This is THE reason to buy the NGP, if the screenshots are any indication of the game's overall quality.

This is how you do a launch title, take my money already.

My money, it's theirs. Going to be playing Uncharted everwhere I am this winter!

as long as NGP doesn't have some retarded launch price, this will be a day 1 buy

Like all of the game's touch-screen functions, you can ignore this altogether and use more traditional button controls.

Golden Abyss also used the NGP's accelerometer (or as some devs surprisingly referred to it, "SIXAXIS controls") in a number of ways. In the first example I was tilting the entire unit in a single direction to make Drake lean out and reach towards a ledge when platforming. The second time I was able to use it was in a firefight when using a sniper's scope. Instead of controlling the reticle like in a traditional shooter, I had to move the entire NGP unit to aim at my target. I personally didn't find any of this motion stuff to my liking, particularly this sniper targeting -- I was quickly reminded of the ill-conceived forced flight controls in Lair. Fortunately, like other gesture- and touch-based controls I encountered, I'm told this is entirely optional and can be disregarded or turned off altogether.

Reminds me of the SIXAXIS shit in the first Uncharted. Completely optional (read: Sony requires their 1st party developers to shoehorn in the gimmicks but thank god you can turn it off if it feels too alien).

And if you're worried that it's lolSyphonFilterDevelopers:

The studio is working closely with Naughty Dog, including creative director Amy Hennig, to make sure both the characters and stories are authentic. Bend is promising over two hours of movies to help tell the story, even utilizing the same mo-cap and sound studios used for Drake's Fortunate and Among Thieves.

Two hours of cutscenes, and it's still Nolan North doing Drake. Dang.

Wasn't interested in the NGP AT ALL, but got damn.

I just might be now.

God I'm not going to get any work done today am I.

Zooming a sniper scope in/out with touch controls = sexy
Aiming grenade lobs with the same = not as much.

Still, holy christ this needs to come out yesterday.

Bless baby Jesus.

Oh and for the love of god can I get a new Jak and Daxter game.

Was Lost Frontier any good?
