Next week isn't just WWDC — it's also E3, the greatest (gaming) show on earth. We'll see Wii 2 details from Nintendo and NGP details from Sony, and that's just what has been announced. But of course, the news cycle starts before the event does in earnest, as companies try to beat the onslaught by hosting pre-events. Here's what we know slash I feel like posting so far:
The new
Uncharted game on the NGP is called
Uncharted: Golden Abyss. It is an original game (not a remake!) that takes place before
Drake's Fortune. It's being developed by Sony Bend, right here in Oregon.
Naughty Dog is overseeing development, just as Insomniac did for Bend's well-received
Resistance: Retribution.
Also, Sony announced a collector's edition of
Uncharted 3 that includes
Drake's Deception, Drake's belt buckle, Drake's necklace thing, and a statue of...Nathan Drake. All in a steelcase box, and all for the low low price of $99!
Uncharted 3 hits 11/1/11.
Pictures!
Also, Konami is releasing a trilogy pack of
Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in HD for the PS3. They're also re-releasing HD two-packs of
Silent Hill 2 and
3 and both
Zone of the Enders games (!!!).
Also, Level-5 has trademarked
Professor Layton and the Last Specter in North America, seemingly confirming that the fourth
Layton mystery will come to the US (the fifth, for the 3DS, is already out in Japan, so).
Also, I can't start a paragraph without "Also."
Also, Microsoft's and Sony's press events will be on Monday, and Nintendo's is on Tuesday, so there will be way way way more news to come!
