“We never set out to make a three-part [Uncharted] series from the beginning. We have always sort of seen it as a stand-alone adventure, like you are gonna pick up any one of the games and play and out of order. It still makes sense. You can still understand the characters and the plot. Obviously, if you play the other ones, you get more out of it. I have always seen it as a single-part adventure story. We have always said that if we think that we can make something new and interesting, if the fans still want them, then we can make another one. But at this time, everyone is sort of on vacation. We’re trying to recover from the process of making it and I think we will come back together and maybe this month and next month make a decision about what we are going to do next. But we never said how many of these things there will be. There are plenty more stories in the universe. It is just a question of what’s the company interested in doing next. We really don’t know at this moment.” – Uncharted 3 game director Justin Richmond to VentureBeat.

“We were, at any given point, using 100% [of the PlayStation 3's power]. We were using everything we possibly could. There is always room where you find something where you can do the processing in some different way to find more power. There are all of these different ways to squeeze more power out of the box.”

– Justin Richmond, game director on Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, speaking to VentureBeat. Naughty Dog famously made the same claim about Uncharted 2 – and then optimised further.

Naughty Dog has released a couple teaser shots of Flashback Map Pack #1 for Uncharted 3 multiplayer.

As you can see by the screenshots posted below, the maps have been given a bit of spit-shine. Pretty swank looking they are too. Other maps will be included in the pack, but have yet to be announced, so keep an eye out for more information soon, along with a release date.
