Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception coming in 2011

Great, as if we're not already jealous of Entertainment Weekly for the easy access to the hunkiest actors and sexiest starlets of today and tomorrow, now we have to hate them because they've seen Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. The game, due in 2011, will feature Drake and partner Sully on a hunt for a lost city, a journey that leads them to the Arabian Peninsula and Rub' al Khali Desert. (Note the sandy "Exhibit A" above.) The story not only lifts from the life of Sir Francis Drake but also British Army officer and archeologist T.E. Lawrence (yes, as in "of Arabia").

EW's preview later reveals a few new gameplay tweaks, most notably the ability to fight several enemies at once, and an expanded multiplayer offering. They've even got the teaseriest of teaser trailers, the practical upshot of which is that we'll have to wait until Saturday's VGAs to get a good look at the thing.

will post the video once it's available

Naughty Dog has revealed a little more (or a lot more, depending on your television) about Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception -- specifically the fact that the game will support stereoscopic 3D. Yes, we know what that means: Sully's mustache will never have looked more real.

In related news (related to Uncharted 3, not Victor Sullivan's facial hair), Late Night host Jimmy Fallon has taken to Twitter with word that the game's developer will be his guests on Monday, December 13. The Naughty Dog crew will deliver the first live gameplay demo of its latest PS3-exclusive adventure -- in mind-blowing 2D

geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Lara Emily]

Sick Uncharted 1 and 2 compete daily on my head for my favorite games along with Mass Effect 1 and 2.

[G]

Release date and final box art, or just a place holder (http://www.amazon.com/Uncharted-3-Playstation/dp/B004EQCCI4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1291814498&sr=1-1)

[Fignuts]

That is much too long of a wait.

[XCaliber]

HELL YEAH!

[Tommy Gunn]

AWESOME, been playing Uncharted 2 online all this week because of the 8 x cash day!

[OssMan]

Might play the first one

[RoXer]

I think you should. Even though it's not an RPG I still think you'll enjoy this

[XCaliber]

Come to think of it I hope they re-release Drake's Fortune as I have only had the opportunity to play the demo and from what I could tell the original seemed to be more difficult.

[OssMan]

I like games that aren't RPGs

[RoXer]

I know but it seems like you tend to gravitate to RPGs or games that aren't mainsteam.

[RoXer]

I know but it seems lie you tend to gravitate to RPGs or games that aren't mainsteam.

Kalyx-like post

[OssMan]

Noh I like a lot of games with trains in them. Like at the beginning of Final Fantasy 7. Actually like every Final Fantasy, remember the ghost train in final fantasy 6 :drool: and there's one in mother 3

Platinum Bear has like 8 days played in MW2 or something

Noh I like a lot of games with trains in them. Like at the beginning of Final Fantasy 7. Actually like every Final Fantasy, remember the ghost train in final fantasy 6 :drool: and there's one in mother 3

The amazing train scene is in Uncharted 2. Really long level. Probably the 3rd best level in the game.

[G]

The stealth like one in the snow with the trains was pretty good

[Requiem]

The moving train level was epic. Seriously, when it opened up and you could see this endless train across the scenery... was a "Holy shit....." moment.

[Fignuts]

EVERY level in that game was amazing.

Favorite part was probably when the building fell.

[D Mac]

Never played any of them.

[Requiem]

EVERY level in that game was amazing.

Favorite part was probably when the building fell.

Yeah, first part in a video game to ever make me jump out of my seat laughing at how awesome it was.

[RoXer]

Don't ruin it for him.


Just go play it, Assman

[Triple Naitch]

Gonna start playing the Uncharted series over Christmas break.

[Tommy Gunn]

I don't think I'll ever get bored of Uncharted 2. I usually play it online religiously for a few weeks then put it down to play something else for a month or two, then get back to it and it feels fresher than ever.

