Sequel to Naughty Dog’s archeological action-adventure will apparently bring new arctic locale to the PS3; full reveal at SpikeTV VGAs.
Though third-party console exclusives are an endangered species, first-party titles remain in fairly abundant supply. One of the best-regarded PlayStation 3-only games is Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, developed by Crash Bandicoot studio Naughty Dog. After receiving solid reviews in 2007, the game sold over 507,000 copies on Sony’s console. That’s despite the third-place installed base of the PS3, which took the bronze again in October US sales, according to the NPD Group. (The game is also included in the recently launched 160GB PS3 bundle.)
That’s right, the game was one of the spearhead 2006-07 Sony first-party titles that were meant to display realistic PlayStation 3 rendered environments. Trailers were made available on the PlayStation Store worldwide, so most presumed that the title would soon make its way to the West.
However, the title was actually renamed Aquanaut’s Holiday and released in Japan as a Blu-ray only title this September. Yes, September; three months ago. And if you can believe it, the game already supports the English language in the Asian release.
