Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Influenced by Killzone

[weber_dubois22]

In an interview on GTTV regarding their upcoming game, Naughty Dog's Evan Wells has mentioned that Uncharted 3's multiplayer is similar to Killzone. Killzone 2 and 3 contain an online mode where the game loops through around 7 different game types. So rather than separating each mode, teams must try to win four of the seven games in order to win overall. Naughty Dog are taking a slightly different approach to the multiplayer, where there can be certain events called "power plays" that the trailing team can perform in order to take the lead:

"One of those power plays is called "marked man," during which one or two members on the leading team get marked, and if the trailing team can kill them, they'll get three points for that kill so it can help them catch up."

With E3 2011 fast approaching the rumour mills turning at full speed and the big players preparing their keynotes, the inescapable fact is that the gaming public purely wants to see some of the blockbuster titles for this year. One of these blockbusters is Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, and if it’s good, it may be able to deflect some of the current negative press surrounding the Sony camp.

The developers of the Uncharted series, Naughty Dog are unlikely to be worrying about the trials and tribulations of the Playstation Network however, they have devoted masses of time and energy to the latest instalment in an attempt to make it more than just another Uncharted game, but a defining moment for the franchise, the genre and the PS3 more widely.

Uncharted NGP set before first game, will 'most likely' have interaction with Uncharted 3

Uncharted NGP will “most likely” feature some form of interactivity with PlayStation 3 adventurer Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, says Naughty Dog. Speaking with GamesBlog.fr, co-president Christophe Balestra revealed that Drake’s portable outing will see a change of pace compared to its console counterparts, tipping the scales in favour of exploration over combat.

Meanwhile, the game’s story has seen conflicting reports. Balestra originally claimed that the game would be a “parallel” affair, set in between Drake’s Fortune and Among Thieves. He later backtracked however, confirming it will take place entirely before the original game. Sony is expected to take the wraps off NGP for a major showcase at E3 next month, so hopefully we’ll get more info in a couple of weeks time. Stay tuned. [SOURCE]
