Nathan Drake punches and shoots his way through a burning house in the first gameplay footage to emerge for Uncharted 3...
See, this is what Michael Parkinson was missing on his chat show - exciting videogame coverage. Over the pond, talk show Late Night With Jimmy Fallon was the venue for a first official look at Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’s gameplay.
Two things are apparent from the footage, which you can see below: first, that host Jimmy Fallon couldn’t hit the side of a barn, and second, that Uncharted 3 looks absolutely awesome. The fire effects look great, and it appears that Drake has more close-quarters fighting skills than ever.
The footage also reveals that Dake will be taking a trip to France in his new adventure - the spacious building burning to the ground is described by Naughty Dog designers Evan Wells and Christophe Balestra as a château.
There’s also repeated sightings of grizzled sidekick Sully bumbling after Drake - does this hint at a co-op mode in Uncharted 3? We’d certainly welcome it.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is due for release next November. Hurrah!
