Assuredly, one of the biggest complaints about
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was the lack of precipitation in the form of ice crystals, mainly of theintricately branched, hexagonal form. In a 30-second teaser trailer for the now-revealed
Uncharted 2 (via
GameTrailers), developer Naughty Dog has assuaged that concern by proving once and for all that Nathan Drake can exist in a frosty tundra. Don't believe us? See for yourself (video is embedded after the break). As hinted by the trailer, more information is expected during SpikeTV's Video Game Awards on December 14th.
Update: New information care of
Game Informer, which has "
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" as its cover story. The game will revolve around Marco Polo's voyages and includes new free climbing and --
gulp -- "stealth" gameplay.

Hell yeah!

I agree.
I loved Uncharted it's really an amazing game.
Dante @ Dec 4th 2008 1:51AM
I loved the first one. One of the many reasons was because of Greg Edmundson's score. This is the guy who wrote the music for Firefly. He's an amazing composer and really helped give the game a great since of wonder as you played it.
Plus, it's pretty.

Haven't watched it yet - internet is uber slow - but this is yet more evidence that the leaked March PS3 price cut is true.
Not that is really needed any more evidence. It was all but confirmed already.
Hyams @ Dec 1st 2008 6:03PM
Okay, just watched it.
Dunno what to say about it, really. The first game was awesome, so I assume this one will be too. Trailer doesn't give us much information.
Also, what is it with Naughty Dog characters getting a beard and an emo-attitude in their second game?
Haggard @ Dec 1st 2008 6:16PM
"Crash, you must collect the crystals to stop Dr Cortex once again!"
"FUCK OFF! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME! I HATE YOU!"
Hyams @ Dec 1st 2008 6:18PM
Well, I was thinking of Jak of course, but your version is funnier.
BagelsPSN:WolfLogic @ Dec 1st 2008 7:53PM
That reminds me of a scene in Crash: Twinsanity where a farmer says somthing along the lines of " I've got worms in my garden again! If you can get rid of them, I'll give you Oooune Power crystal." Then Cortex stuns him and takes the crystal and goes "what? this isn't a game."
Yeah, I dunno why I typed that out either.
Slayer @ Dec 1st 2008 5:49PM
First day purchase for me.
Al2x @ Dec 1st 2008 5:49PM
I still think Uncharted is the PS3's best game. Mind you, I haven't played LBP.
Henry @ Dec 1st 2008 5:50PM
HOLY FREAKING MOLY!
OMGOMG @ Dec 1st 2008 5:50PM
ONLY SAM FISCHER IS THE TRUE EMO!!!!!!!
NICE TRY, DRAKE!!!!
tmacairjordan87 @ Dec 1st 2008 5:51PM
Damn I can't freakin wait for this I just hope it's not a year and a half away. We all know Sony loves showing games off years before they're ready.
tmacairjordan87 @ Dec 1st 2008 5:56PM
Also, here's hoping they update the cover system and animations with the Eight day's system. Make something good come from that game being cancelled :(
Hyams @ Dec 1st 2008 6:01PM
Naughty Dog follow a strict 'new game every two years' pattern. Expect Uncharted 2 to be released Christmas 09.
tmacairjordan87 @ Dec 1st 2008 6:38PM
Good to know. I don't need to wait 3 years for this like I did with Killzone 2.
=Curve= @ Dec 1st 2008 7:50PM
When did they reveal the first game?
I don't think they will wait until Christmas time for this game, releasing info almost a year early.
At least I hope it releases soon.
Hyams @ Dec 1st 2008 8:01PM
First game was revealed at E3 '06, and the game release over a year later, in Dec '07.
Miguel @ Dec 1st 2008 5:51PM
too sweeeeeeet
whymog @ Dec 1st 2008 5:54PM
Bought a PS3 for MGS4, kept it for Uncharted. I really can't wait for the sequel. :D
My Name @ Dec 1st 2008 5:58PM
This just made my day.
PSN: Erdie @ Dec 1st 2008 8:57PM
Me too, dude. Me too.
Carl @ Dec 1st 2008 6:01PM
I can't wait for this game! Loved the first one. Did anyone notice the artifact he picked up looked just like the knife from the gawd aweful movie "The Shadow"?
jinn35 @ Dec 1st 2008 6:03PM
I think Trev noticed.
Trev @ Dec 1st 2008 5:59PM
Love Uncharted, no doubt that I'll love Uncharted 2.
Anyone else think it looks like Nathan found the knife from the '94 The Shadow movie?
el serpiente @ Dec 1st 2008 6:53PM
No, that's the Ajanti dagger from 'The Golden Child'.

