Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Comments by Kristan Reed

It does look comparable to the best on 360 but the "could it be done" nonsense is purely to generate traffic surely? (or the reviewer hasn't much of a clue technically);

Apologie: never mind the quality, feel the width!

Better be a bowls mini-game.

I love Krudsters reviews and trust his opinions more than any other reviewer and I'm sure he believes this game is worth the 9 he gives it.

But 9 isn't 10 is it.....

When is the PS3 going to get a must have title?

Kryon, yeah but if you trust Krudster then it'll interest you to know that he doesn't rate Halo3 at all (see EGTV ep.15), so that's one less 10/10 XBox exclusive for you.

edit: also, surely this is a must-have for PS3 owners. maybe not a system-seller though.

Kryon, have you nothing better to do in that idiot box you live in?

Kryon

these one is definitely a must have title... and Kyron, you know as well as i do how to heal that depression... buy a Ps3.

I'm actually not a Halo fan, but I do recognise it as an important game. I've read Kristan's reviews for years and his tastes seem to be similar to my own (i.e. not the biggest Halo fan) but have a look at GameRankings or Metacritic and the you'll see the masses feel it is a 'must have' title...Unlike Uncharted which is just another Lara clone.

Apologie, I really don't know why you seem to take such glee in this reviews score. You still tout Resistance:FOM as a 'must have, triple A' title when an EG review scored it a 6/10 ( I believe that was Kristans review aswell)

hmm, kryon, that ground you're on looks a little ... shaky.

Unlike Uncharted which is just another Lara clone.

Bullshit as usual.

No, that was Tom. On a second review that failed to mention multiplayer.

Kryon

You really are stupid... Uncharted is evolutionary, Halo3, is not even that.

Why talk about Halo3? the fact is that was a 10 out of 10 game full stop, and better than any game on the PS3 including this game.

"Internet readers are amazingly fickle and simply go where things hit first..."

Ironically, I'm in the US and this is generally the first and often the only gaming site I read. Best game journalism I've come across anywhere. Lots of amusing and/or informative reader comments as well.

Thank you for making my ignore list reach 40.

So many morons take the bait...

Listen, good for you, yeah, 9/10, WooHoo!!!111!! you have one decent game now, honestly, I'm happy for you.

@BNinjaC

"define your meaning of "the masses" for me. "

Erm, an average score of 94/100 based on 74 reviews. Have a look at Metacritic, you may learn something...

@Apologie

"Uncharted is evolutionary"
I actually don't think you know what the word "evolution" means so I'll refrain from commenting...

(re: "why mention halo3"). well, the point was that it's not 10/10 in krudster's opinion. in fact, i rather suspect that he thinks Uncharted is better.

i can't be bothered o read back now, but someone was trying to talk down Uncharted because it was only a 9 and it's a krudster 9 and therefore must be true -- but if you accept that then you also have to accept his opinion of Halo3 as gospel, rather than picking and choosing to fit your chosen flavour of fanboyism.

sort of wish i'd never mentioned it now.

Darc, thank you for your kind comments but I'm but one man with a dream.

@SeesThroughAll

"Thank you for making my ignore list reach 40. "

I actually think that is totally pathetic, Negotiator gave his opinion, he didn't call your mum a slut or spit in your face, did he? "Boohoo, mummy, he said my PS3 doesn't have the best library of games so I'm gonna ignore him"

Get a life mate, infact I think I may ignore you now just because you're a prick...

SeesThroughAll or should I call you by your more appropriate real name TalksThroughArse, just because I stated a fact that Halo 3 is better than any PS3 game this shouldn't cause you to have a heart attack and ignore my posts.

Are there actually still people who can see Kryons posts at this point?

Lara Jones... but looks like I'm gonna buy it.

Are there actually still people who can see Kryons posts at this point?

Well I can and I thank him for his comments.

Holy crap which closet did these guys come out of Kryon how many 10/10 games are there? Seriously your library games must be small if you just go by scores.

btw does Orange Box count as a 10/10 PS3 game?

My problem with the Uncharted demo is that it didn't give me that wow sensation. It did not make me want to play it a second time after finishing it and there was nothing special about anything I did. Using the motion controls to control the grenades got on my nerve. The motion control while you are balancing yourself felt very much unresponsive. The animation is very good but nothing that I felt that separated from many games out on the market today. The eye candy looks nice but nowhere did it make you feel like it cannot be done on the 360 especially since it feels like you are doing everything within a box. Going from one stage to another, you feel like you are confined. IMHO, it really doesn't take that much processing power to render what was shown from the demo since the draw distance and what was displayed on screen at all times was very limited.

With that said, I loved the feel of the game and the atmosphere. The shooting portion was ok but moving from cover to cover was probably on the same level as Gears.

In the end, I am hoping the full game is just as good as the review says. With it being so short, I cannot see myself spending 60 bones for it so a rent is probably all it will get since there probably no reason to play it again once it's finished.

