[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9314245, member: 18"] I'm genuinely sorry to be a downer, but that's not what we're getting according to the designers, even though I agree this particular trailer makes it look like that. Uncharted is a really tightly-designed level-based platformer/shooter by Naughty Dog, who have knocked it out of the park repeatedly with their game design in the particular genre. They were working on a Star Wars game that was pretty much exactly you described: [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ragtag[/URL] If this was level-based, I would be pretty excited about it - because the very few level-based games released by big companies in the last few years - including the recent Ubisoft level-based platformer/fighter Prince of Persia, have been pretty excellent. Whereas this is, according to the people who made it, an Ubisoft open-world game, with all that entails - i.e. like Far Cry or the Assassin's Creeds of the last few years (but not Mirage). As I noted, those unfortunately vary wildly in quality, and I believe 100% of the ones Ubisoft has released in the last 5 years also featured things like a big, pushy microtransaction shop trying to sell you skins/outfits and so on. It could be a 9/10 game. It could be a 4/10 game. It's probably going to be a 7/10 game. [/QUOTE]