Last week, Naughty Dog (http://www.naughtydog.com/) and SCEA held a packed-to-the-rafters press event at the PlayStation.Blog lounge at GDC 2011 (http://www.gdconf.com/) focusing on UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception (http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-ps3.html). The anticipation from the invited press was palpable as they all filtered into the PlayStation.Blog Lounge – afterwards, word on the street was that we delivered.

Evan Wells (http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/ewells/), Christophe Balestra (http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/cbalestra/), Richard Lemarchand and yours truly were to give the demo and speak with the press – the embargo just lifted this morning, so be sure to visit your favorite gaming media outlet for their take on the event and the reveals.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5172/5507434680_509dd3e6ed.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5507434680/)

We kicked off the press event with the first-ever demo outside of Naughty Dog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/naughty-dog/) halls of UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception (http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/uncharted-3-drakes-deception/) in stereoscopic 3D. We chose to present a portion of the burning chateau (http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/709277/uncharted-3-burning-chateau-gameplay-will-set-your-eyes-on-fire-in-a--good-way.html) sequence we premiered (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/burning-chateau-uncharted-3/708553) in late December (http://kotaku.com/#%215719463/new-uncharted-3-gameplay-videos-are-on-fire). Since most people would already be familiar with the way the sequence looked and played, we thought it would make all the more evident the stellar work the Naughty Dog team has put into making the 3D presentation part of the core Naughty Dog Engine.

In my opinion, with this small snippet of gameplay we’ve proven that we’re able to perfectly retain all of the spectacular visuals and effects that you’ve come to expect from an UNCHARTED (http://www.unchartedthegame.com/) game into the 3D presentation. Playing in 3D gives you some added benefits to gameplay as well, such as improved aiming around corners and an excellent read on depth for all traversal sequences, no matter how tricky. Unfortunately, until you get to see UNCHARTED 3 running in 3D at an event or in your home this November (http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-ps3.html?retailerOverlay=ci), you’ll have to rely on impressions from our attending media for how good it looked and played.

The real meat of the press event was the unveiling of the central antagonist that will try to foil Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan at every opportunity – meet Katherine Marlowe in the video above.

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5298/5506834911_5a74dabe1d.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5506834911/)

Marlowe is definitely not one you want to get in the way of, or worse, double cross! To give you some background, Katherine Marlowe is the coldly calculating leader of a secret society whose roots date back over four hundred years to the court of Queen Elizabeth I. She has a long-standing rivalry with Nathan Drake over Sir Francis Drake’s ring – something they both contend is rightfully theirs and is also the key to an ancient mystery.

As you can tell from the cutscene above, Marlowe is a much more cerebral enemy than Drake has confronted in the past, using both psychological and physical tactics to get what she is after. Marlowe also has the assistance of her team of highly trained agents in this secret society – they are far more elusive and dangerous than the hired guns Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan have faced in the past.

Additionally, we’ve uploaded a set of stills from the cutscene, a high-resolution render of Katherine Marlowe and concept art of the agents and thugs Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan will face in UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception.

We hope you’ve all enjoyed meeting Katherine Marlowe in our GDC 2011 (http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gdc11/) reveal. Stay tuned as we still have a ton of information we want to reveal – with little to no spoilers! – over the next eight months leading up to UNCHARTED 3’s PS3 release on 11-1-11 (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/12/11/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-full-trailer-and-spike-vga-recap/).

[Miotch]

Do I need to play Uncharted before I play Uncharted 2? I am going to borrow the 2nd one and don't want to really play the inferior first one.

[G]

Yes, unless you are Kalyx. And I wouldn't exactly call it inferior.

[Fignuts]

Dunno, it's not as important as playing mass effect in order, but there are a couple things you will appreciate more if you play the first one.

Also, the first uncharted is still a phenomenal game.

