Elena’s Voice Working On Uncharted 2 DLC, Not Uncharted 3

Any time we hear anything remotely related to the possibility of Uncharted 3 , our pulses start to race.

We're about 99.9999% sure it's coming, of course, but we're always looking to find evidence of early development at Naughty Dog. Eagle-eyed gamers everywhere keep a close eye on certain places where we could find potential info, and one of those places is the Twitter page for Emily Rose . Rose is the voice actress for series mainstay Elena Fisher, and the Tweet that turned heads is as follows:

"Landed in LALA land yesterday and already the schedule is a buzz…. filming my first Night show today 4 #HAVEN then work on #UNCHARTED!"

Yeah, that was enough to get the Uncharted 3 whispers rolling. Unfortunately, as Sony confirmed to Kotaku , Rose's work has nothing to do with the new Uncharted :

"Now that Emily is just back from filming Haven she will be working with [Uncharted development studio] Naughty Dog on some DLC content."

Bah. Maybe while she's doing that, she can start to handle just a few lines for Uncharted 3 . And if you're wondering why the hell Rose looks so much like Fisher, and why Nolan North looks a lot like Nathan Drake, and why Claudia Black looks a lot like Chloe Frazer, the answer should be obvious. Like some other projects ( Heavy Rain included), the designers got the actors first and then put their likenesses into the game.

You should see Rose and Black standing next to each other in real life. …little freaky.

So we could potentially got all of them in one film (were it to be made)? That's whack.

I just hope she returns for U3, you can't just switch up voices ya know *ahem Cole*

well, they can switch voice actors. but they'll face a hell of a backlash like they did when they introduced fratboy cole. i for one will be pissed if they switched voices for elena. i wonder if theres a next years model….

I can detect the slightest change in voices. It's a curse.

Gah! Oh well. I guess she'll be warmed up for some Uncharted 3 lines now.

"Elena, will you marry me?"

She doesn't have a line here, cause she's speechless. Cue audience reaction.

Too soon for Uncharted3, give it a couple more years I say.

I dont think its too soon to be working on 3. But my projection is we'll here something next year at GDC or E3, and well see at roughly holiday season of 2012. That's my guess anyways. Even if it showed up in 2011 thats a good 2 years between games, which is about the same time span between 1 and 2.

Good point, I guess what I meant was I don't want them to release it too soon. The gap between 1 and 2 is usually shorter than the gap between 2 and 3 in a series. You're right though it isn't too early to be working on it and I'm sure they are in some form.

Yea I hear ya. Anytime next year with the exception of late holiday season of 2011 is way too soon. I just assume since we have not heard much of anything about it, we will only hear about it next year.

They can take their time on this one!

I agree Vertigo. I love Uncharted 2, and it's one of favorite games. But I do not want to see Uncharted 3 yet.

Uncharted 2 DLC, you say?
I heard they were making some more Co-Op Objective DLC…but I heard that like a couple months ago, I think it was on this website to be exact.

Pretty excited for any news of uncharted 3! I want to hear something soon.

But any DLC for Uncharted 2 is always a good word to hear also! Love that game!

Voicework and DLC………..voicework and DLC………..

This must be a single player DLC.

When I first heard about her "tweet" I instantly thought they were working on new dlc. Its not the right time for UC3 just yet.

VO work generally takes place over a long period of time. They could easily have some of the scenes written and ready to be recorded by now, even if the game isn't due for over a year.

After all, they need to have something recorded for when they show demos of the game.

If this is single player content, then I'm interested. I don't really expect them to do that though.

Tes you'd be proud. I just bought Heavy Rain and 3D Dot Game Heroes off Amazon and they should be arriving by Thursday. I also took Saint up on his offer to ship me one of his games and I'm currently looking over his HUGE collection of PS3 games.

I haven't played 3D Dot Heroes. I'm not sure if I'd like something like that.

It'll take some time looking at his list of games.

Amazon is selling it brand new for $30. It's getting great user reviews and I really enjoyed the original Zelda so I think it's worth $30.

I'll let you know what I think of it and if you want to play it I can mail it to you when I'm done with it.

Us regulars really should start sharing games more, thus far its just been a Jawk, Saint, LV thing.

I may go ahead and take a look at it. $30 isn't too bad and I've been wanting to play something different.

I appreciate the offer.

If you liked old school Zelda even a little bit, I guarantee a blast with 3DDotGameHeroes. It is pure fan service.

Robochic,

Will you have a PS3 for when Eye Pet (finally) drops? I know you and your kids were really excited for it. If not, major bummer.

Huh, what? Okay first of all, Elena is damn near a dead ringer for the voice actor. I like it. Next, what kind of MP DLC would you need the voice actor for? I suppose it could be workable into objective based co-op, but it doesn't feel right. The only thing that makes sense to me is single player DLC, but that doesn't fit. Where would it belong in the game, unless it's focussing on what Elena was doing before she met up with Nate. That'd be cool I guess.

I hope it's just a Sony swerve so that they have a surprise for E3 next year. Not that it'd be much a surprise… Cat's out of the bag Sony, announce it… like… last week.
Peace.

If you look at the character model for Elena in the first Uncharted trailer, you can see how they later tweaked it to make her look more like Emily Rose.

2012 release date sounds perfect! There are so many other amazing titles being released in 2011 that even U3 might be given a run for its money! Don't deny it, that sweet smell of competition! "No necromorph…don't rip up the Helghan until you confirm there is a Last Guardian".

I'm just tossing this out there but what if it wasnt gameplay related at all. It could be for a motion comic like the previous eye of indra series. theres still the matter of what happened between elena and drake between the events of uncharted 1 and 2. they only said that shes working with naughty dog, no mention of uncharted 2. technically, motion comics are DLC. if it is a motion comic, i'll buy it. i enjoyed eye of indra, not to mention giving me exclusive multiplayer skins. so far, i only played with one person using rika raja and none using pinkerton.

one thing though, people are so excited about an uncharted 2 announcement but we all know its coming. Sony cant be that stupid and say 2 is enough when the game has a strong following. as for me i'll be waiting for some footage and the game to come out. no use thinking about waiting for an announcement i knew is already coming.

U2 GOTY edition?
come on, if borderlands and batman AA get a GOTY edition even though they were never given GOTY status than surely the game that was does!

Snaaaake

Haha true.

Seems like the term "GOTY Edition" is just some sub-title to let people know it's a re-release with extra content.

They do the same thing with movies. Look at all the director's cut/unrated cut versions of movies out there, usually old movies or bad movies.

It's unlikely to be Single player DLC guys. Naughty Dog would have to devote considerable resources for that, and those resources would be better directed towards a brand new Uncharted game. My guess is that Emily Rose is recording for some more co op objective levels or something similar

Anything announced by ND (whether it's U2 DLC, or a "misdirection" covering work on U3) makes me feel all happy and giddy.

By the title of the article at first I thought that she wasn't going to do the voice acting for UC3. You got me worried for a sec.

Clearly it would be single player content. Multiplayer only really needs a few grunts or two or three word phrases. Single Player DLC would be fabulous as a holderover for UC3. I definitely would buy quickly. On a side note, I hope they move away from the treasure hunting theme like the first two. Unless its something real creative and good. Kind of tired of the treasure hunting.

There are cut scenes in the co-op missions (though those may be stolen from the single-player missions; I haven't compared them).
