Uncharted 2's multiplayer gets a new mode and more maps for an extra price.
Chris, Joseph, and Josh celebrate Active Quest’s 100th episode by discussing their favorite games of all time.
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.
Cultured Vultures: What's your favourite moment from the Uncharted franchise? Here are 15 that got our blood pumping.
The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
Do they employ professionals or just guys off the street?! It's not a major issue but shouldn't everyone know by now that PS3 has "TROPHIES" not "ACHIEVEMENTS"??? This guy keeps saying achievements throughout the whole video LOL. What if someone reviewed an X360 exclusive game and kept talking about all the trophies you could earn...wouldn't that sound stupid and unprofessional? Anyways, i'm done ranting, it's no big deal but c'mon!! LOL
Please Naughty Dog find a way to incorporate all the new maps somehow into adding to the already incredible single player experience.
I am sure they have hours of unused dialogue on the cutting room floor. Perhaps they may even have the odd motion capped cut scene that was not used.
If it was not to the detriment of the narrative or pacing of the single player experience adding these extra maps into perhaps additional chapters would be a welcome addition.
My one tiny wee gripe with Among Thieves was that there was a slight lack of variety in the enemies. It would be great and could be done for less money if in some of the chapters they used the pirate enemies from Drakes Fortune.
If it could be worked into a chapter it would be great to have Drake fighting both mercs and pirates at the same time.
This additional content is a day 1 buy for me. Thankyou Naughty Dog your excellence knows no limits.
