Naughty Dog has said Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will come close to using all of the PS3's power, after the first game used just "30 to 40 per cent".

That's according to the Game Informer reveal (read by a poster on the Gametrailers forum), which provides the first details and images of the sequel.

We're told to expect a brand new female lead in the shape of Chloe Frazer, who'll be played by Claudia Black from Stargate SG-1 and Farscape. She may use a rocket launcher, as suggested by cut-scene footage.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, revolves around Nathan Drake finding the lost ships of Marco Polo. Action adventure will still very much be the focus, and Naughty Dog has made significant improvements to combat.

Apparently melee will be more "dynamic", and Drake will be able to shoot while running, climbing and hanging, as well as simultaneously move and aim from behind cover.

Firefly composer Greg Edmonson will return to score the game, and Nolan North will once again provide the voice and movements for hero Nathan Drake.

Naughty Dog apparently refused to comment on whether original heroine Elena or grizzled friend Sully will make comebacks.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be unveiled properly on Sunday at the 2008 Video Game Awards. Expect more information to tumble out then.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was released at the end of 2007 and is one of the best games on PlayStation 3. It can be picked up as part of the PS3's budget Platinum range for around GBP 20.

How long did it take before the PS2's full power was actually being used? Not two years you say? It didnt even use a brand new style processor you say? Why it would seem as if Naughty Dog is pulling our leg here..

notice in the article it says "come close to" which means anything from 50% upwards really

Whys that hard to believe? just because it taken awhile to use ps2s full power, doesn't mean they can't on ps3, things progress... plus this is number 2 not 1, if they said it about the first one, then maybe hard to believe

I don't believe it will, but I could be wrong.
I remember hearing something about Naughty Dog developing a new dev kit that would fully utilize the PS3s power a few months ago.
