The smoke is looking much better this time around. It’s not just a static asset - the fire deteriorates the wood realistically and there are blowback effects, like you would expect. "We’re always on the lookout for new technical challenges and we’re really happy with what we’re achieving with our fire effects. The burning chateau sequence put the game's fire effects front and center, and Meyer revealed that fans may have a very smoky game ahead of them:
It takes real confidence in the project to tackle one of the most problematic elements of programming for their world premiere. Anyone who has seen the games being made know that the actors are just as committed to the vision as the developers. We're all for the refinement of animations, especially now that we know how large a game world Naughty Dog will be producing in their new desert locale. "Everything we do is aimed at blurring the line between the game and reality, and making the player believe in this world." Essentially, we’re adding more steps to each character animation so that it blends better when you switch from one routine to another. A lot of the work we’re doing is on animation, so that there’s more realism when you start running from standing, for example. "We’ve also taken a look at the traversal gameplay and made some improvements there, many of which are physics based, so objects react more realistically when Drake climbs on top of them.
We've been told how combat and traversal have been expanded for the third game, but the tools given to the player are just one art of the equation: Real physics and environment deformation are key in creating a realistic playing experience, according to Meyer. There's no question that the game won't be lacking where the nuts and bolts are concerned, as the last gameplay video showed how realistic and physics-based the environments will be. In a recent interview posted to the PlayStation blog, Naughty Dog's Community Strategist Arne Meyer outlined the upgrades that fans will be able to see to the already-impressive graphics of Uncharted. For Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Naughty Dog is taking the technical strengths of the series even farther, and trying to give players the most realistic gaming experience they've ever seen. With the first two entries in the Uncharted series, the developers received more than a handful of nods for Game of the Year, but that isn't slowing them down one bit. While many game developers would be happy to publish a successful title and enjoy some much-earned relaxation, Naughty Dog is doing things a little differently.
