Well most of us have known its comming but now we get to see the first ever trailer for uncharted 2. Its only a tease trailer but the full trailer will be revealed on the 14th of December :)

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43231.html

Most PS3 owners will have heard of Uncharted before and know it was one of the Playstations biggest success storys this current generation of consoles.

I for one will be looking forward to this with alot of excitment. After seeing what Naughty Dog did with their first outing on the PS3 I can only assume this this game will be stunning after having more time with the hardware.

Naughty Dog were one of the first developers that started to actually tap into the Playstations power and as a result they produced an visually stunning game in Uncharted: Drakes fortune.

Look forward to December 14th PS3 fans for a real trailer for Uncharted 2 and then hopefully 09 we will get to taste the real thing :)

Also - But wait, there's more! Game Informer (http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200812/N08.1201.1525.24193.htm)'s January issue will also feature Uncharted 2 -- and they're calling it: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. According to GI, the sequel will involve the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages. New mechanics in the sequel include a free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay.

Awesome :)


Uncharted is still, IMO, one of the top-two exclusive games on the PS3 - the other being MGS4.

Can't wait :D

I would easily agree with you Matt on both game's. They are also my top 2 games on the PS3 system.

I really cant wait for this one. I've been looking forward to it since the minute I finshed the first one lol and yes I'm that sad.

I hope the rumours of it being a trilogy are correct and if done right I think it could do what Tomb Raider did for the PS1/PS2.

The first one was the very first game I played on my PS3 last Christmas. Couldn't keep off it.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait? Another year maybe?

I dont know if the following it true as I'v never used the source berfore so have no experience but if it is - Wow Uncharted 2 is going to be even more viually stunning than the first.

The Uncharted 2 teaser trailer sent waves through the forums. One question that kept arising; is the trailer rendered in real-time, or is it fancy CGI? Naughty Dog has exclusively given Gamezine the answer.

Richard Diamant, Naughty Dog's Lead Character Artist, told Gamezine; "Yes, the trailer was all rendered real-time in our engine."

So there you have it. Naughty Dog are one of the few developers to dislike creating false expectations with CGI trailers, and just like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, their very first teaser is rendered in real-time.

This worries me slightly but hopefully they will know more about programming for the ps3 platform , i enjoyed unchartered but it suffered from incredibly bad v-sync issues and quite a few fps problems in busy sections, if they sort this with better visuals then fine ,, i can't wait :)

Uncharted 2 will have Multiplayer ! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Thanks to games like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Gears of War, online co-op gameplay has become an almost obligatory bullet point for modern action games. Naughty Dog has chosen to respond to the trend in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/uncharted-2) in a way that's slightly different than usual. Rather than shoehorn a second player into an experience already crafted for solo adventure, it's creating a separate side mission designed specifically with two to three players in mind.


Three-player co-op? Yeah, we were surprised, too. Having tried it with two other honest-to-goodness live humans, we can report that it not only works, but -- so far -- works very well. The combination of smart A.I. opponents, platforming elements and teamwork-based objectives seems a perfect fit for Uncharted 2. Ah yes, teamwork. It's something we quickly found you need to have nailed down -- preferably with two friends -- lest you wish to spend an afternoon yelling at the person who won't stop shooting to give you a leg up.

Alot more information located at the following link - http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/27/joystiq-hands-on-uncharted-2-co-op-multiplayer/


Also there is going to be a deathmatch and plunder mode for multiplayer.

The good news? It rocks. Randy took a long look (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/27/joystiq-hands-on-uncharted-2-co-op-multiplayer/) at the co-op mode, but you couldn't pry me away from Deathmatch/Plunder with a crowbar. Read on to get the full rundown, including the weapons you'll be using, what Naughty Dog copied from Call of Duty 4, and why Plunder is much better than traditional Capture the Flag.

More information and a video at the following link :)

I have to say this is shapping up to be brilliant. I didnt expect MP tbh and its just made me a whole lot more excited for this game :)

When I first heard it has multiplayer, I was a bit disappointed & was worried that it would be some pointless DM type thing just tacked on because "Everything has to have multiplayer".

Co-op though... very interesting :)

Nothing to be disappointed about anyway I think tbh. As long as it did not take away from there core game design to focus on MP then I think its fine.

Also the fact that the way the Co-Op is setup means theres huge potential for CO-OP DLC makes me very happy :)

As I said earlier in the thread, back in December, "Uncharted is still, IMO, one of the top-two exclusive games on the PS3 - the other being MGS4."

