Kotaku: Uncharted's Nathan Drake never really struck me as the type to sneak around when he's got a gun handy, but his personal style of stealth in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a surprisingly good fit.
Gamescom had Naughty Dog's upcoming shooter available for play on the show floor, given gamers a first taste of what the game's single player campaign will play like.
In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.
I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.
Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.
A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.
Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.
Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.
It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.
Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...
I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
During MCM Comic Con London X EGX, CGM got the chance to be part of a press group interview with the stars of the Uncharted titles, namely the legendary Nolan North, who played protagonist Nathan Drake, Emily Rose, who portrayed Elena Fisher and Richard McGonagle, who took on the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan,
Chris, Joseph, and Josh celebrate Active Quest’s 100th episode by discussing their favorite games of all time.
Brian Crecente: "There's no doubt that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is going to blow past the high bar already set by its predecessor and deliver an experience well worth the wait."
Looks like there is no doubt this will be one of the main gaming highlights for this yr. With PS3 slim and new price i hope sony capitalizes and advertises well to draw gamers in. Sales of the last uncharted simply didn't cut it. Too many people missed out on that quality game and now that the new one is about to blow the high bar away...well I CANT WAIT. Game of the yr 09 here i come
Yep, Sony just needs to advertise and the Slim has a good chance of winning them the holiday season, but it'll be difficult with the recent $50 price drop of the 360.
Anyone?
how is it a surprise?
uncharted 1 had stealth moves that were natural and funny to watch.
honestly, the american media doesnt do a very good job at getting people excited about ps3 exclusive games. i believe all it takes is a few sentences to ruin a otherwise good preview.
Game is pure WIN
