Uncharted 2 Among Thieves cover | Naughty Dog
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was released for the Playstation 3 in North America on November 19, 2007. The sequel is set to come out nearly two years later. Although Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a big step up from the original, it went through the development cycle relatively quick.
Naughty Dog’s Amy Hennig recently revealed in a video interview with GiantBomb that the upcoming game only took 18 months to develop despite all the improvements and added features. She made the following statement when asked what is next for Naughty Dog:
Really we’re on kind of a break right now because we really killed ourselves on this one. I don’t think people quite realize that we’ve actually made this game in 18 months and that was a longer single-player experience, a feature length movie basically in terms of the cut scenes and all of the online features in multiplayer and the co-op. And we kind of look back and said: ‘how did we do that?’ We basically went into zombie mode and just killed ourselves to do it. And so everybody’s taking a lot of time off and just recharging the battery right now.
It looks like Naughty Dog’s hard work is paying off since Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is one of the highest-rated games of all-time. The Playstation 3 exclusive title will be released on October 13th.

ONE OF , IF NOT, THE BEST DEVELOPERS IN THE WORLD, japan studio honorable mention.

1st day buy epic game well deserved credit
I thank Naughty Dog for their dedication for their work. I loved the first Uncharted despite the sloppy targeting system and short play, but after playing the demo. I can surely say, they've earned every bit of praise thrown at them and this game DESERVE GOTY award.
Go rest up your minds and bodies ND, you deserve a lengthy vacation until your next project. We'll be expecting the same high quality games. =D
An AAA production in just 18 months development is an achievement on its own merit.
WOW !!
HA!
and PD take 5 years to develop GT5.
there sure taking their time, this better be the best racing game ever released otherwise polyphony digital can kiss my money goodbye!
Hopefully this means we wont have to wait too long for Uncharted 3 - 2011 maybe?
