I knew they would come around and realize how big of a franchise this game is going to become and give it the financial backing in advertising that it deserves GOING TO BE AAA

'We’ve recorded all of the footage for our Uncharted ad directly from a PlayStation 3 console, which we’re very proud of'

Looks like it will be all ingame footage aswell, which is always a bonus. ^_^

Kylen086010d ago

This game is gonna be awesome, when someone sees the commercial please link it to your comment:)

DrPirate6010d ago

I second this motion. Their commercials and marketing in general have greatly improved (especially for the U.S. and NA) especially considering the big BS their "This is Living" and "White Room" ads were. That new swiss army knife ad and game montage commercial actually make the system look desirable.

Many people don't relize but this could be to the PS3 as Crash Bandicoot was to the PS1.

DrPirate6010d ago

More importantly, in can be the first big action game people are looking forward to.

Last November, Gears of War sold alot of 360's, Sony is hoping to achieve a similar effect with advertising Uncharted and pushing the rest of their Q3-Q4 lineup. Brand Awareness is what they have to go for to successful market the PS3, and the new price doesn't hurt at all either. "Starting at 399" sound a hell of a lot better than 600 bucks.

Just a point, they've said they spent 1million on R&C adverts however i'm yet to see one over here in the UK, saying that, its not out here until friday so maybe we will see some then

Leg-End6010d ago

the person from sony said the ads will start on the 16 november - or something like that - i remember it being around a week after the games release date (9 nov)

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel1997d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_92997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno997d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy997d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel1989997d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando008996d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia997d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver997d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel1989997d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?
