Uncharted 3:  Drake's Deceptio

Author:  Ms. H, Mom's Minute

This news article comes to you thanks to a television commercial I saw that I thought was a coming attraction, or preview for a movie.  I was surprised to find that it was actually a commercial about the video game,  Uncharted 3.  The scene shown was action packed and kept my attention throughout.

As a resource for additional information on Uncharted 3, I  used Wikipedia. My other usual sources for video game news  were dated months ago, so it looks like talk about Uncharted 3 has been going on for some time now. In fact,  I found out that this game, or a version of it was played on several late night television talk shows.

So what is the news here?  The news is that Uncharted 3 for the U.S. will be released on November 1, 2011.  Europe's version will be released  on November 2, 2011, and  Australia's version will be released on November 3, 2011.

Here is a picture of the expected video game covers (back and front)  of Uncharted 3 distributed by Sony for the PlayStation 3 game system.

According to the developer, Naughty Dog, Uncharted 3 for the PlayStation 3 will have lots of changes. Some of the changes from the previous version  are characters will have additional weapons, there will be puzzle solving, 3D, as well as the option to make up your own Drake character.

For the multiplayer option, new players can join you, regardless of where you are in the game play. To extend the hours of game play, Uncharted 3 will also have Downloadable Code (DLC) available for purchase after the game is released.

Ms. H's take:   Regarding the graphics, the developer indicates the company was trying to give Uncharted 3 a movie-like quality. In my opinion,  the developer may have done just that. From what I saw in the commercial, I would be interested to  play this game and see the rest of the story line.

I recall playing an earlier version of Uncharted 3 and  I think I  that my opinion was that the graphics looked like regular video game graphics.  I plan to see Unchartered 3 graphics "in real life"  so I can let you  know what I think of the actual game, once I've played it.  With all the technology effects possible, I prefer to view the game itself instead of via a television commercial.  But from what I saw, I do not believe I will be disappointed with Uncharted 3 once it comes out.

Update!  Sony announced on September 22, 2011 that a bundle will be available which will include the PS3 console along with a copy of the Uncharted 3 video game.  Also if you purchase the bundle, you will receive a free month of PlayStation Plus.  Price quoted is $299.99.  Is this a good deal for you? 

 As stated above, Uncharted 3 will be in stores November 1, 2011.
