Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception - according to the latest issue of OPM - features sandstorms, mirages and Nathan embedding bottles in the heads of his opponents.According to developer, Naughty Dog, the game will travel the world as expected, with a desert location in the forefront of events.
thatvideogameblog reports that the game's story "will be based around Lawrence Of Arabia and his fascination with the City of a Thousand Pillars (Iram of the Pillars). Drake’s enemy, Katherine Marlowe, is said to be part of a secret order dating back to Queen Elizabeth I, but exactly how these connect goes unmentioned, unsurprisingly, given that Naughty Dog explained that the story is still being written and altered. There was also mention of past characters returning, aside from Sully. 'Of course, there are recurring characters from previous games.'"
In terms of game play, Drake will be seen, "picking up a bottle and embedding it into an enemy’s head". Thankfully there is also "a new stealth system alongside new mechanics are all new to everybody."
Vehicles are also tweaked with Naughty Dog stating that, “we have a strong tradition of vehicular gameplay, and we try not to repeat ourselves.”
Finally, the Public Beta! “We’ll be sure to alert everyone if a public beta is in the works this time around," says the developer.
