GamingBolt: "We recently interviewed The Farm51, developers of Deadfall Adventures, and they revealed a lot of things to us including comparisons with Naughty Dog's Uncharted series."
Deadfall Adventures was released way back in 2013. The game has a poor reputation, but looking back it certainly didn't deserve it.
I really liked it.
I even own the collector's edition, though I got it for dirt cheap off Amazon years ago.
Really is a solid game though.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has a lot to live up to as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is an incredible and near-perfect game.
I cant even say what the point was its easily the worst story in the series. The online was a whole lot of fun though but overall doesn't come even close to 2
Villains were all over the place in this… one second they wanted Drake dead, the next they needed him, then they want him dead again, then they coulda killed him, but poisoned his friend instead, then coulda shot him again, but had brunch with him, then needed him alive, then coulda mowed him down, but decided to kill him by fire and let him escape… Uncharted 2 was way better. 😅😅
This was actually my least favorite in the series. Didn't have that same impact that part 2 set.
Uncharted 2 is the pinnacle of the series (to me).
Granted, 4 had the best story in my opinion, but 2 was the overall best game.
A decade after its release, how does Uncharted 3 fare today? Does its story still work? Was its precursor’s legacy a bedrock or quicksand for its own aspirations?
When arguably the weakest game in the series is still awesome and more fun than most games today, you know you're onto a winner!
They had to make some weird choices as far as story went because the actor for Cutter had to bail which left a few holes in the story.
Uncharted is one of my favourite series and while the leap from 2 to 3 was not nearly as big as the leap from 1 to 2, I think it was an amazing experience none the less.
I really liked part 3 ( Among Thieves is still the best in my opinion) My only complaint was the interactions with the villains and how they were a missed opportunity, Linda MacMahon (Marlowe) was an interesting antagonist due to the history with Sully and Nate but it fails basically flat especially with her ending. And I couldn't care about Navaro 2.0.
What I did love and made me care was Cutter, in the short time he was in the game you could feel that the guy was a good treasure hunter for example when he pulled his own notebook with the clues he founds so the team can escape a room.
It was a small touch that add a lot to the character.
I have mixed feelings on the series. I still own all of them on the PS3, and the collection for PS4, but I didn't truly "love" any of the games until 4.
They're good games, but they always stumble on some element.
The first is good, but the climbing mechanics weren't exactly fine tuned with the first showing. Not to mention the spongey enemies if you played on anything past normal; but you're then faced with a fairly unchallenging game experience.
The second mostly fixed the climbing, but added in a pretty clumsy stealth mechanic.
Three was just two with a new story.
Four got it right though.
I don't remember once getting annoyed by any mechanic had in the game.
I know that everyone has a soft spot for 2, and 3 is sort of the black sheep of the series; but they did, overall, get progressively better. Which doesn't always happen.
"I think it’s inevitable but Uncharted had a lot of focus on jump and run passages whereas we have real puzzles. By having a first person view we can also have a deeper shooting experience where the action gets transported in a better way,” he said."
Oh yeah because only FPS games can have good solid action experiences /s
Sorry but I felt more of a hero while playing Uncharted, a third person game then when I play a FPS. At least I can "bound" with the character more and enjoy the character the developer has created instead of hiding his face and giving me the "You'll feel like the main character" excuse.
Even the font resembles the one of Uncharted. Still looks interesting. Willing to give it a try if it makes it's way to the ps3.
When the game was first announced, they welcomed the comparisons and said nothing. It was free publicity for them.
Now that that died down, they bring up to not compare them, getting more publicity again.
At the end of the day, it is obvious that they are looking for a style reminiscent of Uncharted. Done differently, obviously, being it a first-person game, but still.
At the end of the day, this game comes off as a game that is simply building off of the success of other games, but shows promise in itself.
While I am a bit worried with it being published by Nordic, I still very much interested in the title and will be watching it up to and after release.
Well I can see why people compare it to Uncharted the font just screams Uncharted, but at least it's not as bad as that Unearthed game. I'm interested in this game looking forward to see more of it.
