Holy sh*t! I wonder where it takes place this time. REAL-TIME by the way. Naughty Dog only does real-time cut-scenes.

Fishy Fingers5615d ago (Edited 5615d ago )

No doubt, in game, the amimations maybe custom or tweeked for the trailer, but yeah real time.

thor5615d ago

Uncharted 2 is going to be so amazing. I hope to see some expanded platforming and puzzle sections together with the same awesome gunplay, maybe some more melee moves, and sharper graphics/animations than last time. It's a shame the teaser is so short :( But it is only a teaser I suppose.

I didn't expect snow :O

kharma455615d ago

I didn't expect snow either, quite a stark contrast to the jungle of the last game, but this has the scope to be as epic and as fun as the last game :)

Bring it on Naughty Dog! :D

Cyrus3655615d ago

I hope there is 2 player co-op play, whether it's playing as Ellen or the other cat right within in the single player mode.

As well, playing the game on insane level, i wish the computer wasn't so cheap, I passed it, but was cursing all the way through.

I'd also like some more puzzle solving elements and a bit more complicated than the easy stuff in uncharted.

@LightningPS3

Dude... what the hell are you doing here?

ontopic: I hope Uncharted 2 has a multiplayer mode this time around. I would gladly sit through a delay if they could.

thor5615d ago

Why bash the PS3 here? I couldn't care less if they cut the price or not, because I HAVE A PS3. So I don't need to buy one. Most people don't really care about sales. All I care about is the great games that are consistently being pumped out by Sony's 1st party studios. Uncharted 1 was awesome. Uncharted 2's going to be more awesome if it pans out.

"The PS3 is just irrelevant" - not to millions of people worldwide. Quit trolling.

I'll help Lightning too :P

yesah5614d ago

i couldnt give a damn about multiplayer for this game, it would draw focus away from the story. There are enough second rate online shooters, we need more games like uncharted. Masterpieces

BattleAxe5614d ago

Looks very very interesting, can't wait.

INehalemEXI5614d ago (Edited 5614d ago )

OMG was not expecting to see such good news today !

First thing I notice is the awesome snow texture maps drake has. The first uncharteds wet maps where impressive. Now its snow !

Milky Joe5614d ago

HOLY MOTHERF... I want Uncharted 2...

I'm going to watch that again.

Danja5614d ago

WOW now im really excited about this game it looks amazing...

I hope they include 2-player co-op this time around...

Dark General5614d ago

I agree with yesa. No multiplayer bs. This is single player game through and through. If anything like Danja said some offline coop would be nice so my girlfriend could play as Elana.

arika5614d ago (Edited 5614d ago )

OH MY GOD! bring it on naughty dogs! can't wait for this game! it got me soo hype that i'm going to go through the first one again. awesome news!

Jamegohanssj55614d ago

Game will be awesome just as the first. Keep on rolling out with the exclusives.

TGSI

jwatt5614d ago

Yes I wasn't sure if Uncharted 2 was going to come out in 09 but now it's looking very promising. I guess Jak is going to have to wait untill 2010.

dj_funky5614d ago

wow! can't wait to see how the snow takes effect in this game.. the best snow i've seen in a ps3 platform was MGS4 when snake went back to shadow moses.

nathan drake will own.

house5614d ago

2009 just got alot better for ps3

jaysquared5614d ago

Mark my words 2009 is the year of the PS3! Just like 2006, 2007 and 2008! </sarcasm>

PS3 FTW5614d ago

Uncharted 1 was AMAZING!

I have the "Uncharted: Drakes Fortune" Platinum Trophy and loved every second of every trophies hunt and I'm sure U2 will be even better than U1 :D

ThanatosDMC5614d ago

My pants just exploded!!!

I cant wait for this game!!

Final_Rpg5614d ago

Holy God, that looks awesome. Did you see the graphics, if that was realtime then HELL YES.

eagle215614d ago

Uncharted is in my top 10 games of all time. I have gamed since the NES/SNES era and have played them all. Naughty Dog has my money already. Happy gaming. This is the best news in a while! :)

SL1M DADDY5614d ago

I have played through Uncharted about 7 times now and love it every time. Now I get to go through another one! Yeah baby!

solidt125614d ago

This game will be a heavy hitter next holiday and I can't wait. PS3 already has a great line up of games for 09 and not all have been announced yet. WOW!

thereapersson5614d ago

It just shows how excited people are for this, or how eager they are to troll. Either way, this game is going to be big!

BYE5614d ago

Snow is a great idea for part two, Naughty Dog will put a lot of detail into this as they did with water in part 1. Footsteps, snow dust which moves with the wind and tiny snowflakes on Drakes face. This will be groundbreaking.

