So you guys have seen the teaser trailer for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves‘ multiplayer mode. From that trailer alone, it was pretty easy to see what we can expect in online co-op or competitive myultiplayer. But here’s Naughty Dog game designer Justin Richmond giving us specific details.
Yeah you can watch the 7-minute video interview below, but here’s a quick summary:
- Elena and Sully are confirmed to be available in multiplayer mode, but there’s no confirmation if they’ll appear in the single-player campaign
- Using propane tanks have an advantage and disadvantage. You can blow up your enemies with it, or, if the tank is shot while you’re carrying it… ouch.
- The Capture the Flag/Treasure mode is called Plunder.
- There are melee one-hit kills: sneaking from behind and cracking their necks or throwing people off ledges – just make sure you’re not caught
There’s also a section in the interview where Richmond compares Uncharted 2‘s multiplayer with that of Resident Evil 5‘s.
