I love Uncharted 2 and here are some ideas to make Uncharted 3 (I hope it comes out on next gen hardware) even better than 2.
1. Open world or at least open world stages/ chapters. The jungle stages are going to be in every Uncharted and I wish there was more jungle in Among Thieves, so make them like a real jungle which isn't limited. I completely understand how having a linear experience helps guide the story, but some chapters need to be set in an open environment.
2. Stealth. The stealth mechanic was decent in U2, so I think it should be expanded upon. I'm not saying I want to play as Snake in full octo camo, but an idea would be to allow us to set up traps.
For example, we should be able to toss a propane tank to one side of the stage which should alert the guards to that side of the stage. Have them surround it, and blow it up, alerting them even more making them begin to search for Drake (if they get too close to the propane tank they should scatter as if they know it's a trap).
Or
When in the jungle we should be able to lure a tiger or something into the enemy camp and maul some of the soldiers. While we sneak in unharmed. The thing is I know this kind of thing will take a lot of coding for the AI which is why I want U3 on next gen hardware.
3. Setting. I think the next Uncharted should be a combination of U2 and Drake's Fortune. I enjoyed the full Jungle setting of Drake's Fortune, but being in the cities and mountains was nice as well (being in the village inhabited by people was a huge surprise, and a nice break from the action until the later events happened which was pure awesomeness). Maybe Africa, or another island?
4. Climbing. The climbing was a huge improvement over Drake's Fortune, but now they need to take it a step further, and become more like InFamous. I need to be able to climb on stuff that looks like I can climb on.
5. Animations. Most of the animations are great in U2, but they need to fix the rolling and jumping animation, they aren't up to par with everything else. Oh and they need to add running to U3. As of now Drake's run is more of a trot. Push R3 to run should be standard in more games.
6. Multiplayer. I love multiplayer, but it has problems.
I like things like the tank bursting in and killing random people, how everything from the single player is in the multiplayer, and the game types.
However, getting hit by someone when you're well out of range sucks, as well as getting shot when you're around the corner. Weapons should spawn in random locations so we don't know where the RPG, Hammer, Pistol, etc... don't spawn. Leaving games, especially co-op games since no one getting any points. And multiplayer maps for each level in the game. Most of this can be fixed with U2, so here's hoping they come up with more for multiplayer in U3.
And that's about it. I have complete faith in Naught Dog with the single player campaign since both games were amazing. And that's what it takes for U3 to be game of the year when it comes out.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
might have been a better title IMHO.
Also, why does Uncharted 3 need to be on the next gen console? There is still plenty ND can do with the code, PS3 is capable of so much more, and the PS4 is a ways off because of that. No need for the next iteration of Playstation for another, much improved upon Uncharted adventure.
Open World? What for? Uncharted is as good as it is by being linear and cinematic. It doesn't need to be GTA. Also, what's the point of setting the game in open environments, so you can backtrack? Developers can arrange for you to be able to go back and forth, you don't need to travel all the levels.
I guess it also needs a first person view to satisfy those FPS fans, and magic of RPG gamers, etc.
Damn talk about a whiner! I wonder what he would whining about with every other game out there now.
Basically I want almost every gameplay element that was present in MGS3 (except for a heavy emphasis on stealth since Uncharted isn't a stealth franchise) to be in Uncharted 3. While MGS3 was somewhat a linear game, at the same time it it had a lot of big, open spaces for exploration, and I'd really like to see that in Uncharted 3. Also, things like Hunting for your own food in the wild, healing your own wounds, and maybe a Stamina system ( just like in MGS3) is something I'd like to see integrated into the game.
I love the Linear Hollywood Action gameplay that Uncharted already has and I don't have a problem with it, but I'd really like to see Naughty Dog really expand upon the next Uncharted game, not only with just bigger set pieces and the same linear gameplay, but MORE depth gameplay wise...if the next Uncharted was done similar to MGS3, the Single Player portion could easily end up being an 20+ hour Adventure... I mean seriously, who wouldn't want that?
One of the major reasons why I'd want these kind of things to implemented in Uncharted 3 is not just because I'm itching to play Uncharted in a less linear way, but because I also DON'T want Uncharted 3 to be dubbed "Uncharted 2.5" by the media if it comes out this gen. and it's pretty much the same as Uncharted 1 and 2.
I could see why you would want Uncharted 3 to come out next gen., but usually Naughty Dog releases a new IP at the beginning of a console generation and continues ONE franchise throughout that particular console generation (PS1 era- Crash Bandicoot, PS2 era- Jak and Daxter), and that's why I think Uncharted 3 will most likely be on the PS3.
too early to talk about u3.. but talking about patches for multiplayer on u2 is not... even though it'll probably be lingering wen MW2 shows up , which is right around the corner............