And of course it's realtime, what do you expect. Part 1 had realtime cutscenes too so CGI Renders would be a step back ;)

uncharted was one of the best games i ever played, this looks like it will live up to the first.

Chubear5614d ago

"What's so special about Uncharted anyways" threads flooded on every single PS3 forum on the planet XD

The FUD for this game will go through the roof 2 weeks before it's launch... just like every single PS3 exclusive title. Up next - Killzone II. Hold on to your pants cause trolls are going to kick it into over drive February 1, lol.

Dark General5614d ago

Let them troll. Uncharted is a must play game. Seriously.

It's the Himalayas, bet your bottom dollar. And we'll see a drop off in the jungles, too. Probably India. This matches all the rumours.

Deviant5615d ago

i cannot believe uve srsly responded

Fiona5615d ago

i played all those game too, but i think uncharted has better graphics. much more pleasant to look at. gears just to grey. and i hope to see more colors in killzone too.

thor5614d ago (Edited 5614d ago )

Uncharted DOES have some issues like aliasing especially, and I think MGS4 and Gears 2 clearly beat it from a polish and spit-shine perspective. The amount of action on-screen and the amount of detail in both of those games also trumps Uncharted 1. You can say Uncharted looks nicer though because it does look fantastic just from an artistic perspective. And I literally remember my jaw dropping on that U-boat level so it definitely has its moments that exceed MGS4 and Gears 2, but both those games have their moments that exceed Uncharted's usual graphics.

Don't forget that Uncharted is also one of the most FUN games to play on the PS3 and that's why we should all be excited about a sequel.

EDIT: I take the disagrees to mean that you think Uncharted doesn't have aliasing (it clearly does unless you are blind), that Uncharted DOESN'T have jaw-dropping moments, and that Uncharted isn't fun. Thanks for your opinion.

sushipoop5614d ago

You don't have a PS3, militant07. Just stop lol. MGS4 and Uncharted both mop the floor with Gears of War 2. Get that Unreal Engine 3 trash outta here. Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 will be in leagues of their own so it's they're not even worth mentioning here.

stevenhiggster5614d ago

I Totally agree, get the unreal engine outta here, it looks crap! Seriously I dunno what people think is good about it. Yes the graphics it creates are highly detailed, but they have no substance, it all just looks like skins put over generic models to me? It all looks hollow. Who cares though!!!!!

Back On Topic...

I'm well excited about this, uncharted is definately my favorite PS3 game.

DaTruth5614d ago

has great graphics... Once all the textures finally pop-in.

cmrbe5614d ago

and i will say in terms of detail textures i go with gears but the overall graphics to Uncharted. Gears tend to just focus on the character models and proximity environment but Uncharted overall is better

Gears dose a great job in hiding graphics imperfection though use its dark and grey colour pallet as well as other effects like motion blur but uncharted is clean cut great graphics.

Do you guys remeber the last battle scene in Uncharted?. Up to now i still haven't seen anything like it yet.

OGharryjoysticks5614d ago

I'm going to have to give Uncharted top marks this gen overall because it did have problems here and there, but being able to look through the water that actually looks like water to the rocky bottom of the canal while your on a jet ski or being able to see the effects of the water on your character after being in water while in the detailed jungle with lighting that shines through individual leaves trumps all the other games I've ever seen. I am afraid that a move to snow might ruin the fun however because a snowy landscape presents far fewer colors and too many games today use limited colors.

JBaby3435614d ago (Edited 5614d ago )

You have a good point about the aliasing in Uncharted but it's not that bad and was mostly overlooked. I think Gears 2 and MGS4 are a little more polished as you say but then they came out at later dates as well, especially Gears 2, so you have to consider that.

As far as things going on on-screen, I'd have to disagree. After playing Gears 2 with my brother over Thanksgiving it suffers from the same weakness as the first in that it still only has a few guys on-screen at once. Uncharted had more enemies, plus still very good graphics all around, better lighting/dynamic shading on all characters, plus the best water effects on sometimes huge scales of any game I've seen. So you could say that overall those two games look a little better but I would not say they "trump" Uncharted.

Just to add, in my opinion Uncharted doesn't get enough attention for its textures. It has amazing textures almost everywhere and in the underground parts, particularly The Vault level, they are nothing short of spectacular.

BYE5614d ago

Yep, Uncharted is the best looking console game and part 2 will push the PS3 hardware even more cause they learned how to handle it. Can't wait for this blockbuster.

Abnor_Mal1444d ago

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1444d ago (Edited 1444d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1444d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1443d ago (Edited 1443d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1444d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1444d ago (Edited 1444d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1444d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931443d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
