While the future of the Xbox 360 in the Indian market is relatively secure, the PS3’s place is still a little iffy. The lack of quality software is among the main reasons (apart from the wallet-butchering price tag), but from what we’ve seen, that just might change in the near future.
Even if it doesn’t, it’s good to see publishers and distributors like Milestone Interactive and EA make an effort to get as many titles to the Indian market as possible. In fact they invited us to their Mumbai office yesterday, where they showcased (and gave us a shot at) some of their future releases…
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
We had a chance to play an early build of the game a while back (again, courtesy of Milestone) and quite frankly, we weren’t too impressed. The texturing seemed inadequate and the gameplay seemed really loosely packed back then, leaving a lot to be desired. This time, however, we laid our hands on a near-complete build of the game, which plays much better and wasn’t disappointing at all.
Apart from the clean visuals and the gradual way the game leads you into the action, what impressed me most was how tight the gameplay has become. Nathan Drake (the game’s playable protagonist) controls as responsively as (if not more than) Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Legend, allowing you to jump across ledges and hanging over bottomless pits with ease. It certainly seems like Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune will live up to the expectations they set, and be a real treat for fans of the platform/action genre.
ITs coooooooool!!!!!
