Last week you voted for your favorite Uncharted Moments and the votes are in! There was a close tie between the Train Wreck from Uncharted 2 and the Cargo Plane from Uncharted 3, but there could only be one winner, right? The Train Wreck! The very opening minutes of Uncharted 2 grab you pretty instantly and — for a lot of people — never let go.
We’ll be playing it live today and talking to the team about what it actually took to pull this epic moment off (Hint: it wasn’t easy). Tune in on the Naughty Dog Twitch channel and sound off in the chat, or share your favorite Uncharted Moments in the forums.
With less than two weeks until Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection launches on October 9th, we’re happy to announce that the demo will go live on the PlayStation Store today! Even if you’ve battled through war-ridden Nepal a hundred times, playing it with enhanced graphics and gameplay on PS4 is like playing it fresh. Don’t believe us? Download it.

The “train sequence” in Uncharted 2 may be my favorite segment of any game ever (and I’ve been playing since NES). I was playing ‘pass the controller’ with my brother and I actually only watched the first time through the sequence and I didn’t mind one bit, amazing. I will never forget that experience.
You’ve been playing since the NES…so you were a 20 some years old playing “pass the controller”? lmao
whos cares if he’s 60 and playing pass the controller? he’s enjoying a gaming experience and even better sharing said experience with his brother. who cares how he does it?
@nelmo26
What does that have to do wih anything? I see no reason to mock him for this. Who is to say that he doesn’t have an LP channel, wasn’t visiting his family (or vice-versa) or simply put doesn’t just share an apartment with his brother. Furthermore, Uncharted 2 was released in 2009 & the SNES was released in 1991. Assuming of course he comes from a family that wasn’t able to afford an SNES early in his lifespan, he could have been stuck (& I use that term loosely) with a family member’s NES as a small child in the early 90s. Meaning that they could have been in their late teens in 2009. Don’t mock people when you don’t have all of the information.
What impressed me about Uncharted 2’s train sequence the most was that at the time, I was working in a Sony Store, so we had video trailers of Uncharted 2 running on one of our big screen TVs over and over, teasing bits of the level. So when I finally got my own copy of Uncharted 2 (many months after it had already released), I expected not to be too surprised by anything that happened, since I thought I had an idea of what to expect. But I was completely wrong. That scene was filled with so many surprises, and even the “BIG” showstopper didn’t end the way I thought it would. The Train Sequence is truly an example of cinematic videogame mastery.
@nelmo26 I’ve been on this earth about as long as the Magnovox Odyssey and I plan on having a bunch of friends over to play Until Dawn later this month, and yes, we will obviously be passing the controller. No shame in that, there’s still something about sharing a gaming experience with a friend on the same couch that online can’t match, and the Train Sequence in UC2 is definitely one that would only be more awesome to play or watch for the first time with a friend or group of friends who haven’t seen or played it either.
