Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - OUT NOW - Trophy Patch Released!

[quote name='seanr1221']So any round-about release for this game? I have this bad feeling it will get pushed back to Jan./Feb. :([/quote]

I'd push it back post March for sells if it was me... But "Fall" is what I've seen. Check again for a release date/period after E3.

Great acting, pretty humorous.

Also, the evolution of Elena

whoa, it's like she's turning into a zombie :shock: and does she have grills in the 2nd pic or is it just me? :lol:
 
[quote name='SNAKE EYES EX']I have a feeling this game is going to pwn.[/quote]
i hope so. im getting tired of having no games.:bomb:
 
I played this at Wizard World in Chicago. Game play was very solid. Similar mix to Resident evil over the shoulder view for gunplay with a nice cover system. Also has some nice hand to hand combat. Overall looks like a solid release.
 
the talk by various gaming websites/podcast seem very positive on this game. Too bad it didn't launch with the system, as there is a strong msft and nintendo published games, and a whole slew of great 3rd party titles on multiplatform that may kill the sales numbers of this game.
 
But, at the same time November 20th is basically the start of the holiday shopping season in the US. With black friday sales being on the 25th, and likely some sort of price drop/cheaper PS3 coming on or near the 20th. So more people will be buying in general, and this is one of the few big, and good looking exclusives.

I'm hoping it's a good hit, where people buy it as a gift, and turns out people really like it and then word of mouth carries it.

One thing though, those combat videos look really good. Did they ever talk about multiplayer in uncharted? Is there at least co-op?
 
After watching those movies it look more like Tomb Raider meets Prince of Persia. I'll probably end up picking up Assassins Creed and wait for this to hit a lower price.
 
This is my most wanted game this year so I'll be grabbing it at release. Those target renders looked good to begin with, but WOW!
 
This game is looking better and better everytime I see it.

It may even make me buy a ps3 if its good.
 
Where'd you get the information that those were target renders? Just want to confirm that.

Even so, the in-game graphics are really good, in some places better, in some places worse or just plain different.
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']Still my GOTY.

=([/quote]

Why the sad face?

No offense to the guy above who seems to be dismissing this game for Mass Effect, but that game doesn't look very "fun," whereas this game looks to be nothing BUT fun. This will definitely be my Nov. 20th purchase!
 
I dismissed it for Mass Effect? Umm, no. I said i was getting both day 1, and I'm looking forward to this. All I said was, between the two Mass Effect is easily the bigger game.
 
This game was in the wings for me. Originally AC was my most anticipated title. Then Haze's 4 player co-op had me drooling. I have been pineing for R&C too. But in my mind, this game has continually built momentum. I watched a few more trailers on the weekend, and I really think this game is my number one game this november.

For some reason, Haze has faded in my mind. I AC still has a huge upside, but with the massive hype for the game, and very little gameplay shown, I am questioning whether it will live up to the hype.

I loved TR when it was new. Loved PoP, but hated the combat in it. Looks like Drake has the combat right (according to actual footage), but still has the same cool athletic-exploration elements of PoP and TR. Add on great visuals, and I am sold.

I will likely pick this up and wait for AC to drop in price....

I thought it was common knowledge that parts of the original trailer were CG with just a few very early in-game scenes.

Update on PSBlog.

Hey there everybody! Wanted to let you know that we hit Beta on Sunday, September 16th! That’s a huge milestone and it means we’re one step closer to finishing Uncharted. The team really pulled together to help achieve this deadline and we couldn’t be more excited about the progress we’ve made. Finally, most everything is in the game and we are just chasing down the last bugs and making a few minor balancing tweaks here and there.

We’ve had our last major focus test week last week too, and we received the data we need to make sure that the gameplay is finely tuned for our final release. This is a process that we take very seriously here at Naughty Dog and something we’ve been doing since the Crash Bandicoot days. We test the game over the course of a week and track a huge number of statistics from the types of weapons used, the amount of time spent in each area, and the number of times the players died. We then use this data to smooth out the difficulty and fix any puzzles or layouts that are too tricky to figure out. This will be the fourth time we do a full focus test like this and we are actually going to squeeze a final mini test in right before we Gold Master to make sure a bug didn’t creep in to mess up our tuning.

It’s also at this stage that a bunch of people in the office who have been so busy making the game, finally get a chance to sit down and play it. A lot of people have been so heads down that they are discovering areas in the game they’d never seen before. And because the cinematics are usually some of the last elements that go in, most people haven’t really seen the story unfold in its entirety. Our own Naughty Dogs make great gameplay testers too!

