They've been making great games for years, some of their first games were the first I really appreciated unlike my younger years. What I love most about Uncharted is how it captures that great sense of mystery and that chase after a big legend or mystery. It's like Indiana Jones, but better.
Where will we see Nathan plundering next? Egypt? South America? China, or Japan? Maybe a big tour of the world is in order? With how big Uncharted 2 is, you have to imagine how big Naughty D...
So there's something to be able to measure it by, whereas most of us gamers will know we want a game based on playing it beforehand or playing a previous iteration, others need to see great scores to convince themselves? It helps to make a faster judgement on the game but at the same time it can be unfair, most especially when people compare various games on various platforms when they're within decimals of each other. That's just plain stupid.
If it's an enemy or in a more "artistic" manner (see the quotes...) they're usually ok with boobs but as soon as you add in actual sexual sequences people lose their MINDS.
It's fine having a game where you rip the spines out of your enemies or pay a prostitute to perform sexual favors on you and then kill her and take your money back but as soon as you have an actual sexual encounter, even if it's in an artistic fashion, the censors and politician/game critics go abso...
Idiots like this shouldn't be running gaming sites that actually review games, that or their reviews should be taken with a grain of salt.
His review stinks of a jaded cynicism that I experience with friends or acquaintences that are extremely hard to please with, well, anything really. I could go see a new movie or play a new game, in this case, Uncharted 2 and they'll say there's nothing that interests them about the game and if they actually do give the game a chance they'll o...
It looks promising, hopefully they can get people to invest and fund it otherwise I'll consider it vaporware until it's more concrete/in development. Who knows, maybe Sony will absorb them as a first party studio if they decide to publish it and it comes out well and sells well enough.
When they know how laughably bad the 360 does in Europe and most especially Asia/Japan. It's so convenient when the NPD sales don't include those regions right?
The only region the 360 still has a hold on above the PS3 is North America, we all know that and it's starting to become a smaller lead as the PS3s are flying off the shelves.
It's a better value, it has better exclusives and it has a much lower failure rate that STILL plagues the 360. A true gamer is serious...
WHEN IT'S SEPTEMBER'S SALES. Uncharted 2 wasn't even out then which I honestly believe is a huge system seller. Also, this is only for North America, so obviously the NPD sales don't include other territories.
I can't wait to see this month's sales, estimates are putting Uncharted 2 passed the million mark in it's first week. I already have my GOTY, I don't think Modern Warfare 2 can even touch Uncharted 2.
I feel for what he's going through but he doesn't give any basis for why he dislikes the game so much.
It's like he's saying: "Hey Uncharted 2 sucks and I don't understand why everyone is loving it so much, I have no basis for my opinion so it isn't even valid but hey my friend is fighting cancer so it's ok."
I'm sorry if I sound like an insensitive jerk but if you want to voice your opinion at least have something to back it up, especially if it's agains...
You said:
"ND already said they maxed out ps3's power. Crytech said too about ps3.
does anybody have to say otherwise?
If so make good reason, along with showing your credentials too."
Naughty Dog said they've been able to push all the processors to the max, not the entirety of the PS3. Now they know how to bring it all together and push them to the max, we've got more to see in the inevitable Uncharted 3.
When I don't consider them the worst. I'd say the worst are Nintendo fanboys, mostly because their console is devoid of games that once made Nintendo amazing. Yeah, I own a Wii. How many games do I own for it? I can count them on one hand. Outside their first party lineup, what else is there? Even if a good game like Madworld comes out, it sells so poorly it's a joke.
I sincerely believe (after playing+beating Uncharted 2) that the fact that we STILL get poorly done PS3 versions ...
So at least you'll have the features of Steam but if you host a private game and invite people to it, it will be running off your connection and IP address. Sucks there's no dedicated servers though :(
They literally ask him "So there will be no dedicated servers?" and he flat out says no, you'll have to use the matchmaking system.
This is a really cool snippet of research but I kind of feel bad for the mouse. For those who don't realize what's going on, he has his head strapped into that module and is running on that ball to move. I know I wouldn't like to have my head strapped into an immovable pedestal and have to run around a controller for a virtual environment so scientists could study my brain, haha.
Still, this kind of stuff makes you wonder if scientists are trying to eventually develop stuff that ...
The only gaming magazine I actually valued in regards to opinions and reviews. FINALLY!! Hopefully they get all the old reviewers back, including Hsu.
I've played it before online and I didn't enjoy it at all. Also, you can disagree with me or agree but I've seen a more adult and level headed community in online shooters on the PS3 as compared to the 360. Maybe more adults have PS3s? I dunno.
I still experience crap on other shooters but it's nothing compared to the CoD franchise which is arguably the most popular shooter franchise but it's filled with a huge amount of insane morons who flex their e-peens constantly while hidi...
Aside from the small problems like the six axis controls (which weren't even that bad IMO, the sheer scale of the game made locking on a bit harder), once you switch analog stick controls it's a very great game in my opinion.
If you're a fan of dragons or flight sims and want to try something new, get this game (it's usually cheap) as it's a great buy. They should have offered the option to switch to analog stick controls when it launched and I think it would've fared a lot bett...
I wish someone snuck a camera into the showing of the gameplay to leak onto the internet. Are you telling me out of all the people that were shown the gameplay, NO ONE thought about trying to leak it? Sure, it's a bit disgraceful but we're all dying over here, they're being so tight lipped about Versus because of the upcoming release of XIII. I find it ironic that a lot of people are more excited for Versus than regular XIII, IMO Versus looks so much better just from the trailers and such tha...
I agree completely, those stabs at Nintendo were uncalled for. You could even hear people booing the nasty remark the guy showing Natal made, I can't remember the exact quote but it was something like: "You won't be sitting on a couch making wonky swinging motions" or something like that. Anyway moving on to my thoughts in regards to Natal:
It's an improvement of the motion sensing the Wii is successful with, which also means it'll be gimmicky and hard to develop for th...
Trophies on the PSP would increase replayability of any games that are on the handheld, obviously. I would love it, and I'm sure it would make the handheld a bit more appealing over the competition :P
I don't understand how anyone could not like this game, much like his jaded cynicism and bias against Uncharted 2 in it's entirety. He's the type of person who won't give many things a chance and even after that is extremely hard to please. I guess all Naughty Dog can do is make an amazing game and hope people enjoy it. Thing is, I feel bad for the people who are too skeptical or jaded to enjoy something as amazing as Uncharted 2.