Uncharted 3 & Uncharted 2 Comparison; Shows PS3′s Sheer Power


Posted on March 07th, 2011 in Developer (http://vghq.net/category/developer/), Images (http://vghq.net/category/images/), PS3 (http://vghq.net/category/ps3/) by Luis (http://vghq.net/author/pixel/)

The graphical leap Uncharted 3 will take from its predecessor was evident ever since the game’s unveiling. Now, VGHQ compare both Uncharted 2 and 3 and by doing so showcase the PS3′s astonishing power.

The ps3s astonishing power? It has nothing to do with Naughty Dog being an incredible developer and pushing their engine at all.

This is going to be so epic. I can not wait til this comes out.

Uncharted 3 beta begins July 5, early access for InFamous 2 buyers and Plus subscribers (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/18/uncharted-3-beta-begins-july-5-early-access-for-infamous-2-buye/)

You won't have to wait until November 1 to try out Uncharted 3's impressive multiplayer experience. Naughty Dog is putting the mode through an open beta test that director Justin Richmond says should "teach us a lot." Early access to the multiplayer beta will be granted on June 28 for PlayStation Plus (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/playstation-plus) subscribers and for those who have purchased inFamous 2 (http://joystiq.com/game/infamous-2) (recalling a similar promotion (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/24/infamous-pre-order-box-reveals-uncharted-2-multiplayer-beta/) tied to the first inFamous). The beta will launch for all PSN members on July 5.

Uncharted 2's multiplayer beta attracted (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/11/130-000-people-played-uncharted-2-beta-and-other-naughty-dog-s/) more than 130,000 participants and saw an awesome prize (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/10/play-uncharted-2-beta-win-uncharted-2-fortune-hunter-edition/) gifted to a few lucky players, so expectations are high for the new beta. After the break, check out a thumping trailer for the new multiplayer features, including the deeper character customization -- and get a look at that spectacular Airstrip map! Mark your calendars: The real fireworks begin on July 5.

Uncharted 3 features Uncharted TV, heavy Facebook and YouTube integration (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/18/uncharted-3-features-uncharted-tv-heavy-facebook-and-youtube-in/)

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/04/uncharted3facebookintegration.jpg (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/18/uncharted-3-features-uncharted-tv-heavy-facebook-and-youtube-in/)
Developer Naughty Dog has announced that Uncharted 3 (http://joystiq.com/game/uncharted-3) will feature heavy integration with social networks Facebook and YouTube, and include a new video service called Uncharted TV.

The previous game in the series offered Twitter integration (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/17/uncharted-2-will-tweet-trophies-and-multiplayer-statistics/) (with varying success), but Uncharted 3 is going all-in on the social networking gamble, allowing players to share achievements and actions on Facebook directly from the game, and even message and play with Facebook friends who aren't connected on the PlayStation Network. The multiplayer menu has a Facebook-specific feed attached as well, so players can browse those updates right alongside the game's new customization features.

The game also integrates with YouTube. Courtesy of a revamped Cinema mode (that allows players to rewind previous games and even mark out clips and major game events), video can be posted on YouTube from inside the game, and Naughty Dog will run a service called Uncharted TV to post "plays of the week" and other announcements through the video sharing service. The whole setup was surprisingly full-featured -- players will get a look at just how it all works when the game goes into open beta on July 5.

Uncharted 3 multiplayer preview: Some shirts look good in pink (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/18/uncharted-3-multiplayer-preview/)

Game director Justin Richmond said he wants Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (http://joystiq.com/game/uncharted-3-drakes-deception) to be the premier multiplayer experience on the PS3, a game that makes players "leave that disc in their system because they want to play so much."

We won't know whether or not that will happen until players actually get their hands on the disc this fall, but judging by the feature list revealed this week at a Sony event in Los Angeles' Chinatown, Naughty Dog might just pull that off. The actual gameplay hasn't changed all that much -- the multiplayer still relies on the single-player campaign's shooting and cover mechanics. Outside of the game modes, however, the metagame is just plain incredible.

