Uncharted 3: The "Cerebral" Female Villain Revealed
Naughty Dog doesn't believe in rehashing anything, especially when it comes to villains.
It's time to visit the PlayStation Blog and learn about 3D gameplay in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, and the all new villain...or should we say, villainess. She - yes, she - is the central antagonist in the upcoming adventure, and her name is Katherine Marlowe. Say hello:
Marlowe is one dark, tough lady: she's "the coldly calculating leader of a secret society whose roots date back over four hundred years to the court of Queen Elizabeth I." On top of which, there's apparently a "long-standing rivalry" with Drake...see, they both think the ring of Sir Francis Drake is rightfully theirs. She's also "far more elusive and dangerous" than anyone Drake and Sully have faced in the past.
Yeah, she looks like a cross between Helen Mirren and Cruela DeVille, but that's okay. Every time we see something new from this game, we get goosebumps.

Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh were of course famous explorers from the Elizabethan court. Christopher Marlowe was a member of the court, as a poet and associated with Sir Walter Raleigh. Here comes the interesting bit...
Christopher MARLOWE (as in Katherine Marlowe) was not only a contemporary of Drake, Raleigh and others, but he was reputedly recruited as a spy by none othe than Sir Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth's spymaster...
And then there is this;
"He was amember of the secret society called "The School of Night" which was attended by fellow highly prominent Elizabethans - new beliefs were discussed and it is closely related to the mysterious Rosicrucian movement"
This information is from the following web page...
http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/christopher-marlowe.htm
Here's what Wiki has to say about the Rosicrucian Movement....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucianism
This game is shaping up to be incredible, and full, and I mean FULL of intrigue and secrets and who know what else. Either way, it seems likely that Katherine Marlowe is related to Christopher Marlowe a Poet and spy from the Elizabethan court at the time of Drake and Raleigh. If that's not a good story, I don't know what is.

Since, I always buy brand new, what do I do with the online passes, beta codes and redeem codes that I do not use? I think that it might be illegal to sell them.

Anyway, I will start here In Cebu. We have an anti-jailbreak community that is willing to support the biz. After that, we will go nationwide.
Well "legit business" is kinda open here. I know someone who opened up a store (with permits and everything) specifically to jailbreak ps3s, install cfw on psps and sell pirated games.

To answer your question, yes I think its legal. I mean you just answered it yourself. If its perfectly legal here to open a store with the sole intention to JB, sell pirated games, etc. then why shouldn't it be legal to rent legit games? Gamehopper is basically the same.

I would be careful, just in case your business becomes insanely successful. If you end up making a lot of money, and it wasn't done by the book, gaming publishers, potentially represented by Nintendo, Microsoft, and/or Sony, could take you to civil court and sue for losses, thus getting your profits. If your business remaind small, they likely wouldn't care, but if you made, say millions, they would most certainly go for it if you do not have a rental agreement.
But it wouldn't be so illegal that you'd go to prison for it, I wouldn't think. It would be a civil suit if it did go to court.
I dunno... if it ends up working out really well for you, you might as well make sure you are protected. Just in case your idea hits the jackpot.

What ND do sit just production values. It's the entire package. Comparing games across genre is notoriously difficult be cause we all have our genre bias. But within the genre of game that Uncharted inhabits, there is none to beat Uncharted 2 - yet. It looks like even if someone comes along and beat's uncharted 2, Uncharted 3 will once again grab the lead by the throat and not let go for a long, long time.

I have only one problem with all of this. David O. Russel seems hell-bent on ruining it.

Anyway, I like the fact that Naughty Dog is not going stereotypical with the villainess this time. She sure reminds me of Helen Mirren, and to cast her as the voice actress would be awesome!
And no need to comment on the graphics. Uncharted has been raising the bar every time it comes out, and they still have more than five months to work on everything.
11-1-11 cannot come any sooner!

Also, explain to me how they didn't introduce the new characters properly in the last one please. You can't just post something like that without also posting the reason you think that.

Love the animation and graphics.
Love the story and history.
Love the subtle yet effective tone of music playing in the background to emphasise the mood.
I just love everything about what this trailer represents!!!
Seriously, Hollywood should just hire the Naughty Dog guys to make a film once they're done with Uncharted 3. It seems video games have now taken over films when it comes to story-telling. Never thought I'd see the day, yet here we are.

As soon as I read that, I thought Hmm, Uncharted meets Assassin's Creed. Is Drake taking on the Templars this time around? lol
On a side note, did anyone else think that she looks a little like Martha Stewart?
