Dont forget Borderlands and Halo 3 ODST was just around then too. It's sad we don't have years like 2008 or 2009 again.

Thats good why not just let something be special and done instead of running everything into the ground. Id rather se brand new franchise from naughty dog@@MarkYeeDaMajor
@@Nathan.007 And then they gave us a sucker gut punch with TLOU opening in 2013 that had even the most hardened among us shedding lots and lots of tears!
The fact that uncharted 2 came out in 2009 still baffles me . I remember seeing it on my ps3 for the first time and just amazed at how good it looked . This and god of war 3 I thought my ps3 would blow up lmaooo
PlayStation 3 was my first PlayStation, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was my first PlayStation game I've played. Both, Naughty Dog and PlayStation have a special place in my heart.
I still play Killzone 2 and 3 on my PS3. I own a PS3 slim and PS3 super slim. I opened up both consoles, replaced the CMOS battery, reapplied the best thermal paste and put it back together. Replaced both hard drives with SSD. Both my PS3s run like a charm. Super quiet and super snappy! Im so happy. So many great memories from college till today. A good console!
You can't even put together a grammatically correct sentence and we're supposed to agree with you? No wonder you line up with an IGN employees dumb take lmao.
This game is what made me really really love Playstations single player experiences, with its cinematic mastery mixed with Gameplay was a fantastic edition to bring us some of the best video games experiences I have ever had the pleasures of playing, this will always be my favourite video game of all time ❤
@ once every three or or two months IGN put up a video that’s actually not half bad but I believe this is totally thanks to one or two individuals though.
The Last Of Us might be the best PlayStation game. But like the video said, Uncharted 2 is the most important. Uncharted carried the PS3 era, and the first half of the PS4 era. It’s PlayStation’s best franchise. Its fans aren’t toxic. I’ve seen about every Uncharted game being someone’s favorite on their list. I hope one day we can go back to Nate, if it’s a remake of the first game, a reboot, or a sequel with Cassie, and Nate. I do know, I miss this franchise, it brought so many wonderful memories to my teenage years. Miss ya Nathan Drake.
@@BraydenCannon Yes I do. Uncharted had more impact on the game industry, and films than God of War. I get it, God of War is great! But… Uncharted reinvented action games.
As someone who loves both UC2 and TLOU, it's tough for me to pick one. I think I lean into the gritty nature of TLOU more, but there is no denying that UC2 was what initially blew me away on the PS3. The fact that both games came out on that console will forever cement the PS3 as an absolute juggernaut console.
Ah, the golden age of gaming. We had Uncharted, Mass Effect, Dead Space, Killzone, Batman Arkham, Assassin's Creed, Infamous, Red Dead, Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, The Last of Us and too many more amazing franchises at the top of their game. It just went downhill after the PS3 era.
I have to disagree with IGN. Zoran Lazarević is a fantastic Villan. Scary and Menacing. Even th last battle at the end was such a challenge. The game was very memorable from the very second all the way through till the end. Absolute masterpiece.
Yup. The moment when they first meet in the rain is legendary. Yes, some of the villains back then were cartoonishly bad in a sense, but also memorable af. I bet everyone remembers Ezio‘s adversaries. Try to ask for the newer titles.
My jaw hit the floor when I was first playing U2 in 2009. I absolutely adored the first Uncharted and U2 took it to another level. Such a special series.
The leap that it did from the first one to the second one will forever be in my memory . The first one was good but the second one from the beginning to the ending was action packed. My jaw was on the floor because of that opening and the graphics.
"This culminated in one of the most mature and well-rounded portrayals of marriage in a video game in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End." Well said. Uncharted is one of my favorite franchise of all time even though I never had a PS to play the first 3 games but instead watching them on YT and only playing the last one on PC. I have re-watched the full game movie type of videos of all games several times over the years.
@@tacos4419I would love to see an adventure of his daughter Cassie Drake who follows her father's footsteps after the 4th game ending... just my thoughts ! Would be nice to add a cameo from old Drake 😅
then it turns out that the daughter of some guy that nathan killed has come back for revenge and killed nathan and now cassie is looking all over the world for the daughter and kills countless number of people only to leave her fathers killer alive
Uncharted 2 was a huge step forward for games in terms of cinematic presentation. It’s the best out of the 4 games imo. It was truly a masterpiece for its time.
