We’re excited and looking forward to the first PAX East this weekend (March 26 - 28) in Boston, Massachusetts. Block off your schedule on Saturday at 4:00 PM to attend our session, “Naughty Dog LIVE.” We’ll also be around all weekend checking out the expo and attending sessions—feel free to say hi if you catch us around!

Naughty Dog is traveling across the country to attend PAX East this coming weekend. We couldn’t be more excited to fly out and participate in this inaugural outing of PAX East and meet our fans.

The PAX East schedule is looking pretty awesome with a ton of great panels and sessions every day. We’re looking forward to our panel on Saturday evening, where we show you a little bit of how we do game design at Naughty Dog. Be sure to show up early as sessions tend to fill up quickly!

Naughty Dog LIVE – Game Design with the Dogs
Naga Theatre
Saturday, 4:00pm

Come take a peek into how we get games made at Naughty Dog. Three Naughty Dog game designers hold a game design meeting right in the middle of PAX East to tackle the challenge of developing a new gameplay sequence in the UNCHARTED universe, and to make it work for both a single-player campaign and multiplayer modes. We’ll take you through the same highly collaborative, iterative, no-holds-barred design process that went into UNCHARTED 2 – hear us laugh at our own ridiculous design suggestions; check out our terrible drawing skills; witness us engage in, er, “friendly” debate as we overcome challenges! We’ll also take this time to pull back the curtain on what it was like to design gameplay for UNCHARTED 2 and answer questions until we run out of time.

Panelists Include: Richard Lemarchand Jacob Minkoff Justin Richmond Arne Meyer [Senior Community Manager]

I’m sitting in on another panel that is scheduled for Friday, March 26. It’s also a behind the scenes discussion, but of a slightly different topic we hope you find interesting—although we have some stiff competition coming in the form of the Wil Wheaton keynote during the same time slot.

Puppet Masters - The not so Invisible Hands of Video Game PR
Naga Theatre
Friday, 3:30pm

Four masters of video game PR talk about the role of public relations in the video game industry. They’ll cover the buying and selling of souls, crafting and controlling messages, the rise of community, and how social media is changing how they do business.

Panelists Include: Charles Husemann [Editor in Chief, Gaming Nexus], Arne Meyer [Senior Manager, Marketing Communications, Naughty Dog], Aram Jabbari [Manager of Public Relations, Atlus], Stephanie Tinsley Schopp [Owner, Tinsley PR], Chris Paladino [Promethium Marketing, Director of Community Relations]

Don’t forget to check out the PlayStation.Blog meet-up at the Colonnade Hotel on Thursday, March 25—the day before PAX East starts—in case you’re already in town by then.

We hope to see you there and we’re really looking forward to meeting more of our fans!

Sounds like we have time to goof around a little bit, and then time to go to these conventions. Nothing can be done about the game at the moment though. All we care about is publicity while we could be working on the game even more so that we can have a better system ready for UC3.

Posted by: COUNTRYclown on 03-26-2010

I still want the vets of this game to get an anwser on when we can get our own playlist with our health back, guns and the damm gernades just the way they were just the way we loved them, 5 of my friends have fought over the #1 spot in kills and wins and the other 60 were ranked #200 and lower in kills and wins we had been playin this game since the beta . we all preordered and spent most of our free time rippin sh it up on uc2 now were all playin bbc2, mw2,ect because they all out due this once thought of multiplayer insta classic , now its just yea it had a cool single player mode most of the ppl on here came from mw2 and they couldnt adapt to the higher health mainly cause they were use to hideing in bushes and noobertubering someone in the back, i play mw2 and it sux i sux at it i have a 1.14 kdr and i dont camp but i can adapt to sitiation cause i got skilled thumbs and im not a dumbass that wants things easy. i loved the old uc2 because you had to out wit the other teams by useing your maps to your advantage so you could get the bbq , kick offs,ect. im on strike ND i dont wanna play and wont the reason we player in first place because it had originality now its just like every other game but worse… COUNTRYCLOWN

Posted by: diosito1997 on 03-26-2010

naughty dog i think you should leave all the maps and dlc free. this is because most people in the ps3 dont have that much money for this expensive dlc. i’ve been wanting to have this new dlc’s but i haven’t had the opportunity because of the money. and this goes for a big percent of people so please naughty dog make the dlc’s for free....

