Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Sony and game developer Naughty Dog have launched the official site for the third installment of the Uncharted series, "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception," and they're already accepting pre-orders.

Available next year, the game, which will be sold exclusively for the PlayStation 3, continues the saga of Nathan Drake as he travels across the Arabian desert in search of a lost city. Sony said that "Uncharted 3" features evolved play, with "hand-to-hand combat with multiple opponents, contextual melee attacks, and new stealth options" as well as "expanded and diverse traversal moves with deeper gunplay."

Pre-orders are available via Amazon for $59.99. The site says the game will be released on November 1, 2011."'Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception' continues to evolve the core principles we laid out for the Uncharted franchise, most important of which is creating an unmatched and extremely compelling interactive cinematic experience," PlayStation said in a blog post. "In addition to having a compelling story and authentic characters that all of our fans can relate to as key facets to creating this type of experience, we push ourselves and the capability of the PlayStation hardware through constantly redefined gameplay mechanics and technology innovation."

It's been almost exactly a year since "Uncharted 2" launched featuring a multi-player option for the first time. According to Entertainment Weekly, which broke the story on Friday, it has since sold more than 3.8 million copies worldwide.

"We want top take on the big boys of the multi-player genre," Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells told EW. "It has become something here at Naughty Dog that will become an important part of all our games."

The game will be available in Stereoscopic high-resolution 3D, but both Sony and Naughty Dog are keeping mum on most of the other details. But Naughty Dog director Amy Hennig gave EW some insight into the reason behind the setting. "Uncharted: 3" took Drake and his mentor Victor "Sully" Sullivan into the desert partially due to the technical and artistic challenge of designing a realistic desert environment.

The "Uncharted" series is also about to go mainstream. Columbia Pictures is producing a feature film that EW said will star Mark Wahlberg, and a Nathan Drake novel will hit shelves around the time the game is released.

Release Date: November 1, 2011

no too long i think this crazy we gamer need stop them making game so fast before get cookie cutter crap all the time

the graphics of this game PWNS! UC3=game of the year(2011)

The trailer looks sick, PS3 gamer devs are definitely stepping up their game in terms of great quality graphics. Uncharted is like this generations Tomb Raider. Naughty Dog Studios work closely with Insomniac Games and both companies are always bringing us epic adventures with multiple sagas of great stories. From Crash Bandicoot to Jak & Daxter, and now Uncharted series, Naughty Dog Studios has come a long way.

By now, you’ve no doubt seen the first UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception trailer (along with the 11-1-11 release date) at the Spike Video Game Awards. You might’ve even seen a bit of the game in action on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Today, even more came out about UNCHARTED 3, as Naughty Dog and SCEA hosted media in Hollywood for a more in-depth look at the game.

Worry not, those of you who feared the entirety of Drake’s Deception would take place in the swirling sands of the Rub’ al-Khali Desert. The scene we witnessed (demoed in real time) took place in a dilapidated French chateau. Nathan Drake and Sully are following the trail of T.E. Lawrence (you’ve likely heard of “Lawrence of Arabia”) to find a clue that’ll take them to the lost Arabian referred to as “The Atlantis of the Sands.”

Before reading on, take a look at this excerpt, which shows about a quarter of what was demoed.
