Breaking technological barriers in console visuals, animation, and voice-acting has all been part of Naughty Dog’s monumental PlayStation 3 exclusive franchise Uncharted since Drake’s Fortune. After a half decades work, the developers at Naughty Dog continue to astonish gamers with Uncharted’s lush detailed environments, realistic animations, and cinematic stories following charming characters.
Equipped with an evolved version of the Naughty Dog Engine, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is no exception. According to the developers, the new engine enhancements have allowed for stereoscopic 3D, improved level destruction, and speed optimization for SPU usage. Even multiplayer will find new improvements to gameplay modes and small touches of detail added to online maps.
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,
November 19 marks 15 years since the release of the Uncharted game that started it all.
I hope they don’t make another until the end of the ps5 lifecycle…. Show us a better jungle
Uncharted 3 looks absolutely stunning. Uncharted 1 and 2 still look really good :)
The Uncharted series is the best looking console games this gen. You can tell that Drake and sully has aged. I would what the time frame is in this one.
Elena U1 > Elena U2 > Elena U3
the characters look and design in the first game were the best imo...

WTF ND?!
Uncharted 3 definitely looks better than Uncharted 2. Elena though looks better in Uncharted 2 it seems, but we have to see until it releases. I hope they will make her look a bit better than Uncharted 2. Everyone else looks better. They did an amazing job on Chloe, she seems more real now, I hope they will do the same to Elena.
Either way you look at it, and either way you choose, its a friggin brilliant game series.... If you aint played any of it, you should..
UC1 still blows my mind... KABAAM !!!
