What we will say is that the new environments featured in this trailer are enticing; not just because they look really good, but also because they reassure us that we won't be spending the whole game trudging about a jungle setting. Also: Jet skis!

When did Lara have a sex change?
Psaakyrn @ Oct 31st 2007 11:14AM
Ever since Indiana Jones got a sex change.
Ten Dolla Bill @ Oct 31st 2007 12:12PM
haha fair enough. So Indy switched teams, then switched back and changed his name?
Love the originality Sony!
FidliousWong @ Oct 31st 2007 1:44PM
You know, if they could actually MAKE an Indiana Jones game that wasn't a shame and embarassment to everyone involved, this complaint would be valid (incidently, since when is Indiana Jones the first explorer?). But they can't, so it's not.
SoulBlade @ Oct 31st 2007 10:23AM
the trailer does a good job of making me want it. looks good.
F. Rocker or Fernando R.? @ Oct 31st 2007 10:23AM
I don't think that this game is going to save the PS3 this Christmas.
Drekken79 @ Oct 31st 2007 10:26AM
This game is going to be amazing. Its funny how commited you are to hating Sony.
F. Rocker or Fernando R.? @ Oct 31st 2007 10:33AM
So, do you think that this game is going to sell like Mario Galaxy (1.5 millions of pre-orders) or amazing like Heavenly Sword (just 200,000 in two months)?
The only games that are going to help Sony is Final Fantasy (2009) and Metal Gear solid (delayed).
Even Guitar Hero 3 is for Wii is selling more than the PS3 version.
megaStryke @ Oct 31st 2007 10:36AM
I was almost afraid that Fernando had become a fair and balanced commenter these past few days. It would seem that may fears have been alleviated.
Matt B @ Oct 31st 2007 10:38AM
It's not meant to save, it's just another notch against the meme that the PS3 has no games.
but it does have the chance to be the sleeper hit of the holiday season.
F. Rocker or Fernando R.? @ Oct 31st 2007 10:41AM
I haven't bashed Sony or the PS3 since I return to Joystiq.
In fact, I'm making some good comments, fair and balanced comments. And I like this way better, even I receive more hearts =)
This was just and opinion of this game... I don't see any compelling feature in this game... only the graphics, and thats what almost all Sony fanboys (not everyone) look in a game, just graphics.
This game is not compelling to be a system seller. It's just an opinion, without bashing or trolling.
Psaakyrn @ Oct 31st 2007 10:42AM
Frankly, what I worry is that this game will go in the way of Psychonauts: High production values, superb gameplay, engrossing story, highly rated, but because of lack of advertising, undersell badly. If this game received even half as much advertising budget than Halo 3, there's a good chance it'll rake a much better production cost/profit ratio.
FidliousWong @ Oct 31st 2007 10:52AM
Frankly, I don't think this game will sell too well but honestly, it establishes a series. Yes, you heard me right. Otherwise, why is Drake's Fortune a subtitle? Uncharted will become the name of the series.
And besides, if the game looks good, it looks good. It exists in a genre that is underrepresented. Will it compete with Mario? No. But what kind of braindead monkey makes those comparisons. Hell, Mario Party 8 is a million seller. That is a HORRIBLE FUCKING GAME. But it's got Mario so it's got sales. You're expecting the first game of a franchise to somehow go toe to toe with a 20+ year old franchise... yeah, fair comparison right there.
Psaakyrn @ Oct 31st 2007 11:00AM
And besides, there's no point comparing with Mario since they're aimed at DIFFERENT TARGET AUDIENCES to begin with. Mario selling well would have little to no effect on the sales of Drake's Fortune. Especially when you consider that if someone could afford both a PS3 and a Wii, money's probably not going to be too much of a problem.
