Sony has added two more titles to its PS3 Greatest Hits, this time, the heavyweights and bestsellers Uncharted 2 and God of War 3. The Uncharted 2 version is the GOTY version, which includes lots of new content. Both games will retail for $30. The full list of new games added to the Greatest Hits lineup are:
Sony’s new handheld console, still codenamed NGP, has a powerful quad core ARM processor and quad core graphics processor, which makes it the most powerful portable device on the planet. How powerful? Check out the video above of the NGP version of Uncharted. It sure as hell is looking good to us!
As promised, Uncharted 3 gameplay debuted on the Jimmy Fallon show yesterday, showing some nice, great looking action wiht Nathan Drake fighting his way through a burning building.
Uncharted 3 is set for release on November 1 next year, which makes the date 11.1.11 – lots of ones there, as Jimmy Fallon also notes.
Sony and developer Naughty Dog have revealed the first teaser trailer of Uncharted 3, subtitled Drake’s Deception. The first gameplay video will be revealed on the Jimmy Fallon show on December 13, while the game will be released in Fall 2011. Not only that, the game will sport 3D as well. Count us interested!
While Microsoft and Nintendo have happily secured their own exclusives for their respective consoles, Sony is struggling to find their one killer title. However, many have pondered if the Uncharted series is the answer. If you own a PS3 (or have played Uncharted 2) you most definitely know how amazing the series is both graphically and gameplay wise.
However. now that Uncharted 2 has been on store shelves for quite some time, it’s time to begin thinking about Uncharted 3. Well, today, rumors have surfaced from Kotaku that say the newest Uncharted iteration will take place in a desert setting. According to our source, this is the same tipster that let us know there would be an Uncharted 3 trailer during the Spike VGA’s on December 11th.
Would you like it if Uncharted 3 took place in a desert? If not, where would you like it to take place?
Uncharted 2 will be getting its Game of The Year edition soon, and Sony has revealed the box art for the game, and its new contents. It will include a ton of DLC which was released over the past year, either free or for $, in all, $35 worth of DLC. The game will be out on October 12.
Considering the Uncharted franchise is so important to Sony it’s rather strange that we haven’t seen a PSP version of the game. Well, if Naughty Dog‘s co-president Evan Wells has anything to do with it that will all change very soon.
Below he comments:
“I think it would be fantastic to see the game (move) onto a handheld system. Each one of the episodes is sort of like a standalone thing and I think we could do that pretty easily. If we can find a partner to work with, I’d love to do that … we definitely wouldn’t do it ourselves. We’re trying to just focus on the PS3 technology and platform right now. But, if we can’t find a partner, then maybe we’re going to have to find a budget ourselves.”
So, while he doesn’t actually confirm the fact that an Uncharted game is headed to the PSP he does confirm the fact that the studio is definitely thinking about it.
Need more proof that Uncharted 2 is an amazing game? How about the fact that it’s sold 3.5 million units to date making it the fastest selling first party Playstation 3 game of all time.
Couple that with the fact that the game won pretty much all the award there and received pretty much flawless reviews across the board and you have an obvious conclusion; Uncharted 2 kicks ass, go get it now.
I bet Naughty Dog is over there licking their lips about how much money there is to be made with Uncharted 3, whenever it comes out.
One of the best PS3 games of last year, if not the best, Uncharted 2, is set to receive some DLC on February 25, which will be followed with a multiplayer patch as well, which includes trophies for the multiplayer portion of the game. The DLC will include 6 characters from the original Uncharted, plus two new maps, which together will cost $6.
Several games are known for having the “double XP” weekend, where, just for a weekend, players will get double up on XP in the game. While Uncharted 2 doesn’t have XP, instead, cash, it’s called double cash weekend, and you better take advantage of it, because cash in Uncharted 2 is used to buy new weapons and upgrades.