So we have a little less than 4 weeks to go now, but our bug count is actually shrinking instead of growing. There are going to be a lot of late nights ahead of us, but we’re finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And as a sign that we’re almost launching, the official game website has gone up - Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

Also, we partnered with GameSpot to give you a sneak peak behind the scenes of our game. Check it out here and here.

Updates from the PSblog:

Yes, we will be creating a downloadable demo for the PSN. We don’t have a final date on when it will be up, but it will be before our release date.

In regards to the UK release date, I believe its December 7th. We’re doing simultaneous localization in 13 languages (most, if not all, of which will be in the US version) and should be released in all territories within 3 weeks of each other.

As for multiplayer, we opted to stick to making the most compelling single player game possible this time. But there is a lot of game there and some pretty good replay value with multiple difficulty levels, hidden treasures, medal points, and some really cool unlockables.

It will play in 1080p but it’s software scaled to help out those with 1080i sets, so if you have a 1080p TV you’ll still want to play it in 720p (which it will default to).

And yes, our game runs at 30FPS.

@Deviation

You don’t have to worry… if your PS3 is set to support 720p, Uncharted will select that mode over 1080i (we thought of that issue). If you really want to play it in 1080 instead of 720p (not recommended if you set supports 720p), you can switch off 720p in the XMB.

Honest impressions from the beta.
Thanks to jakeelis at GAF.

I played the first 3 chapters (Beta October Build which arrived yesterday), and I think the game is brilliant control wise and the animation is pretty much fantastic.

By 'animation' I mean, that Drake has different jumps, catches, going through doors, wall splat, for every single situation there is in the game.

I played it on a Debug station at work on a tiny 15" Crappy TV, I couldn't tell the graphical power of the game, all I can say is that the environment is huge with very little loading times.

After playing 3 chapters, I decided to turn the game off and wait for the (final) release of the game as I want to play this relaxed at home on decent TV.

Elena's new model is better IMO (I also played a demo build back in July) although one can hardly notice any major differences, her hair is more natural now compared the old one-chunk-hair she had before.

Any questions, don't bother to ask...

- Puzzles aren't as hard as God of War/Ico, I would call it more exploring and getting to know how or which way would be best to pass through, other than puzzles.

- The first three chapters didn't involve much shooting, except for the first part. So from what I played it does have more platforming/exploring/puzzles than shooting. I would classify this as an adventure game not a shooter game

- Its gonna be a brilliant game, Day 1 Purchase for me. It has a naughty dog feel to it if you know what I mean. Story got me intrigued too and the dubbing is great. Oh... and shadows are very smooth compared to other PS3 games I played.

It was on On the Spot last week, so check out the video for some gameplay footage. It looked great and it showed off the enemy AI very well. They won't hesitate to use cover, move towards you, and toss mines at you, which made the guy playing it die twice in the demo. :lol:
 
Got some new screens and these are beauties. The level with the laser sight looks great. If these screens and the BTS video on PSN are any indication, the water should look amazing, too.

[quote name='BladeoftheImmortal']This game will be amazing, and I really don't see why there isn't hype for it.[/QUOTE]

Because people already have the perception the PS3 has no games.

Beautiful new screenshots...I wonder what the physics of his shirt are. It be really cool if his rolled up sleeves came down and he would automatically push them back up when you stood still.

Oh yeah, sorry.

No, it's mainly because Sony doesn't seem to care about advertising there games. Microsoft lets every know they have triple A games coming out, whereas Sony as a potential killer ap for the PS3(finally) but after the disaster of Heavenly Sword and Liar they seem slow to support anything.
 
Heavenly Sword is a disaster?
News to me.

Very positive reviews, and good sales.

Only weakness is the length of the game, but almost no other complaints about it.
 
[quote name='BladeoftheImmortal']This game will be amazing, and I really don't see why there isn't hype for it.[/QUOTE]

I think people don't want to get their hopes up. The last big PS3 releases, have been somewhat of a let down. Folklore, 7.0; Heavenly Sword - for being short [although imo its a great game], but almost every release [especially the exclusives] have a shroud of negativity surronding it. So I think that people don't want to get hyped about this game, just to be let down. Reviewers have never really said anything bad about the game.. but as soon as it get released, 6.5, 7.0, 7.9, type scores. {I hope not!}

me.. I can't help but wish a little bit that this was a tomb raider game, but overall I'm glad its something new and not another tomb raider game. I got a feeling that this might be the AAA title that flew under everyone's radar.

I know Lair was supposed to be one of the AAA titles, and we all know how that went down. Same for HS, though it's length is the reason I'm waiting on picking it up.

Next couple I'm waiting on are Uncharted and R&C: ToD, and I know I'm waiting both those out before picking them up. Uncharted does look great, though I know I'm gunshy about dropping down pre-order money on it, or full-price money before I see reviews.
