(click blog entry title to link to article)


This weekend the first DLC launches, FOR FREE, giving us a new multiplayer map-- "The Fort," as seen in the video above. Also the hero teams will be all Doughnut Drakes, and the villain teams will be all Doughnut Lazarevics. Also, there will be new leaderboards, if you care about that sort of thing.

Donnelly and Oppenheimer Slated for Screenwriting

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

Go forth and make sure that Uncharted wins all sorts of cool stuff. And bitch about the fact that it didn't get a Best Cast nomination.

Poll on New DLC Multiplayer Modes

(click blog entry title to link to news; click Naughty Dog website link to vote on poll)

Naughty Dog is having a poll to see what the players would like to see in a new multiplayer mode.

The choices are:

Plunder Only
All Plunder, all the time. No variations, nothing but capping treasure and shooting enemies.

Crushing: All Game Types
The Crushing variation on all maps with all game types. Crushing is a more hardcore version of our rule set where players have less health and no Boosters are active.

Crushing: Deathmatch Only
The Crushing variation on all maps in standard Deathmatch only.

Skilled Objectives
All Objective game types, but now with a Skill Level. Skill Levels are tied to each playlist, so all players would start with a Skill Level of 1 in this playlist, regardless of the Skill Level already achieved in the Ranked playlist.

Deathmatch Variants Only
All the Deathmatch variants including Sniper/Pistole, Pistols/Grenades, RPG's, and Crushing.

Perhaps You Want More News Updates?

As you've probably noticed, I post a lot less frequently now, especially since most of the news that's coming out about Uncharted stuff are reviews.

But if you want lots of news too, check out this Uncharted LJ community. The mod puts lots and lots of Uncharted news up. You can also link to affiliate fan communities (that I may or may not be involved in).