Wowee wowow.

Going to pre-order right now.

I actually don't think you know what the word "evolution" means so I'll refrain from commenting...

YEs, but i know the meaning of Kyron: retarded 15 year old fanboy, who get's in denial every time a good PS3 game show's up.

@Negotiator:
No, but feeding Apologie doesn't help.

And I didn't attack Halo. I never liked it, so I don't waste my time talking about it.

EDIT: Just read how you support a troll of Kryon's level. Says a lot about you.

First thing's first, this game looks rather bloody sexy, I mean I tend to act like I'm some gigantic 360 fanboy when I post on here, but that's only to rile up some of the idiots on the comments sections, this game does look facking lovely, and is one of the veerry few exclusives on the PS3 that I would like to have on the 360 too, but hey you can't have everything, and after Chrimbo I can see me splashing out on the console anyway, mostly for Blu-Ray but also most certainly for titles like this too.
Ohh and some of the PS3 fans need to calm down slightly, there's random posts dotted around on here moaning about all the piss taking 360 owners invading the comments, but I honestly couldn't see one, infact there's only one massively annoying cunt on here, and that's one of your own guys. *Apologie, take a bow*
And for the guys saying ''It's filling 90 odd % of a Blu-Ray disc, this means it could never ever be done on a 360'' Well that's lovely, but then by your reasoning, does that mean that the PS3 has already maxed out? And that from here on in you'll never get a game looking better than this, because surely that would then max out Blu-Ray, and all you can ever expect a game to be is an epic 8 hours long?
Surely all it comes down to is developing better compression techniques.

"every time a good PS3 game show's up."

Sooo, that would be...erm...once then...lol

The PS3 is by far my most favorite system in this generation, but having said that, Apologie, you're cruising to be the very first person here (and second ever) to make it on my ignore list.

BNinjaC

lol

You should go to the system wars board on gamespot, the xbox fanboys aren't very happy at this review it's funny to watch.

Very arrogant comment... but let me tell you that more then once you have been a victim of the same kind of approach..., for someone who thinks to be so enlightened, it hapens to be very idiotic.

I would pay to see a one on one battle between Kryon's arrogance, and your's...

My God you're boring Apologie, please refrain from directing comments my way in the future. Thanks :)

Read all about it, Apologie in mad gushing over one of only a few (if any) PS3 games to score 9/10. Read all about it.

Fucks sakes, Apologie, just go away. Pleeeease! And this is from me, new PS3 owner and everything! The way you feel the need to jump in and defend Sony at every possible turn is just sickening....

@ George

Might I offer you the use of this fine Ignore User button? I use the same brand myself!

"Truly, Uncharted is the first game I've seen to date that makes me wonder if it could be done on the Xbox 360, and as a huge admirer of the software line-up on Microsoft's system, that's saying a lot."

$$KERCHING$$!!

Apologie, keep up the good fight. If anything just to wind up fuckwit crybabies like Kryon!

Take out the guns n shooting and I'd be jealous for this.

Visually it just looks nice. dont know why everyone keeps banging on about the visuals, put it up against bioshock etc, and it looks quite cartoony and dated.

The demo really impressed me. It's the kind of game I've been waiting a long time for.
With this Mario Galaxy and COD4 onlne (360) it's going to be a good xmas for me. :)

"Hmm - the review seems overly gushing to me. I'm a fan of short games myself, but when a review tries to turn what most people would consider a failing - short single player campaign - into a positive, I start to question it. "

I felt mildly nauseous reading that bit in the review.

COD4 is awesome but it's way, way too bloody short - single digit hours SP playtime is a disgrace and people need to start pushing back against it - it's the thin end of a fat wedge ...

"Of course, it's all blind speculation to say this or that couldn't be done on another system, but I did say it "makes me wonder" rather than a statement of fact. I await a 360 game to appear that looks as good as this, basically. They just upped the ante. "

Well in the way the graphics appeal to me, it's more of an artistic design decision than anything to do with technical prowess.

I posted some weeks back that I see many more PS3 screenies that float my boat than typical 360 screenies (which typically have a big gun taking up half the screen *yawn*) and while I couldn't think of the name of any of them at the time, this game was defo one of them.

"Hopefully this will get some bundle love for xmas.
Ratchet and Drake's would make an amazing pack-in. "

£300 all-in (for the tard-PS3 of course) and I'd be tempted if I was looking for a new console ...

"Interestingly, Naughty Dog claim they only used around 30% of the consoles graphical power: "

I assume it's locked at 60fps then?

"P.S. Krudster, can you please tell me which make and model of HDTV you review games on that you don't see tearing on because I want one! ;) "

It's a Sony, model number: B4CKH4ND3R

Correction, I don't defend sony, i prefer Sony... big difference.
I think they'r products are more reliable, artistic (with much better exclusives in my opinion) and diverse.

LOL, the 360 is fucking dead in 2008 now games like this are coming out.

Har har har
