Naughty Dog explains why they thanked Bungie and others

Naughty Dog gave their thanks to other development studios during the closing credits of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The most surprising of which was Bungie, developer of the Halo series for the Xbox systems.

During a live chat session with fans, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann explained why they choose to thanked Bungie and other development studios:

Re: thanking other developers. We try to be quite open with our technology and our process. We exchanged technology and ideas with other developers. We wanted to make sure we thanked everyone that helped us out in some way.

It seems quite a bit unusual seeing two exclusive developers for rival systems exchanging ideas and technology with each other. However, the exchange is working out quite well for both developers since Halo 3: ODST for the Xbox 360 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for the Playstation 3 are two of the most acclaimed games of 2009 so far.

Drake's Voice Actor Says Jackman's the Man

In a podcast interview, Nolan North, the voice of Nathan Drake, indicated that Hugh Jackman is the preferred actor - by producers - for the upcoming Uncharted movie.

Desmond - er, Drake - er, North - told the Official Playstation Magazine UK's podcast that not only is Jackman who he'd like to see take on the treasure hunters role, but the film's producers agree too.

Jackman is who I'd like to see. I think the producers would like to see Jackman too, because he has that tough guy exterior, but [...] there's also a lot going on behind his eyes. A lot of emotion and sensitivity on that brusque exterior, and he has great comic timing. He's a phenomenal actor. I just hope I get a part on the movie so I can work with Hugh."

For his part, North said he'd of course "love to do the movie; obviously I'd love to do it as Nathan Drake," however, "I've done film and television and I understand the reality of the business."

More Uncharted 2 Co-Op? Certainly Sounds Like It

Uncharted 2's co-op play seemed to go down well with players, so it's only natural to see developers Naughty Dog talking about adding even more to the game via downloadable content.

Speaking with G4, Naughty Dog's Evan Wells has said "So for future DLC, could we add more co-op? Probably more in the arena-style type of gameplay, like our Survival and our Gold Rush modes."

"The objective-style co-op that we have where we have those little narrative moments...it's something that we are considering and we'd really like to do, but it's a much, much bigger investment of time because we have to do a lot of motion capture with the actors and record a lot of voices. So we would absolutely want make sure that we talk to our community and make sure there was the proper demand for it."

So come 2010, you'll probably get more co-op. You may even get more story-driven co-op. Merry Christmas, Uncharted 2 fans.

Uncharted 2 skins DLC confirmed

The downloadable add-on for Uncharted 2 revealed by Sony Japan last week has been confirmed for worldwide release, although it's not free as was originally reported.

It will, however, feature the skins based on characters from Sony stable-mates Killzone 2, Resistance 2 and InFamous for use in multiplayer that we saw in those screens.

The PlayStation Heroes Skin Pack will be released alongside a demo of the game in this week's PSN updated on Thursday, 28th January. It will cost $4.99 / £3.99 / €4.99, according to the PlayStation blog. It contains seven skins: good Cole, evil Cole and Zeke from inFamous, Sgt Nathan Hale or a Chimera Hybrid from Resistance, and a Helghast Trooper and Tomas Sevchenko from Killzone 2.

There's no word on the other updates mentioned by Sony Japan - reportedly maps and skins adapted from Uncharted 1 due on 25th February, and a co-op mode with new maps and skins on 15th April. Naughty Dog did say that some of the news was "inaccurate" when it was reported on Friday.

I always care for Crak. I know I'll love the game, whenever I get around to actually playing it.

Are you to the 'fountain' section yet? This was a section specifically mentioned by ND as not having enough polish on it in that they don't really tell you what you need to do after you get to the fountain. If you need help hear, just give me a shout.
