Uncharted: Drake's Fortune goes Gold ....!!!!

Is there also a sort of auto aiming like in Warhawk when on foot with a machinegun?

I thought I saw that in the video of the first 10 minutes but I am not too sure.
 
Awesome trailer, hyped more for this game than any other this winter ( COD4 for multiplayer though ).....without a doubt the best looking game so far this generation.
 
Good news Demo next Thursday (US only i guess)

It’s not often that we can jump up for joy, and say that we were right about something, but today, Amy Henning has confirmed our initial report regarding the Uncharted Demo on the Official Playstation blog.

If you remember our previous story from last week, we unearthed a statement from Evan Wells, the co-president of Naughty Dog, stating that the demo for their upcoming game will probably hit PSN twelve days before the release of the game. We stood behind that report stating…

“As far as we are concerned, an Uncharted demo will be out 12 days before the American release…so in about 2 weeks! We can’t wait to get on down with Nathan Drake (uh, perhaps the wrong choice of words) on November 8th (at least on the US Playstation Store). Exciting stuff aye?”

Amy Henning, Gaming Director at Naughty Dog, replied to a poster on the Official Playstation blog stating the official release date of the demo…

“Hi Kittonwy — the demo will go live on the PSN next Thursday, November 8th.”

Well, as it turns out, the date we stated, wasn’t just close, it was right on the money! The Uncharted demo will grace your Playstation 3 on November 8th.

In terms of details, all we know about the demo at this point, is that it will start with Drake and Elena parachuting out of their plane onto an island. IGN believes that the demo will include the first four levels, but we here at Ripten find that highly unlikely.

I downloaded a new trailer from the US PSN and it looks stunning, I think it is the same trailer as linked in this thread but in HD 720p

I heard the same things about Resistance, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword and Lair too.
You can't say it's "gonna be a great game regardless", because it might not be. I've read reports that most of the game involves you simply shooting explosive barrels, which seemed pretty evident in the opening 10 minutes movie.

However, the game does look promising, which is all I will say.
 
Resistance and Motorstorm are good games, nothing more. Motorstorm better than Resistance, but either way I wouldn't say great. Great would be something like Half-Life 2, which is a great game.

Certain terms are banded about too freely these days such as "Great" for stuff which is no more than "Good" and terms like "World-Class" in football for players that are just "Great".
 
I thought Heavenly Sword was GREAT! - Thats just my opinion though, I know a few didn't rate it because it was short, but that didn't bother me I loved it.

Motorstorm is also a good game. (brilliant online)

Am yet to play Resistance and Lair - I doubt Lair will impress me going off the reviews and user comments (it never did look great to me)

Can you show me those reports as ive not read anything like that, is the simply shooting explosives barrels the same as most FPS games or is it different? I watched the first 10 mins trailer and old nate only shot 2 barrels. All ive seen is a game with elements of Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Gears of War and others games mixed in. There was a video of part of a jetski level where you was using a grenade launcher to blow up barrels maybe this is the most of the game you was talking about?
 
It's more that all the sections I've read about all seem to mention blowing up of barrels.

The opening scene, the jetski section, a section around a waterfall(?).

This is the Jetski section: http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/uncharted-drakes-fortune-jetski-battle-313593.php

It all looks stunning, especially the water, then the explosions from the frankly, ridiculous number of barrels, look terrible, unrealistic and don't have enough water effects which it should have.

However, either than the barrels in the water, it's fair to say I have been completely won over by the looks of Uncharted. Roll on launch.

Ah i see were the confusion is, like i said the jet ski aint the start, the link is in this thread somewhere from the first 10 mins of the game on the boat under attack. BTW the Jet Ski vid is from an older version of the game, the explosions and effects have changed if you hunt about you will find pics of the same level but with current build effects and they look different. This is one game the developers have listened to what people have said an have acted on it from the changing of the fight controls to the girl being a bit less plain and now blonde lol. I still only really seen the Jet ski bit feature a lot of barrels, i guess like most shooters being third or first you need exploding barrels lol but i have never heard a review moaning about the amount of barrels to blow up in the game. Maybe its an achievement to blow up all the excessive amount of barrels ?:)

Edit heres the first 10 mins of the game SPOILER WARNING though if you dont want to see the start

I was aboard the hype train untill seeing the jetski barrel exploding level, which looked rubbish. I'm still pretty hyped and looking forward to the demo, but damn if that wasn't some generic and dull looking gameplay. Some of the other vids looked great fun, which leaves me a little :confused:
 
Yeah, the obsession with barrels is a bit funny in this one. A lot of other places have ripped the game for it. There's even ancient exploding barrels :/
