82w ago - SCEE Manager James Gallagher has made available a video today showcasing the motion capture technology utilized in Uncharted 3 PS3 behind the scenes.

To quote: I don't need to remind you that the release of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is less than a week away and you may have seen that the reviews are rolling in, including perfect scores from IGN, PlayStation Official Magazine UK, Destructoid, The Guardian and more.

These critics have all highlighted narrative and, in particular, the actors' performances as particular strengths.

It's unusual, when you think about it, to be talking about performances in the context of a game, but it's that marriage of technology and human acting, along with a great script and a skilled team of animators, that brings Drake, Sully and co. to life in such a believable way.





While we were in Jordan a few weeks ago - you may have seen our Treasure Hunt video here on the blog - we spoke with Nolan North and Emily Rose, the actors behind Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher, as well as Taylor Kurosaki and Arne Meyer from Naughty Dog, about how this performance capture process works.

83w ago - Today Naughty Dog Community Strategist Eric Monacelli has shared an Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception PS3 video preview dubbed Race to the Ring on Spike TV's Premiere.

To quote: Nathan Drake's adventures are never easy: There's danger around every corner!

As you may remember from our casting call, Spike TV developed a blockbuster reality competition that brings that action to life in the UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception Race to the Ring TV special that airs on Spike TV Monday, October 31st at 11:30pm Pacific Time (10:30pm Central).

We were stoked to hear from so many wannabe Drakes out there. After we sorted through the mountain of die-hard UNCHARTED fans that entered, we chose five lucky contestants - all with very different backgrounds - to participate in a competition worthy of an UNCHARTED adventure.

The competition will test the limits of their endurance, strength, accuracy, and agility while pushing their knowledge of Drake's adventures to the extreme.

For a taste of the action, check out our preview video for the UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception Race to the Ring Special below.