Holy crap, might finally be time to upgrade to PS+, or start playing the Infamous games.

That looks like Drake meets fuckin' Flight of the Phoenix or something

Or wait a week

Or wait a week

Or in D Mac's case, 2 days

Multi beta is up for Plus users, which should be everybody.

[G]

You already read a mess of information (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/30/heres-what-youll-be-doing-in-the-uncharted-3-beta/) about Uncharted 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/uncharted-3-drakes-deception)'s upcoming multiplayer beta back before E3, but now developer Naughty Dog wants to show it off in a slurry of walkthrough videos (which we've dropped after the break). The studio also revealed a variety of details about the beta, breaking down which gametypes and maps will be paired across the beta's three weeks -- it'll take up approximately 1.7GB of your precious HDD space.

Additionally, ND says that the beta will allow for stereoscopic 3D, as well as split-screen co-op (though not both simultaneously, of course). As the beta goes live tomorrow for PlayStation Plus subscribers (that's still most of us (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/01/psn-outage-plus-qriocity-free/)!) and inFamous 2 owners, you may be wondering when you'll be murdering Drake with ... uh ... other Drakes -- unfortunately, the studio isn't sure just yet, but suggests keeping an eye on the official Naughty Dog Twitter account (http://twitter.com/#%21/naughty_dog) for up-to-the-minute info. Studio head Evan Wells also notes on his Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/#%21/evan_wells/status/85377819537981440) that the beta "should be on PSN around 2PM PDT tomorrow." He additionally points out that "Naughty Dog doesn't control this," making 2PM PDT somewhat tentative.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Downloading it now.

[XCaliber]

Recently was able to pick up the Greatest Hits version Drake's Fortune and I enjoy it a lot almost as much as Amongst Thieves hopefully the new one lives up to the greatness that is Uncharted btw this should be on the movie's soundtrack:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Played a few rounds of the multiplayer. It's really fun. I'm surprised how much has been upgraded from two. Weapons seem totally different firing wise thus far, the environments are more interactive (zip lines, mounted guns, etc.)

The beginning of the airstrip board has people on cars and planes, and it uses the motion dynamics, which is fucking bad ass, and you can leap from the car and get into the cargo plane, and vice versa. Pretty slick.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Oh, and there's also now a free for all mode (everyone vs everyone), and a three team deathmatch as well. Plus a mode where all boosters and crap are removed.

[Requiem]

Loved the multiplayer in Uncharted 2. Wish I had bought the game instead of just renting it. Can't wait for 3.

[LoDownM]

Anyone else getting their ps3 reset when they try to quit the beta? I'm talking about just quitting to go look at the store or play something else.

[mhirn3]

Loving the beta multiplayer online for uc3

[Fignuts]

Hearing all kinds of rave reviews of the beta.

[Requiem]

Downloaded the beta earlier. Fun stuff.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Had an amazing game in the beta last night, and I found out what happens if you end up in a tied sudden death.

If you tie in sudden death, you start fresh, you can see where everyone's name (where there character is on the screen, even through walls), and it's elimination, one death per character, last team standing wins.

Awesome.

[G]

so excited for this

[Tommy Gunn]

I can't wait to get this.

Who else thinks the Uncharted prequel will find it's way onto PS3 about a year after the Vita release? I can't be arsed with handheld games, I waste enough of my life in front of the TV without having a mobile platform, dear lord...

[What Would Kevin Do?]

To anyone who loves the multiplayer, if you go to Subway right now, and get a large drink, you get access to the full multiplayer mode right now, a month early.

Also, apparently your stats in the pre-release will carry over when the full game comes out.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sony confirms the game will have an Online Pass and also confirmed from now on, every Sony game will have the pass system as they officially join as full-time members of the new system.

They didn't announce the price but if Resistance 3 is an indicator, then $10.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/uncharted-3-come-online-pass

[Emperor Smeat]

Just like Mortal Kombat and others, Uncharted 3 will have a "season" pass called "Fortune Hunters' Club."

