Uncharted 2 dated for Europe News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

22 September, 2009

Sony has told Eurogamer that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be released here earlier than expected on 16th October.

The PS3 exclusive had originally been poised for a 23rd October launch, although that date was retracted quickly by developer Naughty Dog on Twitter.

Uncharted 2 will be among the playable Sony games at the Eurogamer Expo this year. The others include God of War III, Heavy Rain and MAG, all of which launch next spring. Tickets cost a meagre £6 and can be bought on the Eurogamer Expo site now. Be quick, we only have limited space.

Head to our Uncharted 2: Among Thieves gamepage below for hands-on impressions, videos and screenshots.

Ah sweet. The same date as Brutal Legend, both of which I have preordered. Saves me a trip to the store.

Think I might play Brutal Legend first though, and save Uncharted for later in the year. I played the first one over the holidays, and kinda associate it with christmas now. Might save it for then. Or not.

Isn't this old news? Game emailed me with a change to this date weeks ago. Has been 16th on most retail sites for a while now.

usually look at play.com for release dates and I swear it's been like this for months...wouldn't mind them pushing it back to the 23rd (pay day for me :) and with Brutal Legand and Fallout 3 GOTY coming out on the same day..phew, that'll be me sorted for quite a while!

I wouldn't get *your* hopes either, muscleblade, I've got 4 beta testers on my friends list and they all say it's brilliant and good fun.

I wouldn't get your hopes of predicting anything up muscleblade. You could have two goes at guessing the outcome of one cointoss, and still get it wrong.

Multiplayer beta is fucking magic, well looking forward to this!

Fun as it looks I suspect sales of Brutal Legend will suffer on PS3 because of this.
Can't wait for U2.

Earlier reviews may nominially influences the direction the reviewers take, as reported in Edge metacritic article some issues ago, and also those posting firsts are rarely the reflection of the final averages figure.

HOWEVER..... Uncharted 2 remain my most anticipated PS3 title for this year alone, this completes PS3 package and a must have killer app. Yes there would be bitter tears from X360 owners.. but just not those of us who are multi platforms owner!

First one was great but with some minor flaws, expecting this one to be more confident of its own pedigree and makes other devs try to emulate the successful formula.

Yippee one week earlier!

@Muscleblade,

Indeed, as with Prototype which was a flop despite all the hope of it being better than inFamous. Then again all the early reviews for Batman Arkham Asylum were very high, as were the reviews after the embargo. It can go either way.

From what I've heard from those with a MP Beta code is that it's very good, but I'm really only interested in the SP, which if it is even nearly as good as the first will make me very happy.

I predict (whereby I solemnly swear this will be the one and only time I will do this) that Uncharted 2 will "rock" and that EG will award it with 9/10 at the least. Predicting is slippery stuff though - mind you, I haven't played a single second of Uncharted 2 and am basing this solely on the piece in DF and the Edge preview.

Uncharted 2 stand at the EG Expo will be the emptiest one there due to the game coming out 2 weeks beforehand!

Im with you. Just guessing thats all. We will see soon enough if im right or wrong.

The first 3 reviews of Batman AA was 95%, 100 and 100. Its 92% now so it has fallen a bit. Great game no doubt.

I havent played the beta. I never play betas as i rather wait for the finished game. Didnt even try the Halo 3 beta even though i owned Crackdown.

I have read a few scandinavian reviews and i base my guess on those. 2 of those gave the original a 9/10 and the sequel a 8/10. They might be way off i dont know. Seems like the graphics is the best part of the game and not the gameplay. Thats all.

Must be a bad year for sequels, Halo ODST done terribly compared to Halo 3. Maybe people are looking for more originality in games now.

@Beek4257 then base it on the IGN review, its a pretty solid review and they rate it rather highly.

Although I'd pegged this as my 'Big Xmas Game' (tm) I won't be able to wait that long. I'll ask for some socks instead.

Thanks, but I've actually made the conscious decision not to read it (or any other review) before playing it myself (which is quite hard tbh). I've already decided to buy it regardless, based on what little I dó know about (i did play part I) and start out relatively fresh and uninformed.

LOL @ donnie finally coming clean, but "staunch supporter of MS" is a BIG understatement.

TopKatt's amendments are much more fitting for donnie :-)
