Naughty Dog: DLC news inaccurate but official announcements soon

PSUni: Sony Computer Entertainment Japan recently unveiled a Gold Box edition for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and though it was unclear whether such a box would make its way around the world, further news on downloadable content looked more secure.

However, Naughty Dog's Arne Meyer has tweeted that our previous report is inaccurate.

Hope the content is at least close to the rumored content. Would suck not to have all the crossover stuff.

LordMarius5198d ago

I just hope the skins are still free

techie5197d ago

I'd pay good money for them =D Would be cool if they gave them...and you got the first in each one (Nathan etc.) but had to earn the second one (Chimera etc.) with in-game currency

DavePSU5197d ago

Yeah, paying in-game currency I'd be fine with as well. I'm just tired of paying for skins with real world cash (LBP, etc)

Gran Touring5198d ago

well the skins are in the bag, I hope it's just the timing of release for each that's off...

DavePSU5198d ago

that might be true. Hope they still keep the mode.

techie5198d ago

I can see maps...but a new mode? Maybe a team mode...though a new co-op mode is possible (similar to survival or gold rush) but not a co-op story level.

Solidus187-SCMilk5198d ago

but whatever it is im sure there will be new maps and thats what I want the most so ill be happy.

DavePSU5198d ago

Yeah. New maps are definitely needed to help keep the game fresh.

techie5197d ago

I prefer the old maps >_<

Myst5198d ago

Again I hope it's more co-op things. At least so there will be more people playing co-op, felt kind of sad last time when I could barely get just one more person on the team. Either way whatever we get from ND we all know it will be great.

DavePSU5198d ago

I agree -- Kind of odd the title has sold 2 million+ yet it's hard to find a co-op game.

Myst5198d ago

Yeah, though I do wonder sometimes. Perhaps some people have moved onto MW2 or other games for a while, with a few of the others still remaining choosing death match type matches instead of co-op. I mean most people like to play the lone wolf anyway and are probably used to death match more so than co-op.

DavePSU5198d ago

I don't know why people would move over to MW2. It felt like a complete suckfest for the first month I had it. I couldn't stand all of the campers and glitchers. MW2 was definitely overhyped, IMO.

techie5197d ago

Playing co-op matchmaking is too risky. Those levels go on for about 40 minutes...and if one person drops out, you lose all your progress and currency earnt. Best to play with your friends...that's why people don't enter co-op matchmaking (true story).

DavePSU5197d ago

Oh, is that why? I've only ever played with buddies, so I didn't know.

techie5197d ago

Happened far too many times to want to try again. Just play with me clan now.

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1443d ago (Edited 1443d ago )

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.

Abnor_Mal1443d ago

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.

P_Bomb1442d ago (Edited 1442d ago )

@abnor_mal
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.

MadLad1444d ago

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.

Profchaos1443d ago (Edited 1443d ago )

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

Rimeskeem1444d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931443d ago

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.

My favorite is the building collapsing on Uncharted 2.

The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
