They should just stick to one playable character namely Nathan, don't need no skanky Lara clone.

But... I like skanky Lara clones :(

And having two playable characters would make the gameplay more varied. If they stick with Elena they could have some Dead Rising type of photo/filming sections. Or they could make whatever girl they choose have different abilities than Nathan. The girl could crawl through tight places and go different routes through the ruins etc, and they could help each other out like in Lost Viking. It would be fun.

I was actually waiting the whole game to get to play as Elena in the first one. She was there all the time, shooting and filming, but you could never control her other than during the jetski sections. Missed opportunity in my opinion. Could have made the game both longer and more varied.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

I was hoping for maybe bonus levels from when they were separated.

Actually it's not a good idea because you're just dividing the moveset into two, it's like you have one character that is retarded and can't do certain things, two character games never work out well, it's hard enough to tune one character, now you have two and the two will never be balanced, one will always be worse than the other, the player gets used to one character and then you're introducing a different moveset and different weapons, your environment has to be divided into areas where the player can't even access them unless they're playing as a certain character and has to wait until a later part, it sounds more diverse but in practice it never works well because it's NOT FUN, it makes the character you're playing as feel limiting because you're always running into things where the game would say "you're not strong enough or you can fit through the gap".

Would be idea to have you choose one character, and play through the game with the same characte. Levels could be different based on which character you choose, if the characters are seperated a lot. Elena was seperated from Drake almost 50% of the game, imagine the replay value if you could play as Elena as well.

Great news. I was worried about this after all the negativity around here regarding sales. This was a first day purchase for me, so obviously the sequel will be. I hope they can the cartoony Jak shit and stick with Uncharted. I still want to see a "24 " game with this engine though.

Right now I'm playing Assassin's Creed, which I really like. However, it makes me appreciate the smooth, polished controls in Uncharted even more.

The people who bitched about tearing in Uncharted must really hate AC. BTW, does anyone know what the patch for AC does?
