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:
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
The original is easily one of the best games on the PS3. I can't wait for this.
How ya doing, buddy? John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
I plan to play the original game sometime during my winter break from school, so it's good to know I'll have a sequel to look forward to afterwards.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was the reason why I picked up a PlayStation 3 in the first place, and it is still my favorite game on the platform. I hope the sequel is just as amazing.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |
I am looking forward to it though, which is why I'm waiting until my break to play it instead of playing it now while I'm still being bogged down by schoolwork. FELIPE NO |

Played Uncharted when it came out and my general impression was "this could've been awesome" but it wasn't, and honestly I still don't know what held it back. Well, I don't remember at least. Hopefully Uncharted 2 corrects whatever the problem was. And if it does, well fuck, I'm looking pretty forward to it.
Also, for that "lived up to its hype" comment, unless I'm remembering wrong, I don't even remember it getting as much hype as some other games on the ps3. Lair seemed to get more hype than Uncharted. Most amazing jew boots |
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. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
How was that not content? It's my opinion on a game. I haven't played the game since it came out, but I recall it missing something that held it back. Still a great game, just not as great as it should've been. Fuck.
Also, I clearly said it got hype, just not as much as other games. There's a difference between "a decent amount" and a fuckton like Lair got and LittleBigPlanet got. All it had to do was be a good game and it lived up to the hype. That's not saying much. 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? |
Nearly all of PS3's big titles get a lot more hype than they probably should, and since Lair was one of the early games announced for it it got a ridiculous amount of hype. That combined with the fact that it was created by the guys who did Rogue Squadron, and well, people were excited. It wasn't until right near the release and right after that it became a joke of a game. Before that, people were hyping the shit out of it. Uncharted though, thankfully, didn't get quite the same treatment from what I saw. It probably got the right amount actually. Just enough to get people interested, but not enough to make people think it'll be the next gaming revolution.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I think I remember reading that Uncharted ended up selling around 2 million - I'd say it did pretty well for the amount of hype it received. Granted, I have no idea how many copies of a game need to sell for it to be considered a success (I suppose it all comes down to development cost), but I'm just glad it did well enough to warrant a sequel.
Regardless of how the game was initially hyped, I absolutely loved the first game. My only gripe was that it could have been a little bit longer. Still, the controls were solid, the graphics were amazing, the story was interesting (I actually liked the zombie twist at the end. Totally reminded me of something out of Indiana Jones), and the game had some of the flat out best environments I have ever seen in a game. Easily the best exclusive Sony has going for it. I only wonder what they're going to do different with this new game. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Uncharted is the best game since HALO, and it is the reason why PS3 is the best console on the market.
This is played when I blowdry my hair in the morning. FELIPE NO |
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.
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:

Footage of multiplayer in action:
IGN Video: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves PlayStation 3 Trailer - Multiplayer Reveal Trailer Bought'd. If it's half as interesting as the normal gameplay, I'll be playing this for a long, long time. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I was really worried when they announced multiplayer for this game, I thought it would just be a gimmick a little like in RE5, but after seeing that video, wow I'm sold! It look really fun and intense! I love how height seem to play a big role!

Thread bumping.
I'm curious to see if anyone else got into the beta? It's been a week since I'm playing and I'm having a blast! All the goodness of the single player campaign but into multiplayer, make for a very intense experience. I really love their take at the capture the flag mode, where you have that treasure that you can throw at other teammate. You can even use your pistol to defend yourself. It's pretty fun when you have a good team that manage to past perfectly the treasure all the way to our base For now the two map are pretty solid and fun. I hope in the final release they will explore even more the height feature, by having more then just ground level and second level. Most amazing jew boots |
I haven't played much, but I'm really glad they included co-op scenarios. Much more fun than the competitive modes to me.
I have a spare code if anyone wants it, by the way. edit: code gone! I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? Nothing wrong with not being strong
Nothing says we need to beat what's wrong Nothing manmade remains made long That's a debt we can't back out of

I actually used the extra code Aard had, but then a few hours later Sony sent me a code, so I now have a spare up for grabs should anyone need it.
Anyway, I just got through playing a round of team deathmatch, and I have to say that I was a bit underwhelmed. Granted, I've never really been a big fan of competitive shooters, and overall this didn't really do anything for me to change that. I'll probably play it and the other competitive mode a bit more, but I'm much more excited to try out the co-op. If anyone else in the beta wants to get together for a game, I'd be down for that. EDIT: Code has been given out. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I got another beta code to give away.

Wark! |
Never really heard about this game tbh but I only recently got a ps3, but it looks like a fun game maybe I will play the original first.
FELIPE NO |
Finally got around to playing the co-op mode, and even though it wasn't under optimal conditions (it was only a two player game, and the other dude didn't even have a headset), I still had a lot more fun with it than I did with team deathmatch. As long as it's played properly (i.e. with two other people with headsets), it may end up being as fun as if not more fun than the single player game.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I have the Beta as well right now. PSN ID Skexx, if anyone wants to play co-op some time.
Shows how much I know, I thought it was multiplayer only. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
