Uncharted for PS3 - this game simply looks amazing!

I must say after DL'ing the trailer off the PSN 2 days ago then seeing this gameplay video, I am very VERY impressed with this game. The animations in this game look unmatched by any other game and the level of graphics are just outstanding. I love the environment and the way the real-time cutscene plays into the game.

This game has quickly moved to the top of my must have list.

*sigh* ... this makes like 5 games I will be getting in November

I agree...looks like a lot of fun from the videos I've seen. It is the only PS3 game I'm interested in so far. When I finally do pick up a PS3 (not expecting to anytime soon), this will definitely be picked up with the console if it lives up to the videos.

Yeah it visually looks amazing but what good are those environments when you are on a completely linear path?

so you are saying, only games that are free roam like GTA should have good graphics?

 

[EvilComputer92]

It's games like this that will make me want a PS3.

 

[michaels]

No I am just saying for me it is a huge tease. And I don't like the EXTREMELY linear paths.

So Gears of War is awful to you too then huh?

 

[EvilComputer92]

I'm fine with linear games as long as their not too heavily scripted, like in half life 2 where a wall collapses perfectly so you can walk over the bricks and onto a ledge.

 

[michaels]

It is nowhere near as linear as this appears.

You are joking right?

Please explain to me, because I seriously don't understand, how you are saying Gears of War is not linear (assuming you've played the whole game as well cause it appears you are a MS fanboy) but you can make out that this game is EXTREMELY linear based on a gameplay clip of the first 5 minutes of the game.

 

[michaels]

Where did I say Gears wasn't linear? But from the video I have seen of this game it looked borderline onrails. But I will check this video out, maybe it's not that linear.

 

[michaels]

This video wasn't too linear. The vegetation and environment are jaw-dropping.

I'd like to get an assist in this threadjack by mentioning that there was a recent quote (I believe it was out of the Games Developer Conference) the other day of a BioWare producer saying that Mass Effect is the most non-linear game they've ever developed.

Thinking back to Baldur's Gate, I'm not sure how that's possible but the idea of it makes me feel things I shouldn't feel over a video game.

I'm very excited about Mass Effect...the only thing that doesn't excite me about it is that I know I'm going to sink a re-god-dang-diculous amount of time into it. That being said...I have no aversion to linear games as long as the story is engaging. Obviously there are a lot of advantages to a non-linear games...but something being linear doesn't automatically turn me off.

This game strikes me as an updated Tomb Raider...without breasts....not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'd be happy with an updated Tomb Raider with the breasts...

Agreed. I've been looking for an excuse to buy the ps3. This game has me the most excited. It's not enough to get me to buy a ps3 by itself, but it's definitely one of my first titles when I get one.

BG and BG2 and Fallout were all made by Black Isle not Bioware just in case there was some confusion there.

For old farts like me who like their RPGs turn-based and 3rd person there was no better company that could churn out games that let you do anything (esp the US version of Fallout2).

Bioware is not Black Isle 2 nor will it ever be, and to be honest bioware games are pseudo-nonlinear. The games are divided in areas that you can choose which order you complete but once in the area you cannot simply just do whatever you want. The best example I can think of that lets you do whatever you want was morrowind and oblivion. They let you create your character and off you went. Wanna kill random NPCs? Go for it. Wanna kill main storyline NPC? Sure, but you canot finish the game (disabled in oblivion but you can undo it with a mod). Wanna not finish the main story... ever but just explore and do quests for different factions? Fine

I love Oblivion and with user mods everywhere it is the best game for people who like the freedom to role-play. Not sure if this is out for the ps3 but its out for the 360.

I'm no expert and I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source, but is this flat out wrong, then?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldurs_Gate (Developer: Bioware, Publisher: Black Isle)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...ate_II:_Shadows_of_Amn (Developer: Bioware, Publisher: Black Isle)

EDIT: Bioware's official website sure wants to take credit for them.

I'm not trying to be antagonistic, I'm genuinely interested if there is a back story to what you said. We all just witnessed 2K Games changing Irrational Games into 2K Boston right before their major BioShock release, so I'm sure something like that has happened before.

I guess I didn't take too close of a look at who was where exactly when the BG series was developed but when i auctally played the game back in 99 i can't remember anything "Bioware" on any of the BG series.

I thought it was funny when he kicked the door and nothing happened, but then he shot the lock off and kicked again and both doors FELL OFF. :laugh:
