Excellent stuff, from pretty much every credible source has been jizzing over the Single-Player and considering the Multiplayer is some of the best Online I\'ve played in a long time this is looking like a strong GOTY contender this year, for me anyway.

The game looks amazing, the below shots don\'t really do it justice, Killzone has a rival for best looking console game, thats for sure.

The Multiplayer plays like a faster paced and vertical Gears of Warr, characters take less damage than the bullet sponges that dominate much of today\'s popular games (Gears, Halo ect..) and is better for it, but they still take more than say, Call of Duty.

No chance of that.

Just edited in a title for you. Smilie

I'm trying not to look at the game myself, as I'm only part of the way through the first! I've heard great things though...

I'm also halfway through the first game and enjoying it. It has it's nitty gritty issues like enemies that take too many bullets to die, but on the whole it's very well done.

Played the Uncharted 2 beta also. It's not great.

Your probably playing deathmatch which is as dry as Gears' online, it's all about the co-op treasure hunt, so much fun.

Gears online is far from dry, even in Execution. I'll give those co-op modes a go, but there's no chance deathmatch will stick.

what I see it play out like a game of peck a boo from walls/cover

anyway so cant wait for this been on a black out so not see anything pass E3 Smilie look at all them 10's

I usually tend to dislike 3rd-person shooters, but this one looks like a ton of fun. I think once I get over the controls, which for me is tough using a PS3 controller with the analog sticks right next to each other and what not, this could actually be quite interesting.

I'm agreeing on the whole vanilla deathmatch, try Plunder most fun I've had in a long time.

Oh so the lag makes Gears online awesome? Yeah I know what I played and how to play. It was a piece of shit. duck, shoot, duck, shoot, rinse, repeat, fuck, that.

What's Uncharted supposed to be like then?

right.. hanging of wall and jumping and sneaking movies are not in the game oh wait Smilie

Im not a MP fan myself but UC2 is fun, and looks just like the one player it works well as MP too

anyway I cant wait for the story I want to see where ND taking the story what I hear its up they with the best games of all times cant wait to see it for myself

this game is freakin awesome.. the MP is pretty fun too the Deathmatch is nice.. the Team Objectives playlist is pretty nice too..

havent gotten down on the Co-Op just yet.. will give it a go.. i'm sure it'll be just as fun though..

Yeah team objectives are a blast, Me Martin and Pointfex (who is a beast at Uncharted) were playing Gold Rush co-op yesterday it was a fucking blast, plus Martin wit is outstanding, he's a right laugh and a good guy to talk to.

Hopefully we can get a C3 deathmatch party going.

That would be great. I'll be on tonight, if anyone wants a game?

I'll be on tonight hopefully.

No, it\'s a serious question. You were able to summarise Gears in 4 words. How would you summarise Uncharted?

right.. hanging of wall and jumping and sneaking movies are not in the game oh wait Smilie

Sorry but jumping is barely worth mentioning. In fact, the only new game mechanic Uncharted 2 multiplayer brings is peeking over the top of a ladder etc.

Are you sure? It was in the first game you even got trophies for killing people that way. Jumping allows you to be more agile, the gameplay is fluid and it\'s all about verticality, where you go up, over and around. You can shoot from anywhere, grenades aren\'t assigned to the d-pad and...it works. There\'s no mini-game for reloading, the weapons variety is more better and the characters don\'t control like tanks. Uncharted has cover and fire mechanics but your only behind cover for at most 10secs compared to Gears basing 3/4\'s off there solo campaign around making cover appear from the fucking floor. I liked Gears 1 but Gears 2 was just abysmal. So that\'s what Uncharted is supposed to be like.

For those reasons alone UC deathmatch >Gears DM
Gold Rush co-op >Horde co-op
Drake hangs with 2 chicks, Marcus has Dom and Cole train = UC still better than Gears. I don\'t hate the Gears franchise, I was just disappointed by Gears 2.

( Edited 05.10.2009 19:03 by Simez )

Total bias then. I\'m going to ignore any pointless waffle in that paragraph of garbage and pick out the relevant bits.

So,
Gameplay is fluid - so is Gears.

All about verticality - Gears also has an emphasis on verticality, the difference is that it doesn\'t need jumping to do it.

Weapons variety is more better - Smilie Having a laugh. We\'re comparing various assault rifles to chainsaws, torque bows, mortars, the hammer of dawn etc. You also seem to think that using grenades with out the d-pad is a good point to bring up. Clutching for straws aren\'t we?

No mini-game for reloading - Active reloads play a big part in how your weapons work and in some cases, whether you live or die actually. It\'s a good thing.

Controlling like tanks - the dual stick setup works a damn sight better than UC2\'s constant fiddling with the camera to centre it.

