Uncharted 2 set in Tibet

A few more details surfaced about Uncharted 2, and the latest is that the sequel will take place in Tibet! Following clues left by Marco Polo, you'll be in search of the famous city Shangri-La.

Also, "stealth mechanics" will be a new feature in Uncharted 2 which is being developed by Naughty Dog. Now, not many games have been successful in pulling off the "stealth" part, and hence flopped...but let's hope that Uncharted 2 isn't plagued by the problem! Naughty Dog is an incredibly talented dev you know, and, they aren't only technically brilliant, but artistically too!

Here's hoping that Naughty Dog is able to work the same magic that made Uncharted: Drake's Fortune a huge success!

The PlayStation Experience...


The experience at PlayStation Experience was really wonderful! It was houseful! The event started at around 11:45AM and went on till around 7:30PM. There were a lot of games on display including Killzone2! Among others were FIFA09, Mirror's Edge, Resistance2, MotorStorm Pacific Rift and many more including Buzz! and SingStar

I got a hands-on experience with Killzone2 and I must say I was really satisfied! The textures were just amazingly detailed, and the physics was very well indeed! Although there was a glitch with the shadows, the player moved very realistically and fluidly! The lighting and the environment was just perfect

Although I couldn't try out Resistance2 due to the swarming crowd waiting to play the game, just by watching it, it sure looks like a next-gen FPS! Especially, since the first instalment sold pretty well, I believe this one will be welcomed by all PS3 gamers. Insomniac has yet again come out with a attractive for the PS3 gamers! 

LittleBigPlanet took the spotlight, with people in numbers more than you could imagine waiting to play the game! Anyways, I could play the game for nearly 2 hours! Although the graphics isn't state of the art, the physics and the soothing background music was the most enriching element in the game! I played offline multiplayer with my Brother, and we had loads of fun! Although my Brother isn't a regular gamer at all, he took little less than 10 minutes to learn the controls! The 'Pop-It' element was good as expected! Being able to flip, scale and rotate stickers we had lots of fun decorating the level  by oursleves!

I also got to try out Mirror's Edge-the game which took the gaming industry by storm! I was satisfied with the graphics particularly, as there were jagged edges everywhere-and that too the display was a Sony 46-inch Full HD TV! Yet, Faith's hand was amazingly detailed, with even the finger-nails looking realistic! Due to  the controls being a bit clumsy, I couldn't even do a proper jump! Alwasy jumping off the towers only to fall with a thud on the road way below, and re-spawning again, I personally didn't like the game-although the 2-D flash version was ridiculously good!

MotorStom Pacific Rift was nothing like what the original MotorStorm was! The gameplay was a little choppy, and the environment was that richly detailed or textured unlike Uncharted:Drake's Fortune.

Sony India announced that  LittleBigPlanet would be launching soon in India, and so will a 80GB version of the PS3 which is selling like hot-cakes in the U.S.!

There was also a PSP section where gamers pit themselves against others in multiplayer modes in a variety of games. LocoRoco2 is to be launched soon , said Sony.

In the PS2 section, there was Cricket, and WWE fo course! Cricket was confusing, but WWE was good!

I was too sad to leave the stadium, expecially after being mesmerized by LittleBigPlanet...

Loads of trophies for Uncharted!

48 to be precise! Yes that's a 50 minus 2! It seems one of the best games for the PS3 is recieiving some trophy kick start! Check this; once you have all trophies you will get another one for having collected all! You will be given trophies for headshots, finding treasures, beating people to death and finishing the game and so on....come on you Naughty Dog!

All too good eh? Here's the sad part; thr trophies are NOT RETROSPECTIVE!
