Okay, you've seen Nathan Drake blow up a plane and crash land in a desert. So... what happens that? Apparently, things don't get much better for our hero. Sure, he's going to have to fight some well-armed henchmen. But the worst thing? He needs to get water.

Keep an eye out for some of Nathan's new moves in this Uncharted 3 gameplay clip, such as the enhanced melee combat, and aerial takedowns.

    Why would they do that? It's part of the challenge of the game and it makes it (slightly) more realistic. Just because you want to be able to auto-collect ammo doesn't mean the devs want you to be able to.

      Why not make a trophy for collecting ammo?

  After Uncharted 2, the series is the best this generation. Uncharted 3 will seal that deal and it will sweep game of the year awards, losing possibly only to Skyrim.
  
  Naughty Dog is on fucking fire with that series. It's absolutely untouchable.

    It's a bit of a mystery to me. I mean the games are fun cinematic good times and look fantastic, but the actual gameplay always leaves me unsatisfied. Platforming and traversal can be done blindfolded, puzzles are a joke, and the the shooting has always felt incredibly sub-par compared to everything else. Uncharted is at its best in the overblown scripted sequences and when Drake is throwing punches or pulling guys off ledges rather than shooting 1000s of random dudes.

      Sidejack - I never understood the term subpar. It must not be a golf related reference because being below par is actually quite good!

      I think the thing that sets it apart is that you feel like you have an active role in the story. Not that the story is taking place around you, but that you are actually IN the story. Not many games do that well.

    I was thinking the exact same thing and was going to post this but you did. Best series this generation and there have been a lot of good games.

  Dammit why did I watch that!?! Sure looks great though. I loved the tackle from the top of the stairs. Enemies look like they'll really keep you on your toes.

  Just to be clear, if you have not played the first two Uncharted games DO EET NOW.
  
  I've been gaming for a long time now and those are two of the best games I've ever played on any platform.

  The game looks awesome, but the exaggeration of his thirst and exhaustion, yet he's able to pull off these amazing feats of strength of endurance is a little bit retarded.

      Adrenaline is a bitch. You can find yourself doing things you never thought possible.
      
      A cop shot in the heart in LA by gang bangers was able to hold on for 7 minutes. During that time she killed the gang bangers and was able to put pressure on the wound for medics to come. She lived.

  This game always amazes me and begs the question why anyone even gives a shit about COD... It's so boring compared to what this game has in game play and story...

    You know a game that had good Physics? Rage, I mean everything was shootable and breakable... Oh wait ID tech 5 this next gen engine has none of that OR Dynamic lighting... And yet this game has all that and worlds that look exactly (or better) than that game...

      Yea, the game looks really good, but the columns collapsing from 2 shots and they (or anything) not breaking by a grenade...
