Quick Blast of Stuff

A Joystiq interview clearing up some questions about U3:DD-- no Move, no single player campaign co-op, multi-bad guy fighting, etc.

And here's a little more of the chateau sequence.


I like how Naughty Dog was all "hey let's do another building falling down because we're super good at that shit." BECAUSE THEY ARE.

Uncharted 3 Trailer Tonight "Not CG"

(click entry title to link)

Geoff Keighley of GTTV mentioned that tonight's premier trailer for U3:DD is NOT CG. I'll be damned if I know what that means though. Presumably something live action, but I can't imagine what.

I also found some info from Spike TV about the trailer tonight:




In any case, here's a reminder to watch the Spike VGAs tonight at 8pm EST/ 5pm PST. I can't, sadly. But expect a post on them tomorrow.

Massive Update

Hello everyone! I've gotten back in the saddle now that Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception has officially been announced, and I figured I might as well post as much as I can all at once, since there was a LOT of news that dropped today!

First, at about 9am this morning, the big bomb was dropped via the Entertainment Weekly article announcing what we've all been waiting for-- Uncharted 3 is in the works, and the official world premier will come at the Video Game Awards on the 11th. News quickly spread particularly through Twitter--my gaming column was flooded with retweets from both gaming blogs and ND employees. Possibly the Sony exclusive that will be released on the 12th will be Uncharted 3. It's not definite, of course, but seeing as how Sony seems to be in line to push Uncharted as a big flagship franchise, it might very well be U3:DD. Either way, there will definitely be a gameplay demo on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Monday the 13th.

We've only received a brief summary so far, but collecting info from around the web we know that some of the gameplay takes place in both Saudi Arabia and France, Drake is investigating T.E. Lawrence, there will be focus on deception (obviously), Sully's relationship with Drake will be further explored, the sand looks badass, a plane explodes, Nathan wears a pashmina scarf, and there are probably Nazis involved (I might have made up the last thing, but I'd still totally put money on that).

The Uncharted website has been updated to a placeholder/teaser website, where you can see the two screenshots released, as well as the trailer. IGN has some excellent theories relating to the images we now have.

Examining the product details on Gamestop's preorder page reveals that there will be an increase in online competitive team size from 10 to 12, but more importantly is COUCH CO-OP (as a Tumblr user named it), aka split screen or local co-op, of up to 2 people. FINALLY I can share Drake's adventures with my friends and family, who are marginally less likely to curse me out than strange 14-year-old boys online. Furthermore, Uncharted 3 is going to support 3D (!!!).

Also related is news that there will be an Uncharted novel, and the movie, possibly starring "Marky" Mark Wahlberg, is on hold for now while director/writer David O. Russel writes something else.

If I think of anything else I'll post it, but whew. That's enough for now.

Phone-In Podcast Interview with Hennig

(click on blog entry title to link to details)

This Wednesday at Kotaku, 1pm ET (10am PT), there will be a live podcast with phone-in questions for Amy Hennig. Just before the podcast there will be a reminder post on Kotaku with calling information, so go check that out.
I'd probably be too starstruck to spit out anything coherent, even if I did come up with a good question ahead of time.

Donnelly and Oppenheimer Slated for Screenwriting

(click blog entry title to link to news)

According to the Latino Review, it appears that Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, the guys who wrote the upcoming Conan reboot, are replacing Kyle Ward as the screenwriter for the Uncharted movie. Word is that this is because Ward is working on Hitman 2 and Columbia Pictures wants a draft of the script faster than Ward would be able to give it to them.
As other people have mentioned, this means that the producers are looking to get Uncharted moving, most likely to keep people interested in the wake of Uncharted 2. We're high priority, people! :D
