SPIKE 2008 VGAs: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves trailer World Premiere

66 1

If you watched last night’s 2008 SPIKE Video Game Awards, you heard the term “World Premiere!” quite a bit. Perhaps the most impressive “World Premiere!” was the reveal of the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves trailer. Shortly after the show ended, I caught up with the Josh Scherr, Cinematics Lead at Naughty Dog.

As the man behind the trailer, Josh shared his insights into Nathan Drake, and what it’s like to debut the first look of such a highly-anticipated title on a national stage.

Don’t forget, you can jump onto the PlayStation Store right now this Thursday and download the Uncharted 2 trailer for yourself!

  • wooooooop woooooop

  • Uncharted 2, inFamous, Street Fighter IV, God of War 3, Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, White Knight Chronicles, Tekken 6: BR, Flower… Too many games already!! My wallet won’t resist (Resistance Retribution?!)

  • i dont think ill be picking up retribution till later on but your rite all those titles and so little cash in my pocket.

  • Awesome! This trailer was great and I actually saw it on a few sites before seeing this post, but watched it again. Thanks for the behind the scenes interview, but Fall 2009? Man, this is going to be a long wait.

    Does anyone else find it odd that one of the powerful gaming systems out there can only deliver content once a week? In a world of instant gratification where we all stay connected online, how is this keeping the PSN content relevant? It’s just so odd to me. I guess better late than never.

  • This game is gonna rock.

    The graphics are AMAZING!

  • My buys for 2009: Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5, God of War 3, Uncharted: Among Thieves, Grand Turismo 5 (it’ll come out), and Final Fantasy 13 (it’ll come out). I think that about covers the AAA titles that I know of.

  • @nmc75 you forgot inFamous That game is a AAA looking game. You can friging Glide!

  • Awesome trailer… the game will be incredible! my only complain is that Drake’s beard/stubble does no look realistic…. it feels like someone just went to town with the burn tool(PS) on his face… the shading is just too smooth for a real beard!

  • Number one game on my list :)

  • we need a crazy gameplay/story trailer! but this game looks incredible its not even funny how good this game and what naughty dog has done!

  • I played Uncharted from beginning to end 3 times already and have 100% trophies. I loved the game and its in my top 10 of greatest games. But now that I’ve seen the images online and the trailer of Uncharted 2 all i can say is I can’t wait. This one seems to have way more detail than the first. What new move sets does Drake have now that he didn’t have before?

  • People say what they want but I’ve not seen any other console games look as good as some of the games on PS3. Uncharted 2 using SSS tech is freaking CRAZY man.

  • . ..I just hope the sequel has more open environments than the first. The original was awesome don’t get me wrong, but they did all this work on giving Drake this amazing animation system and we barely got to put it through its paces unless the game explicitly allowed it.

    Area linearity and intense hand holding with the puzzles were the only two drawbacks from the first game for me. Make us proud ND!!

  • Nice interview, I can’t wait for the game! Jeff, you are a tall man you! :)

  • @52 Killzone 2

  • please please please advertise this game and masivly hype this game because the first was amazing and this game doesnt deserve to have crap sales like little big planet r2 and m2

  • man sweet this one better have online
