Why Robin Makes Batman Better Hothead director David O. Russell will not be directing any Uncharted movie, the Los Angeles Times reports, and the unsuccessful negotiations to bring him to the project have pretty much shot any chance the movie has of releasing in 2011.
Who will direct the big screen adaptation of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune? The LA Times reports that the film’s producers and Sony, the studio backing the flick, have a short list of favourites that includes David O. Russell. Who’s that?
Everyone’s favourite guy in a blue jeans, Nathan Drake, is the latest video game looking set for a big screen version.
This is an interview with Mr. Nolan North. His name probably won’t ring a bell, and that’s a real tragedy, because as soon as you hear him open his mouth, you’ll know exactly who he is.
Hear that chime? It’s the box art clock. And it just struck box art o’clock. On offer today is the art for the Uncharted PS3 bundle, which will see one of the console’s finest titles stuffed in with a 160GB PS3, a DualShock 3 and a voucher for PSN title PAIN. It’ll be out next month, will cost you $US500, and if you like fun and think you’ll be downloading movies on the PS3, there are plenty worse ways to be introduced to the console.
Sony’s all-about-me blog ThreeSpeech has an interview up with Richard Lemarchand, one of the lead designers at Naughty Dog. Naturally the topic of Uncharted and its trophies came up, but towards the end there’s an intriguing bit on just how much of the PS3′s processing power is utilised by developers at present. Here are the specifics:
“That’s why we think we’re probably only using 30 or 40 per cent of the power of the PS3 right now, and there’s this great, untapped potential. All third-party developers can get the Edge libraries for free and are going to be able to use them in their own ways, to get more and more and more out of the PS3 over the years.”
The original Playstation proved that “old” doesn’t mean “slow”, and the PS2′s done a decent job of carrying the torch. It stands to reason that developers will continue to milk more of everything from the PS3′s hardware, at which point it’ll achieve sentience and destroy us all.

The promised 1.01 patch for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune has hit the decidedly charted PAL regions of the world, unlocking PlayStation 3 trophy support for one of the console’s greatest titles. The patch, which weighs in at a modest 13 megs, unlocks 47 trophies that coincide with the achievements already built into the game, along with a 48th platinum trophy for unlocking all of the other trophies. Already unlocked all of the game’s achievements? Well start a new game and unlock them again, as they won’t be applied retroactively due to cheating concerns.
Right now the patch is only showing up in PAL territories, though we’re certain a North American release can’t be too far behind. AHA! Err, UPDATE: Now available in the States!
