    I'm interested to know if this clip comes from the Uncharted devs - anyone at EG able to enlighten me? I ask because just watching it frustrated the hell out of me, and reminded me of so many other similar games with poorly signposted levels....

    Nope, it was captured here at EG.

    I liked the fact it wasn't blatantly signposted personally - I hate games where you are led by the nose through elements like this. It might actually be making something of the exploration/puzzle elements. Something the first one was weak on. Very nice lighting (torches and torch).

    Fantastic sound design as usual from NDI, shame it gets overlooked in reviews because of the graphics but it really helps elevate the overall experience so much.

    Can't wait for this game.

    If pulled off well the puzzle/exploration could be very good, but from the looks of it I had flashbacks to those game moments where you end up running around in circles missing something that should be/is horribly obvious. Maybe i'm just a spaz at navigation, but to me the point of good level design is to allow the player to feel smart/test them, without ever forcing them to run back and forth brainlessly. In my mind that is especially true for a game like this one that is clearly about creating a cinematic experience in a very linear level (i've not played uncharted, though heard good things - and don't get me wrong, no judgements can be made from 4mins of footage).
    ...and indeed, some very nice lighting effects.

    I'm sorry, but whoever was playing this is a moron. I figured out where to go at about the 2:00 mark just by watching the video, and then spent a minute and a half watching this guy get lost in a six by six foot room. If the entire game is like this it's completely manageable. You can't just signpost it for every idiot.

    so, is there a youtube channel for "silly gaming brits looking stupid in games, published by themseleves as "gameplay"" yet? :)

    @SirPhobos
    Absolutely - but you also have to take into account the person playing it. It would be a different experience yourself as you have control over the camera/what you look at etc and can not run around in circles in a small room.

    I want there to be some challenge to this sort of game and if you do end up running around like a headless chicken then it's your own fault - as appears to be the case here.
