Uncharted 2 sells 1 million copies
While Modern Warfare 2 is ravaging the sales charts these days, Sony quietly announced (and what better time to announce it) that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has sold over 1 million units on the PS3. However, the number isn’t confirmed with NPD, so we’ll see how much truth there is to it. But for a game of Uncharted 2’s quality not to already sell a million copies, being the most anticipated PS3 title this holiday season, would be a bit disappointing.

Sony releases new Uncharted 2 commercial
Just in case there wasn’t enough hype already surrounding Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Sony and Naughty Dog have released the above 15 second commercial showcasing the title.
Of course, there isn’t really anything we didn’t already know featured in the video other than a few clips of gameplay but it’s nice to watch anyways, especially if you’re anticipating the game.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will hit store shelves exclusively for the PS3 on October 13th.
Naughty Dog giving away Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter edition to beta testers
Naughty Dog has recently announced a new incentive for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves beta testers. If you can’t guess from the above picture, they are holding a contest that will give a lucky beta tester a full copy of the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter edition.
In fact, they are giving out 10 copies per day until the game is released and all you have to do to enter is hop online in the multiplayer beta this weekend.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be out exclusively for the PS3 on October 13th.
Naughty Dog hints at future Uncharted 2 DLC, future Uncharted titles
During an interview with Eurogamer Justin Richmond, multiplayer designer over at Naughty Dog, spoke of future DLC we will be seeing for the highly anticipated Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Below is a quote from Richmond giving us a hint at the DLC’s contents:
“What you’ll probably see is more of the competitive type: more maps, more modes, stuff like that. The co-op stuff is hugely time-intensive and the size of it – the physical download size – is huge, so that’s probably not an option.
Naughty Dog community head Arne Meyer adds:
“We definitely think of Uncharted as a franchise and we’d love to work on another one. But it’s really about what is fresh and what we want to do next.”
So in other words, how well Uncharted 2: Among Thieves sells when it hits store shelves for the Playstation 3 on October 13th.
Uncharted 2 Twitter feature gets disabled for the time being
A few weeks ago it was made known that Uncharted 2 would feature the ability to update your Twitter feed when you recieved a Trophy, connected to a multiplayer game and more.
In theory, this sounds like a good idea, but someone following an Uncharted 2 fiend would undoubtedly get ridiculous annoyed. Naughty Dog seems to have taken note of this, issuing the below statement:
“Some reviewers have had early access to the game and selected the option to update their Twitter accounts as they completed each chapter of the game. This has resulted in some Twitter feeds being updated multiple times an hour. We obviously want to provide the best experience for everybody, so for the time being we’ve disabled Twitter updates on chapter completions. The option will still exist in the menus when the game ships on 10/13, but if activated, it will do nothing. Some time after the game has shipped, we’ll release a patch to reactivate the feature, but with a limit on the frequency of updates.”

Public Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta available today
Naughty Dog has recently announced that that public multiplayer beta for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be made available on the PlayStation Network at some point today.
According to the PlayStation blog, 4 maps, 4 competitive modes and 2 co-operative modes in addition to Cinema for replay viewing and a Stage map for machinima making will be included with the 1.3GB multiplayer demo.

Uncharted 2 to feature Twitter compatibility
Now here’s an idea — It was recently discovered that Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will feature out of the box Twitter compatibility. No, you won’t be able to manually update your Twitter feed from in the game but instead, if you opt for it, the game will send out periodical tweets showing your followers when you have obtained a new Trophy, completed a single-player mission or even connect to a multiplayer game.
This probably isn’t the most exciting feature out there but for you avid Twitter users who feel the need to keep the world updated of your every action, this may be a god send.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will hit store shelves exclusively for the Playstation 3 on October 13th, 2009.

Uncharted developers offer game’s source code to first-party devs
Naughty Dog is looking to really further the Playstation 3’s development, recently announcing that they will make the entire source code for Uncharted available to all of Sony’s first-party developers.
Evan Wells, co-president of Naughty Dog, said the following:
“We’re very fortunate to have a great group of first party developers within Sony that we’re able to collaborate with. We’re frequently exchanging technical ideas and even share some code from time to time. We’ve even posted the entire source code of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune to Sony’s internal severs so that any first party developer can look through it, or borrow from it and we plan on doing the same thing when Uncharted 2 ships.”
Let’s hope that Naughty Dog’s contribution to the community will help other game developers get their games on par, at least graphically, with Uncharted.

First HD look at Uncharted 2
The Uncharted series is one of those series that makes the PS3 what it is, you know, like Uncharted is to the PS3 as Halo is to the Xbox 360. Okay, not really, but you get the point.
Anyways, Naughty Dog has just released the above video giving us the first look at what the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves singleplayer gameplay will look like. The visuals are absolutely stunning not to mention the ingame physics but take a look at the video and see for yourself.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is currently slated for a Fall 2009 release as a Playstation 3 exclusive.
UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves definitely shipping with multiplayer
As the inFamous pre-order box suggested, UNCHARTED 2 will in fact feature multiplayer — This information was recently announced by Sony over at their Playstation Blog where they state the game will feature both multiplayer and co-op game modes.
And to top it all off, that beta voucher you’ll get when you pre-order inFamous will be put to use on June 3rd when UNCHARTED 2’s multiplayer beta goes live.
Check out the above trailer showcasing the game’s multiplayer effectively confirming that this game will kick major ass.
Pre-order inFamous, get access to Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta
The above picture of an inFamous pre-order box, taken at Best Buy, has been circulating the internet — As you can see, when you pre-order the game you will get access to now one, but two downloadable demos.

Uncharted 2 multiplayer revealed
Kotaku has revealed that pre-orders of inFamous will carry a multiplayer beta key to Uncharted 2, much as Crackdown did with the multiplayer beta of Halo 3. A sticker on the new placeholder boxes at Best Buy revealed the news — the placeholder boxes aren’t supposed to be revealed until next week, but that’s the thing about leaks…
The addition of a multiplayer element to an already great single player game is certainly welcomed by fans of the original Uncharted game. The sequel, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, is set for release later this year.