Posted by: frestelse on 03-27-2010

Are you shitting me? They cost nothing! I am not rich. And you do not need to be, to get the DLCs. How can yo complain about the money, lol. Why would they make DLC for free, they get nothing for it. You ahhhh I get so angry, sorry bad English.

Posted by: COUNTRYclown on 03-28-2010

and you say im f@#$ up, cheap ass you gotta ps3,internet, then i think you got $5bucks,if not let me see what me and your mom can come up with and if anything i might have you do some chores, sound good cupcake.

Posted by: arne on 03-24-2010

Try to stay on topic all. Every comment is read on every post, even if it’s not replied to.

I really don’t want to start to have to clean up comments - I would prefer not to have to moderate comments and keep all the discussion free. Thanks.

Posted by: Jekahog on 03-25-2010

Every comment??
No Way!!!
I felt like I was always being ignored and now ur telling me that I wasn’t.....
Well good, then u know wat we want the most.

Thnx

Hey arne we got lots of UC2 fans here Toronto , Tons. If every you guys ever make plans for future trips please consider the best city of Canada. Plus toronto is one of the top gaming cities in North America, top 5

Posted by: Snake-Eater300 on 03-25-2010

Arne,

It seems you never reply to the things that are most important to the people who post here, probably because such replies wouldn’t be comfortable ones for you. (Perhaps you will say it’s not on topic but there is no topic for most of it).

But we want some answers. And if you really read every post here, you know what bugs us…

Posted by: Waluigi1506 on 03-27-2010

I don’t care if it’s what I paid for, if I paid for something that sucked I’d want it changed and “fixed” no my argument is:
“I want 1.04 because it’s fun” simple as that, it’s FUN

Posted by: Snake-Eater300 on 03-27-2010

That’s it. 1.04 was a lot more fun than 1.05 and 1.06.

I wouldn’t have such a big problem with the latest updates if your health wasn’t so low (or the weapon damage so high)…

But overall, 1.04 plus a timer for grenades = perfect MP imo

Posted by: Snake-Eater300 on 03-27-2010

Oh wait, the “bullet lag” as some people call it needs to be fixed as well to make the game perfect. It’s so annoying that the final bullets always hit you even when you’re around the corner or in cover.

“Perfect” is an exaggeration though. “Great” would be better

Posted by: AgentMo4444 on 03-27-2010

Wow, you rate a game on how well your KD is doing? I value my KD too, but seriously 1.04 was much better and more unique because of the higher health. You could take cover, climb things, and still survive if you were quick enough. Now, even if you get one bullet on you, you try to take cover but you die, why? Because of less health. People used to try new tactics before, now everyone sticks to the same things because it doesn’t take long to die.

The uniqueness of Uncharted 2 multiplayer has faded, i know in Killzone 2 i barely run across the map, always sticking to the edges because of the lower health. Sure, that’s a FPS, but it works in that game because that’s a more realistic shooter. That just doesn’t work for Uncharted 2, the maps aren’t built for that style of gameplay firstly, and neither is the gameplay. It was an addictive, fun, amazing multiplayer game before, now...well it’s still great, but nowhere near as fun anymore.

Posted by: Harrijet on 03-25-2010

Stay on topic! First of all! Stick with the 50 000 $ as a maxlimit! Why should it be easier to reach higher levels when we, who played like idiots with 25 000 $ as a max BEFORE 50 000$? And to reach level 60, that TOOK time! Thats right, play more and learn to stick with it.

About pax: Arne, there will be a new game event in stockholm this nov. Its like sweden will get its on E3 with the big game developers such as nintendo participating. Do you know if you will participate and share PAX-info by then?

