Uncharted weapon select

Dutch Guy · 23 Oct 2008 at 08:45

I have finished Uncharted on normal and have all the medals except finish on hard and crushing.

If I start a new game on hard, can I use weapon select in the game and still get a medal after finishing or will this 'cheat' stop me getting medals?

it doesn't stop you getting medals - it does make it slightly less of an accomplishment, I completed the challenging mode using weapon select a lot and super-slow-motion if I got really stuck. Then I realised it wasn't as much fun and went and did it properly.

Yeah you can still get the trophies although iirc they disable weapon select in Crushing difficulty.

really? perhaps it was hard I did it on and cheated myself through then did crushing. Was ages ago though.

This thread has reminded me that I only have 'crushing' to complete to get the Platinum trophy

.... so many other good games taking up my time at the moment though!!!

Crushing is actually the quickest difficulty to complete it on imo, the reason for this is that the AI just charges you ALL of the time. While this makes it quite a bit harder it also means that firefights will be decided in a fraction of the time it takes in other difficulties. I managed to do it in under 6 and a half hours.

I hope so, as i did crushing without using the weapon select and it would have been much easier with it. Maybe they disabled it when the trophy patch came out in order to increase the difficulty?

Crushing disables the weapon select AFAIK, I know I did the game on hard before the patch but I think I stopped playing after I got killed a million times in the Cistern and lost interest.

Weapon select is disabled in Crushing. Managed to pick up the Platinum trophy a while back. Chapter 4 iirc where you jump down from the plane wreck on that wire was easily one of the hardest parts of the game took me a while as you usually get killed if youre shot more than twice.
