New Messages from Nathan Drake

Nathan Drake has just written new messages on his official page at the german social network "MeinVZ":

- "Amundsen was the first to reach the South Pole. He wrote about a city that is said to have lain under the ice there. That doesn't make any sense!"

- "The South Pole is now 25 million years under ice. Such cities didn't exist at that time. What has Amundsen seen? I can't sleep because of that!"

- "I'm probably crazy, but I want to know more about it. I will fly to Fredrikstad, Amundsen's hometown. Must know it"

...if they announce U3 at E3 it's going to be the best SONY E3 ever.

Stinkinmushroom5094d ago

wait... what the hell is MeinVZ????

nveenio5094d ago

I've never heard of that site, either, but I am an Uncharted junkie. I would sell my soul (and body) to Satan for a glimpse of Uncharted 3 at this year's E3.

Commander TK5094d ago

Egypt and Atlantis r perfect settings

Noctis Aftermath5094d ago

Uncharted 3 announcement at E3 would be awesome, but i'm betting on a PSP version.

Delive5094d ago

That is what is great about this franchise, with so many places in the world with mysteries left to them, there is ALWAYS a fresh place to start a story.

Hideo_Kojima5093d ago (Edited 5093d ago )

ooohohhhoohohhh no no no please no no just no please please noooo

Uncharted 3 needs to be PS3 please please putting it on a PSP is a bad idea. BAD.

I was so sad when Snake Eater went PSP :(
I was expecting it to be a PS3 exclusive after Risen was announced to be multiplat I thought they would take the FFXIII approach.

EDIT:

Uncahrted 1 Spoilers

Uncharted 3 should go to Egypt for a couple of chapters... It would fit Drakes Story well. Imagine walking around in Pyramids and discovering secret Portals to underground civilizations full of mummies etc... it would also fit with Uncharted 1 where you find those mummies they could be the place where they came from.

MisterNiwa5093d ago

First of all, MeinVZ is like Facebook in germany.

Second..

@Guntrol

Snake Eater is a PS2 Exclusive Game, lol.

morganfell5093d ago

Drake has to go to Macchu Picchu sooner or later.

Sony has already secured victory at E3 with the high possibilities of Agent and last gaurdian plus KZ3 and UC3 along with new fresh 1080p, 60fps footage of gran tursimo 5.

No competition.

DMason5093d ago (Edited 5093d ago )

So, they secured it with "high possibilities of..."? That sounds like an oxymoron to me. And everyone knows these games are coming, so really its no big deal. Now, if they announce something even better, than that's a different story.

But no, they havent "secured" E3 yet, and they never have.

Greywulf5093d ago (Edited 5093d ago )

But they don't have:

- Cirque De Solil
- Steven Speilberg
- The Beatles
- other non-game related events
- Buying into Micrsoft associated Franchises
- Multiplatform releases advertised as exclusives with timed exclusivity to begin with possibly maybe, who knows.

Without any of that, Sony will lose yet another E3 in the eyes of n4g and the media...

Sucks to be us...

lol.

Eamon5093d ago

I'm only interested in Agent, Last Guardian and Uncharted 3.

I don't really care about KZ3 since I never liked KZ2. And I'm not interested in GT5 cuz I'm not so much into car games.

Hopefully Sony will announce some new exclusives at E3.

sikbeta5094d ago

UC3 WOW!

UC3 will be Awesome and that's it...

WhittO5094d ago (Edited 5094d ago )

Nooo its too soon! I want them to have as much time to make U3 as they did U2, Uncharted 1&2 are prob my favourite games/series on PS3 but I dont want them to turn into COD and release 1 like every year or so.

shadow27975093d ago (Edited 5093d ago )

What makes you think they're going to release one every year? UC2 took 18 months. They can show a teaser at E3 and still be on pace to release it around then. In fact, 18 months would put it at April 2011. But I'd bet they'll probably release it around Summer/Fall 2011. Though April would be directly competing with Gears 3, which would be awesome.

Hideo_Kojima5093d ago (Edited 5093d ago )

Did you just say Uncharted 3 would be competing with Gears 3?
Wat the F@#\< u smocking dude...
Gears will have nothing on UC3

N4BmpS5093d ago

Don't worry about U3 Amy Hennig(Writer) had already been researching possible location and story ideas for U3 and she started 1 month after U2 was released. Don't worry about U3, it won't be coming out this year maybe next year look at the time gaps Uncharted: DF(2007) Uncharted 2: AT (2009) I expect(educated) Uncharted 3 (2011 at the latest Q1 2012)

HolyOrangeCows5093d ago

Of course they're going to announce U3 at E3, but it still won't release until last year.

badz1495093d ago

Uncharted 3 will be awesome and now they're going to the south pole! can't wait for another epic adventure with Drake and friends!

If they announce U3 at E3 you might just get 2 nuts and have to take a 4:20.