GRANTED @ Oct 31st 2007 11:16AM
wow f.r. thanks for telling us you are fair and balanced. it's appropriate phrasing because you have about as much credibility as fox news.
i don't care that you don't acknowledge anything good about sony--it's not my problem to know why you blindly hate something so inconsequential. what bothers me is how much of a douchebag you are whenever you decide to give everyone a blatantly biased fanboy op.ed. and then pretend like your opinions are more correct or fair that the opinion of someone who likes something instead of hates it.
you've had good posts in the past. i've +hearted you. did you learn your lesson? no. instead, you are still a troll. it's just that now you are also a pussy, afraid of getting booted again.
darth balls @ Oct 31st 2007 12:00PM
this game is the reason i finally went out and got the 40 gb ps3, and i'm not the only one. this game is gonna rock. every time i see something new(trailer, screen shot) make me more excited for it. this trailer has definately raised my excitement to a new level. this is the type of game that if you play it at a buddies house you are gonna want it. it's definately not gonna sell as much as mario galaxy as there are way more wii's out there right now than ps3's and duh it's mario it's nintendo's biggest game, how can you even compare these two games? it's not gonna sell as much as halo 3, not even close obviously as there are also more 360's out there right now and major cheif is xbox's mario. but i have no doubt this game will sell well over a million and as more and more people see/ play this game it will continue to sell. and by the time uncharted 2 comes out this will have turned into a HUGE franchise, and will be a system seller.
and there is more than just final fantasy and mgs coming out for the ps3 pretty soon, how about haze, GT5(kicks the shite out of pgr), another one that no other system can compare to is little big planet, and many more. as far as the 360 goes the only game i am stighly wanting to play is mass effect, all the other games are meh. besides halo 3 which already came out i dont see to much for the 360 coming out before the end of the year.
gonk @ Oct 31st 2007 12:35PM
mario's aimed at a different demographic than uncharted? i thought both were going for 5-55 year olds?
I'd get both if they were on the system I already have. Oh well, guess I'll get neither, since I only let myself buy 1 console per gen
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Oct 31st 2007 10:35AM
The trailer makes it look good.
Noshino @ Oct 31st 2007 12:04PM
The game makes any trailer look good....
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Oct 31st 2007 2:36PM
Not the one with the stop and go jet ski shooting. That looked terrible.
rruss79 @ Oct 31st 2007 10:37AM
The game definitely look good but some of the gameplay elements I saw in other videos have me a bit worried. I am really hoping this game will be great and not a days rental which is what I got from Heavenly Sword.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 31st 2007 12:07PM
yeah, wasn't a fan of the whole jet ski part. Seems kinda lame that you have to keep stopping for the girl (who by the way got uglier when they made her a dirty blond) to shoot things.
David @ Oct 31st 2007 10:38AM
When does this come out?
Matt B @ Oct 31st 2007 10:39AM
NOV.20
Einhanderkiller @ Oct 31st 2007 7:18PM
The video says November 19th.
xSpartanF13x @ Oct 31st 2007 10:38AM
This looks great, I just dont like the title of this game. Drake sounds goofy to me. But is it enough to make peeps go out n buy a PS3???
rivaldi22 @ Oct 31st 2007 11:24AM
I don't think Sir Francis Drake would agree with you.
darth balls @ Oct 31st 2007 12:16PM
i just bought one because i know this game was coming out soon. of course i knew other games werent far behind, but i wanted to make sure i had a system before this game came out. then i see this trailer for the first time today and has definately made me even more happy with my decision.
DatGuy83 @ Oct 31st 2007 10:39AM
This game looks better everytime they show it.
Just look at the corpse that Drake finds about halfway into the video... it is way better than the old (Scooby-Doo) version.
Ratchet and Clank was awesome and this looks to finish Sony one two punch of fantasic games for the holiday season.
James @ Oct 31st 2007 10:48AM
epic lulz "fantastic"
Vidikron (FU) @ Oct 31st 2007 10:55AM
@James
Ummm... R&C IS a fantastic game and this one looks like it maybe as well. lulz @ u
Count Noobula @ Oct 31st 2007 10:58AM
Sony might have the one-two punch. Microsoft on the other hand has that (Halo 3 and Mass Effect), followed by an uppercut with PGR4.
Nintendo on the other hand went in with a right hand lead with the Wii itself, then is doing a 1-2 punch with Mario Galaxy and Sonic and Mario at Olympics, followed by an uppercut with Soul Calibur Legends, then finishing it off with a dragon punch of other titles such as Zack and Wiki, Victorious Boxers, Fire Emblem, and Nights.
All in all I think the Wii is going to take the Holidays hands down. Microsoft and Sony are in deep trouble this Holiday season to me.
