Following news that Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune will bring a brand new 2D side-scrolling action game to Home, Warhawk and Resistance plans for the service sound just as cool.

According to this, up to eight Warhawk players will be able to meet in a “war room” before matches to discuss strategy. The room will even include a table with a representation of the level in 3D, and players will be able to place markers on the board to plan tactics, just like Winston Churchill and Hitler did in WWII. There’s no word on being able to push the bits around with big sticks of dowelling as yet.

The war room also serves as a launchpad for the game, so you don’t have to leave the Home interface to get into the action.

This says that Resistance will provide Home visitors with a room to explore and let owners visit unexperienced areas of the game, as well as letting them tap into “radio communications” that allow for bonus content.

Can we have a price cut now, please?

This sounds pretty cool. Apparently Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune owners are going to be able to play an addition 2D side-scrolling mini-game by using Home, Sony’s upcoming online avatar thingy. Sony is apparently pitching similar ideas to all PS3 game publishers in an effort to increase the longevity of their titles.

Home’s currently in closed beta, but is expected to unlock its door to an open beta in March, in Japan at least.

Australian gamers are soon going to be able to pick up a new, AU$800 PS3 bundle, if this is to be believed. The pack includes a 40Gb machine, a Sixaxis and one of the following games: Heavenly Sword, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction or NBA 08. We have Australian readers. We have the stats to prove it. If that’s you, you’ll be pleased to know that you’ll be able to buy one of these on February 14.

According to this, Naughty Dog has no current plans for downloadable content for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, but isn’t ruling out supporting the new, streamlined Home when it launches in the spring.

“We don’t currently have any plans for downloadable content – instead, we included all our bonus content as unlockables right on the game disc,” said the game’s director, Amy Hennig. “We’re excited about future integration with Home, though, and are looking forward to supporting Home with additional content when we’re able to.”