I just replayed 1-3 a couple months ago, and they remain some of my favourite games ever, with 2 still being the absolute standout. Just the perfect pacing and balance of action and narrative moments
When Uncharted came out it wasn’t immediately the power house it’s known as today. I remember that cover with the shotgun. It was the game Xbox and Halo fans had to acknowledge was decent. When Uncharted 2 released is when Naughty Dog officially became undeniable and was a legitimate argument for a PS3
4:04 I truly believe Lazarevic is the best boss fight in the entire series, and I've always struggled to understand why people dislike it. All good boss fights, in my mind, should have a core logic that the player can learn, which once understood, reveals a clear path to completion. A great boss fight provides this whilst maintaining a sense of challenge, or 'upping the ante' between waves. It means that, while you understand what's required, accomplishing it requires finesse and practice. it can't be "cheesed". For a final boss, It should also incorporate the lessons and mechanics the player has been taught throughout the game. Lazarevic nails these principles. His boss fight requires you to combine traversal and marksmanship while being hyper aware of your surroundings at an intensity that surpasses any moment in the game prior. The 'Yeti' boss fight (and to an extent, the chapter 'Cat and Mouse') earlier foreshadows this moment really well - almost as though it's a practice run, but now the enemy is more fierce - and armed. It also asks you to make quick decisions in the midst of combat. This is a usual gameplay aspect of Uncharted - strategically positioning yourself around a combat zone and staying light on your feet to avoid aggressive enemy advancement and provide flanking opportunities. With Lazarevic, you have to do this while making additional choices: Should I look behind myself as I run and risk making a traversal error or should i look ahead to ensure I make distance but risk losing track of his position - which could land me next to his shotgun at point blank. Should I stop and try to catch him at this sap or should i make more distance and shoot when there's a surer chance of him being hit by the blast? All the while trying to manipulate him into the correct positions - make too much distance and hill take his own route, not enough and you'll be in the danger zone. Everything is a split-second cost/benefit decision that only becomes more heightened on higher difficulties. It's an incredibly tense and tonally fitting payoff to a thrilling game that feels like a step up from the Descendants chapters in Drake's Fortune. As for most annoying - it's Nadine. It's a fight which feels like it takes control away from the player. In trying to establish that Nadine is an expert in martial arts, it makes the players actions inconsequential to the level. It invites you to believe you have agency but then wrestles it away for narrative purposes. Your timing doesn't matter, your correct inputs don't matter, your hits will not land and your dodges will be futile because narratively Nadine is supposed to win and be established as the superior fighter. I believe there are much better ways to do this that don't 'cheat' the player, but then I think boss fights (at least human 2 human boss fights - the helicopter in Lost Legacy was great) were clearly one of the biggest flaws of the series post-Hennig.
I remember going to the US to visit my family, my dad recently gifted me a ps3 so my uncle gave me some money and gifted me some games, MW2, Bad Company 2 and Uncharted 3. I was a fan of shooters so I went straight to the first two, and in a week I had nothing to do (good old highschool times), I started playing Uncharted 3 and oh boy, I was mesmerized, to my (nostalgically) is probably the best Uncharted game, but I remember buying a pack with Uncharted 1, 2 and The Last of Us, there I went to play probably the best series ever made and probably the best PS game, so cheers to that, I still would love to see a remake of the 3 uncharteds.
The fact that the game director of Uncharted 2 will direct the upcoming Black Panther Vs Captain America game in Unreal Engine 5 is incredibly promising
I didn’t have a console for a few years between PS2 and PS3. One day I say F it and go buy a PS3 second hand with Uncharted 2. Having never played the first I was apprehensive. The opening with the train blew me away and brought me on board.
If Uncharted 2 get a remake he would humiliate every game and I don't think that it's time to do so. Sony have to do some new things before because they are sleeping actually
I can see that possibly being true, because 2009 was the year when PS3 turned the corner and went from being clearly behind Xbox 360 to suddenly overtaking it. And Uncharted 2 was the biggest game of 2009. It led the shifting of the tides. It also came out on my 21st birthday, so I have many fond memories of playing it, including the online multiplayer. It was such an incredible technical showcase at the time.
I highly doubt it was the biggest game of 09, 09 had juggernauts like MW2 that exploded the internet. What is the actual reason that PS3 outsold 360? cause for all intents and purposes the 360 is the better system on paper.
