New Uncharted forum? You Decide.

Balfie

Hi Lads/Ladies.

A few of us gamers have asked for a new Uncharted forum over on the forum request's, with the new Beta coming out last night, an Uncharted 3 voted the most anticipated game of the year at E3, we think it might be about time that we got a forum going for it here on boards.

If ya would like to see the forum here on boards, please go to this link on the forum requests an something simple as +1 in a reply or write an essay if ya like, telling everyone how much ya love the game or whatever.

Thanks guys.

um, no?

Why do we need a forum for a bi-annual game? You'd have six months of busy chatter pre-release, a month or two of activity post release, and then boom - dead.

The whole games forum was drastically reshuffled to cut down on the unnecessary amount of subforums. If we go back to the old habits of creating a forum for every currently 'hot' game we're back where we started.

So, in short, no. Because there's no need for a whole forum when a thread or two will suffice.

Genghiz Cohen

Also no.
There is like 1 thread in the Games forum about Uncharted.

As I said in the forum suggestion threat, it's not a big enough game to warrant a forum dedicated to it. A thread or even two - one for single player, one of multi - in either the games or Playstation forum would be enough.

The Games forum is only recently getting back to what it was before all the fragmentation of forums and doesn't need to go down that road again.

Indeed: here is as good a point as any to point out what a success the refocus on the main games forum has been.

The place is tidier, the community is stronger, interesting voices aren't being drowned out in multiple scattered threads.

Again, going down the root of forums for specific titles is a step in the wrong direction. Multiplayer games with extremely active communities - like MMORPGs, and CoD (which is very much an exception in terms of popularity) - are the only ones that warrant a whole forum.

Helix

would be a waste of a forum imo

Kersmash

it'll never be accepted, especially seeing as other series like fallout and deadspace can't get a forum. I doubt it'd be that active anyway tbh

Otacon

Uncharted is my favourite game series of this generation, but I still don't think a forum of its own is necessary.

Besides talking about the hottest female character [its the new villain obviously], there won't be enough discussion generated by it.

martineatworld

Four games do not a forum make.

So a no from me. There's a trend forming here...

Kiith

I vote yes.

It's a bad idea...I just to be different.

pablomakaveli

Doesn't merit its own forum at all. They're fantastic games but i just don't see how it would generate enough conversation to deserve a dedicated forum.

Riesen_Meal

I agree with Pablo, while its quite possibly my favourite Ps3 game I just don't think it has enough interest to warrant its own forum, and the movie is cancelled now aswell....

Agree with majority of people, no need to be made into a forum.

Fanny Cradock

A mega thread should suffice.

Overheal

even the half life forum is a waste of space. many of the subforums are a waste of space.

The Half Life forum has a valid reason for existing...and that's to give me hope for EP3/HL3 news everytime there's a new thread, and then promptly take that hope away with something to do with hats :mad:

Daemos

Didn't even realise Forum Requests was open again until now

All the individual forums for game franchises are wastes of space. This would be no exception.

Grumpypants

We should have one great big forum for where all games can be discussed and just call it the "games" Forum.

Magill

I think the whole idea of an "Uncharted" forum is to have it like a community/clan, like the CoD forum is... Most of the people over on the CoD forum play together and its become more like a clan (Or 2, with the xbox guys being the other). You simply won't get that with a single thread on an already packed forum.. A single MP thread in the games forum will die pretty quickly... even if it was a game like CoD.

Retr0gamer

No thanks, we've enough dead forums. The PS forum is there for organising clans and multiplayer.

Im not really debating for or against an uncharted forum... just the reasoning behind wanting a seprate forum.. to discuss MP related issues (Game balancing/gameplay vids/mappacks etc).You really haven't a clue about multiplayer and such so i'd leave it up to those that actually do or at least keep an open mind.

And if you have enough dead forums why not delete the ones that are dead and put up ones with large player bases... support the games that people are playing.. games come and go... im sure the forums you consider dead were once buzzing.