Tnx

Posted by: vegardh9 on 03-25-2010

not to break the coversation, but I don’t know were I can get this scream to be heard: I love uncharted, those two games is my favorits. And please NAUGHTYDOG, make a uncharted 3!!!!! I know if you do, it wil be a success. I’m from norway, and everyone on my school has heard about the games or have it. I also hope you will make a “uncharted:drakes fortune” film, I know that wil be awsome to. JAMES DENTON, who plays Mike in “Desperate housewifes” look just like NATHAN DRAKE !!! If you ask me, Uncharted 2:among thieves is the best game ever made!!

Posted by: diego-vbh on 03-25-2010

i totaly agree with you vegardh9, uncharted is amazing! Even my dad join my when I play it. I know if Uncharted 3 comes out, the first thing I do is to run as hell to the store and pre-order it! We cannot miss this amazing experiance. I hope NAUGHTYDOG can hear us, pleace make another uncharted game..

Posted by: law952 on 03-25-2010

I think there should be a girl villain in maybe another motion comic, or for Uncharted 3 make the main villain a woman, as most female villains have a more forcful character compared to male, but have a male side-kick, like harry, as he was funny in parts

Posted by: RoboticAssassin on 03-25-2010

Well sorry to be off topic but i cant ask anywhere else because im banned from the PS forums.

Is there any chance you would bring 1.04 back? I dont find 1.06 fun so im thinking of trading this game to a buddy but i just want to make sure you guys arent bringing back 1.04. Please simply answer “yes” or “no”.
Thank you.

Posted by: Blaster-X545 on 03-26-2010

Ok … they won’t answer you but I will.

Version 1.04 wont came back ever;
Version 1.07 will be release considerably soon;

But if version 1.07 doesn’t come out with anything juicy, please trade it without delay!

Personally I’m done with single player mode;
But I think multiplayer mode still can bring fun to players if ND fixes some issues. We should give ND time and trust them;

That means we should support them with wise and respectful comments and tell them what we like. But they will have the last answer… they own the game. We just have the free option of “take it” or “leave it”.

This is my personally opinion

Then the answer is: NO

PS: I would love to know why you banned from the PS forums.

Dear Uncharted 2 Players,
do you hate glitchers? Are they ruining the game for you like they are for us?
Naughty Dog says they are fixing the glitches, but until then, the players have to take things into their own hands.
Help bring glitchers out into the open with us.
We are AnonAvengers, and our goal is to bring the glitchers out of the shadows and reveal their names for all Uncharted players to see.
if we cannot get rid of glitchers, than we can at least be aware.
Help our Cause

you’re nothin but a snitch.you claim to want to help but you don’t help at all. Show em how to do the glitchso they can do something about it. You’ve got to be a kid,no self respecting mature person would snitch under such blatantly false pretenses. You wanna expose glitches,learn em,then just do a cinema of all of them, that’s how you help. You’re just a kid in his moms basement trying to get utube hits.ud have better luck if you put ur cat on your lap and spun him on that lil nub. You should give up playing red rocket trying to milk the naughty dog cus they already got your money too and don’t care one bit. EVERYONE ELSE......if you can’t find out how to do a glitch send a request w/glitch in the body. You can even send this douche the cinema....and b4 you even say anything..im not gonna stop playing no matter what you say so don’t bother to even comment, like it actually matters to me..

Posted by: Hi-Tech-Hate on 03-26-2010

FYI I didn’t start doin that till I had over 100 mil already...without the double cash weekends that you’re so desperate for. So...thats not how I got my rank,or my medals. I’ve been here since the betas and I put the effort in so why don’t you stop with your badge envy, trying to talk shit to everyone who outranks you, or at least do some research b4 you open your mouth. Wah....i wana be a 60 but I don’t wanna work for it...wahhh...its too hard..waaahh.. I’ll be the first one to admit I glitch, but nowhere close to every game,and usually only in sniper matches(for the people who actually believe what you say) so,in closing, get * kid

Posted by: theklassklown on 03-26-2010

wow Hi-Tech-Hate ur really not cool first of all i agree it does take alot of time to get to a high level im level 53 and it has been takinf FOREVER and i have been playing since the beta so u chill out and get some milk before u ruin ur rep more than u already have

Posted by: ZOMBOB_ on 03-26-2010

A level 60 who cheats and his ratio is still only 1:1 despite it. That’s just really sad. His ratio using basic weapons is even worse at about .5! That means when not glitching, he hides in a corner with situational awareness and a shotgun, what a disgrace.

