Check out Uncharted 2: Among Thieves in action photo

While we don't advocate it, we sure won't complain when a sneaky someone leaks some footage of a highly-anticipated game. This time it's Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, which promises to be one of Sony's flagship PlayStation 3 games for 2009. 

The footage after the jump is low-resolution and the camera is shaky, but there's enough here to get fans of the original all hot and bothered. Surprisingly, even given the visual limitations of this amateur off-screen video job, the game looks damned good. The above screen grabbed from the video above doesn't quite do it justice; it's the animation, the life in the environments that give should make you take notice. Oh, and a really God damned cool gunfight. 

I've seen Uncharted 2 in action first-hand, and I can say that this video doesn't do the game justice -- final judgments on visuals shouldn't be made based on this, of course. Trust me, it looks stellar in person. It should only whet your appetite for more info, screens, and videos of the game, which we'll be seeing more of in the coming months.

Maybe it's me, but i am so sick and tired of games that have Run to cover and fire, repeat...

Granted I just got done with Wanted, maybe that's why this isn't that all awesome to me

Is this really uncharted territory? Is the jungle too boring? Also, it's too dark too see some of the action.

This reminds me of the earlier chapters of MGS4. Which were awesome. Also, is his shirt half-tucked? I can't tell, but if it is, this game'd be even better than it looks now.

I just think that looks nice.. Like real nice.
And it seems dark, but i think it's cause was taken by a cellphone or similar, cause both uncharted and gow3 weren't allowed for photos or videos.
Well... Even not being jungle it looks sexy... The enviroment has more life, like boards falling, like rocks and pieces of the buildings.
Looking forward to it!

I just hope that the platforming:shooting ratio is higher in this one. If I want a cover-based third person shooter (and sometimes I do), I'll play Gears. Uncharted needs to really focus on what makes it unique, and that's the platforming and puzzles.

Agreed on less shooting. Even when you are in a shootout, there shouldn't be an army of pirates coming in waves before you can move on. I'm not big on the city setting, it's much like the beginning of MGS4, the blandest and worst part of the game.

Uncharted was a great game, but it was one of 2 games that had a grand total of 3-4 different enemies the entire time. Pirates! Lame! (Other one was Black).

Relax. It's okay. They're not ruining your precious Uncharted.

shooting/cover/aiming in Uncharted 1 is simple and nearly flawless...I almost find it superior to COD4 controls!!!

Uncharted is the first exclusive title that I really miss on the PC. It looks gorgeous and it seems to have a good storyline and vivid characters, too. But buy a PS3 just for it? No way.

Voice acting? Brilliant( nice to see Nathan's sense of humour has not changed)

GFX? Brilliant

The animation especially was jaw dropping.

Looking very much foward to this, now I want Naughty Dog to release details on Jak 4, then I'd be a happy man.

The first one was a fantastic game and this looks even better. I hope the story and acting is as good on this one as it was on the first.