Your reasons are bias BS. The only things crucially wrong with Gears 2 are the host selection process and 2 piecing.

Me Martin and Pointfex (who is a beast at Uncharted)

Oh Simez, you make me blush. Smilie

But then again I did get a huge 82,700 and something, which is pretty awesome for my first Co-op plunder match, but you and Martin din\'t get downed once I did twice (I think) but you guys we\'re quick getting me back, the only reason we lost that match is that fact that Martin got split up (no fault of his own, the fact that he got swamped by 2 riot sheild guys and a handful of troopers he had to fall back) and we all got bum rushed by those Gas-mask Commando dudes.

On a more serious note Craig Uncharted is much better and I think I can make a fair judgement as I have played alot of both:

+ It\'s much faster paced, people just don\'t stick to cover all the time
+ The whole climing system is implimented fantasiclly, I can always remember pulling my first enemy off a ledge and seeing his head crack on the cobbles below
+ The Co-Op modes are MUCH better, modes like Co-Op Plunder, Holdout and Objective modes just take a massive shit on Gears\'s Horde mode
+ The damage system is much better, Characters take around 9-10 bullets to die, better than Gears\'s 18-30+
+ The context melee presses such as neck snaps and pulling people of ledges is much cooler than OMG CHAINSAW BAYONET or OMG GORY KILLZ!!1!11! and overall feels much more mature, like it\'s not catering to 15 year old Americans with anger problems
+ It has a perk system like COD\'s (under the thinly disgused boosters) which dosen\'t alter the game too much (unlike COD\'s Juggernaught and Matryrdom) much but adds more so it still feels fresh
+ The money system that you get ie. earn cash in game to buy new skins, Boosters, Taunts among other things is a really awesome idea and gives you alot to aim for
+ Minimal lag (Gears and lag go together like butter and bread)

The only really minus point is the fact that Matchmaking can be painfully slow at times but it is a Beta and hopefully Naughty Dog will have sorted that out, most likley be a patch at some point.

Oh and Simez, Star for the compliment. Smilie

No chance of that.

What bias, I\'m saying what I played. Uncharted>Gears>>>Gears 2 why argue. I think the fact that you\'re taking the time to actually defend Gears\' tank gameplay is more bias then mine. What verticality is there in Gears? You can only climb when there\'s a prompt to climb.
They\'re tanks, the default running is slow, it\'s like they\'re running on razors
Also you get other silliness online like host advantage. I\'m sorry mentioning Gears hit a nerve, I think you\'ll be better off just sticking to that game then, jog on.

Thanks Fex, yea those gas mask guys and mini-gun dudes were a task, I forgot how many their were in the end, but yeah we all fought hard. 82,000+ now I know how you got your name Smilie

\"BAYONET or OMG GORY KILLZ!!1!11! and overall feels much more mature, like it\'s not catering to 15 year old Americans with anger problems\"

This. Also I hate the match-making too in UC2 it really is slow. Maybe not with the full game.

( Edited 05.10.2009 20:17 by Simez )

It\'s an agree to disagree thing with you then. I will jog on to my superior multiplayer shooter. You can convince yourself that the shiny new UC2 multiplayer is great without properly exploring alternatives. It reeks of GTA IV multiplayer and that was pap aswell.

The context melee presses such as neck snaps and pulling people of ledges is much cooler than OMG CHAINSAW BAYONET or OMG GORY KILLZ!!1!11! and overall feels much more mature, like it\'s not catering to 15 year old Americans with anger problems

\"Awesome neck snap!\"

"Awesome neck snap!"

AWESOME! He used the Sniper Rifle like a golf club and ripped his head off his shoulders.

Just commenting on one of my various points? Clutching at straws are we?

*Sigh*. First off, it\'s the shotgun that is used as a golf club.

- Faster paced =/= better and if you think all people do is stick to cover then you haven\'t played in the past 10 months.
- You enjoy seeing people die in quite gruesome ways, not much unlike 15 year old Americans?
- Gears 2 was out almost a year ago, it was the first game to take arena based co-op onto consoles in a mainstream way. Halo ODST also improved upon it with Firefight. This is a result of the time gap.
- You can also kill people in 1 shot with sniper, torque, mortar, boomshot, shotgun, hammer of dawn, chainsaw and frags if used correctly. Hammerburst can take about 9 bullets or less with an active reload, gorgon can down with 2 bursts.
- Already done this. Chainsaw is for teenagers who think it\'s cool and neck snaps are mature.
- Perks + cash (EXP) concept is ripped from CoD. Not to say it\'s a bad thing, but it\'s nothing special either.
- I acknowledge bad lag in some online matches and I hate 2 piecing, which is too frequent.
