Uncharted 2 is definitely NOT the best looking console game.

Great mother of odin this game is going to be great.

After playing through the demo it's now clear. GOWIII is the greatest thing to come from modern technology since penicilin.

MikeRox · 11-01-2009, 05:41 PM

WTF!? The demo is available over there now?

I'm just making my eyes bleed with Uncharted 2m can't wait to see this beastie.

Just completely visceral crazy fun.

The demo is the E3 build, so it's an early build.

Frame rate mostly at 30 with jumps to almost 60 once in a while.

The game has great anti aliasing. Console games usually pelt my eyes with jaggies, but not the case here.

The QTEs are beyond brutal.

You fight 3-4 minibosses and do a freaking cool new piece of gameplay that isn't combat or platforming related (not going to spoil it).

Lighting is sweet, but imperfect in this build. Some scenes are among the best I've seen

Spoiler:

and in others there are somewhat glaring lighting errors. I'll chalk those up to the early nature of the build though. There isn't much polish on the demo, but I don't get a sense it's things that will be in the retail code. Just some small stuff.

Textures are pretty damn close to Uncharted 2, and the animation on some of the minibosses is cutting edge.

You'll all play it when the GOW collection comes out in a couple weeks anyway.

I did swear a lot during my first play through due to some of the bad assery. Don't play it with elderly people or small children near by.

In short, another AAAA first party Sony game.

No, apparently some people somewhere got a code to download the demo because they pre-ordered it or something like that.

Pretty much what Kam said, I'll add the controls are great and I was pretty much in an 'oooh shi...' mode then entire time I was playing it.

Too bad, bro, I was ready to ship you a nug of OG Kush in exchange for the code last night I was so desperate to play it. Now I can just sweat it out for a week waiting for the GoW Collection.

Mhmm... Kush...<drools>
Sorry buddy, I just checked the account and our benefactor has already changed the password back. I came here first thing to see who was on to grab the demo before the guy locked his account back up, I only had a limited window of time.

Cheesus · 11-02-2009, 08:56 PM

OH MY GOD that looks awesome

DonnyDC · 11-02-2009, 10:14 PM

Wasnt GoW 1 and 2 60fps? or was it only 60fps sometimes?

Oh well I hope the framerate at least matches those.

I honestly don't recall what frame rate the first two ran at. The demo build we're looking at here has been analyzed though and it runs from 30 to 60 FPS, averages out around 36 fps. The frame rate hovers along a little above 30'ish in the wide open area scenes with lots of enemies (which is pretty good all things considered) and in closed in areas with lots of enemies it seems to hover around 45'ish.

I'm sure the final version will be a little more optimized and we'll see a slightly higher and steadier frame rate, but truth be told it's pretty solid right now.

**kamspy** · 11-03-2009, 05:40 PM

GOW 1 & 2 were had a slightly higher frame rate average then this demo.

Whenever you go indoors in the demo it's locked at 60 pretty much. I think by release it will have an equal if not higher average framerate compared to GOW 1 & 2.
