Forbes: Bullish about the PS3, some industry analysts predict that in the U.S., the console will outsell both of its competitors for the first time in the month of September, and the PS3 will continue to lead sales throughout the holiday season.
"Titles like 'Uncharted 2' are rare to come by as it is. And with 'Uncharted 2' being exclusive to the PlayStation 3, you can bet the game will move a significant amount of hardware through the holidays," says Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divnich.

Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces revisits Uncharted 2: Among Thieves to see if this legendary game has stood the test of time.
Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.
Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.
Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.
I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.
I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.
UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.
UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.
You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.
I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.
Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.
Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake
I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.
Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.

This year alone sony has given me
Killzone 2
inFamous
Batman: Arkham Asylum (joker dlc)
Demon's Souls
Uncharted 2
I'd ad Ratchet and Clank but i'm not a fan of the series still that's one hell of an exclusive gaming year..
Have you noticed how sony just uped the ante on every genre. FPS are going to be judged graphically against Killzone 2, TPS are going to be judged against Uncharted 2.
as for RPGs they are going to have to bring something new to the table because Demons Souls just added an inovative twist to online and rpgs.
I'm sure i'm missing more, oh Ratchet and Clank looks awsome too, with its freezing time gameplay puzzles. Yup its been an awsome year for the ps3, alot of people as of lately have theyre mouths full of crow pie.
"Titles like 'Uncharted 2' are rare to come by as it is. And with 'Uncharted 2' being exclusive to the PlayStation 3, you can bet the game will move a significant amount of hardware through the holidays" I really hope so, this game deserve a lot of sales and every people need to know that is an amazing games
