Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Outed, Headed To Arabia
When you're as big as Uncharted, perhaps it only makes sense that you get outed by Entertainment Weekly.
Rumors of the third installment in the critically acclaimed series have been floating about for a while now; we knew Naughty Dog was working on it, but the developer has remained mute on the subject. However, as you can see by the big unveiling above, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception should be on store shelves "late next year. They say "details are light on the game's story," but apparently, the plot will revolve around Drake and that wisecracking mentor of his, Victor "Sully" Sullivan, who has been in both Uncharted offerings thus far. No word on Elena or Chloe, although we're gonna guess that the cute blond journalist will return.
As for the setting, previous speculation was correct: Drake goes to hunt for a lost city "on the Arabian Peninsula and its bleak Empty Quarter." Partially inspired by the real-life adventures of T.E. Lawrence, they'll be focusing not on the military stuff that earned him his "Lawrence of Arabia" nickname, but on his archaeological career pre-World War I.
As for gameplay details, we'll be looking at expanded co-op and multiplayer modes, improved reverse climbing, and a new skill that will let us target multiple enemies at once. And yes, as if you needed the confirmation, Drake's Deception will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3. Okay, so wait...bear with us a moment: is it really possible that Sony will have Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Twisted Metal, and The Last Guardian out for the holiday rush in 2011...? Based on the recent news, it's a damn good possibility...

Uncharted 3 in Arabia just sounds off the charts. I can't wait to see what they do graphically..U2 had some of the best graphics out there

It sounds fine, especially when playing on crushing, it could be a very useful tool!

bitter since I expected a new IP or a reboot of a past PS series to be announced, that plus many kinda knew U3 was almost confirmed given that Nolan North had mentioned his activity with said title.
Sweet though since it's friggin Uncharted for late 2011!

Hey Ben, can you clarify the "improved reverse climbing" comment?

The addition of co-op in uncharted 2 was good because it was sort of an alternate adventure! It needs to remain that way!
Bringin two players into the main story would take away so many great elements of this franchise!

Also, it's nice to see Naughty Dog isn't out of touch, seeing as how they're beefing up the online play.
2010 was kinda dry as far as exclusives go, but 2011 looks to be one of the best ever!

If Naughty Dog is very confident that Uncharted 3 will look great in 3D, then I'll definitely give them more than just the benefit of the doubt. These people know what they're doing, and they are more than aware of how revered the Uncharted franchise is.
It's amazing how Uncharted quickly became a very important franchise for Sony. Just look at how much it has accomplished in just one generation, with just two games! Sony has definitely hit gold with Uncharted and Naughty Dog. It's so awesome to be a PlayStation fan.

But I have to say that the samsung 3D glasses fit great over my glasses. I play Black Ops ONLY in 3D and I think it's fantastic. Like I've told Jawknee before - I don't think 3D adds much to GT5 because things go so fast anyway, but for FPS's and something like Uncharted 3 - I'm sure it would be amazing.
Pricing can be a problem but I thought I snagged a sweet black friday deal. And I don't know how long it will be before we get 40+ inch screens in 3D without glasses....but you may know more on that than I do.

For example, I just looked at the hhgregg holiday sales ad today & they have two different 3D TV bundled with PS3's on sale for a great price.
46" 3D LED Bravia 1080p 240 Hz, bundled with a 160GB PS3 for only $!,699 (TV is normally $2,799)
55" (same specs) bundled with a 160GB PS3 for only $2,199 - TV is normally $3,499
(NOTE: Glasses are not included in the deal though)
And Best Buy usually has their 3D Mitsubishi's 50" & above, on sale for around a $999 to $1399
(NOTE: not sure if glasses are included in those deals)

Peace.
P.S. Elena must return. Chloe... nyeh, not so much, but I'd hate to see the blonde disappear.

Nothing will beat this amazing anouncement...
Even though I'm not into 3D, can't we just get it non-3D? I'm fine with that. Just give us UC3!