@@Nitroh-It was the highest rated game of 2009 and still is Sony‘s best rated game ever. It blew up the internet back then and won countless game awards, MW2 might have sold more (multiplat) but UC definitely turned the tide in favor of Sony. Everyone wanted to play this, it became the poster child for prestige exclusive game and how a sequel should be done.
@KxxK-e5m well yeah that makes sense, U2 is a great sequel, i must replay them again, just with they'd come to PC. I always thought The Last of Us was the best rated Sony game? That's why they cuddle it so much still to this day.
@@Nitroh- I was referring to the Metacritic score. I don’t know if and which has more GOTY awards. But you‘re right that TLOU definitely became the more current thing, it’s currently at the forefront, which I personally don’t mind but I always found UC to be better, it’s a good middle ground between storytelling and fun. Regarding the PC ports, they should definitely port 1-3.
they should keep this series going. Not with Nathan drake, his story has ended, but with different one, maybe in a different time, maybe 80s or 90s where internet is not widely available, the world felt larger, still has mysteries left to discover.
The Uncharted series prided itself as Cinematic masterpieces … the story, the characters, settings, pace, and engagement. The banter and trophies… Exceptional
So much love for the Uncharted series. I've thoroughly enjoyed every game in the franchise. Not to mention that for it's time Uncharted 2 was widely considered the best looking video game around. It was a sight to behold for sure.
I got this game bundled with my PS3 slim. Had no idea what it was and it really was one of those amazing nostalgia moments of not played anything like this when jumping in the first time. I love 3 & 4 to but nothing quite holds a mark to 2 in my opinion. What a great series Would happily welcome a remaster of UC2
I was a Wii and 360 owner,and a combination of ps3 slim in 09 and this winning game of the year made my 17 year self save up for a ps3.uncharted 2 is a masterpiece.
I played the Nathan Drake collection during covid for the first time and uncharted brought me back to gaming. I had a blast playing uncharted 2-4 and lost legacy. Only game I couldn't play was uncharted 1 so I'm hoping they remake it to modern day standards one day!
I’m not even going to lie this game and assassin creed 2 change my life the story,the game, the place and the artifacts that you was able to collect while playing the game was so unique I wish I could wipe my memory and replay it again. I have played all 4 part at least 2-3 times each specially during pandemic time
What's real crazy was Naughty Dogs output in the PS3 Gen was just insane Uncharted 1 in 2007 Uncharted 2 in 2009 Uncharted 3 in 2011 The Last of Us in 2013 All only 2 years apart and now it takes so long just for 1 game from them and other devs and these days most triple A games are usually divisive for the most part
2007 Uncharted 1 2 years go by 2009 Uncharted 2 2 years go by 2011 Uncharted 3 2 years go by 2013 TLOU 1 year goes by 2014 Left Behind 2 years go by 2016 Uncharted 4 1 year goes by 2017 Lost Legacy What happened after the Lost Legacy? Why have they only released 1 game in the past 7 years? What happened to naughty dog?
Technically, The Last of Us got a remake and a sequel as well. With the ballooning budgets and increased console power, Naughty Dog is in a place where, to make a truly impressive game, they have to put in even more than they already are.
This take is spot on. Uncharted 2 is what made a bunch of people switch or buy PS3 consoles and it is the title that gave Playstation its identity as the place for "AAA cinematic story-driven exclusives." Gameplay, story, visuals were all great in this one as well.
I played the Uncharted series late. So when I beat the 1st one, I already had a copy of the 2nd and started in right after. Such an improvement! I like the supernatural elements at the end and wish that 3 and 4 had done that too
Watching this makes me really emotional and nostalgic. A truly fantastic game. Just finished U1:Remastered and am really looking forward to U2:Remastered in 60 FPS ❤
I haven't played the 5th installment yet but surely uncharted 2 had the best opening scene of all of them and full of action all the way. I'm always overwhelm. Very cinematic indeed. It's not only a game but a full movie as well.
Uncharted 2 will forever be my favourite game ❤️ it was one of the first games I played when I first got a ps3 in 2009 absolutely love it still to this day.
Alright hold on put some respect on the car chase in uncharted 4. That was thrilling. And I wouldn’t say they „gave up for Lost Legacy. They combined the train sequence with the car chase brilliantly
The best game i ever play..its a linear game but its the best of them all..the gameplay..all the action..the story line..and the character development between nathan ,elena and sully.its just amazing..the dialogue are amazing...such a memorable game overall..as an adventure i never bored about it
I hope that they Don't change like other open games..not to do sub missions and find items to upgrade weapons or find food..just straight forward..that what makes them unique from other games..that's why it's great.
