Hello from Naughty Dog! All of us here are working feverishly to apply the final polish to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. I think I can speak for the whole team and say we’ve never been more proud of anything that has come out of this studio. One word we throw around here quite a bit is ‘epic’. We use (and abuse) the term every single day at Naughty Dog, but I think with good reason. From the lighting to the backgrounds, the animation to the score, the characters, the story, the gameplay, it all feels ‘epic’ to me every chance I get to play.
It was an easy task, then, when it came time to make our latest trailer for Gamescom this week. I just wanted it to feel epic.
One thing you all should know about the way we make trailers is there really isn’t much TO know. We think the best way to show off our games is to do just that, show the game. The footage in the trailer is generated directly from the Naughty Dog 2.0 engine. The only difference between what you see here and what you’ll get a chance to play on October 13th is the speed at which we set the game to run at the time of capture.
I hope you all enjoy the trailer and I look forward to seeing you online when our open multiplayer beta launches September 15th.
Also, hang tight after the trailer to see Naughty Dog Arne Meyer and PlayStation.Blog’s Chris Morell talk about the single-player campaign, which is playable on the Gamescom show floor.
Excellent, Watching now!
oh, and FIRST!
Can’t wait!
Goty.
Cant wait for Uncharted!!
After seeing that trailer, it’d be tough to overuse the word “epic.” I can’t wait to get a copy of the game.
Sony’s John Koller think we don’t want BC.
lets express some feedback and claim .
WE WANT BC!
copy and paste this.
ME LIKE! :)
GOTY!
Very well done video. That day ticker on the right of the site is pissing me off more than helping me. October can’t come soon enough.
Why is this not on the PSN Store yet?! Please get it up there!
But looking forward to it a lot! Definitely my most anticipated game of 2009!
Nice keep em coming!
What about a demo to play?
@dulcediana
I have BC. Unfortunately, you ignored them when they had BC, which led to them removing it. If it was so important, people would have grabbed them up while they were there, not waited for a pie in the sky concept of a console of $199 w/everything possible.
This game is AWESOME!!! And the trailer is EPIC!!!!
Taylor,
The open beta is available to anyone who wants to play? or are there some requirements?
Hey there. The multiplayer beta on the 15th of September is available to all who\’ve pre-ordered the game from Gamestop. You\’ll get a code to gain access.
THIS IS A MUST OWN FOR PS3 USERS!
Not watching it! Waiting for the game to show its glory!
Well… guess i’ll keep some cash seperate for this one.
No story trailers for me. Don’t want to spoil the game like I did with Uncharted DF.
The video still does that thing where it disappears when you rollover. Has this been looked into?
OK, specifically – what\’s happening? What browser and OS are you using? Thanks for helping us lick this thing.
Like \’lick\’ as in \’eliminate.\’ I\’m not licking a computer. Or a PSP. That\’s been done :-)
cant wait 4 october 13 2 play this epic legendary game
Not watching this. Oh, I want to watch it, but I’m staying as far away from this game as possible until I actually have it in my hands.
I love you naughty gods.. Can’t for the game day one buy. Thanks for making awesome games.
sweet
@ Loki_d20
Couldn’t agree with you more.
Also have the 80 GB PS3 with BC.
You can’t imagine how I love all your Crash, Jak and Uncharted games :D
Multiplayer beta will be open for everyone?
Awesome trailer btw.
Oh, and when can we expect PS3 Slim + Uncharted 2 commercial on TV?
Please fix video for Firefox (rollover bug).
55 days till epic.
WOW this game looks extremely good. So this is what Amy Hennig has been up to since LoK series. Please bring back Legacy of Kain!
Anybody know the music in the trailer?
The music is directly from the game\’s score, composed by Greg Edmonson.
Will there be a post about Ratchet and Clank? People need to see that new trailer.
I already have the game pre-ordered. This game is absolutely beautiful through and through!
so i am confused, what is the official day the beta can be accessed for those people that have vouchers from gamestop stores? i really would like to know
September 15th.
This game is going to be soooo damn good i can tell but who knows when im getting it haha
@31 yeah, man, Ratchet and Clank looks like a pixar moive. the voice-over for that trailer also feels like a pixar movie.
This trailer’s music is epic (of course, the graphics and voice-acting).
Sony’s John Koller think we don’t want BC.
lets express some feedback and claim .
WE WANT BC!
copy and paste this.
I’m not watching, I’m not watching, I’m not watching!! Not reading either, so don’t bother telling me to watch!! Nothing’s going to spoil this thing for me! Actually, it’s kind of funny, isn’t it? I enjoy gaming so much and am so excited for the games that I refuse to take part in anything having to do with them.
DOES ANYONE KNOW!!!!!!!?????????
Gamestop Multiplayer Beta, what is the day we can start accessing it!!?!?!?!?
Kudos to ND for their awesome talent. You deserve all the respect for your great work. Can’t wait to purchase this game, day one for sure. :D
so the multiplayer demo date changed ? on the back of my Gamestop voucher it says it starts today ?
Apparently the date changed a while ago. Sorry for the confusion. If you go to the Gamestop website, they have the dates correct. It begins 9/15.

Day-one purchase.
No doubt about it.
well, i’ve read that september 15th is when it would start but now i’m reading that it is an open demo, and i recall reading it is early access, i don’t want my preordering to be worth nothing so i wanna know when i can do the demo
I want jak 4
please this trailer on the playstation store in HD i really love uncharted series because uncharted drakes fortune is my favorite game ever on ps3
@35 jBat17
Aside from the Heavy Rain and Uncharted trailers, Ratchet and Clank was simply amazing. I feel like that game is not getting the attention it deserved because of the other game that is going to be releasing this Holiday Season.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Seriously BC isn’t needed I have a 60gig system and when it launched yeah it was needed but with how many new games are out we don’t need it. I don’t even play any old ps2 games, the only one I play that’s old is FFVII that is downloaded.
Sorry to say this again, but this game is EPIC!
Love the countdown on the right!!!
The only thing I can say is: Beautiful. This game really puts gamers in awe after a video or a demo. A superb game.
@Jedoman
