So I've read ND will now be aiming for 30fps SP + 60 for the multi and that's perfectly alright with me.

Shiny SP and less so but smoother, more responsive online MP ftw.

According to Games Radar Sony didn't show the best bit of the trailer at E3.

The writer states 'there's honestly a world before that demo and a world after'

It's a game changer.

and then there'll be a world after.

^ This guy can be a bit too effusive in his ND-praise for some, but his vid does a good job of highlighting some of the more subtle things that are happening in terms of physics, animation, lighting etc. Well worth a watch imo.

It also shows some stills from next (only shown behind closed doors) part of the demo-sequence.

Wow.

Holy shit that looks good.

I'm sure they'll find time for that in the other 6hrs 45mins. This 15mins is a little story of its own, it introduces the characters, shows you their goal, then introduces their antagonist, a big truck with a gun on it. Then it's some shooting, ducking, running, punching, shooting, climbing, jumping, shooting, driving, swinging, dodging, climbing, jumping, punching, jumping, dragging, shooting, climbing, driving, then shooting until the equilibrium is restored.

Classic victorian farce.

Impressive visuals. Gameplay looks completely unappealing. Way too much shooting and chasing and shooting. Where's the ancient site and wandering around?

That's a bit like saying Mario has too much jumping.

I get that, though.

I think it all depends on what you expect/want from a game.

If you go in expecting Man Raider then the platforming is light and the combat too much. Of course, that's what the game is, but I'm also one of those people who would like less bang bang and more environment traversal.

It's the same reason I don't like the Arkham games - too much thug bashing. The first half of Asylum is good fun but eventually the gadgets just become ways to get into new rooms to bash ever increasing waves of thugs and defeat bosses with set animations and routines. If you're into that thing, coolio, but I find it lacks the joy of exploration that I was led to believe given the 3D metroidvania tag. Same reason I didn't get on with Guacameele.

That's a bit like complaining Arnold kills to many people at the end of Commando.. because he couldn't carry all those guns never mind dodge all those bullets.

I've always thought Indy's films where almost documentaries there so realistic. I know I keep an old fridge in the garden in case of nuclear fallout.

I had a similar problem with 24:Another Day.

I don't mind with games though. Mainly because it's fun. It would be less fun if there was less shooting.

Shooting things though is the main way we interact with action games. It's the same for GTA and anything else you care to mention.

Granted if he got a bit more Tony Robinson on his archeology I think we'd all be happier but would it make for a better game? Maybe there could be a few sections where he gets out a brush and dusts things off looking for clues?

Yeah best bit of the two Uncharted games I played (1&2) was walking around that mountain village in 2. Then they had to put in some more fucking shooting. Dicks.