Loved UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection on Steam, but as a PC player only, I just hope one day for a remake of those old titles (on PC) to be able to fully understand and immerge in it. Of course there's emulation... But I prefer to buy my games.
I completely agree, I sold my Xbox 360 when I saw the trailers for Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 to buy a PlayStation 3 and I don't regret it at all, excellent console
I do wonder if gamers today can appreciate just how groundbreaking this game was when it released 15 years ago. It's still my favourite game today. Nothing beats that first playthrough.

they should keep this series going. Not with Nathan drake, his story has ended, but with different one, maybe in a different time, maybe 80s or 90s where internet is not widely available, the world felt larger, still has mysteries left to discover.
The Uncharted series prided itself as Cinematic masterpieces … the story, the characters, settings, pace, and engagement. The banter and trophies… Exceptional
So much love for the Uncharted series. I've thoroughly enjoyed every game in the franchise. Not to mention that for it's time Uncharted 2 was widely considered the best looking video game around. It was a sight to behold for sure.
This took games to that triple A blockbuster level. I'm inclined to agree.
Uncharted 2 was the reason that I bought a ps3 in 2009
I used to skip school to complete this game so many good memories with uncharted 2 in particular
I got this game bundled with my PS3 slim. Had no idea what it was and it really was one of those amazing nostalgia moments of not played anything like this when jumping in the first time. I love 3 & 4 to but nothing quite holds a mark to 2 in my opinion. What a great series
Would happily welcome a remaster of UC2
I used to have nearly every single cutscene in this game memorized. I still do. That's how much I've played it.
Uncharted is one of my favorite game franchises, and Among Thieves is the best entry in the series. It's the one I've probably played the most
I was a Wii and 360 owner,and a combination of ps3 slim in 09 and this winning game of the year made my 17 year self save up for a ps3.uncharted 2 is a masterpiece.
Bro I swear any Uncharted game with the word "thief" in it's title will be amazing
I played the Nathan Drake collection during covid for the first time and uncharted brought me back to gaming. I had a blast playing uncharted 2-4 and lost legacy. Only game I couldn't play was uncharted 1 so I'm hoping they remake it to modern day standards one day!
Now this is a series that would make a killer remaster!!!
I can remember getting this and beating it over the weekend. A good game takes you and makes you forget about life for a little while.
I’m not even going to lie this game and assassin creed 2 change my life the story,the game, the place and the artifacts that you was able to collect while playing the game was so unique I wish I could wipe my memory and replay it again. I have played all 4 part at least 2-3 times each specially during pandemic time
And to think that Uncharted 2 came out just 2 short years after the first one! Whereas nowadays we have to wait 5+ years for mediocrity at best...
What's real crazy was Naughty Dogs output in the PS3 Gen was just insane
Uncharted 1 in 2007
Uncharted 2 in 2009
Uncharted 3 in 2011
The Last of Us in 2013
All only 2 years apart and now it takes so long just for 1 game from them and other devs and these days most triple A games are usually divisive for the most part
It was the last game I played on my SDTV!
I pray to god that Naughty Dog continues the Uncharted franchise. I came in extremely late at The Thief’s End and was BLOWN away.
This was my first ever trophy and platinum trophy. I got this game bundled with my PS3 Slim with Cod 4. All my time was put into this game though
2007 Uncharted 1
2 years go by
2009 Uncharted 2
2 years go by
2011 Uncharted 3
2 years go by
2013 TLOU
1 year goes by
2014 Left Behind
2 years go by
2016 Uncharted 4
1 year goes by
2017 Lost Legacy
What happened after the Lost Legacy? Why have they only released 1 game in the past 7 years? What happened to naughty dog?
Technically, The Last of Us got a remake and a sequel as well. With the ballooning budgets and increased console power, Naughty Dog is in a place where, to make a truly impressive game, they have to put in even more than they already are.
Uncharted 2 was definitely peak for that series. I did however enjoy 1, 2, & 4 as well though.
What about 3?
