Some network downtime but I’m back up and running so we are a bit behind. Then again, Sony was as well.

Uncharted 3 Drake’s Deception
Drake has a lot of idle animations that you then interrupt when you move him. It makes it a bit clunky looking because there’s always this jerk away from whatever animation was in progress.
His face also looks to have changed and he’s now often scowling and looks far less like Nathan Fillion than he did in the previous titles. Perhaps this is in preparation for the film and they wanted to make him look more like he would in that? He does look very much the same in some cut scenes but in some game sequences there’s something slightly different.
The gameplay remains the mix of platforming and third-person shooter as we have come to expect from the games.
June 20th (or 28th) will start the Multiplayer Beta. You can also get early access to the full multiplayer through a deal with Subway sandwich shops.
November 1st.