Let us pray for an Eddie Murphy cameo...
JoeTheBlow @ Dec 2nd 2008 4:42AM
YES!
It is SO obviously Pumba, the brain-controlled blade o death.
I wonder if anyone will fly it around with their mind.
xGeneral DEATHx (Mr ESC Welcome Back Party Ultimate Mega Action Force) @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:36AM
"Look at you, you can't even control yourself...how do you expect to control the Purba?!"
-I actually liked that movie.
j.howlett @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:46AM
i liked that shadow movie also and the golden child was good, did you know the little boy was played by a little girl
Robobagins @ Dec 1st 2008 6:03PM
Hell Yeah! In my mind Indiana Jones stopped at the Last Crusade and picked up at Uncharted! Woo I love me some Uncharted.
Ihavepants @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:17AM
Woo I love me some Last Crusade, it's my favourite Indiana Jones movie simply because it has Sean Connery in it. That man is awesome.
=Curve= @ Dec 1st 2008 6:04PM
YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!.

Drake seems to have bulked up a bit and grown a nice beard.
And watching the trailer, it seems something happened to make him bloody (look at his left, our right, cheek).
OMG! Did not expect this at all.
Strategy_Panda (the artist formally known as Titanium_Orchid) @ Dec 1st 2008 6:15PM
beefcake....
BEEFCAAAKEEEEE
Popfrogs @ Dec 1st 2008 6:29PM
His left cheek? How about the gaping wound under his shirt that bloodied up his left thigh? He has definitely been through some hard times to wind up in the mountains.
Maic @ Dec 1st 2008 8:12PM
Blood? The guy is almost naked in the middle of a storm, he has tops 10 minutes before he can take his own ear and eat it as a frosted chip.
fodder @ Dec 1st 2008 6:04PM
Geez. I hope he fully tucks his shirt.
Hyams @ Dec 1st 2008 6:06PM
Wow, I didn't realise Uncharted had such a loyal following now days.
All I remember of the origional's pre-release was what all the haters were saying. :S
JoeTheBlow @ Dec 2nd 2008 4:46AM
Thats cos the demo sucked.
Once you've played through the full game you are left with a warm, fuzzy feeling, and a desperate need to know whats next for Nathan and Elena.
Certainly a game with legs, i still recommend it to new PS3 owners.
DAY ONE!
Sheppy (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:04AM
No, it's just because it's an old enough game there is no point for the trolls to bash it anymore. They're currently hammering away on Little Big Planet and Killzone 2. In about 8 months, it'll be safe to like Little Big planet in certain company as well.
xGeneral DEATHx (Mr ESC Welcome Back Party Ultimate Mega Action Force) @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:42AM
I loved Uncharted, though sadly I have not finished it yet...too many good games, and not enough time. I will say this for Uncharted: It's the first game for my PS3 that I actually enjoyed picking up again and again after I got it. :-)
-slycooper_rocker- (lorddshadow the amazing) psn: shahanasalam @ Dec 1st 2008 6:07PM
:O
that was cool. but why is he complaining? he's the one stupid enough not to wear a jacket in the freakin' arctic! hypothermia =/= badass.
Lionbacker @ Dec 1st 2008 6:11PM
However...
Nathan Drake carries an insane amount of badass points. Even if he was in a viva-pinata esque gardening game, he'd STILL BE A FUCKING BADASS!!!!
Hyams @ Dec 1st 2008 6:11PM
I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say he fell out a train of some sort.

Strategy_Panda (the artist formally known as Titanium_Orchid) @ Dec 1st 2008 6:12PM
he is complaining because he's hurt. Notice the way he holds the side of his body, his slight limp and the fact that he is bloodied.
=Curve= @ Dec 1st 2008 6:14PM
I think he was dropped off, beaten, or something crashed and he was recovering/found the object.

There is blood on his hands, forearms, leg (and in the snow) not to mention his face.
Haggard @ Dec 1st 2008 6:20PM
Yeah, blood splatters the ground when he drops to his knees. That's some serious business.
Brent @ Dec 1st 2008 7:59PM
Looks like a bad case of frostbite to me.