Retr0gamer

I've got no real say in what forums get created and what don't and can't delete or add forums, it's up the the admins. The only reason a game really needs it's own forum is if the series has a massive online following, such as WoW, starcraft or CoD. Who knows, maybe Uncharted will build up that following but at the moment all we have is uncharted 2 multiplayer which is no where near popular enough to warrant it's own forum and a Beta of uncharted 3 on the way. There's no reason there for a new forum to be made. Look how active the Warhawk forum is.

johnny_ultimate

If a game is good enough, the megathread will be kept afloat. If a game gets so popular that there's three, four or five busy main threads on the main games forum at any one time then I'd be certain there's an argument for a dedicated forum.

I love Uncharted and all, but tbh it's kind of like having an Indiana Jones subforum in films.

Warhawk really isn't in the same league as uncharted in fairness... you are probably right in that atm there probably isn't enough of a following on boards to warrant it... atm.

This
How many people are still playing uncharted 2 multiplayer compared to people still playing CoD black ops?
Its not worth it tbh

I heartily endorse this, get on it :P

krudler

I had +1'ed the idea of an Uncharted forum on the requests thread but thinking about it, it actually doesnt need one, one megathread is plenty, or two, one for SP one for MP, and leave it at that. If it gets as big as something like COD or Battlefield (which it may) then it'd be a good idea but until then its grand as is.

Balfie

where I can honestly agree with some of what you guys are saying, I just put forward the idea of asking for a new forum for the game, I didn't want to start a lot of hostility of this is good or this is bad, really lads, its up to all of us, I was putting it forward cause I, an alot of others think it is a great idea to have a forum, considering, under shooter we have from what I have looked at, 2 out of 9 forums that are really worth keeping, cause they get posts, an the only one that gets posts everyday out of all them is call of duty. battlefield falls well behind.

to consider where we are now, is you guys want to keep the games where it is, from the last count I had was 30 something for an I think 7 or 8 against.

If we do or dont get one, all I want to say here is, we can stop the crap, we are gamers, want it, dont want it, no need to be gettin into moods over who wants it an who doesnt, it was just a lil request, if ya look on the forum requests page, on the first page, there is 2 approved an the rest rejected, its just an idea lads, we will be lucky if we get it.

sorry for the long speech but I had to get it out..

Daemos

That post confuses me. You started a thread about whether to have an Uncharted forum or not, and you got people either agreeing or disagreeing. What exactly were you expecting?

I wasnt expecting a lot of hostility, I was expecting the yes an the no replys, but this thread has just looked like it needs to be sorted out in a cage fight with UFC rules,

Daemos

I've seen more hostility in a Teletubbies episode to be honest, with respect I think you're over-reacting

well to be honest, a bon jovi concert, a good few drinks, an a blurry eyed view, I can imagine ur right pal. I will possibly wake up tomorro an think, oh jaysus, look at this an think oh feck I was being an idiot,

pablomakaveli

I think a multiplayer forum for organizing clans,game nights etc would be better to be honest as it could cover all the multiplayer games and then there'd be no need for forums dedicated to one series of games.

FYP

TheDoc

Definitly does not warrant its own forum, as said above a franchise game doesnt require a forum for itself, especially this one.

There are MUCH larger games and franchises, that have constant active debates and conversation that have to do with the general game sforum, and uncharted should be no different.

FutureGuy

Definately a no from me.

where on earth are you seeing hostility?

people answered the question you asked

noodler

Sometimes, when theres a particularly interesting game - I may find it interesting to post a particular plot point for discussion (Fallout thread being an example) and I don't want my point being drowned out by 50 subsequent posts in the next day or so because other people are talking about Y when I tried to talk about X (someone who would have discussed X may miss it).

It can be a pain to read all 100 pages in a thread.

Even after saying all that, I don't see how the relatively linear Uncharted could possible need a forum of its own.

No.

koneko

The only hostility I'm seeing came from someone that was for the idea.

So you didnt read the first line of the post... nice. And i was stating facts(The poster i was refering to has stated multiple times that MP is not his "thing"), nothing more.

koneko

I did, but you're still coming across as hostile

Vegeta

I mod the TES forum and once thought this sort of forum would work. They don't, so I'm a No too.

ShadowHearth

It took us ages to get minecraft forum, and that game does need multiple threads and it has huge community. It will allways have it too, as it's more then a game.

A forum for ps3 exclusive which is good, but will be forgotten whn next cod comes out is about silly... I newer seen much activity on uncharted games here.


Good game thought.
