Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Naughty Dog swap jungles for ice, but keep our dashing hero.Published 02/12/2008 at 8:08 by nofi

We’ve known it was coming for a while, but (presumably) in order to shift a few copies of a print magazine, Game Informer has the official exclusive on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The magazine (which is a US one) features 10 pages of world-exclusive details, apparently, and says that “Nathan Drake returns with a whole new adventure which revolves around the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages”.
Naturally, this is exclusive to PS3 too, and the title will add a “free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay”. Look out for all-new locations (as you can see from the teaser), new characters and a focus on the game’s story. The magazine also has a scoop on Guitar Hero: Metallica if that’s your thing. Here’s the teaser:
We’ll get all the info as soon as we can, but as fredrikpedersen says in our comments below, Nathan’s clearly looking for the Phurba, a three-sided peg, stake or nail like ritual implement traditionally associated with Tibetan Buddhism or Bön, routing the teaser at least to somewhere like Nepal. Interesting stuff.

Check this out (see below). It might look like it will be set somewhere along the Himalayas, maybe in Tibet, China or India.

This has got to be THE game to look forward to next year. I loved the original and played it to death, even came back for a while with trophies. Lets hope the new one is slightly longer than the original.

With all this snow I bet they can get away with a snowboarding/jet skiing multiplayer mode

Cool! I exchanged the last one before the trophy patch came out, that was probably my best (only) chance at a decent level of trophy collecting! It was one of the PS3 highlights so far.

WOW! Gotta love it, that is for sure.
Been playing the original lately again for the trophies, still one of the best games out there imo.
Looking forward to the sequal

I’m planning on not getting caught up in the hype machine on this one. I’m going to ignore all media about this until the game comes out lol
I wonder if Elena is going to be in it.

I don’t think she will be. I think there will be a new lady for this Drake adventure.

She better be in there!
They wouldn’t put all that character development to waste.
Plus, there was that almost kiss that they had!

My only concern is ’stealth gameplay’ which is rarely well implemented in games.
I’ll be getting it no matter what though, the first rewwarded me my first platinum trophy

I think the option to sneak will fit perfectly to the Uncharted gameplay. In fact I missed it at points of the first one (don’t get me wrong, I really love this game!!)
