New Uncharted 3 concept art introduces jungle setting

SystemLink: "What you're seeing below is new hi-res Uncharted 3 concept art; the same that was recently seen in the latest issue of the Official Playstation Magazine. Despite the predominantly desert setting, it seems Drake will be getting out of the sun for a quick jaunt in the tried and tested temple-in-the-jungle setting."

Good to see that Drake is still going to be trotting the globe.

[rabidpancakeburglar]

would you really expect anything else?

[Solid_Malone]

trotting the galaxy? :P

[rabidpancakeburglar]

M4I0N3
lol maybe in the next one

[Solid_Malone]

hahah, yeah true, can't rule out everything :P

[Antholex]

I hope Drake doesn't go down the Indiana Jones route and start delving into crystal skulls and aliens. That would be just a bit too much I think.

[nveenio]

How do we know that this is not "beneath" the desert? We know he's looking for the Atlantis of the Sands, so it's probably in some magical place, right? I'm not saying this is underground, I'm just saying that it may be closer to the desert than we think.

[-Superman-]

I hope its still 80% in Desert, 10% jungle and 10% in city

[Fishy Fingers]

They've been clear that the majority would be set in the Desert, but like the previous games, expect some variety on the locations.

[MaxXAttaxX]

My guess is 60%, 20%, 20%

[The_Devil_Hunter]

I dont know why but Ive always like the idea of Nate in the city, especially if it had a level in which he infiltrates a museum in a city like New York, Madrid, or Paris then escapes with Sully through the streets. But I Love the fact that they try to keep it traditional with at least some jungle areas.

[karl]

im just saying but that sounds really good for a totally new uncharted..

not only just like a few lvls.. maybe next one xD

[MidnytRain]

@karl

Well, then it wouldn't really be "uncharted".

[HardCover]

Why not MidnytRain?

Might not be uncharted LANDS, but uncharted ROUTES. Routes to treasure, that is.

[MidnytRain]

An "uncharted route" is a bit of an oxymoron. Routes have a conscious purpose to get people from one place to another, so they need to be mapped out in some way. One can't make a route without knowing where it's going or how to get there. So a modern, well-established, fully functional city would not be an uncharted region.

[R834]

Sounds like a great idea - would mix up the gameplay a bit.

It could be like the city level where you go to the Shangri La hotel in Uncharted 2, just less war-torn.

[MidnytRain]

@R834

The enviornments would be less interesting if the cities weren't war torn. Uncharted 2 was praised because of its attention to detail in the world around the player. The amount of debris and destruction in the Nepal section of the campaign was impressive.

[Burning_Finger]

Looks epic as always.

[yume-k]

A guy who like to wear the same clothes "probably never bath" standing in the middle of a jungle...

What is so epic about that?

[mac_sparrow]

Maybe it's the amount of vitriol it stirs up in people such as yourself?

Fun? Spectacle? Excitement? There's Uncharted, for everything else there's yume-k.

[HardCover]

How about what he's done in those same clothes and what he's done in previous jungles? Gotta play the first two to understand this stuff, kiddo.

[Killzone3___]

same cloths ?.. that's the reason you fanboys say it's overrated ?.

[R834]

Maybe he just has a huge stock of identical clothes...

Besides, both Uncharteds are great games. If you'd played them, you'd know.

[GodofwarGoty]

Uncharted 3 will be the Game of the year and could so be the best PS3 exclusive to come out we will have to wait and see ?

[perfectCarbonara]

Uncharted 3, Infamous 2 and Mass Effect 3, sitting in one box. Pretty insane dude.

[GodofwarGoty]

i agree bro but Uncharted 3 will win game of the year i am looking forward to infamous 2 but i am sure it will not be game of the year mass effect 3 might win game of the year xbox for that system but overall uncharted 3 is 100 percent game of the year material its made by naughty dog one of the best developers the and uncharted 2 win game of the year overall 2009

[Acquiescence]

I said months ago that there should be a couple of gameplay segments in a bustling metropolis setting. I know urban areas have been done before, but they were always devoid of civilians. It would be great, for instance, if Drake scaled some buildings while there were hundreds of people below him going about their daily business. Or a really hectic chase scene amid crowds of people.

I've always loved the Uncharted games, but I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I'm far from stoked about hearing that the majority of the game is set in the desert. I'm sure that there's more to the game though, and that ND have some serious tricks up their sleeve.

[pr0digyZA]

I think you will eat your words when you see what they pull off, If it is anything like uncharted 2 (which they know they have to top) then it will be one huge spectacle. I can already picture scenes where building crumble under sand storms etc...

[ps3bestever]

looks so epic location

[_Empath_]

Chloe batter be in this. YOU HEAR ME NAUGHTY DOG DON"T F WITH EMPATH.

[Shani]

Wow... temple in jungle is awesome. Bring on more good news.

[Convas]

Variety is the spice of life. Any game that has you visiting a variety of locales is always more fun that being in the same place during the entire game.

That being said, globe-trotting is what Uncharted DOES. It'd be silly not to expect them to continue that tradition, even if 60% of the game is set in the desert.

[Quagmire]

Nice throwback to Drake's Fortune. Personally, I prefer the Jungle Setting as my favourite, althrough the Ice Caves and Villages in AT were absolutely astounding, and I can tell the Desert is gonna look beautiful too.

[Relientk77]

I hope its like Uncharted 2 in terms of variety, there was a great number of different environments
