Better physics, more destructable environments, even more enemies on screen, even bigger environments, more environment variety, multiple paths? EVEN BETTER WATER EFFECTS?!

Doesn't always have to be improvements to graphics, they should push the PS3 in other areas like that, since Uncharted basically puts every other action game to shame in terms of technical ability.

Very true Thom.

Id like to see better interaction with the vegetation. Uncharted had it but it's one area Id like to see improved upon.

1.6 - More of the same...
Even if this game looks and feels the same but with a new story and great new adventure, it will be a day one purchase for me. I love Uncharted more than virtualy any other game I have ever played and will love to get back into the world of Uncharted again.

totally agree but naughty dog are like insomniac...they strive to push the goal posts so you know no matter how hard it is to believe uncharted 2 will surpass the 1st in terms of graphics which is just mind blowing to think about..

better hit detection please.

other than that, more of the same would be good enough for me!

more variety of gameplay. The Jeep car chase was awsome. More platforming, New Adventure set in India or China. More dry humor.

Do you reckon co-op would work? Or am I just being greedy?

One thing they can improve on for sure is more enemy variety, never let me see the same model more than once! That would take forever though... But naughty dog are pretty damn amazing so I'm sure if anyone could do it it'd be them. Just look at the water in that game if you want to see how hard they push themselves.

I'm sorry, I know you all love Uncharted, I really liked it too and I'm happy the second one is in dev, but I would prefer it if ND started working on a Jak game. Honestly, part of why I bought my ps3 was because of the prospect of someday getting to play a Jak game.

1.16 - well milo, ND has already secured the name- "jak and daxter: the lost frontier"
so i'm sure we'll be seeing it sometime. i'm looking forward to a new "jak" game as well. i love the series.

1.18 - I agree with other posters...
I'd be more than happy just to have more of the same... It's one of my favorite games and it still has great replay-ability!

Obviously, the story will be set in a different setting (I'd think) but overall, it was a great game and I'm anxious to see what the new one will be like!

Uncharted 2 FTW!

Yeah like the others said, better hit detection and add a co-op mode and we are good ND! I liked the jungle setting but I wouldn't be surprised if ND takes this to more locations than just the Jungle. Maybe follow the Indie/Lara Croft formula and go to around the world to gather clues. We will see. GO NAUGHTY DOG.

2 shots with a pistol and 1 punch very satisfying. They wont get back up either except for the last guy hes on a mixture of roids and pcp or something.

The fact that it took multiple shots to take down the enemies had nothing AT ALL to do with hit detection. It was a design decision. Poor hit detection would be if you are aiming at a dude's head, pull the trigger, and nothing happens. The fact that when you shoot a guy in the arm he twists around, or pop him in the leg and he flops around, is evidence of really good hit detection.

Your real issue is with the developers' decision to make enemies take a lot of bullets before going down. I think that's a problem, too, personally, but it really just makes the headshots that much more satisfying, no?

I agree, Uncharted will look amazing and is easily one of the best looking action games around. And I also agree with the fact that Uncharted 2 should push the same kind of improvements as games like Gears 2 is doing over gears 1.

1.25 - Did anyone know???
Drakes 1 is based on a true story. Drakes coffin was never found in real life. . . :) This was the base of the game. Cool!

Besides that....

The first game was innovating in every category. I have yet to play a game where the jet ski felt so realistic while climbing up rapids.

AMAZING.

The graphics were out of this world. Anyone recall the UBOAT scene at the beginning. Remember walking up to the tip of it to grab the treasure? Look at the sun, trees and the waterfalls... WOW!

I have finished this game 5 times and will be working on #6 soon as I love this game.

The story is great as well.

I would agree with some of the posts. Additions:

1) Co Op online. THIS SHOULD BE A MUST!

2) Online Multiplayer. Something innovative. Something beyond the CTF or Team Deathmatch. A nice example would be for one team to play as Drake and his friends and the other as pirates. The first one to find the treasure wins. ? ? ?

3) More vehicles. Allowing Drake to take off on bikes, ATVs, Trucks etc and actually drive them. Have shoot outs etc. This would be fun in co op.

4)Harder puzzles

5)More swimming/adventure added using scuba gear. To be able to explore above and below water in an ocean setting would be huge. Underwater caves... etc...

6) Add higher altitude climbing areas like the one near the ocean on the side of the wall. Climb up some places real high then use the 6 axis to parachute down... :)

7) Implement a treasure vs money system. Allow Drake to purchase items.. This would allow for extra climbing tools, guns, scuba gear. Stuff that would allow Drake to get to more difficult places as well to get more treasure. New clothes, vests, armor etc.

For me, its not a coop game, i mean i dont see a coop mode in this game, it should stay like this, an unbelivable single player experience...
i was thinking it could be in the north like artic and some hidden ruins or something that would be cool with this engine

One of the things that drove me away from the Tomb raider series is the damn hard puzzles. Running around the same area for hours unable to figure out what to do is designed to make you pay for the manual.
Maybe you eventually figure it out, but it stops the action too long and why mess with a good formula. Don't screw it up for the rest of us, just buy Tomb Raider and play hard puzzles.

Uncharted 2 will be awesome, I can't wait to see what they have done to there engine but it would have been amazing to see a Jak & Daxter game on the PS3:P

Everything Naughty Dog makes is golden. The Crash Bandicoot games, Jak & Daxter and Uncharted. I don't care what they make as long as it comes out soon.

What if they do a PSN game like Insomniac did for R&C? would that satisfy your hunger till they could release a full Jaks game in 2010

Now that's an idea! Jak & Daxter was one of my favourite games on the ps2, if thhey could release a small game like Q4B on the PSN I'd be satisfied. Until of course, they release a full J&D game :)

It strikes me that every time a good PS3 game comes out--all the way back to Resistance 1--someone says, "Will this ONE game be enough to save the PS3?" Let's stop the nonsense now. There are more good games in the PS3 library than I can afford right now, with a nice big pile of them coming in the next two months.

Can we all just admit that the PS3 and the 360 BOTH have some terrific games, and depending on your taste, either would be worth buying?

Well i'm looking at my PS3 game collection.

And he looks about right.

MGS4 and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

THE ONLY 2 EXCLUSIVE GAMES WORTH PAYING $60 FOR.

I rented Heavenly Sword.

And demoed Resistance, and motorstorm.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS F*CKING GAME.

I really hope killzone 2 kicks ass.
