Uncharted: Drakes Fortune Demo Now Availible

[krik]

Ok, I got the demo. With the overload of the PSN with both the firmware 2.0 and Drake's it took me 5 hours!

Was it worth it? YES

The good:
- Unbelievable light/shadowing. Trees casts shadows on everything, even on bushes, etc. Gun fire also lights up
- Awesome graphics
- Drake's cloths DO get wet. They take some time to dry up. Not great but shows the detail Naughty Dog put into the game
- The cover system is the best I've ever played on any 3rd person game. Better than Gears of War.
- AI is awesome. I played Hard and got my ass kicked pretty often. This on the first level, rofl
- Some interesting bits I noticed from the AI:
- Enemies react to where you shoot them. I shot a guy in the leg and he kept holding the leg until I killed him. Would even walk like holding it. Shot another in the chest and his hand went to the EXACT spot I shot him at. Pretty awesome IK animations.
- Enemies are very smart taking cover and popping in other places or running for better cover
- They also come down to you and shoot/melee you when you stay in the same place too long
- I shot an enemy that was going to throw me a grenade and he reacted to the shot and threw the grenade up in the air. Ended up hurting himself and killing his buddy. Used that same tactic later on to kill to 2 nasty dudes that where not letting me hit them at all.

The bad:
- Just like Ratchet's demo the frame rate has some issues (tearing). Hope that they fixed them since the demo (Ratchet release runs at a solid 60FPS but the demo had some tearing and frame rate drops when the buildings where collapsing)
- Throwing grenades takes a little getting used to

Going back to play... but as far as I can see it's definitely shaping up to be the best PS3 title yet. This including Ratchet and CoD4. Yes, it looks that good.
