Rumor: Uncharted 2 to take place in India?

It turns out that the 'Strange Relic' treasure from Uncharted is actually a Precursor Orb from the Jak & Daxter universe. The orb has some unique markings on it that, when translated, say "Naughty Dog" and "Manmad".

A quick Google search will teach you that Manmad is a city in India, so perhaps that's where the next game will take place.

Damn...

I was concocting some concept art, to start an extensive rumour that it was going to be set in the Antartic.

Back to the drawing board.

NO_PUDding5844d ago

I agree Sonarus.

Anyone else realise on something circular like an egg, it could just as easily be Mad Man. Which could be an equally obscure thing, or a hint at how much time the guy wasted by decoding it.

Naughty Dog like stuff like that, in Uncharted there was tombstones that joked in Spanish that if you translated it you had too much time. Or something.

sonarus5844d ago

Don't want to discredit him or anything because he could be right but i strongly doubt it.

Lifendz5843d ago

Could have a stage in Tokyo but go through the rural parts of Japan. Would've been interesting. India is good though.

and for some reason for me it seems to fit. Actually China will be cool as well.

gonzopia5843d ago

Fitting, seeing as the first game was compared to Indiana Jones in many ways, whose second installment also took place in India.

Rice5844d ago

Finnaly i can have some basmati rice..

ICUP5844d ago

I thought the second game would be set in Canada, oh well. :(

devilhunterx5844d ago

so if we shoot indians, would that make the game racist again? :P

cmrbe5844d ago

Yeah.The whole racist claim was BS

marichuu5844d ago

Haha, really? The game got claimed racist?
As if germans and russians havent been done to death in war games... no pun intended ;<

devilhunterx5844d ago

Sheesh. Some guys are very sensitive. Yahtzee was just being sarcastic.

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

ABizzel1997d 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_92997d ago (Edited 997d 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.

Inverno997d 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.

DFresh997d ago (Edited 997d 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.)

NecrumOddBoy997d 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.

Michiel1989997d ago

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

medman997d ago (Edited 997d 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.

brando008996d ago

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

Gardenia997d 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.

Ninver997d ago

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

Michiel1989997d ago

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