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

@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.

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....

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.

1.12 - Hey guys....You want to know a little secret about the game????
______________________________ ______________________________ _ ______________________________ _ ______________________________ _ _________________
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....

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.

Uncharted2, MAG and MW2

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

^^ 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.
Shut this user up Let user speak
SmokingMonkey - 261 days 3 hours ago
2.4 - a lot of people i've talked to aren't impressed by MAG..yet
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?

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.

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.

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 !

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

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.

September would be the perfect time for Uncharted 2 because in October/November/December there's just SOO many big games coming out during that Holiday Rush period when there's just tons of good games being released in a short time frame like last year.

I'm not surprised to hear that "No Multiplayer Mode" was mentioned because even though a lot of people were clamoring for Co-op, I never expected Uncharted 2 to have it, either way it's a day one purchase for me just like Uncharted 1 was.

Naughty Dog probably could have incorporated Co-op in Uncharted 2, but I imagine they'd need a couple of more months development time to implement it, test it out, make sure it works well with the game, and polish it.

For Sony/Naughty Dog, my guess is that the importance of getting the game out before the end of 2009 was greater than implementing Multiplayer and possibly risking the game slipping into 2010, because Uncharted is a game that's really needed in the Fall 2009 lineup.... I think it was the right decision.

With Uncharted 2, I want more Exploration/Adventure/Platform ing elements, and I'm really interested in seeing how the Stealth portion of the game plays out.

I agree,real good post.....You mentioned -Exploration/Adventure/Platfor ming- elements and I too would want more of this.Plus puzzle solving to be more intricate,not overly difficult for the sake of it,but a bit of a mind bending factor added to them.

I love the fact they are now "melding" the different game aspects,you can shoot while climbing/platforming for example.In stead of shoot here,then climb here,solve puzzle here all done in seperate segements.Meshing the game play elements will be much better.And an already great game could very well be fantastic this time around...

The stealth for me is the cherry on top of this incredible cake.The option of when to use stealth and when to go in guns a blazin is very appealing,I love "choice"...Surprise attacks and figuring out sneaky paths towards you're goals is a great addition...

That would be nice, but I'm prepared to wait a bit longer so Naughty Dog can get it as close to 'perfect' as they can.

i'm so happy this game isnt co op . i dont understand people wanting every game to have co op. i would rather to have an online multiplayer option in uncharted 2.

i love video games and i love to experience and savour every aspect of the game especially getting into the story. i'm not a gamer that buys games because of fanboy hype or hype in general and rush through the game in 4-5 hours. i just think most co op games dont make the story telling side a strong focus . to each his own, but i love playing a game's campaign by myself . imagine playing mgs 4 with co op .

ps. the talon stands for talented.

Uncharted was the first game I put into my PS3 when I first purchased it a couple of months ago. I have to admit no game has ever made me go "oh $hit!" like Uncharted did! Not even KZ2. I really hope for a September release date. It would be smart to release it before or after GOW3. This game will be a 1st day buy and hopefully a midnight release! I think there is a demo coming out soon but I won't play it. I don't want to know anything about the game until I buy it.

If it comes out in September I know it will be because Naughty Dog have made the game they wanted to make. If it comes out later I don't care. I am prepared to wait a little longer for a game of this quality.

I absolutely loved the first one and can't wait for this follow up, but I want naughty dog to take as much time as they need to make the game great.
