If you wanted a title for PS Vita brand, you've got. Drake's adventure is almost as solid as portable home console. Uncharted: Golden Abyss was one of the strongest letters of presentation of the new Sony laptop a little over a year when it was then still known as NGP or Next Generation Portable. Their existence was a logical move, after all, the Uncharted series is surely one of the most successful current exclusive PlayStation 3 in both sales and reviews of those created by Sony's internal studios. While deliveries had PSP God of War, the jewel in the crown of PlayStation 2, Nathan Drake dared not make the jump to the platform, perhaps because their origin needed a power and control that were outside the realm of the old laptop-yet we know that Naughty Dog studied the possibility of making a game for her. The announcement of who was behind the game itself caused us some concerns: Bend Studio. Syphon Filter The creators of the excellent series of action in the PSOne days, had spent a bleak past decade, with good games but reduced without excessive media coverage and support of the players. After many games featuring Logan on PlayStation 2 and PSP, and a chapter on third-person action based Resistance comes the real test for the team, take control of Drake laptop, resist comparisons with the three sets of Naughty Dog on a more powerful machine and in the process creating one of the first "sell consoles" PlayStation Western Vita. Bend Studio has emerged unscathed from their goals. The general outlines of Uncharted: Golden Abyss is very similar to those of his older brothers on the PlayStation 3, and although we will not cry at any moment that revolutionizes the formula established, we thank you have chosen a completely new game, exclusive, and not just a conversion. Inevitably in a notebook of this power to populate the catalog direct adaptations that make bulk long term but are not personality or incentive to purchase the system. This Uncharted is probably the perfect excuse to seize Vita PS if you like the series and for various reasons, the first is its fun, very similar to that achieved by Naughty Dog, and at last we regret the absence of a second control analog action games, which augurs a promising future for many games of this style. The second reason, less purchasing decision but we can not forget, is that right now is one of the more games that exploit the technical and control console.
Good news, we do not know whether intentional or not, is that Uncharted has been the least gutted in the series. There are trailers, images, presentation of characters, but in general we can only say that if you followed the official material, this new adventure will catch you by surprise. We do not want to spoil the mystery kept until now, so we will simply explain the basics: Drake embarks on a new history in Central America with an old friend, Jason Dante, who needs their services to investigate a mystery 400 years ago . We will meet Marisa Chase, the "girl of the story" and friend of Dante, a relative of a famous archaeologist of which is following in his footsteps after his mysterious disappearance, and finally we have the villain Roberto Guerro, a revolutionary who is no longer part of the army but has a good battalion under his command. History will have its usual twists and turns, plenty of historical documentation on Spanish explorers, and an argument that is placed before the main series at some unspecified time, although a sentence of Drake has left doubt about it-but not so keen the main story as were the God of War PSP, ie it is a separate chapter that you can play without knowing thoroughly Drake, though of course more enjoyable especially with the return of a familiar character. Mind you, Elena, Chloe and Cutter here in theory had not yet crossed paths with the hero of the series. For the location of the story, Golden Abyss sufficiently close to the first steps of Drake on PlayStation 3, where the jungles, landscapes, Spanish explorers, temples, legends and treasures are the main background, all adorned with a soundtrack that very reminiscent of the original game's setting issues, there are variants of themes and instruments Drake's Fortune. The game is dubbed into spanish and a level rarely seen in super-portable, with many sequences generated by the console. This is another of the strengths of Uncharted on laptop: a real demonstration of what your newly purchased PS Vita should aspire to the best releases from now. Being a game available on day 1 of the console we can expect the bar even rise further in coming years, and now there is no portable game erase the line between laptop and home. Yes, we know you do not buy a PS Vita to have the same as a PlayStation 3 but small screen, but as a strategy for the launch of the console is important safe bet, and now Uncharted is for Sony.
Control in the abyss of gold has a basic part perfectly know if you've played the PlayStation 3 Uncharted. We will not stop much in it because it is well known: cover shots, stealth kills, climbing and grappling. The news comes on the side of its realization. During the first few minutes, as usual, we present the tutorial integrated into the adventure. The first Uncharted taught you to throw grenades with the motion sensor, the second included elements of stealth, and improved third fight with fists and objects. On this occasion, reach and touch functions sensor motions of PS Vita. You can play in a fairly traditional except for a peak times, but either out of curiosity or to test system capabilities really want to experience something new. We reiterate: it is an optional except for the QTE in cinematic-that instead of buttons, make us touch the screen and slow motion fights where you provide these attacks Bend Studio has been commissioned to please everyone, choose the option you choose. Preferring by the new control, touch screen normally carry out many actions that we did with the buttons, like picking up objects and weapons from the ground or recharge. The natural inertia is passed over a new rifle and press triangle, but soon get used to it with your fingers if you're in a shooting situation. Another possibility is to cut barriers to the tip of the index, thanks to our machete-and point the target that Drake must jump over the platforms phases indicating the route by which to move, during the fighting, doing sweeps and run the animation touches physical fighting, and for some mini games to name one you have seen in the trailers an engraving by swiping your finger across the surface of paper.
What is lacking in the game to be like those created by Naughty Dog? As the first series foray into portable, and also at the hands of another study, there is little to criticize. Perhaps there is so fresh in character development as in the trilogy and the story is not as memorable, and although it is remarkable from start to finish, or contains less epic moments of adrenaline highs Uncharted 2 and 3, say it is more homogeneous. It is noted that Bend Studio has followed exactly the instructions for step Uncharted and has added new control derived from PS-specific Vita, but have lacked the small step that separates a great game a classic timeless. The clearest example we have to own Naughty Dog in Drake Fortune, that with the difficulty of being the start of the series, performed well but fell short of ideas to explore their potential. And gold abyss is in some ways even better than the first title-game Uncharted Vita is not a series of shootings against hordes of enemies, all that happens is that the current standard is very high with the kingdom of thieves and Drake's betrayal. However, if the first of Uncharted is your favorite, The Abyss of gold is that spirit more "quiet" you liked so much that has been lost with each sequel, and mixed with some of the later innovations and other lesser used as the phases of escort or protection. Because Greg Edmonson worked for years in most of the soundtrack to Uncharted 3, Clint Bajakian takes over in this chapter. If you have questions about Bajakian, no further mention that in Edmonson worked with Drake betrayal and that history has a lot of work for LucasArts games, among which are several degrees of Indiana Jones saga, Star Wars, Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, as well as Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror for Bend. In short, from the main theme playing in the start menu to the stretches of ambient sound simple, it shows that it is a Uncharted.
We questioned the importance of the lack of a multiplayer mode, because although always Uncharted interesting history, we admit that we would have used the online features of PS Vita, especially when Bend Studio has the experience and PSP multiplayer, yet the team seems to make something by way of downloadable content according to the latest news, so do not rule out some form of cooperative or competitive. If confirmed, would raise the value of play. Have no doubt Uncharted: Golden Abyss is the launch title you expected to wear with your new console unless you just do not like the genre or the series. It is an overproduction of pocket able to look face to face to home consoles without any problem in the control or almost in presentation, with a handful tactile puzzles scattered throughout the adventure, a new story Drake wasting with charisma as ever, and a slightly different development due to the change of authors, for better or for worse, but different, which provides the basis for the third-person action games for future PS Vita. Now you can say loud that shooting games are fun finally portable.
