Uncharted 3 Beta Gameplay: Airstrip Team Deathmatch Montage

June 30th, 2011

Montage of Airstrip map Team Deathmatch. The first half is an epic battle on the runaway. Multiple trucks following cargo plane. However the first part is too short and small. If they can add something that uses the top of the plane, that would be beyond epic.

The last half is in the airport cargo area(?) Many areas for CQC and two turrets on edges of the map.

Uncharted 3 Beta Videos (Customization, MP and Coop)

June 28th, 2011

Uncharted 3 Beta is out in HK and Korea store for PS+ members. The US store will have it by 2PM PST according to the news.

The customization has some nice potential, which may look great…. or a sign of microtransaction items?

The standard team deathmatch. The airstrip map is interesting but way too confined. Also the transition to the next area is a little bit…. weird.

The chateau map has the Uncharted feel. Ruins with tropical jungle theme, age-old broken furniture around. The nice thing about the MP is the buddy system. Now you can spawn at buddy’s location, and do some silly thing like “high five”.

The coop arena has improved small but significantly. Now the players can join the ongoing session. Each round, the game mode changes, which is nice.

Uncharted 3 Beta Coop Gameplay

June 28th, 2011

Naughty Dog has improved the coop arena quite a lot. Now you can join the session in the middle of the game. Game modes (gold rush, siege, etc.) rotates each round. Enemies are smarter. And yet, the connection is still unstable as seen at the end of the video.

Uncharted 3 Beta MP Gameplay: Airstrip and Chateau

June 28th, 2011

U3 Beta is now available in HK and Korea Playstation Store. In US, it will be available at 2pm PST.

These are Team Deathmatch videos. The first video is Airstrip map and the second is Chateau.


The airstrip map is exciting but way too small. After the take-off, the game goes to the next section, which is a small airport and have many CQC areas.


The chateau map is a classic Uncharted world. They added nice touch like ‘high five’ at 2:00.

June 17th, 2011

inFAMOUS 2 Hero Edition and Killzone 3 Helghast Edition Unboxing

June 7th, 2011

inFAMOUS 2 is finally out with a shocking “Hero Edition”. This includes Sly sling back, 8.5″ Cole MacGrath doll, a super voucher for some DLCs, DC comic and official soundtrack.

The doll actually is pretty heavy/solid and the quality is quite good.

Also I purchased Killzone 3 Helghast edition because it’s now $58 at Microcenter. This includes Helghast helmet replica and Sniper doll. Again the quality is very good. Much better than I expected.

The sniper doll has a joint, which is kinda cute. It is jelly kinda rubber.

Who is Hale? *Spoiler for Resistance 2*

June 6th, 2011

*Spoiler for Resistance 2*

The new Resistance 3 trailer shows a grave of “HALE”….. Nathan Hale?

This is the new trailer from the playstation blog,


In the right bottom corner, there is a wooden cross with “HALE” written. He was dead at the end of Resistance 2 and we all know that. Why does the Insomniac show that here? Just reaffirmation? or something we don’t know?

Uncharted for PS Vita (NGP)

June 6th, 2011

Uncharted: Golden Abyss for Playstation Vita. Live stream capture from E3 2011. Unfortunately, only the camera view was available from the stream.

*audio is a little off*

inFAMOUS 2 Demo: Full Playthrough

June 2nd, 2011

This is the new demo from PS store. All cut scenes are there. Extremely tight control with awesome tweaks like a faster gliding. It’s so fast it feels like flying (almost ;P) Also the small height boost at the beginning of gliding is minor but welcome addition. The melee is good but could be better I think. I kept missing connecting the attack due to a slightly shorter-than-expected melee range.

Voice acting is okay. I didn’t like Cole’s voice, but it is kinda growing in me.
