Uncharted developer discusses PSN demo, HD support

yey, an exclusive game that's not being ported to PC with extra content.

Seriously, those who call this a Tomb-raider rip have to seriously look at their halo's, their GoW's, their whatever the newest FPS is. None of these games are innovative...they are fun however. So stop shitting on everything that is posted just because you have some wierd obsession with hating Sony.

btw fernando...you can't possibly enjoy the Wii that much. It's actually a terrible system unless you have some people over for some party gaming..playing the wii by yourself is equivalant to staring at the ceiling.

too many jealous people here, jealous of this great game.

If this was on the 360 many people would get way too excited.

wha?

how did this turn into a flamewar?

next up; why does joystiq have to put a snide comment in *EVERY SINGLE Playstation 3 related thread?

was the line "Over at Sony's developer and corporate soapbox" even necessary in this post? seriously. i *NEVER see that shit on any Wii or 360 related stories, unless it's an obvious and deserving entry.

this story was simply about a post on the Playstation Blog. there was no PR pimping or whoring in this story, simply an announcement that the game would support 1080i, which, last i checked, you guys bitched about incessantly for the past year when PS3 games *WOULDN'T support 1080i, and just supported the "p" resolutions, so those with older sets were screwed.

this story is Naughty Dog saying, "we feel you, and we've addressed the issue."

i don't see how snide comments about something that should make gamers with older HDTVs be treated with such obvious disdain.

i also noted that both stories i read today with the smarmy comments were from you, Dan. if you have such a bone to pick with Sony, despite their obvious efforts to make ammends for the stupidity of the past year, *WHY talk about it?

this is a "blog," right (which is what you guys fall back on whenever you get flack for these sorts of stories, but then you flip flop to "respected games journalists" when the need suits you: make up your minds, and act accordingly. no wavering)? you guys are like the equivilant of a tabloid mag for games here.

i get less biased news from places like Wii Fanboy, PSP/PS3 Fanboy, and 360 Fanboy, and *THOSE GUYS are the fanboy corners! you'd *EXPECT them to include snide, smarmy, and smartass remarks in every story.

i actually didn't mean to go off on this tirade, so bringing it back to Uncharted and the story at hand: the game supporting an older resolution is a *GOOD thing, and Naughty Dog's track record for making *EXCELLENT games on the past two generations of hardware gives me, at the least, the confidence to say that Uncharted will probably be *FUN.

remember when gamers used to talk about the *GAMES and how much *FUN they were? probably not, since most of you guys probably popped your gaming cherry on Halo.

for us older folks, however, we understand that *EVERY SINGLE GAME, doesn't have to be a "revolutionary," "innovative," "new," and "fresh" experience. simply *FUN.

also, not every game has to be a AAA effort. there's nothing wrong with an A, or even a B. really.

does the fact that Metal Gear Solid 3 is more polished and refined than Indigo Prophecy make Indigo a bad game? of *COURSE NOT. it's an awesome game.

is GTA: San Andreas any less of a kickass game even though it doesn't look or play like Halo? NO.

you joystiq readers and posters need to lighten up and remember that this is *GAMING. it's about *ENTERTAINMENT, and *ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.

yes, there will be your gaming equivalents of Citizen Kane, but there will also be your gaming equivalents of a Resident Evil Extinction (pure popcorn fluff, but entertaining nonetheless). as long as people are having fun and enjoying themselves, it ultimately doesn't matter.

Uncharted looks sweet, and the Gears of War comparisons shouldn't cause so much of a stir, since *NAUGHTY DOG THEMSELVES stated that they love the Gears of War cover system, and based their system off of it.

if you watched that 9 minute gameplay vid from Gamersyde (i think joystiq even did a story on it), you'd see that the game is a mashup of Gears of War (cover system), Resident Evil 4 (aiming and shooting), Tomb Raider (exploring an exotic, lush locale rife with mystery and intrigue), and Prince of Persia (platforming and brain puzzles). the thing that separates this game from all the other games out there that have tried to mish-mash genres, is that it looks like Uncharted is pulling it off.

my best friend, who's as much of a diehard gamer as i am, was concerned about Uncharted and it's mixing of various gaming elements, because of the history of those types of games never really working right. after watching the gameplay video, he admitted that it just might work.

considering that Naughty Dog was one of the *FIRST developers to make a game where there were *NO LOAD times or transition segments between levels with Jak and Daxter on the PS2 (a *YEAR ONE PS2 title, by the way), i have confidence in their skills. not to mention their creativity and knack for creating personable characters (ie, Crash Bandicoot, Jak, and Daxter).

it's almost like a companies past pedigree of quality doesn't apply anymore to some of you guys.

if that's the case, i feel sorry for what Bungie does next, as, apparently, the fact that they created the Halo series shouldn't matter to any of you guys, and i expect to see very similar comments when their next game is announced in a year or so (yeah, right. i forgot, when it's a primarily X Box developer, it's all good, but when it's a Sony developer, *EVERYTHING is held against them).

You Sony guys are a pretty defensive bunch eh?
Don't worry though, I'm sure system sales will catch up once they run out of Wii's to sell doing the holiday season!
All kidding aside, it would be nice to have another good game for the system. I've been using my 360 way more than the PS3 since I stopped playing Resistance, especially since Halo 3 is giving me my multi-player fix and then some!
Here's hoping Uncharted does will since I loved Jak and Daxter!

Well as an admitted 360 fanboy I will say that this title looks promising for the PS3. I would not lump it in as a rip off of anything until we have really seen the gameplay mechanics/storyline, etc.
On another note...wasn't it the SONY fanboys or was it just SONY screaming how every game on PS3 would run at 1080p...not that it makes a difference..I love Halo 3.