Posted by: ZOMBOB_ on 03-26-2010

Naughty Dog should ban anyone with more than 50 self kills, as that is the first most obvious sign that someone cheats. In the case of Hi-Tech-Hate (thousands of fall deaths), thats a nasty rate of suck. I would have to play 20 years to hit his number.

Posted by: nillacoke on 03-28-2010

i remmember vs Hi tech hate when he was lvl 52, he was terrible cause he didn’t glitch, but he was using invalid but his outcome score was just so bad i LMFAO for like 5 mins and after that i had to take some alka seltzer. oh and klown if u were talking to me then sure.

Posted by: amandoplay3 on 03-26-2010

Arne:
What should I do to expose players cheaters?
I have protected and taped up several games in which they are cheaters.
Besides this, we must report their names somewhere else?
We must punish cheaters, bad race.
What do you do with them?
When we see a player cheating, we should get off the game, without penalty for it.
We must stand above all the game, unable to do anything against them.
Thanks.

Posted by: Kage79 on 03-26-2010

What a pandora’s box they opened with that experimental weekend because a few were complaining about opponents being “bullet sponges”. I wish ND would be humble enough to give the player what they want and change it back

Posted by: UC2AnonAvengers on 03-28-2010

I know that We aren’t punishing cheaters yet, but our Youtube channel is exposing them. if you want you can send those cinemas to us and we’ll upload them.
please check us out if you have the time

Sorry about this ND I know you guys hate it when people get off topic but there is nowhere else to ask this. Are you guys thinking of making Easter weekend a double cash weekend too. And if you are it would be really cool to put like Easter bunny ears on drake and a villain( Doesnt matter which one), like you did with Christmas and the santa and elves hat. I really enjoy holiday weekends for those to reasons so if you guys aint 2 busy, maybe you can do these to things.

Posted by: ROCGmfvohra on 03-27-2010

i’m going to the topic directly.

1.04. :}

that’s all people want. we have paid $60 for the game. please put 1.04 back.

Please vote if you want 1.04. “YES” or “NO” reply.

LOVE noughty dog. but RUINED the game FIX IT.

Posted by: Snake-Eater300 on 03-28-2010

If that’s the case, I wonder why the most skilled players complain about 1.06…

Yes it’s so great to get “sniped” by an AK from across the map by a player that doesn’t even use down the irons, right?!

This whole MP just isn’t designed for this “die in half a second by a standard weapon” crap.

My K/D ratio is contanstly rising but I have no fun because the last two updates force you to play a certain style while before you had the chance to be successful with every style.

Posted by: Snake-Eater300 on 03-28-2010

Of course there are a lot more arguments why 1.06 sucks.

Btw, why are my stats on this website not the same as on the leaderboards? My ratio is only 1.9 here but it’s 2.5 in the game and I have about 34k kills and not 45k or so…

Posted by: MACCBETH on 03-27-2010

This is way off topic but id like to see something done about all the glitching that goes on in games. with all your “improvements” youve made to the overall game you still seem to have overlooked this major problem. it seems like there isnt one level where someone doesnt know how to glitch into a wall and ruin the game for everyone who plays fair.

and its not just one person here or there if you play you know there are teams of glitchers who go out of their way to cheat in every game they play.

like alot of people id like the health dialed back to what it was but since it seems like you all dont want to , or wont, do that fix the game so people cant cheat in it.

Posted by: drbrugg on 03-28-2010

I can’t get over how bad the game has gotten post 1.04. I had quit for a few weeks and just popped it in only to be reminded of how badly ruined this game is. You guys can go to all the conferences you want and blog about them all day, but it doesn’t impress me one bit. It would impress me if you gave your customers the game they bought back.
