Who was there: From Naughty Dog there was creative director Amy Hennig, cinematic production lead Taylor Kurosaki, and lead cinematics animator Josh Scherr. These three were accompanied by members of the acting cast, including Nolan North, who plays Nathan Drake; Emily Rose, who does Elena Fisher; and Richard McGonagle, the actor behind Victor Sullivan.

What they talked about: While the panel was largely focused on the motion capture techniques behind the Uncharted series, one consistent theme was the importance of Naughty Dog’s collaborative spirit within everything the studio does. Hennig stressed early on that any member of the development team has to “check their ego at the door” when they come on board, which leads to an environment where staffers feel comfortable bouncing ideas off one another in a free-spirited work environment--an atmosphere that Naughty Dog has previously called “messy and chaotic in a good way.”

Nathan Drake voice actor Nolan North has announced he is currently writing up a book on the making of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

North, who offers his voice for other popular video game characters including the Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed's Desmond Miles, revealed the news during the Uncharted 3 San Diego Comic-Con panel yesterday. Apparently, it will be more like a yearbook than a technical behind-the-scenes read.

An interesting announcement, and we look forward to a bit more information. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception launches exclusively for PlayStation 3 on November 1. [SOURCE]