It's excellent. Brilliant graphics, gameplay, action, story, etc. If you have a PS3, then "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" is quite simply A.Must.Buy.

It's on budget now...

http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Action/Adventure/~r335999/Uncharted-Drakes-Fortune-Platinum/?s=uncharted

Story driven 3rd person action-adventure. Kind of... Tomb Raider with Gears of War esque cover-combat. Not original, but bloody good. And better than the TR games IMO.

I agree with Matt 100% on that if you own a PS3 this is a must have game. It was probably one of the first games that got the PS3 some notice. An excellent exclusive. Can be picked up very cheaply now to as Matt said.

Yet another glowing review for Uncharted 2:

Closing Comments
If you're reading this, it was unlikely that you weren't already going to buy Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on day one. Really, you just wanted to know how good it is, and fortunately I can say that it's very, very good. It's easily one of the best games on the system, blending fantastic presentation and visuals with gameplay that is practically second to none. And then there's the stellar multiplayer which you'll probably be playing until Uncharted 3 ships. No, Uncharted 2 is not perfect, but it's closer than pretty much any other game out there these days.

9.5/10 - Incredible

Eurogamer have done a Tech Analysis of the game. They seem very impressed. Its 3 pages long but worth a look if your intrested. Theres also some Tech video's through-out the article.

The multiplayer demo released this week is truly something special. It's not often we say this, but every issue we had (along with many we didn't) appears to have been resolved. The level of polish in this demo code (presumably a subset of the full game, now that it has gone gold) is exemplary. It's this kind of work ethic and attention to detail that has made Uncharted 2: Among Thieves the most anticipated game of the year for Digital Foundry, so the chance to get our hands on the multiplayer demo opened up a range of opportunities for us in testing just how far Naughty Dog has come.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-tech-analysis-uncharted-article

My fav quote about the game yet is IGN's - No, Uncharted 2 is not perfect, but it's closer than pretty much any other game out there these days.

If you can't afford it at the moment, will a friend not borrow you it? It's an excellent game and I recommend you play it. Although apparantly playing Uncharted 2 won't spoil Uncharted 1 for those that haven't played it.

Just a post:

They've changed a few things button wise. You now have to reload with R2, not up on d-pad. You aim the grenades with L2, and shot them with it.

I'm sure that is different because you can't select grenades on d-pad anymore.

played the single player for a couple of hours , decided to start on hard difficulty and think it was definately the right decision as i think it would have been a little easy on normal (had read this also on another forum) , the graphics are breathtaking probably , definately the best i have seen on any console, an hour or so of multiplayer to get back into the swing of things and yet again hooked. Hows everyone else finding it?

I am loving it in fact, I had a break from it so I didn't finish it too soon! I tried the multiplayer and that is the best multiplayer game I have played.

Elimination is good, its like team deathmatch but once your dead you are dead for the whole round, no respawning. This is good because people tend to be a bit more careful rather than just charging in like they would in deathmatch so it makes it a more tactical game.

Also there is nothing more satisfying than throwing a gas cylinder and shooting it in mid air to take out an opponent!

Ive noticed it is very difficult to shoot people, yet they run up to me a shoot me with the a pistol, and it appears to take a full magazine to kill someone using the AK, a bit frustrating really.

Good game but a bit unbalanced in multiplayer imo, or is it just the fact that I,m a low rang therefore haven't unlocked the good perks yet?

it will never take a full magazine to kill with the AK , use short conrolled bursts , the FAL is definatley the best weapon long range and the one i use most , if you find it is a game of close combat then the AK or shotgun is my weapon of choice. The latency issue (unloading a full clip into someone and them not dieing) only seem to happen when playing with the US , which i suppose is normal but is highly annoying , it is rare though.

The team balancing definately needs work , it is pure luck whether you get stuck with a load of idiots fighting seasoned players , they never seem to get split evenly according to rank , the perks i'm using at the moment are 'down the irons' and 'fleet foot' , they seem to work well :)

Having only played a dozen games or so, I cant comment too much I suppose, but it does appear to take an awefull lot more than I expected.

Maybe not a full magazine but not far off. Its possible that the few games Ive played so far have been US, in fact I know they have.

I need to give it a good few days hammer, but if its not grabbed me by then, then it never will.

One thing I like is the Co-op and the fact you can still earn money that way. At least it gives you a little break from the concentration required when in a lobby.

Agree with you the long range weapon (FAL) is a pretty decent tool in the right hands.

Finished the Story mode.

Game.Of.The.Year.

