Uncharted two information blow out oh my gooooooooooooooooooood @!!!!

- the biggest thing in the article imo is that there's a new girl named chloe frazer. Gi asked about elena and sully's return but they had no comment.
- the story is about looking for the ships that marco polo "lost" while returning home to italy.
- melee combat is more dynamic now.
- they mentioned they were using only 30% of the ps3's power with drake's fortune and are planning to use nearly 100% with among thieves.
- a demo was shown to gi with drake going through a city (i believe in nepal), and he's stealthily taking out guards and escaping the city.
- nolan north returns to be drake and chloe frazer is played by claudia black (stargate sg-1, fargate).
- the sixaxis mechanics were ditched for such things as throwing grenades.
- one of the weapons revealed is a rocket launcher that chloe uses (might only be for the cinematic).
- there are no load screens.
- the score is being composed by greg edmonson (same guy from the first one).
- weapons can be used in any stance (running, behind cover, hanging, climbing a wall, etc.).
- you can now move while aiming behind cover.

"in uncharted 2, every character fully interacts with the dynamic geometry moving around them, and environments in the background are real parts of the game world"

"if drake's on top of a train, he's going to be shaking with the train as it moves around"
"as he gets inside, his moveset is going to change, and he's going to be a lot more secure because the wind's not blowing."

- the graphics look better than uncharted 1.
- button sequence cinematics such as the final boss have changed so now drake is now fully controllable in these parts...i think (this one's also hard to describe).
- climbing seems improved upon. You can climb lamp posts now among other new things.
- if there is an enemy patrolling a rooftop you're climbing a wall to, you can pull him off the roof while hanging on the wall.

melee combat is more dynamic now.

Grapples?

he's stealthily taking out guards and escaping the city.

Hmm, that could be very nice if not over done. I want MGS esque stealth sequences where failure in being stealthy means tougher fire fights and not game over (Splinter Cell).

there are no load screens.

So there'll be installs?

the score is being composed by greg edmonson (same guy from the first one).

I actually loved Uncharted's score. It really made you feel like you're on some grand adventure where the light, action, horror and grim moments were beautifully handled.

in uncharted 2, every character fully interacts with the dynamic geometry moving around them, and environments in the background are real parts of the game world

I hope it's a little more dynamic than swaying untouchable trees

"if drake's on top of a train, he's going to be shaking with the train as it moves around"
"as he gets inside, his moveset is going to change, and he's going to be a lot more secure because the wind's not blowing."

I can see some wonderful use of SIXAXIS functionality here.

- they mentioned they were using only 30% of the ps3's power with drake's fortune and are planning to use nearly 100% with among thieves. ...................the graphics look better than uncharted 1.

*Prepared to be blown away*

- climbing seems improved upon. You can climb lamp posts now among other new things.
- if there is an enemy patrolling a rooftop you're climbing a wall to, you can pull him off the roof while hanging on the wall.

Seems like they're making it even more smooth with Drake scaling more surfaces than he did in Uncharted. The added element of stealth mechanics sound brilliant as long as they keep it "optional" allowing different approaches to passing an area. (A little bit like The Two Thrones).

Needless to say, am getting friggin excited.

did UC1 had loads ? i remember reading it was streamed off the disc ..

Now that you mention it, it had only one load at start.....pretty much like GTA.

[manigamer]

wtf, really 100% of ps3's power now that's what im hyped for this game now... no game has gone 100% on the ps3 yet !

[nain]

Now its coming true.Remeber the source namely legen of the dpad magazine told about the secret london ps3 meeting.He said about GOW 3 and Uncharted 2.He also said regarding the psp versions of MOtorStorm And little big Planet and the most famous quote about the price cuts.

See of these 5 rumours 3 are confirmed which are about GOW 3 uncharted 2 and lbp psp version.Two are remaining and this cofirms that price cuts are happening in march.

[Hamza Resisted]

This is gonna be terrific game especially the part where the SIXAXIS makes a comeback . It is gonna use the full potential of PS3 hardware !
@nain it does not confirm the price cut as there was already a thread which told that Sony officialy claimed there is gonna be no price cut . Just waiting for the Motorstorm PSP version and the release date of FF13 !!
