New Uncharted 3 info emerges

Naughty Dog recently released a new trailer for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception which introduced you to the game’s main villain as well as showcase some features of the game. The team was present over at GDC 2011 and they talked about UC 3 in detail over there.

Today, we discover a few details regarding the game, which includes the 3D tech used in the game as well as the various fire effects that the game will be incorporating.

3D:

  • The 3D support for the game was planned from the beginning and isn’t a feature forced mid-way through development.
  • The 3D tech is being made from scratch and has been fully integrated into the game’s engine.
  • The 3D tech will also benefit the visual rendering of the 2D version of the game.
  • The 3D experience will try to re-create all the feelings of the player in-game and transfer them to you, such as the feeling of dizziness during certain section of the game.

Fire Effects:

  • The particle system the game has been reworked to make the most spectacular fire-effects possible.
  • The intensity and execution of fire clearly give the impression that the player is trapped in the fire
  • The fire will affect the environment, it can open up new paths and can be used in combat as you can shoot certain razing items to make them collapse, assisting you in battle.
  • The enemies will have several animations which they will showcase when present in a environment which is on fire.
  • Immense effort has been made by the team to incorporate several reactions for Drake when he is surrounded by fire, to make it seems as realistic behavior.

I still laugh at the people that think 3D will somehow "penalize" the game.

the jest is to keep people focused on the presentation of the gameplay experince...the entire game is renderend to have a back up engine in the 2d format all of our old tools were in 2dand it`s thank`s to the PS hardware that the polygon rendintion takes to life whilst giving the player seamless control of drake during his adventure...everything even down to facial expression were hand rendered...even drake`s clothing is calibrated to provide colision dection with the everyroment even the fire graphic has collision dection...as people follow Drake into his adventure the team makes every moment of the game is action packed!

WOOT!

And yes ladies...KillZone 2 hit my projected mark! I am stoked! I remember hosting MP Beta on the PS2 with the first of the series with such a devoted fan base.... Only 5 million untis to go for PS3 and we will be in the profit margin! I dare claim another 2.5 million PS3 units sold before 2012!
