This is probably the only game that I'm actually excited about. I LOVED the first game, and I have high hopes for this one as well. Fall of 2009 can't get here fast enough!

Re: Uncharted 2 confirmed!

I'm down like a clown charlie brown. I've beaten Uncharted from head to toe.

Re: Uncharted 2 confirmed!

Cool. Did you beat it on Easy, Normal, Hard, and Crushing like I did?

Re: Uncharted 2 confirmed!

Every trophy, every bit of treasure, all medals and rewards, all difficulties beaten, charlie brown.

Re: Uncharted 2 confirmed!

Now that's what I'm talking about! I haven't found every treasure yet, but I hope to eventually.

Re: Uncharted 2 confirmed!

Coming from someone who's beaten every iteration of Ghosts n Goblins, you guys are pretty hardcore to have beaten this game on HARD. I was frustrated on Normal and simply cannot imagine the game on crushing.

I'm looking forward to it. I was expecting Jak IV but Nate is on of my favorite characters of this generation so anything else with him in it is A-Ok with me as long as they don't pull a Warrior Within and make him super dark n edgy (or should I say Jak 2). Nate could use a little mustache or something. For an adventurer he sure does like a clean shave.

I cannot wait for this game.

Re: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Today I got the mail out of our mailbox, and what do you know? Game Informer has arrived! Cool, not lets see what's on the front cover...Uncharted 2. Wait, Uncharted 2!? Holy crap, it's Uncharted 2!!! Seriously, I did NOT expect to hear about this game sometime next summer, but here it is in the January issue of Game Informer!

Here is the lowdown on the game: it is going to be freakin' amazing! 'Nuff said. What's that? Not enough information? Well, I guess I could go into it for you guys, but only because some of you are "special".

Over 700 years ago, young Venetian explorer Marco Polo joined his family as they set out to journey among the wonders of China.... After more than a dozen years in the exotic court of Kublai Khan, Marco Polo prepared to return home with a vast fortune of jewels and gold. He departed the far eastern lands with hundreds of passengers aboard 14 sailing vessels. Two years later, he arrived home in Italy with one ship.

Naughty dog's newest adventure entrenches its hero more firmly n the seedy criminal underworld hinted at in game one. A decidedly capable, world-wise, and attractive partner joins him (Chloe Fraer) as he sets out to solve the long dormant question of Marco Polo's lost fleet. A ruthless paramilitary leader has the same goal in mind. Along the way, Nathan Drake will learn that the 13 missing ships are only the beginning of the enigma Marco Polo left behind centuries earlier.

Sounds like the makings of a good story to me! Let's continue.

"We're pushing the PS3 to the max. We got about 30 percent of the power out of the [synergistic processing units] on the first game," explains Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells. "We think we're going to be really close to maxing it out this time around. So, potentially for the first time, you're going to see the Cell pushed to its limit."

The screens and levels we saw appear remarkably shaper and more detailed, mostly thanks to the improved lighting, shadows, and occlusion technology apparent throughout the game.

The above just scratches the surface of what they talk about (including the talk about the tech). The environments definitely look like they hold much more intricate detail than before. They even improved the gameplay, and this time allowing for stealth-like play. From what it looks like, Naughty Dog took almost everything from the first game, and improved upon it in almost every way. Definitely check out issue 189 of Game Informer for the full story when it hits newsstands.

I thought this was a great interview. This also has some great screens, much better than I've seen elsewhere.

A $20 million dollor budget should ensure a very high-quality gaming experience. Here's hoping the game will have some kind of multiplayer!

Re: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

don't care about multiplayer

here's hoping the game is longer than the first with more stuff to do than jump and shoot!

Re: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

I'm really looking forward to this game.

It's the most cinematic, "Hollywood-esque" vidya out there, and it's totally a good thing.

Re: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

I'll have to play Uncharted first. I've heard good things about it so I have no clue as to why I haven't touched it yet.

Re: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The first wave of reviews for Uncharted 2 are in.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/plat...d2amongthieves

A total average score of 97 is fantastic! Let's just hope it at least holds at 95 once all the reviews come in.

Only a week and a half away....

Re: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The multiplayer is incredibly addictive.
