It’s been a crazy day for fans of the Uncharted series. First we had the teaser trailer and then we got a look at the cover design. Now we have the official press release.
According to the Sony marketeers, Uncharted 3 will offer “bigger set-pieces and more explosive adventure” which seems a bold claim considering the landmark action and storytelling offered by the second game of the series.
We’ve also been promised deeper multiplayer aspects with more cinematic elements making the move across from the single player modes.
Perhaps most interesting are the promises of an expanded combat system: “hand-to-hand combat with multiple opponents, contextual melee attacks, and new stealth options” are all on the table. That sounds like perhaps Naughty Dog have been playing with RockSteady’s Arkham Asylum and noticed how free-flowing, multiple-opponent combat can be done really well. The stealth aspects will also be very interesting if done well (and we’re sure they will be).
Finally, the press release suggests updated visuals, even though Uncharted 2 remains one of the best looking games available. New particle and fluid effects could look even better in stereoscopic 3D!

So this is not the ps3 exklusive game that was going to be showed op for the first time at VGA? So it’s maybe STARHAWK???

That could be interesting… but I think the VGAs will still have new Uncharted 3 announcement.
*crosses fingers for Starhawk

I would really like it if Uncharted included more stealth and CQC options. The only thing that really put me off the first one was that I just seemed to spend too much time behind cover waiting for reams of enemies to stop firing at me. I’ve yet to play the 2nd so I don’t know if it any different.

Sweet. I hope they make another console version of Jak and Daxter after this is done.

I won’t be commenting for the next couple of days because I’m busy exploding with joy thanks to Uncharted 3. On a related note, I said it was going to be set in the desert ages ago. Look here http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2010/10/24/is-this-uncharted-3-concept-art/

Wow, can’t believe it’s actually hitting so(Relatively) soon. The last game is still the most impressive game this gen by far, and I don’t see anything coming between now and the new one to change that.
Seems like 2011’s game of the year is set already. Best get your knives out now Nofi :)
