[size=+1]Uncharted 3 set in the desert – report News [/size]

Uncharted 3 – heavily rumoured for a reveal at the Spike Video Game Awards next month – is set in the desert according to Kotaku.

Although which of the world\'s many deserts the game is set in is unknown, Kotaku suggests an African desert. Raiders of the Lost Ark anyone?

The rumoured setting, if correct, would follow South American jungles in Uncharted and the Himalayas in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Last week we heard whispers of Sony\'s plan to unveil a PlayStation 3 exclusive the day after the VGAs – and those whispers made the sound of Uncharted 3.

In January Nolan North, the voice of Uncharted protagonist Nathan Drake, hinted that production on the game would begin this year.

And in September last year Naughty Dog creative director Amy Hennig expressed her belief that the Uncharted series had the potential to run and run, long past Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

"Our expectation with Uncharted is that it can be an ongoing franchise as long as people want more of it," she said.

"[Drake\'s] going to have lots of adventures, thank god."

Sounds awesome. Hopefully they do some cool things with sand physics. Spec Ops looks like a mediocre game, but their use of having the terrain change because of the sand being moved around showed some cool possibilities in gameplay that havent been messed with before.

I was a LOT bigger on the SP of UC2 so thats my main draw of the game. I played a bit of coop but ended up not putting that much time in MP as I was hoping for one reason or another...Part of it is sony needs to make a few things easier online like better use of headsets and a better voice chat system

I don\'t think they can do much with sand anymore than they did with the snow physics in prt2...in most games there\'s pretty much no difference than the color and that the sand textures are a bit more grainy....

It\'s a given the game will be a great experience tho...i\'m not sure what else they can do to improve the game without mucking it up....i like the controls, the graphics are fine...i only see them running into problems in the future in trying to map out new locations...

They honestly don\'t really need do much, if anything to the gameplay. Just give me a new story and I\'m happy.

[size=+1]\'Uncharted\' exclusive: Your first look at 2011\'s must-play videogame \'Uncharted 3: Drake\'s Deception\'[/size]

Here’s what we can tell you: First off, obviously the title is not “Uncharted 3: World of Deceit,” as has been rumored here and there on the Internet. Still: Good guessing with the “deceit” thing. According to Naughty Dog’s creative director Amy Hennig, the theme of deception plays out in multiple ways throughout the threequel, from Drake doing the deceiving to Drake being deceived to some mysterious deception about Drake’s very identity. The story focuses on the hero’s relationship with his mentor and father figure, fan fave Victor “Sully” Sullivan, and has him searching for a legendary lost city that will ultimately take him to the Arabian Peninsula and the vast wasteland of the Rub’ al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter. (Said legendary lost city has been known by various names, including “Iram of the Pillars” and the “Atlantis of the Sands”;

Uncharted likes to keep one foot (or at least a toe) grounded in history (Nathan’s ancestor is the British pirate, explorer and Navy officer Sir Francis Drake) and the plot of Uncharted 3 draws more from Drake’s exploits as well as from the life of T.E. Lawrence — not from his militant days as the fabled “Lawrence of Arabia,” but rather the Brit’s early years as an archaeologist. The inspiration for the story, says Hennig, came from Naughty Dog’s desire to take on the challenge of conceiving and building out gameplay scenarios within a desert locale — “challenge,” because organic elements like water, fire and sand are technically difficult to credibly render with animation. Says Hennig: “When we first came up with the idea of sand, you see everyone’s eyes light up here and go, ‘Yeah, that’s going to be really hard — let’s do it!’” Adds Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells: “We’re a bunch of nerds. We just look for something that will be a technical, artistic challenge, and allowed us to push into an area of the world and history we’ve never tapped into before.”

Uncharted 3 — which aspires to be an “interactive cinematic experience,” says Hennig, marked with character-driven storytelling — will also make more expansive use of motion-capture filmmaking techniques (think: the way James Cameron shot Avatar) that will enhance the quality of character performance. (In fact, Naughty Dog’s new Santa Monica digs includes its own mo-cap studio.) The execs at Naughty Dog walked us through one of the game’s levels, and while we can’t tell you anything about the locale (it actually wasn’t the desert), we can tell you that it was quintessential Uncharted, marked by dynamic camera work and gameplay that requires you to jump and climb through treacherous spaces that are in an almost constant state of change — or in this case, catastrophic collapse. Innovations? Several, including enhanced backward climbing and the ability to fight multiple baddies at once. Finally, Wells stressed that much time and effort is being lavished upon expanding Uncharted’s online multiplayer and co-op capabilities, too; expect more details to come in the coming months. Doing so gives the consumer more value for their entertainment dollar — especially in a weak economy, and especially among videogame consumers more prone to buying just a few games a year. It also creates a market for additional downloadable content for purchase (Uncharted zombie maps, anyone?), and cultivates an avid community of what Wells calls “evangelists” that can help create buzz future products. “We want to take on the big boys of the multi-player genre,” says Wells, no doubt alluding to multiplayer giants Call of Duty and Halo. “It has become something here at Naughty Dog that will become an important part to all our games.”
