Overview
Developed by the studio that brought blockbuster hit franchises Crash Bandicoot™ and Jak & Daxter® to PlayStation fans, Naughty Dog Inc.'s, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is the first game in a new fast-paced action-adventure franchise developed exclusively for the PLAYSTATION3 (PS3) computer entertainment system.
Taking full advantage of the power of PS3, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is developed using proprietary technology that promises to impress players with incredibly realistic characters and lifelike environments. Building on its legacy of extraordinary storytelling, Naughty Dog has created an elaborate plot that will have players guessing at every turn.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, brings players into a world ripe with realism and unexpected juxtapositions. A fallible hero akin to those depicted in pulp-adventure genre films, Nathan Drake brings a humanity and believability never seen before in video gaming, enabled entirely through PS3 technology advancements.
Game Features
Using maps and ancient artifacts, uncover clues and unravel mysteries to find a forgotten island and a treasure that was thought to have never existed
Explore exotic locations. Traverse through living jungles and spectacular 400-year-old ruins.
Drake's companions and allies play an important role in the adventure through cooperative mechanics, gun play and exploration.
Experience fast-paced gunplay: use a variety of environmental elements for cover, shoot enemies off of moving vehicles in high speed chases and more.
Use an array of hand-to-hand fighting moves to put your enemy off balance. Anything from wild haymaker punches to running drop-kicks.
Naughty Dog's advanced animation techniques allow Nathan to switch seamlessly between movements and achieve a whole new level of believability in gameplay. Nathan can reload his weapon while dodging bullets and find cover behind a wall, all in one smooth natural motion.
Characters express lifelike emotion using gesture and facial expression through the use of Naughty Dog's proprietary Wrinkle Mapping Facial Animation system.
High-definition range lighting delivers full floating point color calculations yielding an unequaled level of realism and detail.
Hyper realistic water through physics based Wave Simulation paired with cutting edge Refraction/Reflection rendering techniques.
Utilizing next generation rendering techniques such as Bump Mapping, Parallax Mapping, Blend Shaders, Global Illumination, Runtime Shadows and Real Time Shadows, Naughty Dog has created a vibrant living environment.Και μερικά ακόμα (Credits to DarkusS (http://www.ps3forums.gr/VB3/showthread.php?t=90&page=7#139))
They're still optimizing the frame rate, will end up running at constant 30 fps. Sometimes it goes up to 45 fps with all effects on, but they aim at constant 30 fps as already mentioned. Less than 30 fps is considered a bug.
All textures have been drawn, there are no scanned textures. That's why it looks somewhat cartoony.
Jetski level has 6 million polygons + water reflection + refraction + bump mapping + jitter + shadows + a good number of characters + physics + AI + volumetric explosions + etc
It should take 12 hours to complete.
The AI will learn your behavior and react accordingly. Experienced gamers will have a hard time. They're proud of the AI.
There are no scripted events when you fight with the AI. You'll never see the same situation twice (to some extent, of course).
No auto-aim.
The effects still aren't final. They'll improve close to the very end of the project for optimization's sake.
There's a lot of stuff we haven't seen yet. It's like a movie where a lot of things happen, and it will have lots of varied action: shooting, fighting, platforming, puzzles, enigmas, races, treasure hunting ("you'll be finding things"), etc.
Real time HDR lighting: if there's a sunset, everything on screen will have a reddish tone. Everything will be real time.
720p allows better geometry. We might not see anything better than Uncharted geometry-wise at 1080p.
PS3 devkits let them know all the game stats when they're developing it (duh): GPU load, texture memory, level memory, shadow memory, buffers, how is streaming affected, frame rate, etc.
"I love the AI. The fact that it learns from the player's actions and that it adjusts the difficulty itself is awesomenage. We haven't even exploited half of what the Cell can do. Besides the CPU power, we've got the GPUs (sic) inside the PS3, where you can send some tasks to spare Cell from "digesting" them, so that you get more free CPU time. PS3 still has a lot of untapped power."
They didn't have the time to include a co-op mode and getting the game finished in November. Tons of ideas left out of it, might make it to Uncharted 2. (This is usual in game development)
Nathan Drake has 3000 animations.
Real time cutscenes, no prerendered stuff. It's all real time, in-engine.

