Anyone play the demo for this PS3 exclusive yet? IMO it has the best graphics for any game yet on either console. It's amazing! I never thought much of this game as a multi-player but boy was I wrong it's a blast to play.

 

A friend of mine at work got it with inFamous and loved it. He's already preordered it and is getting it day one. I've only seen screen shots, but they do look amazing...can't wait to see it on my TV (Uncharted looked great on it). However, due to other game commitments right now, I'll be picking this one up in the spring.

 

Looks awesome...I'll probably wait a few months, but i'm definitely getting this!

 

i'm thinking of getting this instead of dirt2... i guess 3 more days...

 

definitely getting it as well. Probably won't be on day one, but I will before this year is up.

 

I think it comes out today. It has gotten great reviews IGN gave it a 9.5 this is a must have for PS3 owners.

 

i played demo for 3 days.. and i just felt like i really really suck at FPS on console... i can't aim shiet.... why can't PS3 let us use mouse and keyboard???????

i'm kinda hesitant about getting this one now

will definitely be getting. just need to finish the first one.

despite all the praise the first one got, it seems like it's still very much slept on.

is multi-player online or offline? both?

 

Agree. I know tons of people who loved the UC2 demo, but had never played or heard of UC. I remember seeing commercials (maybe no one watches TV) when it came out...it looked great. Honestly, those commercials were why I got it.

I know MP for UC2 is online, don't know about offline. It has a lot of modes; five, if I remember correctly. Seemed like it would be good once you got the hang of the controls.

 

i'm heading over to gamestop after work to pick up my copy...

 

i just watched the video review of this i think i might have to pick it up.

 

got my copy yesterday.. haven't had much time to play, but i'm satisfied with it so far...

 

Is there offline multi-player?

 

^that's what i'd like to know as well.

man, i really need to finish some other games before i get this one.

i have like 2.5 weeks of vacation left this year. since i'm not planning on going anywhere, i might just end up staying home and playing video games.

 

This game is right up there with Batman AA. It's amazing.

 

man.. i don't have any more vacations left, and I need to take another 2 weeks off in january to go to korea...

no pay time off FTL



what is offline multiplayer?

 

I'm taking my usual two weeks off around Christmas/New Years...plan on spending the vast majority of it playing games

 

well.. when i go into multiplayer, it asked me to sign in to network.. so i assume no offline multiplayer?

 

i'm not the only one.

 

wow - that sucks...my family will not like that at all. I hope all PS3 games are not like that - I enjoy giving my family members a good beat-down in a game now and then

 

not all games are like that.

for example, you can play multiplayer for marvel ultimate alliance.

 

so... i assume offline multiplayer means like using more than 1 controller in one console?? ie screen splits to multiple player and etc???

 

i could be using the term incorrectly.

when i said offline multiplayer, i was thinking 2+ controllers on one console. i guess it doesn't have to necessarily be split screens.

 

right - like Madden I can play "offline" with my son etc and not have to go online to play

 

yea.. this game is pretty much like MGS...

i'm at chapter 5 now... not too much action yet... hopefully there'll be more

 

So, guessing from the posts in here, I'm gathering that this is a worthy game to purchase...?

 

My roommate bought it and has been playing non-stop. I played multiplayer for a few hours and it's fun, but not really my thing, especially with Call of Duty coming out next month.. (Prefer an FPS to the third person w/ hulk health gameplay)

I played the campaign for a couple hours so far and it's a blast. They're creative enough with the story/levels to keep the gameplay fresh.

Sweet game.. I'd personally rent it because I'm not a huge fan of the multiplayer, but it depends on your tastes.

 

i like it so far... graphics fantastic, story line is also quite interesting.. puzzles in the game is another fun factor

haven't played multiplayer yet though.. wanna finish the single player first

 

How's the gameplay...? What I mean is, is the movement similar to MGS/Devil May Cry/Ninja Gaiden...?

For instance, I recently finished Prince of Persia and although it's not a bad game, I didn't really like the gameplay that much. The movement was a bit too, limited and "slow" (not sure how else to describe it). I mean, obviously, the game is not a true action game where you're out to destroy everything in your path...

 

no ducking or lay flat on the ground.. only time you can duck is when you are hiding behind something that's kinda short... and even then, it's not a duck... you are hiding... once you get away from the object, you aren't ducking anymore

also sometimes, you can't fully rotate the view around you... it seems like the game is hinting you which path you should go, but it bothered me time to time

i'm playing on hard mode (i think that's the second hardest mode) and it still seems not so hard... i'm already on like chapter 15 or so (out of 26 supposedly).. so if any of you get this game, just start with hardest mode

 

^ Thanks, y...Can you elaborate more on the gameplay?

 

This game has one of the best story modes ever. It's like watching and playing a movie at the same time and it kept me on the edge of my seat fro the whole game. The level when you wake up in the mountains is absolutely beautiful. I stopped playing and just looked at the graphics in awe the best graphics on either console hands down. If you own a PS3 and don't have this game you're doing yourself a dis-service. Game of the year IMO.

 

i found myself doing that a lot in #1.

 

 

It controls a lot like Gears of War -gore + acrobatics

 

one thing is that if the game thinks you are lost (ie spending too much time figuring out where to go), they give you hints and stuff.. i thought it was pretty good because it doesn't give you hint too early so that it doesn't spoil anything and gives you time to figure out on your own, yet not too late to a point you get annoyed and come to the point of giving up

oh and there is no health gauge.. when you are about to die (say you get shot at hard) the screen becomes unsaturated and eventually to a greyscale... but if you avoid any attack for like 10 seconds, you are normal at full health seems like..

i say 50% of the time, you are figuring out where to go and do some puzzles, and the other 50% is shooting and fighting

ask me if you have any specific questions, i can't really think of what to talk about from work

 

Thanks, guys. Time to mark it as a to-buy as soon as I finish up s'more games here.

Working on Mirror's Edge now. And then Infamous. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is after that...

 

you have a lot of games -_-;;
have you gotten all 100% on the LBP??? i started over the other day and got all 100% except like 3 or 4 maps...

 

I finished LittleBigPlanet but only have 100% on some. Alot of the multi-player maps, I'm lacking...
