Uncharted 2 does not require any install

Though this doesn’t matter for people who installed the WD 500 GB harddrive *cough*me*cough* it’s great news for people who who’s drive is getting fuller rand fuller with PSN only games like Fat Princess.

Cage’s address, titled Writing Interactive Narrative For A Mature Audience, will focus on why mature games are necessary, what difficulties developers face in creating narrative-driven adult games, and possible solutions and techniques in interactive storytelling.

Infinity Ward just released on their Youtube Channel a video of the multiplayer in action. Few new weapons were shown along with a Kill Streak Perk system. You’ll be able to customize your Kill Streaks. So far only one has been shown at the current moment. The AC-130 Gunship Perk allows you to rain fire down on your opponents down below while the plane flies overhead. It also appears that you can attach the motion sensor shown in the E3 demo to your weapons, as shown on the SAW. Also you can stick grenades on your opponents.