Quotes - Aποσπάσματα
I. Τεχνικά θέματα
Tο παιχνίδι χρησιμοποιεί περίπου το 30% της ισχύoς του PS3 ενώ θέλουν όταν τελειώσει το development να έχουν φτάσει ένα 50%. Απλά λόγια ενός dev που πληρώνεται από την Sony για να αυξήσει το hype του παιχνιδιού και να κολακεύσει το μηχάνημα? Εγώ θα πω ΛΑΘΟΣ! Απόδειξη? Οι first party developers έχουν στα χέρια τους εργαλεία από την ίδια την ΙΒΜ και την Nvidia που τους δείχνουν πόσο αποτελεσματικός είναι ο κώδικας τους και πόσο πολύ εκμεταλλεύονται το hardware που έχουν στα χέρια τους. Και ακόμη μια απόδειξη? Δείτε τι παιχνίδια κυκλοφόρησαν σε όλες τις κονσόλες (ειδικά στο PS2) κατά την κυκλοφορία τους και κατά τη διάκρεια που έκλειναν ουσιαστικά τον κύκλο ζωής τους. Τεράστιες διαφορές... Its only the beggining! Thanks to the game's blending technology, different animations can be run together to create more lifelike reactions to the goings-on. For instance, if you shoot someone in the hip, he could hold his side while running for cover, or limp away if shot in the leg. The enemies react a little more realistically now as well, taking cover and getting out of fire if you blanket the area with bullets.Of note is that Uncharted will indeed support the DualShock 3 and its rumble functionality. We tried out a prototype version of the controller with the game and the tactical feedback added a lot to the gunfire and overall experience, proof that Sony finally did the right thing by adding it to the Sixaxis' base functionality.ΙΙ. Ιστορία - Περιβάλλοντα
Αυτό που μου έμεινε από το video είναι ότι η ND προσπαθεί να φτιάξει ένα παιχνίδι με φιλοσοφία ταινίας γι αυτό και δίνει έμφαση πολύ στην υπόθεση,στην πλοκή κλπ κλπ και στο ότι θέλουν να δώσουν στο κοινό ένα παιχνίδι που θα μπορεί αυτός που παίζει να το παίξει με τον τρόπο που θέλει. Δείτε το και εσείς εξηγεί αρκετά πράγματα τεχνικά περισσότερο αλλά και για το story και το παιχνίδι γενικότερα... Αξίζει να το δείτε.The scenery in all of these areas looks fantastic, and is both starkly different than the outdoor sections that we'd seen before while also perfectly matching the look and feel of the island. Naughty Dog's art team is at the top of their game here, as is the technical department for getting so many whiz-bang rendering features running so smoothly.III. Achievements
There are a whole slew of different types of unlockables that you'll be able to snag, including behind-the-scenes footage, artwork, additional costumes and even other playable characters (though Nathan will still appear in the cutscenes). You'll also be able to unlock different rendering modes, like a black and white mode, a sepia-toned mode, a next-gen filter (with appropriate super bloom and saturated colors) and even a mode that doesn't utilize textures, allowing you to see how the geometry was put together more easily.

Real time cutscenes, no prerendered stuff. It's all real time, in-engine.

Quotes - Aποσπάσματα
I. Τεχνικά θέματα
Tο παιχνίδι χρησιμοποιεί περίπου το 30% της ισχύoς του PS3 ενώ θέλουν όταν τελειώσει το development να έχουν φτάσει ένα 50%. Απλά λόγια ενός dev που πληρώνεται από την Sony για να αυξήσει το hype του παιχνιδιού και να κολακεύσει το μηχάνημα? Εγώ θα πω ΛΑΘΟΣ! Απόδειξη? Οι first party developers έχουν στα χέρια τους εργαλεία από την ίδια την ΙΒΜ και την Nvidia που τους δείχνουν πόσο αποτελεσματικός είναι ο κώδικας τους και πόσο πολύ εκμεταλλεύονται το hardware που έχουν στα χέρια τους. Και ακόμη μια απόδειξη? Δείτε τι παιχνίδια κυκλοφόρησαν σε όλες τις κονσόλες (ειδικά στο PS2) κατά την κυκλοφορία τους και κατά τη διάκρεια που έκλειναν ουσιαστικά τον κύκλο ζωής τους. Τεράστιες διαφορές... Its only the beggining! Thanks to the game's blending technology, different animations can be run together to create more lifelike reactions to the goings-on. For instance, if you shoot someone in the hip, he could hold his side while running for cover, or limp away if shot in the leg. The enemies react a little more realistically now as well, taking cover and getting out of fire if you blanket the area with bullets.Of note is that Uncharted will indeed support the DualShock 3 and its rumble functionality. We tried out a prototype version of the controller with the game and the tactical feedback added a lot to the gunfire and overall experience, proof that Sony finally did the right thing by adding it to the Sixaxis' base functionality.ΙΙ. Ιστορία - Περιβάλλοντα
Αυτό που μου έμεινε από το video είναι ότι η ND προσπαθεί να φτιάξει ένα παιχνίδι με φιλοσοφία ταινίας γι αυτό και δίνει έμφαση πολύ στην υπόθεση,στην πλοκή κλπ κλπ και στο ότι θέλουν να δώσουν στο κοινό ένα παιχνίδι που θα μπορεί αυτός που παίζει να το παίξει με τον τρόπο που θέλει. Δείτε το και εσείς εξηγεί αρκετά πράγματα τεχνικά περισσότερο αλλά και για το story και το παιχνίδι γενικότερα... Αξίζει να το δείτε.The scenery in all of these areas looks fantastic, and is both starkly different than the outdoor sections that we'd seen before while also perfectly matching the look and feel of the island. Naughty Dog's art team is at the top of their game here, as is the technical department for getting so many whiz-bang rendering features running so smoothly.III. Achievements
There are a whole slew of different types of unlockables that you'll be able to snag, including behind-the-scenes footage, artwork, additional costumes and even other playable characters (though Nathan will still appear in the cutscenes). You'll also be able to unlock different rendering modes, like a black and white mode, a sepia-toned mode, a next-gen filter (with appropriate super bloom and saturated colors) and even a mode that doesn't utilize textures, allowing you to see how the geometry was put together more easily.