Phranctoast @ Oct 31st 2007 11:05AM
bewaree of the spellin/gramer police?
Count Noobula @ Oct 31st 2007 10:41AM
The environments look good, but the combat looks kind of lack-luster. I realize that combat may not be the core of the game play, exploration most likely is, but still the combat looks half-ass.
James @ Oct 31st 2007 10:44AM
One can hope that it's fixed upon launch.
deaftly @ Oct 31st 2007 10:53AM
This game just screams generic
Psaakyrn @ Oct 31st 2007 11:13AM
But it's a high quality generic! (It's basically a reimagined version of Indiana Jones far as I can tell)
Marty @ Oct 31st 2007 10:58AM
I'm not impressed... there's nothing here that we haven't seen before.
Vidikron (FU) @ Oct 31st 2007 11:00AM
Is that your requirement for a good game then? There are very few games out there that actually do anything that hasn't been done before.
JerJerBinks @ Oct 31st 2007 11:42AM
So what did you think of Bioshock and Halo 3? Were you wow'ed by their innovative gameplay that was unlike anything you have ever seen before?
There is no innovation in video gaming. The video gaming and movie industrys are at this point unable to innovate, but they continue to find ways to refine what has come before them and tell provactive stories. It will be very rare to find a game that is truly innovative in the next 5-10 years. True innvoation will require a complete shift in how games are played.
License to ill @ Oct 31st 2007 3:30PM
I'm not impressed... there's nothing here that we haven't seen before.
Funny I say that every time I see a Wii game...
na2ru1 @ Oct 31st 2007 11:05AM
Stop bashing bout the game jus coz the graphics are too smooth.
Y wud u not want to have a decent front cover for a decent book?
whether gameplay is gd or not, presentation is just as important. I highly doubt GeOW wud have received as muuch attention as it has without the quality graphics since it WAS [THE] game every fanboy mentioned when backing up their claim.
The milk man @ Oct 31st 2007 11:06AM
This game is shaping up to be a good one. I have no intention on buying a PS3 but if I did this would be a purchase.
mcatrage @ Oct 31st 2007 11:05AM
Looks really cool but it's also one of those games they can mess up really easily.
GRANTED @ Oct 31st 2007 11:23AM
i dont even understand why someone would bother making a comment like that. "looks good but it could be bad." thanks, socrates.
Jeff @ Oct 31st 2007 11:09AM
I'll say it bluntly: this game has always looked fucking phenomenal, and it has only gotten better. I want a PC port. Fair trade for Unreal, imho.
Ratchet and Clank, Drake's fortune, Unreal 3, and some good non-exclusives: GH III, Rock band, Oblivion, COD 4.... those $400 ps3s would definitely not look so bad to me if I wasn't a PC whore.
Noshino @ Oct 31st 2007 12:10PM
hahah, tough luck Jeff.
But yah, Naughty Dog is a freaking amazing studio, one of the most surprising things is that for this game, they actually started from 0, no codes, just nothing...
I also thought about having it on PC, but then again, somehow I have gotten used to the DualShock, but yah, if these guys can pull such mechanics/graphics on the PS3 at this early stage, imagine what they could have been able to make for a high end pc....
jsn @ Oct 31st 2007 11:13AM
game looks good, I'm sure it will be fun. All the naysaying seems misguided to me.
robert @ Oct 31st 2007 11:22AM
if this game was exclusive to anything but the PS3 we would hear nothing but praise about how good it looks, how smooth and fluid the animation is and how it was another reason to get a (insert game system here) instead of a PS3.
CaptainAmericaX @ Oct 31st 2007 12:27PM
Sorta like how sony fanboys would be screaming "the wii is for kiddies!" if LBP was on the Wii?
Plus playing the "What If" Game is stupid.
If this game were on the 360 exclusively I probably still wouldn't buy it since I've already played Tomb Raider and there are other interesting games coming out in the same week basically.
Right now I'm just finishing up BioShock, starting VF 5 with ONLINE PLAY. Then comes Assassin's Creed, NFS: ProStreet, Mass Effect, and ooddles more of gaming goodies.
Plus theres SMG for the Wii and other titles that I'm interesting in playing on that system as well.
In short the delaystation 3 still has no games. And with MGS4 being delayed until Q2 it just cements this notion.
