Dec I have a distinct feeling that many of you might have been expecting that this day would be coming real soon … Today, we’re beginning to reveal more about our next project here at Naughty Dog – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Surprised, right?
You can catch the first glimpse of our next game on GameTrailers.com, which is hosting a video we’ve put together advertising the 2008 Video Game Awards on Spike. Our VGA ad will also premiere on the air tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2, at 9:25 PM during UFC Unleashed on Spike. Oh yeah, that means we have something much bigger lined up …
The world premiere of our first trailer for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves!
This trailer will be shown during the 2008 Video Game Awards show, airing on December 14, 2008, at 9:00 PM on Spike. Don’t forget!
On top of that, Game Informer has revealed the cover for their January 2009 issue today, which features none other than – you guessed it – Uncharted 2. The January 2009 issue will hit subscribers and newsstands in mid-December and will give you the first in-depth look at what lies in store for Nathan Drake.
Keep an eye out for a lot more about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves in the coming months!

I was not expecting it so soon.. or at all.. WOW im so excited! I loved the first one and hopefully you can add some little spice here and there maybe even announcing some co-op? multiplayer?
The VGAs, I heard, are amazing! I have never got a chance to see one in the past, but since I learned about it this year.. im so happy!
Thanks,
Matheaks
BTW

Woo! I was kinda in a toss up on if I wanted to see a Jak and Daxter game or Uncharted 2 next. I’m glad to see Uncharted 2, but now a bit concerned Jak will never come again :(.
Oh well, beggers can’t be choosers I suppose. The Spike VGA awards just got a new viewer. I’m hoping they show a bit more than this trailer though, although I must say, Nate looks like he’s been overcome with greed. Looks like a darker storyline to me. Wow, amazing the conclusions 1 can make from 10 seconds of footage.

We NEED a Special Edition for this one, guys. Naughty Dog wants our money, and we should give it to them!
Also, Drake is the best new character for gaming this gen, hands down. His one liners are peerless, and his fisticuffs and gunplay otherworldly.

Uncharted is awesome! Let’s hope we see more aggressive ad campaigns and gameplay outlines for new players as alot of people I showed Uncharted too took it as a shooter since there was alot of gunplay and called it a weak shooter…compared to cod4. I thought the shooting was great but maybe a dev interview on a tv gameshow would help inspire new gamers to join the Uncharted family.

For the love of god, allah, whoever you believe in sony, please do some great advertising for this game, and your other exclusives. No vague commercials please, hit em with why they need to play the game thats being advertise and when possible, PSN is free, let the non ps3 owners know that, free is great.

I am looking forward to this despite the fact that I didn’t really like the shooting in the first one. It was an incredibly beautiful and cinematic experience but it felt like they tried to copy gears of war’s shooting mechanics and failed miserably instead of making something original and fun. Other than the clunky shooting though the game was a blast and I will buy the first when I can get a good sale on it (I rented and beat the first one).

Uncharted is still my favorite PS3 game, and I can’t wait to see more of this! Thank you Naughty Dog, there’s a reason you’re my favorite developer.
Some suggestions for the game: more complicated puzzles, more adventuring, and more half-tuck!

Can you feel the love?
There is a lot of hype for the Resistance, LBP, and Killzone IP’s, but those games all have their nay-sayers. It might be time to really push Drake as the PS3 flagship character.
(Maybe that is what you’re doing with the 160gb bundle though)

Go away moron.
Go back to your wimpy POS RRoD box. Don’t ever try to rip on a game that is poorly implemented ripoff like Gears of War is of Kill.switch.