Ravage275093d ago (Edited 5093d ago )

WTF is this?! UC3?! Already?!?! Sony what the hell are you planning for E3 you crazy muthaf$#%er?!!? :D

JL5093d ago

Agreed. If that's a real account from ND, then that definitely sounds like a hint at UC3 or at the very least DLC (though DLC doesn't sound right, cause "he" is actually talking about going on an adventure here which is something that single-player is for. And ND's DLC has all centered around MP. I seriously am not expecting any news on UC3 at E3, but if they do...OMG I'll be happy as hell. Seeing SOCOM4 in action and getting UC3, plus probably more on GT5. That's all I need. That would be amazing.

I'm not getting my hopes up though. It's too soon for UC3. I don't expect it to be here til Fall of 2011. So there's no way they announce it this soon. Especially with so much else to showcase. Oh yea....Agent too, that should be awesome.

On that note though, I seriously think this is fake. Why would "Nathan Drake" be posting on some obscure German facebook/twitter type site if "he" was wanting to reveal information? Just sounds fake to me. On that note though. This would be a nice story idea for UC3. There is lots of speculation about Antarctica. About circular or pyramid shaped things under the ice. They know mountains are under the ice too, and supposedly lakes that haven't been exposed to elements in like 100,000 years. Not to mention the ideas floating around about a connection to Atlantis. No telling what's hidden under all that ice. There's been talk of signs of an ancient civilization under there possibly. Theories about maybe that somehow ties into Egyptians and the unexplainable things like the sphinx (which somehow shows signs of water erosion). Could be an interesting setting indeed.

ThanatosDMC5093d ago

Now, they need to announce PSP2 then let it be able to play PS3 games... meh, i can dream.

Imperator5093d ago

Uncharted 2 racked up more awards than any other video game ever (more than Half Life 2 I think). ND will completely destroy all other games with Uc3. After UC2, my expectation are sky high.

Bubble Buddy5093d ago

Uncharted 1 revolutionized water.
Uncharted 2 revolutionized Snow.
Uncharted 3 should revolutionized sand. (Egypt, Atlantis?)

:)

BX815093d ago

Uncharted and Alan Wake have easily become my 2 favorite game franchises of all time! UC3 is gonna be pimp! I can't wait for intel on it!

vhero5093d ago

If this makes E3 then Sony really will be pulling out all the stops as MS got Gears 3 and Halo Reach?? I won't bother with Natal and Move as they are unproven so battle of the exclusives here Sony is gonna win by a LANDSLIDE.

I hope they do a big city this time, that's all they're missing.

Well he could find a big city again with unexpected citizens ...

Cajun Chicken5094d ago

No it isn't. Maybe if they release another MP, yes. But last gen Jak 3 did come out a mere year after Jak 2.

Arnon5093d ago

"But last gen Jak 3 did come out a mere year after Jak 2."

That doesn't exactly mean it's ok. Plus, Jak 2 > Jak 3.

BigPenguin5093d ago

Jak1 > Jak2

Pure platforming bliss.

Arnon5093d ago

Agreed on that. Jak 2 was more of a sandbox. Jak 1 was where it was at.

nveenio5094d ago

Just because they show a glimpse of it doesn't mean it would come out in 2010. How many E3 reveals EVER come out the same year? Few...that's how many...few.

Hideo_Kojima5093d ago

Shown in E3 09 came out 2010.
I want to see UC3

claterz5094d ago

It's never too soon for another Uncharted. Can't wait for e3!

gtamike5093d ago

Takes time to make something good, e.g. GT5

vhero5093d ago

Too soon?? What so its gonna take you a year to complete U2?? I hate this argument they can release great games every year for all I care as I will buy them and it's what a console needs. Releasing 3 games every 2 years is milking but ND ain't doing that are they? They aren't activi$ion...

U3,KZ3,RFOM3,MS3 at E3 for PS3, Now thats a lot of 3's.

xabmol5094d ago (Edited 5094d ago )

Any more 3s?

Patapon3 maybe? *dreams*

RedDevils5094d ago

sikbeta5094d ago

Uncharted 3
KillZone 3
Resistance 3
MotorStorm3
The Getaway 3
Twisted Metal 3
Combo Breaaker! - TRICO

pkb795093d ago

twisted metal 3 has been done
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

but lets not forget the biggest 3, 3D

BigPenguin5093d ago

That would win e3 for me if announced. I hate that they are working on white knight 2 instead of Dark Cloud, such a worse franchise.

Hellsvacancy5094d ago

Thats a lot of 3's, thinkin about 3's id like MediEvil 3

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel11011d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_921012d ago (Edited 1012d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno1012d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh1012d ago (Edited 1012d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy1011d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel19891011d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman1011d ago (Edited 1011d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando0081011d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia1012d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver1011d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel19891011d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?

Ninver1011d ago

@michiel1989
