Re: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
This game will be the cover story for next months GameInformer.
Okay, we know it’s really early this month, but we couldn’t keep this to ourselves. Next month’s issue of Game Informer Magazine will take the wraps off Naughty Dog’s next creation – Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
Naughty Dog has given Game Informer Online the first ever 3D screenshot (you’ll need Quicktime to view it.) This screenshot, while still very early in development, will give you an introduction to the main character, Nathan Drake, and show some of the dynamic lighting techniques that will be used in this upcoming PlayStation 3 title. Did we mention the game will have pirates? We know how you love pirates!
There's also some concept art.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Re: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
Info from the new GI.
Source
- Release is "Winter 2007"
- Single player only it seems
"After hearing about the game's cinematic story, seeing the technology that backs up the exciting plotline, and playing the game for ourselves, we're sure about one thing. This is one title that should give hold-outs against the pricey PS3 a reason to pause and look again."- They want an emotional story, and so far there's fifty minutes of cinematics.
- They have an awesome animation scheme that allows for over 1,200 different unique ways of doings things like taking cover. There's nine screens of Drake taking cover behind a pillar...all of them completely different stances. Freaking awesome. (the final game will have 3,000)
- Sixaxis allows for some tilting moments, like crossing a narrow log and balancing, Kratos-style.
- More on the unique animations: if Drake is running across an open field, he will visibly become more and more out of breath, his entire body shaking if he runs enough. His face will show all these emotions as well.
- Everything in the jungle shifts and sways, with dynamic shadowing, and high-dynamic range lighting.
- Soundtrack is also dynamic
- Graphics are really, really good looking. I can't imagine how this thing is gonna look in real time...crazy.
MORE INFO:
While much of the article explains how great the story will be while not actually getting into details, the opening paragraph gives us a nice clue:
"Sir Francis Drake had a wealth of titles to his name by the time he died at sea in the winter of 1596. To his English Countrymen, he was a hero...an explorer who circumnavigated the globe, a sea captain who sunk dozens of ships in the Spanish Armada, and a knight by Queen Elizabeth's own hand. To his enemies, he was the worst sort of villain...a marauder that heartlessly destroyed their ports and colonies, a pirate that ceaselessly stole their chests of gold, spices and jewels. Whatever people called him, his infamous adventuring career came to an end when his body was tipped over the side of his ship off the coast of Panama some 400 years ago. But what if that lead coffin held no body? What if there was instead a mysterious book that hinted at his last great adventure? What if you found that book?"
The Audio Director speaks: "If I could have a metric for how well the game is doing sound-wise, it would be how far I can get through this game with my eyes closed."
While vehicles aren't a main focus in the game, they'll be there. One concept screen shows a jeep with you in the turret seat, another level has you piloting a jetski navigating submerged buildings and looking for clues. Still another has white-water rapids in another chase scene.
Naughty Dog (paraphrasing here): "With PS1, we had to go very simplistic...cartoonish. With PS2, we could take it up a notch with Jak but not quite human yet. With the PS3, we can finally do full-on human gaming while taking all of our great gameplay from past games we've done into this."
All cinematics are motion-captured with a director on the set...it's like a real movie (a la Heavenly Sword).
You won't be alone, as the girl in the mag cover shows (like Half-Life 2 in a way).
GI sums up the game: "It's Die Hard meets Indiana Jones, with gameplay that goes back to Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider and gun segments like Gears of War. Ultimately however, it's a new genre that's unclassifiable at this point."Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Re: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
I guess Sony is slowly but surely giving me more reason to save up and buy a PS3 in a few years. They are surely bringing about some nice games to the console. Kind of hurt that M$ doesn't have a game of this quality in their stable.Comment

Inside the Developers Studio: Evan Wells & Richard Lemarchand
We were lucky enough to interview not one, but two Naughty Dogs for this latest Inside the Developers Studio post. Evan Wells leads our Q&A here with help from Lead Game Designer Richard Lemarchand. Enjoy!
Tell us more about your game. What’s the story?
RL: Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is a new character-action game for the PlayStation 3 from the insanely talented videogame makers here at Naughty Dog, creators of Jak and Daxter. It has a mature, realistic, slightly stylized look, and is set in a world that reinvents the classic action-adventure genre of games and movies.
The game is a blend of problem-solving traversal, great cover-based gun combat, hand-to-hand brawling and puzzles, and is huge leap forward for us in terms of what we’ve been able to accomplish in a storytelling action game.
The story centers on Nathan Drake, a fortune hunter and occasional con man, and his quest to uncover the mystery of a family legend linking him with the famous English explorer and pirate Sir Francis Drake.
Hooking up with a young cable history show presenter called Elena Fisher, Drake finds himself stranded on a mysterious island in the Pacific Ocean, battling present-day pirates and dark, unseen forces in a hunt for the mythical treasure of El Dorado.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Thanks again Flawless...you provide an invaluable service to the OS community!
Back on topic, I'm totally psyched about this game, even with Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin no longer at Naughty Dog.
