E3 2011: Uncharted 3 Demo At Sony Event

This is a post from Ps3 Maven who bring you the best play station 3, Games, Mods and News.

Uncharted 3 started off Sony’s E3 press conference with a bang! All thanks to an awesome demo that you’ve got to see.

What better way to start off a show, especially one at the E3, but to pull out the big guns. Pew, pew, pew! And for this occasion, Sony’s weapon of choice was an excellent demo for the upcoming Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception — Naughty Dog’s next action-adventure title featuring that scrappy treasure-hunter Nathan Drake.

There to present the demo was Evan Wells and Christophe Balestra from Naught Dog, who without much chit-chat got into the presentation — showing our hero Drake beginning his quest on a cruise ship that looked quite abandoned as a fun-family vacationing vessel and was now a creepy run-downed we’re probably doing really bad things here transport.

Stealthy like a gun-wielding ninja, Drake proceeds through the night-time rainy outer confines of the level into the inner guards-filled quarters of the cruise ship, silently taking down every baddy in his way by using cover to surprise his opponents. It was a stretch of moments that honestly was so bad ass, yet that bad ass-ness would be kicked up a notch in a matter of minuets.

Soon enough, Drake makes his way into a large cargo hold filled with giant rectangular crates — nothing really out of the ordinary, well except for amazing amounts of detail the Naughty Dog team put into the level (really, the whole level was fantastic in that regard.) Then, Drake at one point soon finds himself in a pinch, as a group of guards corners him before he has a chance to find a way out of the cargo hold.

Tight fixes like these would probably do in the least experienced of treasure trackers, but not for our main-bro Drake, as he then whips out a grenade to take out the guard, and with his pistol, aim-fully shoots down a few guards up on the ledge. Bad ass-ness at max achieved! It’s moments like this that makes the Uncharted series so great to play — action scenes that look ripped from the big screen.

I won’t spoil the rest and I’ll let you see how Drake is able to escape this “sinking” situation in the video below.

Before I let you go, allow me some geek-time to tell you how genius the physics engine for this Uncharted 3 is shaping up. Just think of all complicated processes that had go into creating a presumably very large swaying cruise ship in the middle of an ocean that actually has an effect on how Drake walks through the level — man that is so boss.

Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception hits retailers on November 1, 2011, with multiplayer options a plenty.

Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta Starts In Late June

Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta Starts In Late June

This is a post from Ps3 Maven who bring you the best play station 3, Games, Mods and News.

In late June, developer Naughty Dog unleashes the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception multiplayer beta — read on to find out what’s in store for gamers when it does.

Six months is a heck of a long time just to play Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, the third chapter in Nathan Drake’s treasure-seeking adventures. Gladly series developer Naughty Dog happens to think so too, because soon enough gamers will be able to take an early crack at the PlayStation 3 exclusive game through the release of the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception multiplayer beta that drops June 28.

This isn’t a measly slice of the game’s multiplayer either – the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta is remarkably jammed pack with content, including 9 – count it – 9 whole individual modes to play. Only six multiplayer modes have been revealed in-depth so far, with the last three, being co-op based, that have yet to be fully disclosed by Naughty Dog – for now though, here’s the current list:

Team Deathmatch
Three Team Deathmatch – Same deathmatch, but with 3 teams of 2 members each
Team Objective
Plunder – A capture the treasure mode
High Stakes – Where players gamble with XP and cash to win matches
Free For All

All online modes from the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta will take place on two multi-level stages, either an giant airfield or a French chateau. Both have real-time elements during matches that give every battle that nice adrenaline kick – the airfield has actual cargo planes taking off and landing, while the chateau level has collapsing buildings that lay waste to the arena.

There are also a lot of perks and abilities for beta users to earn to gain a distinct advantage on the battlefield. One such match-changing ability are the recently detailed power plays, where if a losing team is in last-second desperate need for points, activating this one-minute event – say marking a player with bonus points if killed or exposing the winning team’s location – can turn the tide in a dime.

You’ll also be able to have the option to play as Nathan Drake or his salty-dog mentor Victor “Sully” Sullivan, but you can also create your own unique combatant through the multiplayer’s own character creation tool and design a unique mercenary to the best of your imagination (…yeesh, I can see juvenile monstrosities already.)

If all this sounds pound-for-pound like an awesome time, you won’t have to wait too long to try out the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta. The online shootouts over the PlayStation Network will start on June 28 for gamers who pick up a brand new copy of inFamous 2 (that comes with a voucher) and PlayStation Plus members.

For everyone else, the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta opens for the public on July 4 (U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!) and ends on ends July 13 — you’ll only have about week (two weeks if you get early access) to have fun, so drink it up big till it lasts, because afterwards it’ll be a grueling wait til the real thing hits retailers November 1, 2011.
