You’ll remember the big Uncharted 2 reveal last week, well, it seems the latest issue of GI magazine is now in the hands of subscribers and whilst if you’re able we’d rather you bought the magazine, here are some of the highlights of the exclusive report. The main thing mentioned is that there’s a new girl named Chloe Frazer – there’s a ‘no comment’ regarding the return of Elena and Sully, and the main storyline revolves around the ships Marco Polo lost whilst returning to Italy.
Hand to hand combat is now more ‘dynamic’, there’s more stealth sections, the SixAxis functions have been ditched and there’s new weapons. Uncharted 2 will still not have any load times, weapons can be used in any stance and you can now move whilst aiming behind cover. Excitingly, apparently Uncharted 1 only used 30% of the PS3’s power, whilst the sequel will use nearly 100%. “In Uncharted 2, every character fully interacts with the dynamic geometry moving around them, and environments in the background are real parts of the game world.”
Naturally, the magazine says the graphics look better than Uncharted 1. More as we get it.

I brought the first game and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I found the ‘Crushing’ mode quite easy. Will defo buy Uncharted 2, as long as Elena is in it

Something I liked about Uncharted was that Elena wasn’t given page 3 girl assets for the purpose of selling it to 14 year olds. If she ain’t in it I just hope they keep to this and let the game sell itself again on being a great game!

I agree with this totally, she was rather understated but has a chrm all of her own, which made the story much more believable and immersive.
Uncharted 2 is a must but, cant wait for it

I finished the first one again the other night. It’s still an awesome game and it still looks fantastic.
If what people are saying about Killzone 2 and the fact that it only uses 60% of the PS3s power is true, then this should look the bomb.

‘No comment’ about Elena and Sully leads me to believe they will have a large role in this game… hopefully!

They have to be in it. I loved Sully, he was a great character for the story.

@ tanner9 “Although I found the ‘Crushing’ mode quite easy” – git!
I also add that I want Elena back. Uncharted is really one of the best games out on the PS3 – everyone who has a PS3 really should give it a go.
Uncharted 2 willlikely be one of my highlights for 2009

@ Pixel1983 “Yeah, defiantly a must but!”
Really, who’s butt are you talking about? If it’s Elena’s then I agree… Nate, not so much…

I think that the no comment on Elena and Sully means we will get a James Bond intro where they get killed in the first five minutes for some reason that will lead Nate on to his next adventure. And his next sexual conquest! Mon’the Drake!

i heard its called ‘uncharted 2′ and not ‘drakes fortunes’ cos Elena is going to be the main character this time round and she has to save drake as he’s been captured on some treasure hunt of some kind

Awww i quite liked the sixaxis controls on the 1st one , it added a bit more ‘realism’ to the proceedings

It was horrible for throwing grenades, IMO anyway. I hated it.

I thought the first was pretty incredible.
It sounds like they are fixing the only issue I had with it, which was that not everything on screen was interactive. In particular, his necklace used to make me crazy because in some scenes it would swing naturally but in others it seemed glued to his shirt.

Recently got platinum on first one purely coz i couldnt put it down, loved it massivly and would hope the next one has more levels, I dont care how they do this one as long as it is as good or better than the 1st. I trust they will provide another “movie” like storyline with hints of humour and trust thatthey will not ruin this for us.
No estimated release date yet then??????

Loved the first one it was fresh for me since I’d never really played Tomb Raider or other games similar to it before. I just hope they don’t ruin it by kicking Elena and Sully out. It just wouldn’t feel complete with out them, kind of like Joey from Friends they had that spin off at it was utter crap. Plus Naughty Dog better not make a really bad job of the story, it was the most compelling part of the first game and I loved the far fetched parts at the end with the Nazi U-Boat Bunker. So basically they better not screw this up.
