the notion of using a percentage of a machines powersounds a bit stupid to me really, what part of the machines power will they be describing here? what can we expect to be improved? at most i expect some more geometry but i'm guessing the game will look basically the same as the 1st visually (obviously apart from the setting) which is no bad thing, it is still one of the best looking console games out there.
not sure i like the sound of a new female lead though, hopefully it is to just throw you off and the trio will be back together as the main cast again. |

Fargate. Good lord please change it. Change it, it's gnawing away at my nerd-sense.
"Kannavrel, this is Fargate 1. I'm drunk and can't remember what my ship is called, or my name. Hope I don't get thrown across the galaxy and end up with a tall dude with an awesome gunblade thing, a tiny helium farting guy, some gun toting chick who'll rebel, and a plant. That'd screw my day right up." |

^The "more power" comes from reduced bottlenecks and spreading the threads better across the processors. In the original game some units would be mostly idle when others were flat out.
This game was a highlight for me too. Played through it twice and loved it. I reckon they can wring a bit more out of the PS3. |

I was referring more to people who use comically misspelled versions of bluray and cell on Eurogamer for mockery purposes e.g. 'what about TEH CELLZ?' in any games comparison rundown |

Note to Naughty Dog... while Uncharted was an outstanding game, could you use some of the extra 60-70% performance to get rid of the god-awful screen tearing that plagued the first game, please... it was really the only thing that stopped the game from being a real graphical tour-de-force IMO. Oh and make the combat to adventuring ratio about 30:60 too while you're at all! :D

"I've used 10% of my fingers to type this message"
You typed a percentage sign using only one finger? Kudos. |

60%-70% untapped potential?
Why didn't they use it in the first game? Were they saving it for later? |

Surely that's a spoiler for the first game that Sully is still alive by the end...

Be interesting to see how it turns out in terms of graphical performance. I think this, Killzone 2 and God of War 3 are going to give the PS3 a real workout.

Fix the horrific tearing, greatly reduce the awful combat and put some proper puzzles and exploration it might just be a decent game.
It still won't rival Gears for combat/visuals or Tombraider for adventuring though. |

@Farticus - "Fix the horrific tearing, greatly reduce the awful combat and put some proper puzzles and exploration it might just be a decent game. "
Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed this, I thought the whole world except me thought this game was amazing. Don't forget the shitty camera that zooms out so you can't see where you're jumping, and the bugs, like dropping off a ledge only to land on your sidekicks head and not reach the ground, followed by death because it thinks you've fallen too far. But the puzzles, oh my god the puzzles. Did they even qualify as puzzles? |

I should have qualified that comment really. The combat is awful compared to Gears, the game it was trying so very hard to ape but missed the mark on so badly. Not a problem for PS3 owners, but if you've played Gears then the combat in Uncharted just seems like such a let-down. |

Uncharted is excellent, hears hoping for more of the same.
no surprises the xbots and trolling have already started and the game hasn't even been properly revealed. |

"GoW didn't invent the cover-and-shoot style of combat that both games employ." That is true, but every detail of combat was shamelessly cloned from Gears, right down to the grenade arc. They got it so wrong though. I genuinely laughed out loud when I played Uncharted as I simply coudnt believe how poor enemy AI was and how unwieldy the aiming reticule was. "they are very different games." You'd have to be blind to not see the 'homage' to Gears and TR. |

Bet Sony will hate them for saying it will use 100% of the PS3's power, as that means we should never expect to play a game as technologically demanding as Uncharted 2 in the PS3's lifetime. Oh well.
Luckily, there's a difference between using 100% of the power, and using 100% of the power well. |

"any other PS3 game" There are plenty of PS3 games I like, some I'd even like on the 360. Pain and Motorstorm especially. Not Uncharted though. I thought it was truly awful! xD |

Farty is a big fan of the Surf's Up game, aren't you farty. Tell us all how much you enjoyed it. More than Uncharted no doubt since it was on your Live profile for quite a while!
