Naughty Dog not done with Uncharted
"Lots of adventures" to come, says dev.
Naughty Dog creative director Amy Hennig reckons the Uncharted series has the potential to run and run, long past upcoming sequel Among Thieves.
"No it doesn't conclude the story at all," said Hennig on the US PlayStation blog.
"Our expectation with Uncharted is that it can be an ongoing franchise as long as people want more of it. All these stories are self-contained enough. [You don't need] to play the last one to play this one - obviously you can get a bit more out of it if you have.
"[Drake's] going to have lots of adventures, thank god."
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was released at the end of 2007 and took home 9/10 on Eurogamer. And the sequel Among Thieves - released on 16th October - looks every bit as good, if not better.
Naughty Dog's secret? Having no managers, bizarrely. Instead, Hennig said the studio uses "organised chaos", where everybody - right up to the co-founders - rolls their sleeves up and works on the game right up to the bell.
There's a mountain of coverage on our Uncharted 2: Among Thieves gamepage below, and a review coming up next week.

Not bizzare in the least. I ran my team the same way i.e. no-one was above anyone else. Only deadlines and disputed features were points where I had to step in and say it's going to be like this end of!
EA and Activision have already noticed that only their autonomous studios are producing any good work. Their internal studios, which are heavily managed, are producing increasingly crap and samey work that is not really selling. Ironically, film studios have realised over management leads to crap (hence directors are given free reign to make a movie how they wish) for 50 bloody years!

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you hope it gets a 10 from EG because the finished product actually deserves a 10? Or do you want it to get a 10 irrespective because it's an Uncharted game, even if sites like EG deem it only worthy of a 9 (or 7)?

Who would have thought that one of the (likely) biggest selling games of the year is going to get a sequel! And that Naughty Dog is going to keep on making sequels! How surprising!

It ticks the boxes from Uncharted 1 pretty nicely (so they definitely listened to the fans).
V-sync *tick*
Tighter hand to hand *tick*
Longer single player campaign *tick*
Bigger more logical puzzles *tick*
More robust cover system *tick*
Multiple paths through a level *tick*
I can't wait for my official copy to drop on the mat so I can play through the whole game (only did chapters 1 and 2) and some multiplayer. To me this is now my new gears of war when it comes to third person multiplayer. The way you use the environment is just way cooler. You can pull off some truly classic kills and some amazing team tactics.

Also just feel like I haven't seen a 10 review on this site for a while so it would be a nice surprise.

As for the series continuing, that's great news so long as Naughty Dog keep expanding, improving and adding to the games otherwise they are likely to get as dull and predictable as the Tomb Raider and Halo series have for me. I sometimes think developers should only make trilogies before moving onto something completely new and different. The reality though is that as long as a franchise sells well then developers/publishers will keep churning them out.

Anyway.
Am I alone in thinking that the first games single player campaign was just the right length? I thought it was perfect, not too long, not too short.

I guess that's a title that would go to Modern Warfare 2.

It's not a perfect game
In all honesty what ever is? There's always going to be a design decision some don't agree with, a puzzle some find clunky and unintuitive, an action sequence you some think could've been better scripted. No game ever is or could ever be all things to all men. Except maybe the ocarina of time

In the current climate any company getting to make another game is news.

I agree with you but I would give a possitive for uncharted2 as a campaign game and a nogo for multiplayer. The cover system might be better than before but its just not good enough game for multiplayer when its great for campaign. Multiplayer my needs are way too complicated and uncharted has a very very much generic mupliplayer system for my likings yet thats why its more pleasant as a good setup in the campaign. You mentioned Gears, well it cant be gears when it comes to online and you know it, which im kinda tired of. Hope 3 comes out sooner or later..

But it is easy to forget, in all the KZ2 hype, how far ahead Naughty Dog were right at the outset (i remember the furore about the "360 couldn't do that" comment - can't wait for the internet to implode if Digital Funpolice make the same claim for UC2). And it really is a fantastic game. Hurrah for birthdays and friends who know what to pre-order.
