Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - hands-on (Preview)

Elena’s back. That’s really all you need to know. The feisty heroine had a love/hate affair with fans of the first game, but Uncharted minus Elena somehow wouldn’t be the same. She’s the undeniable Lois to Drake’s unkempt Clarke. It would be a gloomy world without these two together.

The reason Elena is back on Drake’s case is quite a clever bit of storytelling. ...

PS3Center Hands On - Uncharted 2 multiplayer (News)

16 Jun 2009

Nick @ PS3Center writes:

Naughty Dog looks like it's well on the way to creating a serviceable multiplayer to their blossoming franchise. At the worst, the multiplayer is simply lacking of any characteristics that define the franchise. The multiplayer is text book stuff, and will be adequate enough to please fans of the franchise. There is no doubt, however, that multiplayer, at least at this point, is definitely the desert. The single player campaign will remain the meat and potatoes of this package, and as far as Nick is concerned, that's exactly how it should be.

Interested in playing the beta for yourself? Just post a comment below! Comments must have some sort of meat to them and must be related to the game to be eligible(so no 'first' comments or anything). PS3Center will be giving them out on a first come, first serve basis, so get in while supplies last!

"I was so impressed with the visual quality of Uncharted 2 we began discussing the game engine, which is called Naught Dog 2.0 by the way. I was curious as to whether or not Sony had urged them to share the engine about the other Sony affiliated studios. It turns out that the engine is all Naughty Dogs, but that there is another secret developer within the Sony family that feeds off all the advancements from internal and second-party studios to chip away on a base set of tools that are utilised across all games. These are constantly refined to maximise the strengths of the PS3."

inFamous Shocks Us With Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta (News)

24 Apr 2009

The switch on Sony's "electrifying announcement" may have just been flipped, as a Best Buy pre-order box for inFamous reveals the existence of a multiplayer beta test for Uncharted 2.

Yesterday Sony began teasing "an electrifying announcement" to take place on April 27th regarding both Sucker Punch's inFamous and Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

They key word here is multiplayer. Announcing that the sequel to one of the best single-player games on the PlayStation 3 is adding a multiplayer component certainly qualifies as electrifying. I'm certain we'll hear much more on this come April 27th.
