[PS3] Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. They should go back and steal the horrible zombie plot

This got a mention in the PS3 thread, but I figured it deserves it's own, you know for rumour, speculation, news and generally going "Woo, Uncharted 2, yay".

Teaser trailer (HD version here):

I loved me the first Uncharted, I thought it did the adventure/combat/puzzling thing in a really smart way, and looked amazing too, so I'm very excited about this.

Apparently we can expect an annoucement with more details on December 14th.

Some additional info, as I just spotted this on JoyStiq:

New information care of Game Informer, which has "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" as its cover story. The game will revolve around Marco Polo's voyages and includes new free climbing and -- gulp -- "stealth" gameplay.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As someone with just a PS3, how have you not played Uncharted yet? Madness.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So you thought the game may have had a problem, but don't know what that problem is, but hope that they fix that unknown problem in Uncharted 2, if indeed there was a problem at all. Right. Care to say less with your post?

I'm all for getting involved and taking part, and you are to be commended for that, but come on at least attempt a little substance (post count doesn't mean shit, post content does).

And yes Uncharted was hyped. I mean, of course it was. Uncharted is a great game on the PS3 that is also that rare beast: a PS3 exclusive. Certainly at the time of its release there wasn't much else to show off as a great PS3 exclusive so I recall it getting a fairly decent amount of hype. But thankfully it certainly lives up to it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Saying something is not the same as having something to say.

And yes, you are correct there is a difference between 'a decent amount' and 'a fuck ton' of hype, however, I don't believe Lair got 'a fuck ton' of anything. It got pretty heavily mocked for having a terrible control system, but that's about it. It certainly didn't receive much hype, at least not over here. Uncharted on the other hand was very much hyped up. No, not as much as LBP, but then very few games have been hyped as much as LBP on any platform, not just the PS3.

Anyways, for people interested in Uncharted 2, there's a decent sized feature on it in this month's Edge magazine (I need to give that a glance over soon), for which it is the cover game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Time to give this thread a kick, since there's now news that Uncharted 2 will feature some (up to 3 player) co-op missions and an online multiplayer mode when it hits in November-ish time.

Quote:

Sony has confirmed that Naughty Dog's PS3 action sequel Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be graced with online multiplayer modes, including co-op.

At a preview event in Los Angeles last week, attended by Eurogamer, Naughty Dog surprised the press by showing deathmatch and 'Plunder' competitive modes for teams of five, and three-player co-op maps based on - but separate from - the single-player adventure. It's a departure for Uncharted; the first game was a strictly solo affair.

Plunder is a capture-the-flag variant in which teams of "heroes" and "villains" compete to find treasure and lug it to safe spots. Deathmatch is a straightforward race to a set kill count.

In the co-op mode shown, players battle through a level dominated by intense combat, occasionally teaming up to overcome physical obstacles.

There will also be a cinema mode similar to Halo 3's Theater, allowing players to record replays and direct the camera, and a linked website offering stats and leaderboards.

For those based in the US there's also news that you'll be able to grab access to the beta with copies of inFamous, the PS3 exclusive sandbox titles coming this summer:

Quote:

Sony has revealed that everyone who buys inFamous in the US will receive a bonus - access to the multiplayer beta test for Uncharted 2.

Announcing the news at an event last week, Nate Fox, creative director of inFamous developer Sucker Punch, said: "We're so excited. Naughty Dog is like a brother studio to us."

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, I've pre-ordered it, but then the options of place were slightly different over here in the UK. I went for the version that comes in a steelbook case, with the golden guns, extra MP skins and what-not. I pretty much went with that because there was a voucher that meant I could get it practically the same price as the normal version and because of the steelbook case.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
