MULTIPLAYER KEY FEATURES:
· UNCHARTED 3 provides online players with a unique Action-Adventure multiplayer experience, applying the cinematic quality of the single-player campaign to the multiplayer mode with explosive adventure, interactive environments based on the same vibrant locations found in the single-player campaign, and big set pieces that deliver intense moments to competitive play.
· UNCHARTED 3 introduces a brand new collection of competitive multiplayer modes to offer a robust set of unique online gameplay options, such as six-player Three Team Deathmatch for 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 gameplay or eight-player Free For All. Popular Team Deathmatch mode also returns supporting up to 10 players for 5 vs. 5 gameplay.
· New and improved customization features give players a variety of options to create their own unique play style, including four load out slots allowing players to pick among starting long gun and sidearm options, two upgradable booster slots, one paid booster slot, and weapon modifications allowing for thousands of combinations. Player characters are also completely customizable through hundreds of mix-and-match items, while customizable character emblems represent players throughout online play.
· A new inherent player balancing system ensures that matches stay competitive.

· Earn Medals and powerful Kickback rewards based on performance that are designed to give you increased combat proficiency.

KEY FEATURES:
· Diving back into the story of Nathan Drake, players will learn more about the events that brought him and his longtime friend and mentor Victor Sullivan together, as they undertake a perilous quest that tests the bonds of their partnership. Nolan North and Richard McGonagle reprise their performance capture roles of Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan.
· Explore memorable new locations from around the world—from a derelict chateau deep in the forests in France to the merciless Rub’ al-Khali desert in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula.
· Bigger set pieces and more explosive adventure, driven by Naughty Dog’s signature storytelling and cinematic presentation.
· Competitive and co-operative multiplayer return with brand new experiences and massively expanded feature sets. The UNCHARTED universe provides online players with a unique Action Adventure multiplayer experience, bringing the cinematic elements of the single-player campaign into multiplayer.
· Nathan Drake can now take on opponents in more ways than before: hand-to-hand combat with multiple opponents, contextual melee attacks, and new stealth options. UNCHARTED 3 also features expanded and diverse traversal moves with deep gunplay, and constant problem solving scenarios that encourage player exploration throughout the environments.
· Naughty Dog introduces new physics, visuals, and environmental effects. The harsh desert environment of Arabia’s “Empty Quarter” is faithfully created with distant mirages, heat distortion effects and sand that drifts, displaces and flows realistically. The developer has also revisited nearly every visual effect in their repertoire, such as fire, smoke, and water.
· UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception will be playable in Stereoscopic 3D.
