3 Ways to make Uncharted 2 game of the year!

July 09, 2009 in Blog comments 3

First it was Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time, then it was God of War III, but now Resume Play are chalking up ways that Naughty Dog can make their newest title game of the year. The article covers how plot twists, online play and voice acting are all valuable assets in the Uncharted series.

1. Online Overhaul

I wasn’t lucky enough to grab a beta code for the Uncharted 2 beta, mainly because I was too lazy to pre-order inFamous. Anyhow, from what one of our writers has posted, and from the many gameplay videos available, anyone can tell that Uncharted 2 offers a third person online component, with conventional game modes, and a flexible cover system. However, there are a few points that still haven’t been covered. One thing that would make Uncharted 2 awesome is an actual incentive to play the game’s online mode. Of course there is the incentive already ready there, that incentive being that it’s Uncharted! But what I personally look for in online game is a long-lasting experience that you build towards. In essence, I am saying that having a levelling up system along with character customisation is key to extending the lifespan of ANY online shooter (Warhawk, and Resistance 2 being prime examples). Of course, we have seen character models such as Drake and Chloe, but I would personally like to design my own mercenary/ thug, even if the choices are minimal.

    The first point makes sense; a level system adds longevity. But the second two are just stupid. "Keep the original voice actors!" Why wouldn't they? That's like asking them to keep Nathan in the game; it's already a given. But the last point is stupid; what held the last game back was the fact that they sprung the twist far too late and made too radical a change in theme...that and frustrating firefights...

    1). Somehow delay Modern Warfare 2 till next year
    2). Somehow delay God of War 3 till next year
    3). Hope for a lightning strike killing the developers of Modern Warfare 2 and God of War 3 and burning their respective factories down thus delay both games till next year

    Sorry

    1)There is already a skill system, and more modes and maps confirmed.
    2)As Red 9 said. Why the hell would they take away the highly successful voice actors?
    3)I actually felt (and many gamers agree) that the twist from the first game was completely unnecessary and out of place.