The pass costs $25 but allows a saving of around 45% or $20 if all the DLC is bought. 7 DLC packs would be given away as "free" along with a premium theme.

Also revealed was none of the DLC packs will be single player as Naughty Dog has no intentions of making single player or expansion-like packs and instead all DLC will be related to multiplayer.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/uncharted-3-fortune-hunters-club-savings


Naughty Dog also mentioned that had Sony not offered the Online Pass for Uncharted 3, they could have made the multiplayer its own separate game.

[D Mac]

Holy shit. This game got a perfect 10 from IGN.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

All I've seen in reviews so far is that the pacing and characters in the game have been improved from UC2, which is great if the gameplay of UC2 hooked you, but they haven't really advanced that area at all.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Please tell me those bonuses are for single-player.

[G]

My CE came today. Can't believe how big the package is. Got tomorrow off, so I might just "big fat mike" marathon it tonight.

[Requiem]

I get a fucking malware alert every time I visit this thread because something someone posted from some fucking site.

[RoXer]

[RoXer]

[RoXer]

[RoXer]

[Requiem]

[Requiem]

There we go. Good stuff.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Brb, Googling malware HTML code.

[G]

this turned out well

[XCaliber]

Gonna have to put this game on hold until at least Christmas as I want to finish Deus Ex Human Revolution and will be playing WWE 12 a ton before then been too many great titles released in such a short period yowzers!

[G]

i can understand playing a wrestling game before playing this

[G]

i don't remember if it was this bad in the other 2, but the aiming and gun play is horrible. i swear it takes way too long to finish a gun fight. can barely hit a target, and when i do it takes like 10 bullets

[Captain of Fun]

What? Go for headshots.

[LoDownM]

Anyone not play the beta and want a code for beta rewards? I don't plan on buying the game so have no use for the code.

[RoXer]

Looks like it's some sort of mechanism.

[G]

.

[Requiem]

Yeah, pretty much fuck you for not putting obvious spoilers in tags. Especially on a game that isn't even out yet just cause you got the leaked version. Fuck, you could have put that entire post in spoilers really.

[G]

Especially on a game that isn't even out yet just cause you got the leaked version..

um

[Requiem]

Oh fuck, it is out. Completely missed this release date.

Still, fuck that guy for spoilers.

[RoXer]

Fuck this shipwreck firefight bullshit. Been on here for like a half hour

[RoXer]

OK. Restarted the game and got past it first try. Enemies would keep spawning. Thought I was doing something wrong.

[G]

i negged his spoiler and he gave me a retaliation neg saying "not cool". since he seems to have deleted his posts, here is one i encourage you to "neg the shit out of".

http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3670008#post3670008

[Tommy Gunn]

I didn't even post story spoilers, just commented on the gameplay. You seemed to get upset because I said the game feels like it ends abruptly on the last chapter. :|

You go ahead and neg rep me if it makes you feel better about yourself, I don't mind.

[Requiem]

He negged me calling me an idiot.

You realize there are spoiler tags right? They are there so that fucks who are going to post details about new games/movies/books/food don't spoil things for people who haven't played yet and want to be surprised. Going to "neg the shit out of" you now as per G's suggestion.

[Tommy Gunn]

Yeah, if I feel unjustly negged I'll hit you back. Fair is fair. I didn't post any story related spoilers, I just commented on the fighting system and the pace of the game. I went ahead and put my original post in spoiler tags, then deleted it to keep everyone happy.

You waste your time neg repping my profile, I have no attachment to it, tomorrow I'll re-register and have a brand new one. :) I'm not gonna comment on this any further, because I like this forum and don't wanna spam it arguing with strangers about shit that doesn't even matter.

[Requiem]

lol

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Just finished it. I definitely enjoyed it overall. You can tell the guys at Naughty Dog love playing with physics for different scenarios, and it really shows.
