Talk Playstation 3 News

A prequel to Uncharted Drake’s Fortune will be released as a comic motion and will be voiced by two actors from the original game.

The announcement was made on a live chat session on the Playstation website.

We have an exclusive announcement! We’re releasing a prequel story to Uncharted 1 as a motion comic voiced by your favorite actors from the two games. Stay tuned for more info.

Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann made the announcement. No further details were revealed.

Naughty Dog announced over at the US PlayStation Blog that the multiplayer demo for Uncharted 2 is now available for download. With the demo clocking at 1.3GB, you’ll get all the standard multiplayer features. There are 4 Competitive maps, 2 Co-op modes.

Head on over to the PlayStation Store and download it now.

Firmware 3.0 consisted mostly out of cosmetical changes (thank god they fixed the battery icon over the clock ‘bug’), it has been causing some issues to games.

Several people have posted on the US PlayStation forum and Neogaf that they are unable to play Uncharted for longer then 20-30 without freezing.

The question remains, who will bring a patch to solve this, SCE or Naughty Dog (and developers of the games affected). We’re putting our money on the first.

You’ll be able to do anything within the machinima mode, tweaking lighting, fog, camera angles, and camera speed. There’s a green screen for you to use to make things easier. To top the cinema mode off, there will be Bluetooth support, meaing when you use your Bluetooth headset, your character will automatically lip sync with the words you’ll be speaking.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is one of the most loved PS3 offerings thanks in part for its addictive gameplay, action, and movie like presentation. With the sequel quickly approaching, if you haven’t played this amazing title, now is the time to do it. For $29.99, you really can’t go wrong.

It’s not an official price drop, but more one from Amazon on the Premium bundle including the 160GB console a download voucher for Pain! and the full game Uncharted. They dropped the price for about 10% leaving you to ‘only’ pay $449.

No word how long this deal might last but better head over quickly if you still need one, or are looking to replace.

More and more video games are becoming movies. Uncharted is set to hot the cinema screen and here are the first details.

When it comes to the big screen adventure, Arad said the plan is to mix things up a little bit. In the game, the action moves very quickly to the island, but the film will open things up a bit and add some depth before the island adventure.

Uncharted is probably the best looking Playstation 3 game to date. With Uncharted 2 on the way, things are looking good for the series. Maybe we’ll end up seeing Uncharted 3.

Speaking with Three Speech in an interview, the Naughty Dog team is believed to be using just 30 to 40 percent of the Playstation 3’s power. This is what Richard Lemarchand Co-Lead Game Designer of Uncharted has to say:

“That’s why we think we’re probably only using 30 or 40 per cent of the power of the PS3 right now, and there’s this great, untapped potential. All third-party developers can get the Edge libraries for free and are going to be able to use them in their own ways, to get more and more and more out of the PS3 over the years.”

Uncharted Drake’s Fortune has been tipped to be the best looking PS3 game to date and it’s only using 30 to 40 percent of the power behind the PS3? *looks forward to the future*.

Thats right folks, the whole world can now start Trophy hunting in Uncharted Drake’s Fortune because the patch 1.10 has now been released in North America after it was released in Europe earlier.

Looks like the patch was earlier than expected after reports saying the patch will be available by mid August.

The Playstation.Blog has posted useful information on the update, check their post out here.

Since medals and Trophies are essentially the same, anyone who has played Uncharted already knows what they have to do to get any one Trophy. If you’re a better gamer than I am and worked to get all the medals before, then you already know what all of the hidden Trophies are.

Naughty Dog has released an update for Uncharted Drake’s Fortune. This update v1.10 enables trophy support and is only available for Europe for the time being.

The patch weighs in at 13MB, you’ll be prompted to download an update for the game when you next go to play it.

No word on an American release apart from an email we received from Naughty Dog a couple of weeks back stating the 22nd. Could this be the American release of the patch?

We think it will most likely hit earlier than the 22nd. Maybe Naughty Dog wanted to beat Buzz. Check this out.

Dan_relentless, part of the development team for Buzz has spoken on the Official European Playstation Forums. Dan basically said that he aims to launch Trophies for Buzz before Uncharted. He didn’t specify a date but ‘hopes to beat Uncharted’.

“We’ve had a couple of last minute bugs, and some tweaks to do. When trophies become involved you have start ensuring that cheating is prevented, or at least made harder, so there’ve been a few things like that that have slowed things down.

There are downsides to being one of the first Blu-Rays with trophies going through QA, lots of new rules and tests, and we’ve included online as well, so it’s double complicated.

So no dates, but we still hope to beat Uncharted…”

We contacted Naughty Dog last week regarding the release date for the Uncharted Trohpies and they responded with the 22nd of August ‘all being well’.
