Naughty Dog's unveiled a slew of new Uncharted 3 gameplay features - including, yes, split/screen gameplay - as well as confirming the PS3 exclusive will be receiving a multiplayer beta and when fans can expect it to go live.
Definitely GotY Front runner IMO, Cant wait to get in the MP beta and test out the changes, especially the sprint button.
Edit @ below
I agree U2 movement was perfect, going from walking to running with just a flick of the analog.
But if the animations are seamless the sprint button could be a good thing, sprinting, dodging bullets and diving into cover that sort of thing.......Cant wait til July 5th to find out.
I really love Uncharted 2's multiplayer and I can't wait to play the Uncharted 3 beta.
I wonder how that sprint ability will work. It didn't seem like the game needed a sprint button since movement was already pretty fast and fluid. I trust that Naughty Dog know what they are doing though.
It wont be GOTY imo simply because Uncharted 2 was such an epic masterpiece and perfect. Even tho this game has a chance to be the best game this year, the Media will label it as Uncharted 2.5 compared to the last game. I expect a game like Last Guardian or Oblivion to be GOTY, anyways, UC3 is my personal favorite.
uncharted 2 was good...it was NOT a "masterpiece." i don't get this praise. it was a very fun game worthy of multiple play-throughs and it had a satisfying multiplayer that stood the test of time. why overstate it?
as for the beta, i hope it's not limited to PS plus members...or i guess i'll finally be getting PS plus. :-P
EDIT: I know i'll get slammed with disagrees and probably lose bubbles for simply saying uncharted is very good and not "the greatest game of all time." ...how sad is that?
Yes, everyone has a right to their OPINION, if you believe this, you must NEVER complain about disagrees regardless of how "ridiculous" it may be. Secondly, people may disagree for a entirely different reason altogether (maybe your post history has something to do with it, idk) My guess is your poor reasoning and general assumptions about the "disagree" voters.
What irks me is that people are complaining about losing bubbles because if "this n that". YOU HAVE 5, which is the default no. of bubbles N4G gives. I have 3 and guess what, both of them were taken in 1 THREAD, 1 BLOODY THREAD, simply because I stated comments from a Turn 10 fanbase in their ACTUAL SITE. With such absurd reason to take out 2 of my bubbles, do you see me complain about it?
My advice, just comment and state your opinion without putting up an act of "self-righteousness" on the internet, that alone would give me all the reason to remove your bubbles (don't worry, I didn't).
Glad you noticed the ultra smooth in-game character animation in U2 not the jerky animations we usually have in FPSs. I noticed that more after playing MGS4 then playing U2 again!
So the double rendering used in 3-D was made more useful by displaying them SPLIT SCREEN - what a nice easy coincidence!
So U3 is like playing on a huge arse 3DS screen where you can turn on or off the 3-D effect? nice!
Did you see that airplane shoot Drake to the ground!? Vehicular combat?
Naughty Dog already made so many stuff here worthy of the title Uncharted 3! Leaps & bounds!
"EDIT: I know i'll get slammed with disagrees and probably lose bubbles for simply saying uncharted is very good and not "the greatest game of all time." ...how sad is that? "
You probably forget : IMO
because others said it's the best game of all time, and you are not better than them ,)
I hope more people give this a chance! It's a shame how Uncharted 2 was overlooked by some. For those of us who tried it, we got to experience something truly amazing!
"New modes such as ’3 team’ deathmatch (2v2v2) and free for all" that is so cool and simple i bet alot of games from now on with multiplayer will incorporate this now
If the Split screen Has To Be In Small square not just a line separating the bottom from top or side to side then id rather they go the Route of San Andreas CO-OP or Fable 3.... Cool gran turismo 5 looks nice on 2player , ......................Reply To Alpha-Male22 it might work like when you and Sully where in the rainforest or You and that Evil Back Stabbing Friend Where Robbing that Museum ' and it wouldnt take much graphical hit
Shared screen wont work. It's split, and that's what fans asked for, and that's what they wanted to do from the start.
They are delivering the goods and doing everything necessary in my book to be the "Go to MP" game
I am concerned with them doing killstreaks (medal rewards). I hope they don't go too crazy and keep the focus on teamwork, platforming, and shooting. I don't want crazy things like nades that split into three and things like that. UC2 has always been about the core gameplay and if they can tweak the issues from UC2 they will have a winner.
Remove the boosters IMO, or make them very different from each other and effective, keep the killstreaks balanced and minimal (the focus is on gameplay and skill), bring back the emphasis on platforming by giving us more health so people aren't afraid to actually platform-- and give us more map interactivity within platforming (shutting doors, opening traps, etc), give us lobbies, ditch Bungie's matchmaking/no join-in feature.
If they give us lobbies then that alone gives us freedom and choice
Well, that wouldn't really work well with uncharted but I completely agree about the stupid boxes. Luckily my tv is big enough to where it won't cause too much of an issue but it's still a pain in the ass. I had the same problem with Resident Evil 5.
uncharted's soundtrack is amazing no need for custom soundtracks. Most games i would say yes but uncharted no but I wont say no to it. Just think its unnecessary for this game.
i agree with custom soundtracks, Its not like there is music playing during the MP, so it would fit perfectly, i would atleast love to have the option.
This game will be HUGE. GOTY Contender!
