There’s no source quoted for the dates but Siliconera are talking about some upcoming DLC for Drake’s latest adventure. According to the site with the gaming dinoaurs the content will kick off with a free pack launching at the same time as the demo (January 28th). This first pack will contain multiplayer skins of characters from other famous PlayStation brands, Resistance 2, inFamous and Killzone 2.

There will be a further two packs on February 25th and April 15th which will introduce new maps and skins, including some content from the original Uncharted.

Thanks for the tip, haz360!

  1. Excellent news. This will give me a good reason to get back into U2 multiplayer (and to get the game back off my brother!).


  2. This is absolutely genius. 


    • I concur lol


    • Agreed. I’m still playing the Drake 2 multiplayer on and off, but will welcome the chance to run around as Sev or Cole butting some heads! :)

      The demo’s kind of missed the boat though, non?!


  3. I guess my news tip about this was too late?


    • I got it in an email from Gamoc, er… tipped by haz360 (who I will now add to the post)
      Sorry.


      • (re)Tweeted this quite a while ago, Im assuming tweets dont count as tips do they? even if aimed @thesixthaxis?


  4. That just looks odd – and yet ten thousand lots of awesomeness at the same time. Im ever so slightly tempted to go buy the game now.


    • You haven’t yet?? You should be ashamed!


    • It could be like a crazy cool 3rd Person Shooter smash brothers, if done well.


  5. Those screeenshots just look all wrong. Far too lush and colourful for a Resistance or Killzone game! Lol

    On a serious note, its annoying that linear games like this don’t ever seem to get single player DLC. I can take or leave skins and maps for online play but I’d give my right bollock (its my least favourite) for some more single player content, even if it was within the same story.

    Imagine a kind of ‘what happened after Uncharted 1″ when perhaps the boat they drove away on gets attacked and they end up on a desert island fighting off natives or pirates for a bit.


    • because that would be too awesome, and Brannigan’s Law clearly states that if a DLC is too awesome it would self implode.


    • It’s a cost thing. If they’re going to bring out new SP DLC (or even the objectives Co-Op DLC) they’d want to do it properly. Bring back the cast (and a new villain or two), do new cutscenes, record new dialogue etc. etc.
      Basically go back into full production for a short amount of time to create an hour or two’s worth of SP. how would that weigh up against the number of sales they get? and what would the community reaction be?

      Given the amount of work it would require, would it not be better to roll it into the next game?

      Anyway, it’s not yet out of the question, but doing competitive MP maps and skins is a much quicker and cheaper process, so that’s what we’re seeing first.

      I wonder if the other maps and skins in Feb and April will be free too? fingers crossed…


      • yah, sorry to disappoint teflon, but the DLC isn’t free,
        on the playstation EU blog it says: “the demo is, of course, free and the PlayStation Heroes pack will be €4.99.”
        So maybe £3?


    • yeah that would be cool .. maybe same as what the did with ratchet an clank maybe.???? some mini episodes could be cool..


  6. haha, the new characters look awesome! cant wait to play with them in Uncharted 2! :)


  7. It’s a shame I can’t play as Drake in Resistance 2. I’d actually be quite happy to pay for that skin.
    It might even encourage me to finally get round to getting the Killing Machine trophy for my plat.


  8. Difficult idea to pull off well, it can look and play ver gimmicky when entertainment characters cross their boundaries of their respected worlds. It looks really good, and I reckon Naughty Dog have the ability to pull it off


  9. Love Uncharted2, and the multiplayer… the game just gets better and better

    Probably won’t use the skins though, as the glowing body parts can give your position away when you’re peeking over a wall or whatever.


    • Exactly what I was thinking. Like on WH when people have luminous armour.

      Hope they don’t embarrass the Infamous devs by making the Cole skin look better than it did in their game ! :D


      • Ha… I might download him so I can play as a decently animated Cole, and not one that walks like he’s shit himself.


  10. Hahah, the Helghast and Cole ones look brilliant! I really really really need to get this game now, I just need to find it for less than £40 >.<


    • ShopTo have it for £33 (inc. delivery). Amazon for £35.


      • Grainger Games £30 (free delivery). I’ve used them many times and their service has been great!


      • £29.98 at Simply Games


  11. looks awsome, Hale vs helghast woop woop


  12. Hooray my news tip made it onto TSA!

    On topic though, the new costumes all look awesome. And the very attractive price of free makes them even better. Any DLC for Uncharted 2 is good DLC in my eyes though. Can’t wait for all of this, bring it on!


    • Ah, only they’re not free:
      Quoting the playstation EU blog “the Uncharted Heroes pack will be €4.99

      sorry


  13. Great news for the TSA UC2 clan !!


  14. CRACKALACKING!!!!!!!


  15. This is awesome!
    Will be interesting to see how the Killzone 2 Helghasty people skins flow – will it be motion blurry like KZ? =D
