Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Promises Innovative Sand
Details have started to emerge about Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Naughty Dog’s third adventure for the stubbly treasure hunter, in advance of the game’s unveil at Spike’s VGA awards this weekend.
His third adventure sees Drake and company set off to the Arabian Desert where they are searching for the ‘Atlantis of the Sands’. This adventure turns predictably sour and Nathan soon finds himself in a bid for survival against his deepest fears.
Developers Naughty Dog are touting numerous improvements, such as improved hand-to-hand melee combat and better stealth options alongside an improved multiplayer suite.
We’re also promised ‘innovations’ in sand, fire, smoke, and water dynamics and effects, as well as being playable in 3D.
Uncharted is easily one of the best series this generation, even if it does lean a little too heavily on the ideas of scripted cinematic action so much that you do wonder why it’s game and not a movie.
3D graphics we’ll leave till we see them and stealth mechanics, improved or not, give us as a shudder of unease…
Aside from these bugbears we can only hope that multiplayer hasn’t become too important for Naughty Dog, and that we still get a beastly single player campaign that we expect from the franchise.
