Uncharted 2, MAG AND InFamous news!?
Awesomeness!

Rock Bottom5475d ago

Hallucinate5475d ago

ThanatosDMC5475d ago

I'm getting more and more interested with MAG.

HS835475d ago

Hey guys Im thinking of picking up a PS3 next month strictly for MAG. Any good deals out there?

onijutsu5475d ago

wait till e3, i have a feeling that they will announce a price drop then.
if they don't then what do you loose; nothing.

HS835475d ago

okay, will do!
Im just impatient! LOL :)

Why o why5475d ago

Too many games on the horizon:)

TheMART5475d ago

All good news... BUT WHAT ABOUT A PRICE DROP SONY???

pwnsause5475d ago

oh yea lets talk about price drop 1 month before E3, great Idea mart, what a great business man you are. seriously, you would drive a company towards bankruptcy if you were running it. do you actually beleive they would announce such a thing a month prior to E3?

TheMART5475d ago

Just saying they are too late already.

Would they have dropped the price to 299 just before last Christmas, then the consolewar would have possible have been fired up a bit. Now anything is to late. Every day makes them missing more possible sales that go to the competition. Yes dude, even now with a month to go before the E3.

And I bet they WON'T drop the price because they can't. No more money to loose. I expect Sony to drop it just before Christmas 2009. It ain't logic to drop the price just before summer with no great exclusive like last year when MGS4 was there just before summer to drive sales further.

pwnsause5475d ago

Mart, nothing is ever too late.

as long as they continue to offer gamers with AAA quality games, and that they bring a great amount every year and they keep suppressing the price to make it more affordable for them and you, then its never too late.

TheMART5475d ago

"Mart, nothing is ever too late."

Wrong. In a console life cycle which runs about 5 to 6 years (yes even said having a life of 10 years the main cycle is 5 to 6 years) every month later means a lot.

And if the competition is building steady on a larger marketshare, that will have more mouth to mouth sales. In this economic crisis people choosing a 360 that costs about half of the PS3, and do about the same, with ease.

Sony has made the PS3 3rd this gen themselves. The next round of consoles will arrive in 2011/2012 and you can bet Sony doesn't want to come late at the party again. They want to outdo Microsoft this time in launching their next gen console. Thus: its well in 2009 now, that leaves 1.5 to 2.5 years to shine. Thats a short time if you keep delaying the pricedrop to the 200 Dollar/Euro price point were the mass of people buys.

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

P_Bomb1451d ago (Edited 1451d 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_Mal1451d 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_Bomb1450d ago (Edited 1450d 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.

MadLad1452d 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.

Profchaos1451d ago (Edited 1451d 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

Rimeskeem1452d ago

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

Movefasta19931451d 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.
