until I told them about it and I myself don't even own a PS3 yet! With that said, just because the first Uncharted wasn't a system seller doesn't mean that 2nd won't be. Some of you guys love a make stupid assumptions and I'm not sure why you're so simple minded as to ignore reasonable possibilities.

The game:

1)already getting more buzz than the 1st uncharted did.

2)people are actually paying attention to the PS3 line up of games rather focusing on how little/low quality games it has in comparison to the Xbox 360, which was out 1 YEAR EARLIER THAN THE PS3 (yes, the majority of people did this excluding the PS3 fanboys).

3)E3 is still coming so more details on the game will create more buzz.

4)Has numerous noticeable improvements from the last one and it will feature multiplayer, which will have the same control set as single player (which is awesome if you've seen that 5 minute gameplay video).

5)Even if people don't notice the improvements there is one thing that's certain, this game looks beautiful.

6)Sony might actually try to market a game for once?:roll:

All of these factors contribute to why this EASILY could be a system seller.

Naughty Dog has it together.

[QUOTE="ToScA-"]System seller? You can't be serious.RM84x

Yes, it's true, but you guys don't need to mention the complete obvious. Sony knows this and everyone knows this. That's not what the topic is about

yeah people wants PS3 ! and ?

mD-

a friend of mine bought uncharted a week before he even had a ps3. so yes it was a system seller:)[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

was uncharted 1 a system seller? no? okay then.

There is nothing wrong with the car analogy. 1. The price difference can be anything from £300 to £100. 2. The analogy is not to say that the PS3 is better as such, but that it has more features, higher end parts etc etc ie, the 360 is more like a ford mondeo, cheap, but very very highly realiable, well, not reliable but does the job. 3. it really does explain the price difference in the too. What i'd like to know is, if money didnt come into it, what system would you buy...someone make a poll thread for that please.

jeez... why is every ps3 exclusive an apparent 'system-seller' on SW?

A bit like killzone 2 then?

We heard the very same thing about Motorstorm, Resistance, LBP, MGS4, Killzone 2, and even the first Uncharted. The system is still too expensive for any game to suddenly and very dramatically impact the console's sales. And yes, those are all great games, but price is still a barrier to most people to say they'll buy it for such and such game, especially with 360 offering competition of equivalent next gen gaming experiences for less dollars.

The only thing that's going to be an actual "system seller" is a lower sticker price. But that won't happen this year, and hard to even say what 2010 will hold.

Of course we can also just turn the sonyfans logic back at them when Halo 3 and Gears 1 were due for release; "Everybody who wants a PS3 for Uncharted 2 already picked one up" :P:P:P

So you noticed, that people liked the look of the game?

Well, it's official, we have a bunch of random internet users opinions.

you seem to have issues distinguishing the difference between opinions and statements.

all this is full of statements:

Looks **** great. Need to buy a PS3.

Posted 5-15-2009 7:21pm
this looks utterly amazing. This a the reason I would buy a ps3

Posted 5-17-2009 1:20pm
looks good, wish I had a ps3 and played the first one now.

Posted 5-15-2009 7:12pm
i wish the 360 had a game like this

Posted 5-15-2009 7:22pm
wow, might actually need to grab a PS3 for this one.

Posted 5-15-2009 7:25pm
That's it, I'm not waiting any longer to buy a PS3. It'll be a nice complement to my X360 anyway. This year is obviously the year for badass PS3 exclusives. I'm not going to be left out on all the fun.

Posted 5-15-2009 7:25pm
damn...i'd buy a ps3 for this, looks amazing


Posted 5-15-2009 7:35pm
I am a Xbox 360 owner & I must say that I'm very much jealous of this amazing looking game..

At least I will be able to buy it & play on my brother's ps3, Can't miss this!


Posted 5-15-2009 7:52pm
I've never seen such a positive reaction to video in my life.

Posted 5-15-2009 8:00pm

ive gotta find a ps3 somehow

Posted 5-15-2009 9:12pm

Looks really amazing and fluid as hell, DO WANT A PS3!!!

Posted 5-16-2009 5:21am

Posted 5-16-2009 5:43am
I dont have a ps3. But, after seeing how good this game looks, I might just have to get a ps3...

stollen said: I wish I had a PS3...

Me too, except I'm buying one, and this game is one of the many reasons.

you seem to have issues distinguishing the difference between opinions and statements dethroned3

People have stated what their opinions are.

So yes, they are opinions.

The fact they didn't add an "IMO" or an "I think" doesn't change that.

im not sure, but i think he is referring to the statements that people make about buying a ps3 for uncharted 2.

saying they like the game or not is an opinion. saying they will buy a ps3 is a statement

fact is - Uncharted 2 is the most impressive thing many ppl have ever seen on a console.... and they will want to play it when it comes out... many of them stating that they will buy a Ps3 to play it. RM84x

our point: people say alot on the internet... it doesnt mean anything

internet hype =/= sales

the only ps3 game that is considered a system seller is MGS4...

reasons:

MGS series has been around for over 20 years and has a huge and dedicated following...

uncharted.... not even close

I thought LBP was a system seller? I thought Resistance 2 was a system seller? Or more recently I thought Killzone 2 was a system seller? I think the only time the PS3 had a huge sales bump was when MGS4 came out. I think they need another Metal Gear game.

that is exactly right.
since when was:
--Need to buy a PS3
--This a the reason I would buy a ps3
-- i wish the 360 had a game like this
etc etc, an opinion?

It looks beautiful

maybe like 6 sellers lol,

dont get your hopes up , ,

Well I don't think that only game will be a system seller, I think the whole year lineup.JimCarreyForYou

[QUOTE="thetruespin"]not sure it is a system seller as joe public dont really know too much abour uncharted. but for anyone that likes game, yes, uncharted 2 is very exciting. how the hell this game was robbed of AAA status is beyond me...kingtito

Maybe because it wasn't as great as most fanboys think.Perhaps it's because reviews are nothing more than opinions.

First of all, you're misrepresenting what the reviewer said. He said that it seemed that the developers were throwing ideas at the wall in the hope that something would stick. In other words, he was saying that the game lacked focus and the "variety" was there for the sake of being there and not put to good enougheffect to justify its existence.

IMO, that game got what it deserved. It was an unimaginative, uninspired rehash.It was good and well-crafted,but surely nothing mindblowing.Compared to something like Super Mario Galaxy, a 7 seems just about right. Ratchet and Clank was incredibly hot stuff back in the PS2 era, but times have changed.

Secondly, can you provide any motive for this imaginary anti-Sony bias? It sounds to me like you're just making excuses for games not getting the scores you want them to. Not that it should matter. Scores are nothing but another person's opinion. It's crazy that you (and others) would hatch this dumb "anti-Sony" conspiracy theory just because of some guy's opinion.

an opinion?dethroned3

Yes, opinions.

Just like Killzone 2 was supposed to be a system seller.

I see those types of comments for almost any exclusive game being released on a specific console. xsubtownerx

You can't come up with a valid argument, so you resorted to making false assumptions.

I've had plenty of games to play this year and plenty to look forward to.

Yes, opinions.

now go look up statement. go on.

Did you check the link?

did you read what i wrote?
'Need to buy a PS3' etc etc is a statement.

like i said before, if you think that's an opinion, you're delusional.
