Quantcast



Based on how solid and tight the gameplay demo of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was at the Sony press conference, it's hard to believe it isn't actually launching until November of this year. Still, I have always been a fan of the "it's done when it's done" philosophy when it comes to development.

At this point, what about Uncharted 2 hasn't been said already? It's gorgeous to look at, cinematic, funny when it needs to be, and doesn't take itself too seriously. If by some series of unfortunate events you missed watching this segment of the conference, what are you waiting for? The audience cheering totally makes it.

Last minute reminder: Don't forget that the game's multiplayer beta is almost upon us!

Impressed I was when I saw it on another site before, very impressed. Love it how it's not super realistic, has so much 'hollywood' in it, and just looks so dynamic and fun. I may buy this game and just go to my friends house and play it on his PS3.

@foolishwolf: PS3 is a console why would they do a deal through a file network? Anyway you either purchase a copy of Infamous or be a member of Qore or purchase that episode with the free beta. Can't do that now of course.

@Foolish

I think it came with pre-orders for Infamous.

When I saw that this a.m., I think I may have cried a little.

How the heck did he not get cut up into a million pieces by a chopper's minigun? The movement mechanics are really great though, very fluid.

Cant wait for this game. Going back and playing the first one again the controls and gameplay where not perfect and I hope they fix some of the problems I had in this game. If so it would make the experience even more enjoyable. Also cant wait to see what multiplayer has instore. Let me see "Games to get in november": Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, L4D 2. The holy trinity of two.

That looked beautiful. I really hope this sequel has less generic cover-based gunfights and more free running and action sequences like this one.

Beta can be obtained from Qore annual subscription or inFamous preorders.

It's funny how much like Hollywood this game is, though. The helicopter shoots things and they react, even the planter hanging still when it blows out the first wall and the light fixtures in the downstairs office area. But, chairs and desks cannot be penetrated by its high caliber ammo. :p

The game looks phenomenal and the voice acting/script looks to be better than the first game. Best lines:

"Yeaahhhh, that's usually how it works." Re: climbing
"We were... we were almost in that." Re: building collapse
