    ND obviously found a perfect foundation with UC2, so UC3 is that polished to a shine. The animations, the camera angles, the script (so far), the graphics, they're seriously above 99% of the games out there. It's insane what they pull off.

    Just played the Chateu part, and even though I seen countless of videos of it , playing through it is damn exhilarating. Loving the game so far.

    Tell us the truth:

    Does Elena look half-Asian?

    I can only hope so

    Blonde Asians yes

    Also every day that I come home and Uncharted 3 is not waiting for me I die just a little bit inside

    Any difference from the new Chateau video and the one that's in game? Or is it virtually the same.

    There's a difference/something that hasn't been shown. That's all I'll say in order not to spoil.

    Haven't gotten to Elena yet. When I do, I'll report back if she's Asian.

    Yep...Elena suddenly became Asian. Kinda weirds me out.

    The China-Elena is not the issue here, Dude! The issue is that Naughty Dog came into your game and started redesigning character models in the third game in the series. I mean, what kind of Bioware outfit is this?!

    Also, Dude, the preferred nomenclature is "Asian-American Elena".

    It's just a bit of facial tinkering, it's not like they're changing her background to an Asian one or anything

    Guess what? When Uncharted 4 comes out on PS4, Drake's going to look different

    Hell, Drake looks pretty different now than he originally did

    Now, see, that looks to me like the same character. The jaw got a touch stronger, the chin a bit less pointed, but the brow, nose, touch of a smirk on corner of his mouth; it's an update, not a revision.

    The Elena I've seen so far looks different enough to be a different person. Need to find some side-by-sides for her.

    In fact:
    Elena.jpg

    And better:
    elena.jpg
    Nose got smaller, chin got more pointed, outer corners of the eyes slant slighty up instead of down, eybrows got a harder, more angled curve to them.

    I'd actually buy that the new Elena is the younger, "prequel" version, but not older.

    The MAIN difference I'm seeing here is that her eyes are darker

    So are Chloe's, by the way, and I like it. Her eyes were distractingly bright and shiny in UC2, it looked really bad

    EDIT: And here's one of Sully

    Sully.jpg

    I am convinced any "racial refiguring" is just a result of more impressive graphics allowing them to give a few more touches and a bit more character to each

    Maybe one pic isn't enough to change your mind, but... she does to the guy (Kyougu) who's actually playing through the game right now. Is that good enough?

    Not really.

    As one commenter said. "So this game is as good as Gears of War 3, Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid 4? This game must be amazing!"
    I'm still excited.

    And lol, BF3 got an 8 out of 10, as well.

    I'm not seeing it either. I'll have to wait to play it before I can comment more.

    She looks the same to me. Then again I 'suffer' from Prosopagnosia so I can't identify people I've worked with for years! As games become more realistic I struggle more and more.

    Nintendo have it right, colour one character red and one green and I'm sorted!

    So if they make Elena a princess and Nate an Italian plumber in the next game, ill be happy.

    I think the more important question is if she does look slightly different, who cares?

    I don't see it either. It just looks like a more detailed version of the same character.

    Ah shit, I keep forgetting this game is so close. I'll try fix up the OP in the next few days.

    Between this, Batman (which I haven't even started), AssRev, MGS Collection and the enormous amount of other games I've yet to play, I'm really not going to get anything done this summer.

    Just got my copy of the game but won't be able to play it till later tonight.

    For anyone in LA Next Gen Games broke street date, but there were only a few copies left when I went.

    I can see why her face might be a bit more Asian looking, specifically in the eyes and cheeks, but honestly it's a minor transition and I don't care because this game is awesome where it counts. I do prefer Among Thieves Elena though.

    My Gamestop isn't midnighting it. This is both sad and alright for me, since I work Tuesday morning and would thus have to spend my whole shift knowing that it was at home waiting for me.

    Mine isn't either. Sadly, I took both the 1st and 2nd off work in preparation of playing it at midnight. I guess this means I'll just get some extra sleep.

    Took off the 1st, I plan on beating it that day. Then maybe playing some co-op during the night.

    Quick question I wasn't able to really find out with as vague as they were with the announcement. Are the "three multiplayer skin packs" you get with being in the Fortune Hunter's Club usable in Co-op or is it solely competitive skins?

  • DarricDarric Santa MonicaRegistered User regular
    The co-op missions are designed around the single player characters (Drake, Sully, etc.), with voice acting and cut scenes. It's possible that if they're skins for those characters, you can use them, but honestly I'm not sure. I can find out for you tomorrow.

  • DecoyDecoy Registered User regular
    Awesome. Thanks.

    Looks like Elena had some work did. I glad they took care of the glistening eyes from the second game.

  • GMaster7GMaster7 Goggles Paesano Registered User regular
    I really wanna play this and see what all the fuss is about, but I feel like I should play 1 and especially 2 first. Is this something you support, PA? Maybe I'll pick up the 1+2 pack this week.

    Yes

    They are two different kinds of awesome

  • 0blique0blique Registered User regular
    My opinion is yes, definitely play the first two, in the order the came out, not only for story reasons, but also because the general consensus is that the second is better than the first.

    Going back to Drakes Fortune after playing Among Theives is pretty hard. There's a lot of little touches added to combat in Among Theives that really jar when you go back.

    That first game is pretty rough, but yeah, play it before 2 if you are gonna play it.

    I'll never understand this conceit that the first Uncharted is, by any means, rough

    It is still streets ahead of most other third-person shooters

  • Unco-ordinatedUnco-ordinated NZRegistered User regular
    Neither. I think the problem is, Uncharted 1 and 2 are completely different games with completely different pacing. 1 is slower paced, 2 is balls to the wall. The latter is far more mass market than the former, so that's the one people identify as the most amazing game ever. Neither are even remotely bad though.

    Anyway, fixed up the OP enough for my liking. Want in on multiplayer? Add your forum ID and PSN ID into the Google Docs table.
