Halloween is only one day away and we decided we wanted to do something special for our fans over the weekend. We’re happy to say that this weekend is also our first ever Double Cash weekend in UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves. The Double Cash weekend starts now (Friday, October 30, 2009) and continues until Monday, November 2, 2009, at 11:00 AM PST. In every match during Double Cash Weekend, you’ll be getting twice the Cash award you normally would for completing typical game actions – not medal-related currency awards – giving everyone a leg up in increasing their Rank for a limited time. That means this weekend is the perfect time to hop on to our Competitive and Co-op Multiplayer modes – whether you’re just a few levels away from the vaunted ‘X’ or this is just your first time online. A bunch of Naughty Dogs will also be playing this weekend, so be on the lookout for the red Naughty Dog paw next to our PSN ID in the game and feel free to say hi, ask any

Didn’t get enough behind the scenes videos on your UNCHARTED 2 disc? Well, there’s plenty more where that came from—five more videos to be precise—bringing the total to twelve. Over the past couple of weeks, the PlayStation YouTube channel has been steadily adding additional Behind the Scenes videos to the seven already available as unlockable content within UNCHARTED 2. These extra videos go further into how our cinematics process worked and gives you a look at all the actors in UNCHARTED 2, details about the rehearsals, our motion capture process, and a look at how we did A.D.R. on the game. We’ve put all of the videos together in a handy YouTube playlist or you can watch them all in the video embedded below. Hope you enjoy them!
