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

Sweet.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

omg... never played the first, but uncharted 2 is one of the best games ever. Seriously. Such a fucking achievement of a game. Can't wait for this one.

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

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

That is much too long of a wait.

HELL YEAH!

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

Might play the first one

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

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.

I like games that aren't RPGs

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

Kalyx-like post

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.

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.

EVERY level in that game was amazing.

Favorite part was probably when the building fell.

Never played any of them.

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

Don't ruin it for him.


Just go play it, Assman

Gonna start playing the Uncharted series over Christmas break.

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.

F3E9-33NJ-JGCQ or ANAK-R6N9-5F56 will give you

Last week, Naughty Dog and SCEA held a packed-to-the-rafters press event at the PlayStation.Blog lounge at GDC 2011 focusing on UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception. 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, Christophe Balestra, 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.

We kicked off the press event with the first-ever demo outside of Naughty Dog halls of UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception in stereoscopic 3D. We chose to present a portion of the burning chateau sequence we premiered in late December. 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 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, 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.

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 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.

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.

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.