Incredible timing, just saw the director behind Astro Bot say this is his favorite (followed by 4 then 1)
This take is spot on. Uncharted 2 is what made a bunch of people switch or buy PS3 consoles and it is the title that gave Playstation its identity as the place for "AAA cinematic story-driven exclusives." Gameplay, story, visuals were all great in this one as well.
I played the Uncharted series late. So when I beat the 1st one, I already had a copy of the 2nd and started in right after. Such an improvement! I like the supernatural elements at the end and wish that 3 and 4 had done that too
Watching this makes me really emotional and nostalgic. A truly fantastic game. Just finished U1:Remastered and am really looking forward to U2:Remastered in 60 FPS ❤
I just hope that one day i can play all uncharted games on a pc......
Uncharted 2 is the honest to goodness greatest game of ALL TIME, spectacular in every way 🙏
Loved Uncharted can’t believe they abandoned it crazy 😂 fun action adventure immersive and good story
At least Sony gave the Uncharted series a happy and proper ending.
@ hilarious Sony ended their best franchise just to have a good ending 😂
I keep wanting to go back and play the trilogy especially. Will have to do so over Christmas. Uncharted 3 is a gem as well
One of the best games ever created. What a story, and what a series. Nothings come close since.
Lezaravic was my favourite boss fight! I’ve played Uncharted 2 too many times to count. I finally got the platinum trophy this week!
Best game ever
I haven't played the 5th installment yet but surely uncharted 2 had the best opening scene of all of them and full of action all the way. I'm always overwhelm. Very cinematic indeed. It's not only a game but a full movie as well.
I am currently playing through the collection. Just finished this game yesterday and starting the third today.
Playing through it right now, it's my favorite of all the uncharted games. I wish the Nathan Drake Collection would get a remake.
Then why is the thumbnail from Uncharted 4??
Thats a different game...
Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 5 are the GOATS🔥🔥🔥
The best in the series for me!! The train intro sequence was so good!!!
My sixty years eight dad watched me play the whole game. Even asked me when I was gonna play so he could watch!
One of the only series I would and have replayed multiple times all of these were good story action gameplay 🔥🔥🔥
Uncharted 2 will forever be my favourite game ❤️ it was one of the first games I played when I first got a ps3 in 2009 absolutely love it still to this day.
Alright hold on put some respect on the car chase in uncharted 4. That was thrilling. And I wouldn’t say they „gave up for Lost Legacy. They combined the train sequence with the car chase brilliantly
Before Uncharted there was Syphon Filter, how could u forget that series? It was better than Socom, it's a criminally underrated franchise
I just finished Uuncharted 2! I’m starting Uncharted 3 when I’m off work!
Lets never forget about Little Big Planet. Both Uncharted 2 and Little Big Planet changed Playstation forever...
Aye the cruise ship part of uncharted 3 was so mfn cool tho
The best game i ever play..its a linear game but its the best of them all..the gameplay..all the action..the story line..and the character development between nathan ,elena and sully.its just amazing..the dialogue are amazing...such a memorable game overall..as an adventure i never bored about it
I prefer Uncharter over The Last of Us. I miss this game sadly.
I hope that they Don't change like other open games..not to do sub missions and find items to upgrade weapons or find food..just straight forward..that what makes them unique from other games..that's why it's great.
The turning point for the PS3
My fav franchise ever! Wish they made new Uncharted games!
It's what made me choose Playstation over XBox (to begin with) back in 2009. Saw a friend playing it and I could not believe how good it was.
Just beat this game for the first
time yesterday… I really enjoyed it. It holds up well.
The best game I’ve ever played. Without question
Loved UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection on Steam, but as a PC player only, I just hope one day for a remake of those old titles (on PC) to be able to fully understand and immerge in it. Of course there's emulation... But I prefer to buy my games.
Astonishing. NGL this is the best piece I've ever watched here on IGN. Kudos to you Sir!
The only thing that bugs me in Uncharted games is when you're out of shooting parts, Nathan seems like a person who won't even hurt a fly😅
I completely agree, I sold my Xbox 360 when I saw the trailers for Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 to buy a PlayStation 3 and I don't regret it at all, excellent console
I have the collection on PS4. Praying for a port one day so I can play it on my steamdeck.
I do wonder if gamers today can appreciate just how groundbreaking this game was when it released 15 years ago. It's still my favourite game today. Nothing beats that first playthrough.
Uncharted is the best. One of my favourite game series of all time. I wish they would continue the series with more spinoffs a la the Lost Legacy.
