Amazing Uncharted 3 Eurogamer demo footage released online
Sony’s released footage of the demo of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception that was shown at Eurogamer Expo a couple of weeks back during the developer sessions held by Naughty Dog lead designer Richard Lemarchand and Nolan North. This shows Drake coming across a “ghost town,” as he fights off enemies within it from what appears to be after the cargo plane level shown at gamescom. Word to the wise: if you’re not on a blackout, get watching below the break – this was properly stunning stuff.
Uncharted 3 launches in the US on November 1 and November 2 in Europe and the UK on PS3. Thanks, GameVideos.
