Opposable Thumbs sat down for tea and biscuits with Christophe Balestra, co-President of Naughty Dog, ostensibly to chat about the super-great-looking Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. And chat they did, Balestra trotting out some familiar sentiments when it comes to PS3 exclusives:
"In terms of Blu-Ray, we just couldn't have made Uncharted without it; with Uncharted we have almost filled it (91 percent). We're also using the hard drive to pre-cache data from the Blu-Ray disc. That allows us to stream up to 12 streams for sound, load level data super fast and more importantly to stream textures constantly to guarantee high-res quality on the screen."
91% seems such an odd number. Why not just whack in some HD cutscenes, fill the thing, eh? Balestra also divulges a little on future plans for Uncharted, suggesting it's but the first game in a franchise, and that the game's trophy (ie achievements) system will later be incorporated into Home.
*and to give you an idea of the power of the PS3, we're using only 30 percent of the Cell processor.*
Yeah that's what I thought too

Anyway, wouldn't it be cool if Insomniac teamed up with Sony to make a CG Uncharted movie? We could have the next Indiana-style series on our hands.
Not possible on XBOX 360. Ouch!
AAA Review scores guranteed. Ouch!
Action adventure platformer, something Microboyz know nothing about. Ouch!
