We can tell you that the new pack will be called Flashback, and that it will consist of maps that featured in Uncharted 2. Naughty Dog has released two teaser screenshots of two of the maps featured in the Flashback #1 pack, and it looks like they are the Ice Cave map and The Fort map from Uncharted 2.

Unfortunately, there’s no indication when they will be out or what price they will command, but judging by the shots below it looks like they are primed for release soon so we expect that you won’t have to wait too long to get your hands on these.

Will you buy these Uncharted 2 remakes on day one though, or were you expecting some brand new content? It is becoming very common now for developers to remake maps from previous games, we have seen similar trends for the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield. Gamers seem to love it though, so we predict that this will be a hit regardless.

On a side note, if you haven’t signed up to the Uncharted 3 Fortune Hunter’s Club yet, you may want to invest in $24.99. This will get you the Flashback map pack for free, as well as six other DLC packs for the game made up of other multiplayer map packs and character skins. You’ll also get some exclusive themes thrown in there too for good measure, with Sony touting a saving of 45% for all those that sign-up.

What are your thoughts on the upcoming Flashback map pack, will you buy it if the price is right, or do you believe that map ‘remakes’ should be free for those that played Uncharted 2?

Let’s cut to the chase, if you liked the other two games in the series you are going to love Uncharted 3, if you can only afford one game before Christmas – buy Uncharted 3, if you have been looking for an excuse to buy a PS3 here it is – it’s that good!

Want some proof? Well let’s start with the opinion of the most reputable video game sites out there, IGN, they scored it a perfect 10 out of 10, you can see there review for yourself here. In terms of presentation, graphics, sound, gameplay and lasting appeal it got 10/10, meaning that it is faultless – we have never seen a game receive a perfect score like this. IGN’s Greg Miller summed things up by saying “If you’re willing to skip Uncharted 3, be prepared to miss one of gaming’s finest moments”.

Obviously one review cannot prove that this game is really a masterpiece, so let’s point you in the direction of some other reputable reviews which game Drake’s Deception top marks. The Official PlayStation Magazine gave it a perfect score here, so did GamePro (here) and 1UP (here).

In the interest of fairness we have to point out that not everyone thinks this game is perfection, EuroGamer’s Simon Parkin scored it just 8/10, you can see why he gave it such a relatively low score here. Finally one website called A.V. Club scored the game a B- (which equates to 5/10) – here is what they say: “Two years after Thieves, Uncharted’s gameplay mechanics and conventions are no longer dated; they’re borderline archaic” – we think that the site has just done this to get page views, therefore we aren’t even going to bother linking you to the review, but if you are determined to see it check out MetaCritic for the link along with dozens of other reviews.

Now that you have got to play Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception leave us a comment below with the score you would give it out of 100, feel free to accompany your score with a summary of why you gave it this.

If you are interested in participating in the closed beta for Uncharted 3, you’ll need to know that the official date starts on June 28th. Details on how to get into this beta at the end of the month were not revealed by Naughty Dog during E3, but something else important was.

At E3, the developers announced an exclusive deal with Subway food chain, in which players in the US will be able to gain access to the multiplayer mode of Uncharted 3 a month early before the game releases, just by ordering food and drink from the stores.

Uncharted 3 isn’t due out until November 1st in the US, November 4th in the UK, but it’s understood that this Subway deal will allow gamers to preview multiplayer in October before the game is out – a full preview as well and not just a few maps and modes.

It sounds good, but we’re waiting for more information to come in as we speak. We’ll let you know when we have clear details on how to enter the beta. Let us know if you are interested, and we’ll come back with details for the June 28th beta.

UPDATE: Just to remind you, you’ll be able to enter the beta as long as you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber or if you pick up a copy of inFAMOUS 2 on the PS3. Since everyone now has access to PSN+ via the Welcome Back Package, we’re unsure at the moment if the terms have changed. We’ll let you know.

As Jim over on vgn365.com noted, the new details appear to have been unveiled on a video, which was filmed during a recent multiplayer press event for the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception game. According to the TV within the video, the multiplayer beta will be launched on July 5th.

It wasn’t just the multiplayer beta release date that was unveiled on the video either, as it also revealed a few new details regarding gameplay. For example, if you look at the video around the 1.47 mark, it looks like players will be able to interact with the enemies while hanging on a ledge.

According to Tom Hopkins over on the nowgamer.com website, the desert featured in Uncharted 3, which has now been confirmed as Arabia’s Rub’ al Khali – will contain all the usual phenomena you’d expect from a desert, including mirages and sandstorms.

Besides the previously-unveiled burning French chateau, both Drake and Sully will also find themselves in the Empty Quarter looking for the Iram of the Pillars, a traditional jungle setting and the streets of London. The game is also said to feature a new melee system.

The new melee system enables Drake to use environmental objects as weapons. The developer has also hinted that motorcycles could well be making a series debut in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, as well as there being a possibility of an Uncharted 4 game in the future.

Naughty Dog also stated that it would alert fans if the developer ever decided to have an open beta for Uncharted 3. What do you think of the latest details?

As Oliver East over at justpushstart.com recently noted, the game’s main character Drake will have various different animation sets, which allow him to react to his environments accordingly. For example, when Drake is in the burning building, he will shield himself from the fire.

It appears that the stealth element will also be more prominent in the Uncharted 3 game, which according to Ben Dutka over at psxextreme.com means that the chance of sneaking up behind opponents will be drastically improved in the next installment.

Finally, the developer has confirmed that all the money players earn within the Uncharted 3 game’s story mode will in fact be transferable from single-player to multiplayer. This of course means that players will be able to use their cash to buy weapons and upgrades for online play.

Are you looking forward to playing the Uncharted 3 game?
