This is the second reveal of an Uncharted game that I've covered in my time at IGN, and the same thing has happened each time: I go in thinking Naughty Dog is a great developer but that this next iteration will just be some tweak or graphical improvement -- that the game will be better than the last, but not leave me feeling weak in the knees. Then, I see the game, my expectations are far exceeded, and I'm left to try and put it all into words for you.

Yes, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception looks phenomenal. By now, you've probably seen the game's trailer, heard that it was all made in the game's engine, and replayed the short gameplay bits at the very end of the video a few times. But even better than that is the fact that Sony's given us two straight minutes of footage -- which encompasses just a sliver of what I saw in a recent demo -- that we're happy to reveal today.

Two minutes of Uncharted 3 footage.
However, before you start replaying that over and over, let's run through just what's going on in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. This, of course, is the sequel to IGN's Game of the Year 2009, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Naughty Dog likes to keep the timeline a bit fluid, but a year or so has passed since Nathan Drake took down Lazarevic. Now, Drake and his best friend and mentor, Victor "Sully" Sullivan, are on the quest for "the Atlantis of the Sands," a fabled city filled with the wealth of Arabia and hidden somewhere in the inhospitable Rub al-Khali Desert.

To get there, Nate and Sully are going to need to do the proper amount of globe hopping. Although many of you freaked out when you saw Nathan Drake wandering through the desert ("There's nowhere to platform in the desert! What the hell, Naughty Dog?!"), the devs say that only about half or possibly less than that is actually set in the sands. Just like Shangri-La in Uncharted 2, the fabled city is the end goal, and there's going to be a whole lot in our duo's way.

See, there's a "clandestine order" that's trying to keep our buddies from reaching the mystical city, and they've got an evil leader that "threatens to conjure [Nathan Drake's] deepest fears." Sadly, this order and its leader didn't make an appearance in my demo, but the fact that we're talking about conjuring stuff up makes me wonder if nightmares or hallucinations will be the over-the-top twist Nate has to face (and that the Uncharted games are known for) this time around.

Don't expect every level to be sandy.Still, that's all conjecture (and if that's what you're into, check out this Rewind Theater breaking down all the clues from the debut trailer). What I know for certain is that this order has the capital to hire thugs to try and kill Nate and Sully, and that's exactly what's happening in the demo I saw. The boys are at a chateau in France. It seems that Sir Francis Drake -- Nate's ancestor and plot point of the original game -- actually had a bit of a run in with the Atlantis of the Sands back in the day while sailing around the world and investigating trade routes for Queen Elizabeth.

Anyway, there's a clue in this chateau, and as the guys search for it or get done searching for it, the bad guys show up and start pouring gasoline all over the place. They're going to burn the place down so our heroes can't find it, but apparently they don't know Nate and Sully are actually there. How do I know this? Well, I don't actually, but the guys tossing gas everywhere didn't seem to be looking for Nate and Sully.
