Bah just another article for fanboy masturbation. Seems like some people need these kind of articles to reassure them or something.

The game came out 6 months ago so why is this article only popping up now...? I think the wave of good 360 new has something to do with it.

Syronicus5862d ago

Ha ha, look at the Xbox troll folks, isn't he cute!

As for the game goes, it is only the truth and if you think what the author says is for masturbatory reasons then you sir are simply stupid. The game is gorgeous, get over it and buy a PS3 already.

Then why are you in here? Feeling a little threatened? Perhaps to good 360 news isn't really all the good that you feel the need to come in here and one up yourself with stupid comments.

Ravage275862d ago

someone's certainly sour about UC2's achievements....that or he has ran out of games to play on his xbox and have to resort to jealous trolling on PS3-only articles

Christopher5862d ago (Edited 5862d ago )

I agree the timing is kind of off, I would have waited till the 1-year anniversary of the game myself, but I feel the same way about Uncharted 2.

I think a lot of people truly overlook a lot of the detail in the game and how much effort they took to make the world one that oozes with love and care. Sure, Killzone 2 may have some nicer lighting effects and nicer textures and God of War 3 may look great, but I believe that no one has taken as much care, both from a design and a technical level, to make their game with such small and large detail elements like Naughty Dog. IMHO, on the consoles there is no comparison to their overall effort and technical capabilities. This is why most upcoming FPS and TPS games on the PS3 are being compared to Uncharted 2, because it is the defining point for games going forward within its own genre.

The way they do actor-based motion capture with the actual actors who voice the characters, it's this level of devotion and attention to detail that really shows you how much Naughty Dog wants to make this game the way they'd want to see and play a game and not just the way that gamers have been doing it up until then.

Anyway, I'm 100% a Naughty Dog fanboy and I think it's fairly obvious to see why. Where other companies in the past have taken this much love with writing their game (Planescape: Torment), Naughty Dog has taken it to provide a visual and audio treat for all gamers.

I won't say that their story is the best out there, but the way it's presented just makes it better and makes you enjoy it that much more.

Don't know what you mean...

If you read the article it's pretty clear!

kraze075862d ago

"The bottom line being that you owe it to yourself to play this game – titles like this only come around a few times in any generation and to miss them, well, you know the rest."

Bullsh!t. How many great games have we had this generation? Way more than a few. I'm not going to name a whole list so I'll just say this, UC2 is like a Greek god and there are plenty of other god-like games released this gen chillin up at the top of Mount Olympus.

tyrex5862d ago

whats the ratio of gods(uncharted) to man (rouge warrior).

bnaked5862d ago (Edited 5862d ago )

no, there are only two games of this calibre: MGS4 and Uncharted 2. These games are above all other games this gen, imo.

kraze075862d ago (Edited 5862d ago )

"no, there are only two games of this calibre: MGS4 and Uncharted 2. These games are above all other games this gen, imo."

What about God of War 3? And even though they may not be able to compare visually I'd say Dragon Age Orgins (PC) and ME1 and 2 are top quality gameplay and story wise, well just story wise when it comes to the Mass Effect games.

I know the title is talking about the difference between the power of the consoles, but the article itself is about the overall quality of the game and to say it's hardly unrivaled overall this gen just isn't true. There are plenty of games released this gen that will stick with gamers for decades to come.

bnaked5862d ago

I think only these games have that certain indefinable something.

kraze075862d ago

Yeah maybe you're right. It just seemed like the author was putting UC2 up on a pedestal while just brushing off other great games like they never existed.

cayal5862d ago

Mass Effect 1 and 2 certainly deserve to be up in the top games of this generation. They are simply amazing.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

gold_drake540d ago

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo540d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot540d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Inverno540d ago

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake540d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77540d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack540d ago (Edited 540d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation540d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72540d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
