Entertainment Weekly has just posted up the epitome of a teaser for next year’s Uncharted. Subtitled “Drake’s Deception”, the third part is indeed set in the desert. As reported on the site:
The story focuses on the hero’s relationship with his mentor and father figure, fan fave Victor “Sully” Sullivan, and has him searching for a legendary lost city that will ultimately take him to the Arabian Peninsula and the vast wasteland of the Rub’ al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter.
The plot of Uncharted 3 draws more from Drake’s exploits as well as from the life of T.E. Lawrence – not from his militant days as the fabled “Lawrence of Arabia,” but rather the Brit’s early years as an archaeologist.
Check out the embedded snippet below to see what’s on offer. Hint: not much at the moment. Saturday is only a couple of days away, however. *wink*

The fabled difficult 3rd installment, its where Oasis start their slow decline, its why The Office(UK) never went to 3 series, its where the likes of the Killer’s, Keane and Kaiser Cheifs have all struggled. Superman films from 3 onwards have all been well below par, Godfather 3 isn’t a patch on the first 2 and
Does the same apply to video games well Toejam and Earl 3 was a definite let down on the xBox all those years ago, but apart from that I cant think of many others poor 3rd installment video games
I’m definitely utterly almost confident Uncharted 3 will be brilliant.

CoD3 is widely criticised
jayjay119
Yeah, by women everywhere as a boyfrend stealing wh*re! But to be fair, they should have seen it coming.
BrendanCalls
Your right CoD 3 was pretty poor, which led to the series being reinvigorated by the MW reboot – apt link to todays lunchtime discussion

Uncharted 3 is set in a desert? I already have a headache from the ‘They ripped of Tomb Raider 2’s Nepal level and now they’re ripping of Tomb Raider 3’ complaints that I’m going to have to endure for a few months!

Go away hater…
They have used jungle,snow and now it is desert.It’s just logical.
jayjay119
how the hell am I a hater, I’m complaining about the complaints that other people will make. I’m completely indiferent to Uncharted. Read properly please.
BrendanCalls
Play nice kivi95,
jayjay119 was clearly only pointing out what he thinks people will complain about, and hes well entitled to express that
kivi95

If they do an Uncharted with lifeless grass and ultra-smooth tarmac I’ll be alerting Polyphony’s lawyers. You just try it, Naughty Dog!
