Amazing how they can pump out one of the best games this gen in under 2 years, when it takes games like FF XIII (6 years) and GT5 (5 years)...

FF 13 and GT5 also didn't have their entire graphics engine built already and assets from a previous game on the same platform to use. They also didn't have the gameplay fundamentals already done.

It's easier to make sequels. case in point: Gears 2, Halo ODST, Mass Effect 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2.

ND were able to make U1 and U2 in less time...how about if I word it like that?

U1 suffered the blow of being rushed.

how do you figure it was rushed? It was amazing. Probably still the best graphical game this gen besides Killzone 2, Gears of war 2 or gran turismo 5. 

I played Uncharted 1 because sooooo many people on this site said it was one of the best games this generation and arguably the best game on PS3. Needless to say I was extremely dissapointed, It was gorgeous, yes, but I thought it was extremely repetitive, though it got pretty interesting towards the end, and very short, in fact, waaaaaaaay too short. I classify Uncharted 1 as "good" not "amazing". Uncharted 2 however, can be "amazing"

@iBlah

You act like i'm an Uncharted 2 hater, it's actually quite opposite, I'm anti-nonsense, I don't really hate anything but I do hate it when people tout things as being impressive when they are really not. I'm impressed ND has squeezed so much out of the Ps3, but it's still just improvements over the already established graphics engine that came with Uncharted 1(and probably resulted in the quality of Uncharted 1 faltering from what it could have been). And the online multiplayer, according to reviews i've read, was essentially copy pasted from other games. While it will be great fun, and look great, it's complete nonsense to be impressed that the sequel took 2 years to complete.

Super Mario Galaxy has probably seen about 2 years of development, and will look even better than Galaxy 1, pushing Wii hardware to the limits, but while i'm impressed that they managed to get so much out of the Wii, it's still just improvements over the original engine, and I don't think anyone is impressed that it took 2 years to make Galaxy 2, in fact I don't think it croseed anyones minds, neither should Uncharted 2.

I'm suprised you are not. I am one of these people who believe Uncharted is the best game on PS3, if you don't like it then its all subjectivity, not impressive to you may well be impressive to other people, so don't push your opinion either. I'm not sure who said Uncharted 2 MP is a copy/paste from other games, but as far as I know no online shooters have given players the freedom to fully interact with enviroment before.

Sequel or not, to make a game with amazing graphics, gun fights, puzzles, platformings, melees, cinematic mode, optional different game styles and a cracking online in 2 years is impressive in my book, lets just keep it that way, end of discussion.
