Confirmed last year, the continuing adventures of Nathan Drake is in development for the past few months by long Naughty Dog, but so far have not had a release date final unless a large end of 2009.

In addition, the official site also confirms the PlayStation, and once again, that in Uncharted 2 no multiplayer mode. "

I wouldn't say no to that, would you?

It's not coming out in September. Sony hasn't said anything, and neither has Naughty Dog. I predict November.

Daoshai5474d ago

Whenever it comes out; september, november. Still an immediate buy for me, most anticipated game I have this season

lordgodalming5474d ago

@1.2

While November could indeed be the true release date, the official Playstation website link in the article holds a hell of a lot more water than a fan (or anti-fan, whatever the case may be) posting a random prediction on N4G. No offense.

Imagine the splash Sony and Naughty Dog could make at E3 by saying, "By the way, Uncharted 2 will be out in three months." Kaboom.

Cannot wait for this game. Day 1 purchase definately

meepmoopmeep5474d ago

day one pre-order of CE for me

:)

If it's in September I trust in Naughty dog that it will be ready to go.And I would welcome it with open arms.We shall see.....

In September they would get a long time frame for sales,less competition,and still get the Holiday crowd buying the game through word of mouth in November and December...

Another reason I would love to see it in September beyond getting it sooner would be that this makes it all the more possible games like GOW3 and or Team ico's next game would get the November window...I know,I know,dreaming....

DAY 1 no matter what day it's released.This game is a must....

Traveler5474d ago

I don't care if it comes out in September or December I just want them to take the time they need to make the game great, which I have no doubt that they will do--Naughty Dog are great.

I am getting it no matter when it comes out. I LOOOVED the first one.

DominusRebellis5474d ago

Noooo not September! How will I focus on school if this masterpiece is released...

Shadow Flare5474d ago

forget school, uncharted 2 is more important

UNCHARTED 2 could very well have multi-player afterall....

Being in the industry for 20 years now you get to know lots of people,and these people know lots of people...Now I have no "NDA's" to worry about on this subject,so I can blab about a little something I just heard about from a reliable source...

- "Multi-player and a new twist to Co-OP" - missions made for coop, seperate from the SP version (which means the SP will not be tampered with) we still get all thats great about Uncharted with another added option or two......... Multiplayer should be about competitive MP...........Clarification should be coming real,real soon....

Naucious5474d ago

I was kinda hoping that it would be multi-player or something online hopefully this isnt confirmed by Naughty dog and they do include it cause that would be a great asset.

I would not be surprised.

If it's true...I will scream for joy.

WhittO5474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

The sooner i get it the better but i really think this will release closer to the holidays, unless they are saving God of War 3 for then, or heavey rain, or MAG, or Rachet & Clank, or.....

Guess they actually dont have to "Save" any games for any time because there are so many!
Not to mention all the third party titles like MW2, Assasins Creed 2, Dead Rising 2 etc.

SmokingMonkey5474d ago

yeah, this winter is going to suck! /sarcasm

i am going to have to make some very tough decisions,

Def
Uncharted2, MAG and MW2

DeadRising2 may have to wait, with a bunch of others?!

oh well, that's why they call me the decider!

WhittO5474d ago

^^ I dont know about MAG, we havent really seen enough of it to get too excited, i thought they would have shown more by now, since its almost a year since they announced it !

But i think it will be a good game, my top list is Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and God of War 3, MW2 can wait a few months lol.

SmokingMonkey5474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

i remember when people were saying the same thing about SOCOM3 pushing 32 player on the PS2. (it wont work, it's too much, etc)

I am confident in Zipper and i'm not "burned out" on FPS's like a lot of gamers today. So i welcome MAG with very open arms, imagine Warhawk on steroids with "called out" objectives ala Killzone2 with the madness of Resistance2 8 player co-op.

the one problem i have with MAG is the name. Reminds me of Meg Griffin from Family Guy. MAG....ttthhhrrppppptttt!!!!

But what's in a name?

thor5474d ago

If they're not careful, they won't have ANY big releases for the holiday.

GT5 won't come out this year.
GoW3 probably won't come out this year.
Heavy Rain is a niche title, most people just don't realise this because of the pretty graphics. It IS a niche title, no getting around it; it doesn't neatly fit into a well-established genre.
MAG has a lot to prove and I've already predicted it will be flop of the year.
Infamous is releasing next month, way before the holiday.
Insomniac have to show us that they can release a game that isn't either a carbon copy of their previous games, nor attempting to be a carbon copy of their competetors' games. Ratchet and Clank isn't exactly a HUGE blockbuster title, anyway.

Then that leaves us with Uncharted 2 (if I've left out any confirmed 2009 games, let me know). But if it releases in September, that leaves precisely zero games for the holidays.

Of course it still leaves Sony with the better overall lineup (with Killzone 2, Infamous and Uncharted 2), but it would leave them in a poor position for the holidays. If MS announce two blockbuster games for the end of the year at E3, and Sony don't, I'm afraid that MS will have the better lineup in 2009.

raztad5474d ago

@Thor

Please be kind and elaborate a little more about Heavy Rain. You seem to have a lot of information. I want to know in what genre HR falls in.

WhittO5474d ago

How do you know Heavy Rain is a niche title ? all we know is that the user will have alot of freedom of the actions they choose etc, it is a heavily story based game (my type of game) and really thats all we know.

As for Rachet & Clank, it may not be a HUGE blockbuster (didnt say it was) but they are still high-quality fun games to play that alot of gamers will prefer over other games.

MAG - we dont know much about other than it is ambitious, which is better in my eyes as it helps it stand out instead of becoming just another one of the 50 shooters already available.

We dont know if GOW3 is out this year, dont think GT5 will be, we will know at E3.

You cant say they aren't games worth choosing just because they dont appeal to you, i was stating that the ps3 has such a huge VARIETY of games and a large number of great titles to choose from this year, which no matter what, you cant dispute that !

DADO5474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

It cannot come soon enough. The first one was very good in my opinion.

Mandaspt5474d ago

Sooner than I think. And it´s a shame that the game don´t have a multiplayer mode, Uncharted has so much potential for that.

xxsnowmanxx5474d ago

why do people disagree with you on the multiplayer? i think it would be great if they put that in... think of it like gears except with jumping and climbing no?

Hallucinate5474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

no...god kids these days...everything doesnt have to be multiplayer..if you want multiplayer go buy an xbox or sumsh1t

unless its coop MP then thats alright i guess..i wouldnt use it but w/e

ThatArtGuy5474d ago (Edited 5474d ago )

Zelda will never be a good game until they program in multiplayer. I mean, really, it's almost 2010 and Zelda isn't online yet? What's up with that? I can't enjoy Zelda until me and my friends can play Link and Ganon in a gladiator arena in deathmatch mode. Otherwise, I want to play Zelda and Link in coop looking for the Triforce with all the people on my list of friend codes. /sarcasm

solsub5474d ago

Forget the multiplayer. I'm glad Naughty Dog is focusing on improving aspects that made the first one great instead of partitioning their efforts to concentrate on an MP component.

This is not a multiplayer game and will thankfully never be one.

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1446d ago (Edited 1446d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1445d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1445d ago (Edited 1445d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1446d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1445d ago (Edited 1445d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1446d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931445d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
