Uncharted 2: Among Thieves can't get here soon enough. Sure, the PlayStation 3 has a pretty good year ahead of itself with Infamous, Fat Princess, and a whole lot more, but everyone wants to know what's happening with Nathan Drake. Sadly, there's still a lot of time between people and the fall release date.
It was with that in mind that IGN tracked down Richard Lemarchand, Naughty Dog co-lead designer on Uncharted 2, and put a few more burning questions into his ear.
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,
Chris, Joseph, and Josh celebrate Active Quest’s 100th episode by discussing their favorite games of all time.
This is one of my most anticipated games. I really think it's going to be phenomenal.

Outstanding!
I think i need a warm Rag over my forhead after reading all that.. My word this game is gonna be amazing. the part about the Ice and snow gave me shivers. and the combat variations presented by live snow falls and force 10 snow storms. Just think traversing up a mountan sie and mercenaries spots you from across a near by canyon and shoots an RPG just aboves you and triggers an avalanche and now you must immediately act fast to survive the tremoring deluge of snow and rock. or, slipping while walking on ice and even crossing over frozen lakes inside snow caverns while gun shots threaten to break and shatter the solid ice you scamper across before it breaks and sends you under in subzero temperature waters... My goodness, The set pieces and unexpected scenario's from this game is going to bring an unpresidented and unparrelled scope of awe to this genre like no other...
my word i've never been this hyped about a game likethis since the first time i saw MGS2 and the infamous KZ2 trailer that lit the internet ablaze... the N.D.G.E 2.0 !!!! (Naughty Dog Game Engine 2.0!) the next best engine for game development. This is already on KZ2's level... by the end of this dev cycle it'll be like watching movie... I freakin cant wait.
Bring this ND bring it, i cant wait to gaze at this awesome game, advancement and innovation at every turn...
and it looks like there maybe some sort of multiplayer to it too with what he said at the end.
Look at this screen http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/o...
http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/o... <--- the textures on his clothes... OMG!!!!! I Need a wet rag over my forhead again X_X!
I love me an action/adventure game, looking forward to Uncharted 2 more than anything else coming out this year.
Uncharted 2 will rule all
