Ben-DutkaNaughty Dog has taken home a truckload of awards for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves , which is arguably the greatest game of the generation (note I said "arguably," MGS4 fans).
But just because they're the toast of the developer town doesn't mean they're all in Maui or Honolulu, enjoying a much-deserved break. Well, maybe they did do that but now, it appears they're back to work and likely cranking away on a third Uncharted installment. As noted by GameGuru , the LinkedIn profile for Animator David Lam shows he's currently working with Naughty Dog on an "Unannounced Project." For the record, Lam worked on Uncharted 2 and Halo 3: ODST last year, so it would make perfect sense for him to return. Who wouldn't want to be working for Naughty Dog right now? This comes hot on the heels of learning that an ex- Tomb Raider designer had also signed on with the talented development team to work on a particular project. It seems very likely that it's Uncharted 3 ; even if they wanted to do something else, we can imagine Sony's insistence that a third installment is absolutely necessary. So might we start seeing info as soon as this year's holiday season…?
We just hope they take their time and do it correctly; we don't need an annual title like Call of Duty or Madden . Really, let's not rush 'em. Uncharted must remain nigh-on flawless!
1 – GOW3
2 – Uncharted 2
3 – MGS4
I hope Naughty Dog is. I would love to play Uncharted 3 Christmas 2011!!
My exact list only in reverse.
Syill haven't picked up my GOW3. I have it on reserve just haven't found time yet.
Know whats funny? I've been a MGS fan for quite a while yet i've only played the first game. I actually own 1,2 and 3 and haven't picked up 4 yet. My excuse? None really except for the fact that there are so many good games now and they're side tracking me.
I loved Uncharted 2. Nearly smashed the trophies but i can't ever seem to get that damn Steel Fist Expert trophie and its really bogging me down.
If they're coming out with Uncharted 3 then I better get on the first Uncharted. Never played the first game.
the Fist of Steal is easiest on The Dig chapter.
Thanks Jawknee. Is there specific difficulty if should try for? I've found that it takes more or less shots to soften up enemies depending on the difficulty level you choose.
What Jawknee said..
You probably already know this, but….remember to set the difficulty on Easy for that trophy (actually set the difficulty to easy for many of the trophies, no point in battering your head off the wall on hard mode if you don't have to).
Yea i did it on Easy. just figure out how many shots it takes to kill them, then shoot then one less. Aim for their arms and legs.
Thanks Jawknee, Highlander.
The only other thing that got me confused is that sometimes Drake will slide under the enemy and punch or jump and kick them. Does it have to be a 1 punch knockout only?
Those count too. You just have to wound them enough with your gun so that when you use the melee attack they go down in one hit.
That was by far the hardest trophy. But then again, Lazarevic on crushing did make me want to throw things…
Lazarevic on crushing made me want to hurt things, including my PS3, so I looked up a video and found out how to do it without committing PS3 murder.
That steel fist trophy was my last trophy, got it like on the ground part before the hotel, put it on easy and slo-mo, after 3 or 4 tries I got it.
That Lazaravic battle on crushing pissed me off friggin bad, after like ten minutes I too used that method Highlander, and I openly admit to it. i take my hat off to anyone who actually beat him without the "cheap" method, and I don't even have a hat.

I don't see ND working on anything else but U3 for the time being. The Uncharted games have just recently hit their stride. Gotta strike the iron while its hot, know what I mean?
This is way off topic, but anyone remember Bloody Roar?
I miss that series.
I remember it but I'm not big on fighting games.
Damn, I got to hurry up and start playing the Uncharted series. Loved the jak series, heck I would love to see a jak game coming out for the PS3.
Take their time? I sure hope not! They've got a kick ass engine. All they need now is a great story, the environments and voice talent. If they can make three kick ass LotR movies in as many years, ND can do it with UC.
Damn straight they are working on Ucharted 3. We need a GOTY 2010.
Hello …………………… GOW III
I meant 2011. Stupid fat fingers…
"Demon Dog" says…
"Any Dawg that is that Naughty, is a friend of his"
Bring it, ND!!!
YES! the needle wielding chiwawa is back!
Holy Heroin
Jaw, that looks more like a pistol packin' poodle to me….
::flees::
ha!
I wonder how can they top Uncharted 2 with Uncharted 3? I'm very much looking forward to it.
If I can get my PS3 to read discs by then I'll pick it up.
MGS4>UC2>AC2>Any other game on the PS3 > Any game on the 360.
yep.
Am I the only one who is extremely intrigued to see the new characters they add to the game? 🙂
Seriously, I can't wait to see what the new plot will be and in what impossible situation it places him in.
Naughty Dog along with Konami and Polyphony have been the only three companies I could ALWAYS rely on on for 3 Playstation generations!
Hope they give us at least a teaser at E3, but if not that's ok.

What has polyphony put out? it sounds familiar.
grand touringshcmo
If I can be so bold, could I request ND add more Sully in the 3rd one?
sully? but he's getting to old for this, kid
I second this motion for more Victor "GODDAMN" Sullivan!
my bad i was thinking of Spyro and not Sly Cooper as earlier stated 🙁
I'm already looking forward to it, can't wait what awesome scenarios they create this time, and I really don't know how they want to surpass UC2, ultra super mega extra polished graphics, longer and better story and plot and uhm… yeah, that's about it. Oh wait, more Chloe, less clothing on Chloe. Also more Sully, not less clothing on him though.
I dont think Naughty Dog would rush a 3rd installment. They way they kept UC2 hush hush will likely be the same scenario, so my guess is if they are indeed working on development for a thrid, we will be lucky to hear anything this year! So i definaitely want that luck to come our way!
And what about the GOW fans? Personally my mind changes daily on which game is my personal fav. this gen. Before GOW3 it was def. UC2, and before that it was MGS4, theres a trend here…

NO, ND, NO!
GO BACK AND GIVE YOUR FANS WHAT THEY WANT!!!!!
i swear to god if psm3 was just teasing me, and crash bandicoot is not getting a remake i cant be held responsible for my actions!
must i get a wii to enjoy proper old styled 2D platformers?
why is it the wii is the only console thats getting 2D platformers?
i was watching xplay today and they showed 4 2D platformers releasing in summer this year and they all were exclusive to wii.
2D platforming is patented to the wii is it?
hello …
i've just re-started UC1 & never played UC2 SP, just one hour of MP on it, so ND you can take all your time, there's no fire 😉
I'm overhype though about a third installment but would also love any new IP.
too bad there are some great titles coming on the other side too & i don't have my new PC yet.
that's weird, i can't get myself to love mgs4, i tried the demo & kept thinking why would i buy this, even if the actual price is good. i will give it another try & really hope to like it, i love the concept behind & i'm sure the demo doesn't do the game justice.
cheers!
Uncharted 1 in 2007, Uncharted 2 in 2009, Maybe Uncharted 3 in 2011?
I see UNCHARTED 3 coming maybe October or November 2011 or early 2012. The third installment always takes way longer. The only thing maybe this year is a teaser trailer or some info nothing more. And i bet for sure the project is the third installment of the UNCHARTED series.
