Gameplay

Uncharted 2 will feature new gameplay mechanics, such as stealth action segments, and will change the climbing mechanic to allow free movement over walls, in a manner similar to Assassin's Creed.Nathan will be able to flip over certain pieces of furniture to use as cover. The game is also stated to have no loading screens. Nathan himself will have a darker side in this outing, and the player will learn what makes him a thief.

Uncharted 2 picks up a couple of years after the events of Drake's Fortune. Similar to the previous story, Nathan Drake’s (voiced by Nolan North) new adventure revolves around an unsolved historical mystery – this time surrounding Marco Polo and his doomed voyage home from China in 1292. After spending almost 20 years in the court of the emperor Kublai Khan, Marco Polo departed with 14 ships and over 600 passengers and crew – but when he arrived at his destination a year and a half later, only one ship remained, and only 18 of the passengers had survived. Although Marco Polo described almost every other aspect of his journeys in minute detail, he never revealed what happened to the ships that were lost.

Nathan, attracted by the potential treasure to be found and inspired by the intrigue around this historical mystery, embarks on a quest to find Marco Polo’s lost fleet. But he soon discovers that Marco Polo was hiding a much greater secret – he had gone on a secret expedition on behalf of the emperor to find the mythical kingdom of Shambhala, otherwise known as Shangri-La, and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone, the wish-fulfilling jewel of Buddhist mythology. The stone is described by Marco Polo as a massive raw sapphire which, if it truly exists, would be worth billions of dollars today. These discoveries set Nathan on a new course, following Marco Polo’s 700-year-old trail through a diverse range of exotic environments to find out if the lost city of Shambhala, rumoured to lie deep in the Himalayas, really exists.

Following him on his quest will be Chloe Frazer, a new character voiced by Claudia Black of Stargate SG-1 and Farscape. Elena and Sully (voiced by Emily Rose & Richard McGonagle) from the first game will appear in the sequel and a new character named Jeff (Voiced by Gregory Myhre) will be introduced as Elena's camera man. Robin Atkin-Downes, who voiced Atoq Navarro in the first Uncharted game, will return as Nathan's "guide for the Cintamani Stone and the mythical city of Shambala" named Tenzin. Also assisting Nathan on his journey this time will be an elderly man named Karl Schafer (voiced by Rene Auberjonois) who possesses knowledge of the stone and Harry Flynn (voiced by Steve Valentine), an old business associate of Nathan and Chloe. They are trying to recover the stone before a psychopathic war criminal named Zorin Lazarevic (voiced by Graham McTavish).

Development

First revealed by Game Informer in December 2008, the first teaser trailer shows a weary, wounded Nathan marching through a snowstorm to reach a phurba half-buried in the snow. Lead character artist Richard Diamant remarked that the trailer was rendered in real-time, using the game's engine. A second teaser trailer was released soon after showing a badly wounded Nathan stuck in the remains of a wrecked train hanging precariously over a cliff.

Uncharted 2 will feature online multiplayer, the beta phase of which was playable by those who bought early copies of the game inFamous. The beta was also accessible by annual subscribers of the PlayStation Network service, Qore, on June 3, to those who have subscribed to Qore by May 15. The beta codes from Qore began to be sent out on May 8, 2009. Beta codes from inFamous shipped inside the game's packaging, on May 26, 2009.

It was announced that Uncharted 2 would be released on October 13, 2009. A multiplayer demo is slated for public release on September 30, but people who pre-order from Gamestop will receive first access on September 15. In its product listing for Uncharted 2, online retailer Play.com offers access to the same multiplayer demo to those in the UK who pre-order the title from its website. According to the listing, the multiplayer will take place between September 15 and October 12.

On July 27, Naughty Dog Co-President Christophe Balestra revealed through a Twitter post that the game would not require installation to the PlayStation 3's hard drive.

Graphics and technology

Naughty Dog is aiming to maximize the utilization of the Cell's SPUs, as their estimates for utilization in the first Uncharted were around 30%. As a result, the game is expected to have more realistic environments and animations.

On August 26, 2009, it was revealed that Uncharted 2 will be using between 90 to 100% of the Cell processor and uses 25GB of a single Blu-Ray Disc. In the same interview, it was asked if the game could run on Microsoft Xbox 360 hardware in which the response was "never" due to the size of the DVD format discs.

Multiplayer

Uncharted 2 will feature both competitive and co-operative multiplayer. The co-operative multiplayer will allow a maximum of three players to take the roles of Nathan, Sully and Chloe and will feature missions involving gunfights, platforming, and teamwork-based objectives.[14] Players will also need to assist their comrades should they become critically injured or be grabbed by an enemy.

The competitive multiplayer will allow a maximum of ten players to play against each other. Two competitive modes have been revealed, 'Deathmatch' and 'Plunder'.[15] Deathmatch features two teams of five, with one team acting as 'heroes' and the other as 'villains'. Players will be able to choose their own appropriate character models (such as Nathan, Sully, Elena and new characters Tenzen and Chloe for the 'heroes' team).[15] Players will also be able to select two Boost abilities which will assist them in the matches.[15] Plunder is similar to the traditional capture the flag game mode, and sees each team attempt to capture the treasure from a central point in the map and return it to their base; the player carrying the treasure is slowed down a great deal, and may also choose to hurl the treasure away at any point, in order to keep it out of reach of the enemy, or to pass it to a teammate.

Another type of multiplayer was unveiled at San Diego Comic Con 2009. 'Gold Rush' is a cooperative mode of play where 2-3 players must team up to get a treasure, randomly spawned on the map, and take it back to their base much like Plunder. However, CPU enemies will try to stop the players from returning the treasure. If a player goes down and is not revived before the timer goes out, they will not come back until the next round. In each consecutive round the enemies will become tougher to defeat.

Due to the reduction of the quality of the game's visuals if a split-screen multiplayer were to be included, Naughty Dog has officially stated there will be no offline multiplayer for the time being.
