Uncharted 3

super cool. but like rick said the lighting looks a bit odd it's like the characters are holding a torch under their heads pointing upwards like a horror movie.

Heh I never spotted the Helen Mirren reference, but I instantly spotted Statham

Looks alright, will be super awesome in any way possible

Down it seems

Looks really good, but no match for their 2009 E3 demo

I just finished Uncharted 2, anticipating this!

Working mirror of trailer (from IGN so should stay up):

Not watching this or ME3. These are day one buys no matter what and I think I saw most of the UC2 cool stuff in trailers. :derp:

The trailer doesn't actually give much away, but I agree UC2 was a bit trailer-heavy and I'd rather have experienced a fair bit of it for the first time in-game. I am now officially on media blackout for UC3.

With that said UC3 looks superb.

He's not actually a rug merchant.

I still think that U2 will be the peak of the franchise. The game looks pretty good.

You meant 3 or... you're saying this has nothing on 2?

Anyway... can't fucking wait

What I'm saying that U3 won't have the big impact U2 had on me not that U2 will be better.

I concur on the awesomeness of that line.

At the Sony booth today Uncharted 3 was the main event in the center of the floor. I didn't get my hands on it but will Thursday when I get a booth tour.

i am so stocked for this ... i actually think its better than the u2 demo becasue they clearly didn't try to "top" it which would easily gone in the "over the edge-insanity" realm. keep it subtle and classy naughty dog !

I'd read in GI, I believe, that they really worked hard on the desert terrain and the sand effects, I was pretty disappointed to see that none of this was included in the videos.

Either way, game looks awesome. Day 1 purchase for sure.

":3fak3las]mmm, maybe it's the the video compression but some things look pretty bland on there, I hope it's just me.Still, some of the action scenes and the themes they glimpsed at in the trailer points to an extraordinary game! So looking forward!

I don't know why but a lot of videos from UC2 looked kind of gash, whereas in-game it just looked amazing. Maybe it's the video compression, maybe it's weird display settings they use, I dunno. I can't imagine this game not looking at least as good as UC2 though, considering how anal about visuals Naughty Dog are.

And agreed, it's good they've not felt compelled out 'out-do' UC2 with OTT action, and instead are keeping to the series' central themes of strong storytelling, character development, etc. Kind of like how everyone expected Indiana Jones 2 to be fuckin' mental after the first, only for it to actually be quite a muted affair.

Got to play it in coop mode at Sony's booth. Worked pretty well and would be up to 2 people in split screen or up to 3 people coop online or LAN. It's basically you and your friend(s) trying to complete a "mini-story" type mission against enemy AI. As expected, the characters have the right tone from the SP game (which Uncharted 2's MP had as well).

Here is a blurry pic I took on my phone:

On the main part of the floor by far the longest line was to play the U3 demo. All these people you see standing in front of me were waiting in a big theme park style queue that for almost the entire show was overflowing outside of Sony's booth:

And another quick camera phone picture of one of the coop demo stations below. In this one you have to get to the top of this big circular stone structure while the guys on top shoot at you. Simple idea but was hella fun mixed in with the climbing...plus all the Uncharted style snarky remarks from the player characters made it a simple joy:
