In yesterday’s PSN update, Sony and Naughty Dog published the first in a series of four Uncharted motion comics. The first in the Eye of Indra series is free. The other three will be bundled for $2.50. Based on the first episode, it will be well worth your money to snatch those up when they’re released next month. In case you’re wondering, this is all a prequel to the first Uncharted game. For now, in case you aren’t in front of your PS3, check out Eye of Indra and go play some more Uncharted 2.
Back when the PS3 launched roughly 2 years ago, a lesser known game, featuring a swashbuckling treasure hunter, was released. The game quickly earned high praise from various publications and soon became one of my favorite games of all-time. It was one of those rare games that you could play through multiple times and each time be stunned by its greatness. The story, graphics and gameplay (minus some small gripes), all came together to create a game that felt like a great action flick. Since then, the hype has been building for Naughty Dog’s sequel. Expectations were through the roof. If this game was going to succeed, it really would need to be absolute perfection. Now that the game has been released to the masses, I can safely report that this game delivers on all levels, easily making it a candidate for game the year.
That’s right. The most requested feature by Playstation 3 owners, the addition of cross-game chat, could be coming as early as the next firmware update. While cross-game chat has been available for a long time on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 owners have had to do without this feature.
At PAX, which I missed due to a wedding, Naughty Dog unleashed a new gameplay video for Uncharted 2 features Nathan Drake battling a ton of enemies and a helicopter on a moving train. Color me impressed. This is easily one of my most anticipated games of the year and I can’t wait to get my hands on the final build. I better get crackin’ if I want to play through the first Uncharted before this drops.
We knew the release date would be this Fall, but Naughty Dog and Sony have revealed that Nathan Drake will be coming to a PS3 near you on October 13th. That’s not too far away, so start saving your loot now because this will be a must buy.
If you’re the pre-ordering type, which most of us here aren’t, there are a few perks. Best Buy is giving away gold weapons for multiplayer, Amazon has a treasure map so you can find things easier, GameStop has exclusive access to the multiplayer demo as well as the downloadable Revenge booster (don’t worry, you can unlock that in the game), and Game Crazy will have an exclusive Currency Multiplier so you can unlock things quicker in multiplier for a limited time.
Some decent incentives to plop down a few bucks early, if you’re into that sort of thing. For me, I’ll wait until October 13th.
In an interview with IGN, Naughty Dog’s Arne Meyer confirmed that an upcoming Uncharted patch will bring 48 Trophies to the game.
You’ll be able to get up to 48 Trophies in Uncharted. There are 47 Trophies related to what you do in the game — finding treasures, hand-to-hand or gun combat and the like — and the last one is the Platinum Trophy for getting all the other Trophies.
All 47 will be directly related to the accomplishments/medals already in the game, so you won’t be too surprised to see what’s there. No word yet on which will be Bronze, Silver, or Gold.
Even without Trophy support, there’s more than enough reason to play through Uncharted for a first, second, or even third time. It’s one hell of game (I picked it for Game of the Year 2007). Can’t wait for August to dust this one back off. There shouldn’t be much else out then, so it’s a good time to get back into the game.
It’s pretty well known I love Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Hell, I gave it Game of the Year. Fans of the series can expect some more adventure/shooting action as Naughty Dog has confirmed a sequel. Christophe Balestra, VP at Naughty Dog, confirmed it in an interview, as reported by Jeux France.
One expected it and Christophe Balestra, vice-president of Naughty Dog, officially confirms it at the time of an interview with LCI: very good Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune will have right to its continuation, of course better according to statements’ of the creators. One awaits the first images and information.
Yeah, the translation isn’t the best, but you get the picture. Can’t say this was unexpected, given the immense critical success of the game. Can’t wait to play some more Uncharted, most likely in 2009.