Naughty Dog have actually managed to improve on the original, & create a sequel even more stunning.

Graphics, sound, gameplay, action, puzzles, story, script, characters, voice acting... everything is bloody brilliant.

There were some points when I got rather frustrated (especially the final boss, who I hated), but even so, the game is just simply amazing.

I need to try the multiplayer now, as I've only played solo so far.

I've had it since before it came out, and I've been on the final boss for ages. I'm playing on Hard. People seem to tell me about different ledges, but they never work for me.

I'll second that Matt. Even the prescripted action parts were very enjoyable. I've not played a game with such variety in a long while.

Without spoiling anything for other in the thread I'd have to say the train part and the jeeps part were stunning and made you feel like you were really in the game. Very, Very well done to Naughty dog. They truly are the legends of PS3 for me. Cant wait for Uncharted 3 lol. I wounder what the DLC will be ? More co-op missions maybe ? I know theres some free and some paid for. Looking forward to that which is out before christmas :)

I beat the boss first time didnt think he was to hard. I'll PM you what I did just to keep any spoilers out of the thread for others that may not be so far.

The ledge method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbfpv8n8h68

Makes it much, much easier.

I got up to him late last night, & after dying many, many times I dropped the difficulty to "Easy" & managed to kill him the standard way.

This morning, I re-loaded from before I dropped the difficulty, & killed him first time using the "ledge method" in the video.

OK, it's a bit cheeky, but he annoyed me.

It's just... awesome :)

Although some other bits frustrated me, it was generally 'cos I didn't initially notice a ledge or something I could jump to, or 'cos I didn't use cover enough in a firefight, that kind of thing. So although I died, or briefly got stuck, it tended to be my own fault & I did it eventually.

e.g. the merc captain on the train... I unloaded clip after clip into him, & it did nothing, then I got into a melee fight with him & kept dying. He *really* annoyed me... but then I realised I was messing up the Triangle prompt in the melee. Once I hit that correctly, I then had a Square prompt, & then took him out, easy.

Or... The "Yeti" Guardians... irritated me loads 'till I realised you didn't need to fight them, just run around & avoid them.

The later natives weren't too bad, as you just run & gun one, then steal his crossbow for easy kills on the other.


So many awesome shootouts, so many cool set-piece action sections, such stunning scenery & everything... Masterpiece :)

Didn't realise there was going to be DLC. Cool :)

I also played on hard , took me forever to kill the boss , nearly threw my controller through the window at one point i was that frustrated , would have dropped the difficulty if i'd known you could ... doh :) , whats your psn id , might be able to get some multiplayer between a few of us if you fancy it ?? ( cancel that just seen it in your sig!!)

@icestar; yeah that's the way I keep trying to do it. He keeps killing me though.

@Matt; thanks, I'll have to try that method when I next go on it.

---------- Post added at 17:01 ---------- Previous post was at 15:28 ----------

Just completed it on Hard using that method Matt posted a link to. Loved that last cut scene. Now to complete U1 on Crushing and get Platinum before I try and go Platinum on this game.

The problem with the penelties is that some people have trouble staying connected sometimes depending on their ISP connection. I've lost connection to a game 2-3 times on Uncharted 2. Should I be penalised for that ? No, I do overall think its a good idea though to stop people quitting because they are poor losers.

I saw that on DS earlier. I think this should of got Action Game of the Year, too. MW2 isn't worth the disc it's copied onto.

Naughty Dog's sublime PS3 title scooped Game of the Year, Best Writing, Best Technology, Best Visual Arts and Best Audio.

Played through the SP campaign again the other day. Still enjoyable for the 3rd time. Anyway anyone still enjoying the MP side of things like me there is another Premium Expansion comming next week including 2 news maps and a new game mode. Sweet :)

The new pack adds a brand new co-op game type, two new multiplayer maps, six new skins and eleven new Trophies.

"Siege" mode is an expansion of the "Survival" game type, in which a team of two or three players must defend a territory and survive against an ever-increasingly difficult set of enemies. In addition to the new mode, two new maps will be added for competitive play: "The Highrise" features a series of destroyed and under-construction buildings, based on the Nepal map from the single player campaign. "The Museum" is based on the tutorial level from the story, featuring a number of secret climbing routes to get a better vantage point.

The add-on will be available on April 22nd on the PlayStation Store.

I think its the 3rd. I know there was the first one which was free. Then there was a premium one(Very reasonably priced) which I agree BTW was Awesome so this should be the third. Feel free to correct me if am wrong.
