Joystiq: Just what was that puzzling David O'Russell quote, referencing a "family dynamic" in the Uncharted movie, all about, I asked Uncharted 3 game director Justin Richmond at a recent press event. He laughed. "First of all, all that stuff was denied by David O. Russell," Richmond said. "He actually called us up and was like, 'I don't know what these guys are talking about.'" And Mark Wahlberg isn't anywhere near to being confirmed to play Nathan Drake either -- it's just Hollywood scuttlebutt, apparently. Still, I dutifully told Richmond that the Joystiq Biomass had chosen, and Nathan Fillion has our vote. Message received, Richmond responded.
Trion World Network released the first screenshots of their MMO Rift: Planes of Telara.
One of the first reviews of Uncharted 3 : Drake's Deception, by Play3-Live.com.
The comma is giving me a nervous twitch. Decimal point. Decimal point. Decimal point.
Unfortunately there are a couple of 8's out there, that based off every review I've read so far seems out of place, but whatever. It's generally accepted that Uncharted 3 is a 9.5 - 10 game.
While this sequel has many of the same minor issues as its predecessor, as well as one rather unique one, it's also just as big of a thrill ride.
Great to hear they're leaving the single-player alone. Curious to see what they've done with the multi. Either way, this will be purchased at a midnight launch.
I think Naughty Dog is so amazing because they develop their games with integrity. If you read the interview you'll notice at several points Justin Richmond mentions they won't make changes or sacrifices that they feel won't benefit Uncharted specifically. Most notably when asked about co-op in the story Mr. Richmond replied by saying it would not be added because it would ruin the "feel" of the experience. Similarly when asked about move support Richmond replies that they don't want to implement it on top of a game, that they would prefer to build a game for the move from the ground up. This attitude of integrity and notion of self confidence is perfectly summed up in the last two paragraphs.
Cheers, Naughty Dog
Can't wati for this game, day one for me!
Just finished UC2 on crushing. It was so fun. But Lazarevic is bada$$ on crushing. Can't wait for their next game.
