Hello. The statement about the Xbox 360 not being able to run the game is somewhat subjective and should be rephrased. The actual source (Footnote #18) does not mention anything about the Xbox 360. However another source (Footnote #19) is more relevant the the Xbox 360 subject. [[User:Anaverageguy|Anaverageguy]] ([[User talk:Anaverageguy|talk]]) 06:33, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

== Merge accolades list ==
==Subtitle==
The "Among Thieves" subtitle does not appear in the teaser, and looks disjointed from the "Uncharted 2" title on the Game Informer cover I'm going to hazard a guess that that's the name of their article, rather than the game's subtitle (like "Drake's Fortune" in the first). Any news otherwise? [[User:SynergyBlades|SynergyBlades]] ([[User talk:SynergyBlades|talk]]) 23:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


Per recent discussions ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_149#Revisiting_awards_tables_and_lists] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_147#Request_for_comment_by_WPVG_editors_at_an_FLC] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Video_games/Archive_5#Award_tables:_include_website_awards_or_not?]) on standalone accolades lists, I think [[List of accolades received by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves]] should be merged back into this article. The table is far too short to warrant a separate article per [[WP:SPLIT]]. The relevant guideline is at [[WP:VG/AWARDS]]. [[User:Axem Titanium|Axem Titanium]] ([[User talk:Axem Titanium|talk]]) 05:37, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
I would have agreed certainly, however I just checked the Naughty Dog website and they themselves refer to this game as Among Thieves. Who knows, maybe it'll grow on us? :) [[Special:Contributions/58.7.66.134|58.7.66.134]] ([[User talk:58.7.66.134|talk]]) 00:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

::Per [[WP:SPLIT]], the main UC2 page has about 26k characters, which is far below the length guidelines for a split. The prose on the accolades page would also be dramatically reduced to be less redundant to this page so it would have even less than the 1.6k characters it has now.

==Information==
This forum thread covers all the major information released to date on the game. It even has sources for all of the information. We can't use this as a source directly but it would sure be a good place to get information on the game.

==Images==
Hello. I think we should add one or two images on this page to illustrate the game a bit more. [http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=345546 Here] is a link to some screenshots.

== Uncharted Demo ==

There is a uncharted 2 demo coming apparently in August on the 19th. Although the only known access is preordering Uncharted 2 at GameStop. (The info is at the Gamestop Website within the info regarding UC2) I want to mention this in the article but I am not sure where to put it. Someone may want to put it up.

:It would need a reliable source, if only Gamestop has said it I'm not sure if it's reliable enough. I'll have a look though.

== Uncharted Demo ==

I went back and changed the 'beta' to 'demo' on the Play.com reference because GameStop already has a listing for it and the 1up interview with Naughty Dog has confirmed this - http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=3&cId=3175544

"1UP: And you guys are doing a demo, correct?

EW: We have the multiplayer demo starting on September 15 as a two-week exclusive with GameStop initially. So that takes us to the end of September, and then the next two weeks leading up to our launch date -- October 13 -- it will be open to everybody."

Heck...I would be under good reason to remove the reference to Play.com altogether as it says "starting on September 15 as a two-week exclusive with GameStop initially" in no way stating it has gone with Play.com also.

Again...So far there is a demo coming to Gamestop where its existence has been confirmed by Naughty Dog. I have not seen when Play.com's site when this 'beta' starts...But if only a demo has been public knowledge I can only reason that the 'beta' is a demo and Play.com has been misinformed. I suggest it be left that way or the reference be removed altogether unless you have another source.

== Uncharted Series NOT Coming to Xbox - Can we lock the page? ==

Someone keeps editing the page for Uncharted 2 with no sources or links saying Uncharted 1 and 2 will be coming to the Xbox 360, which is not only untrue because of a lack of references, but because [[Naughty Dog]] is a Second-Party developer for Sony. I've already undone edits 5+ times from Xbox Fanboys who keep saying things like PS3 sucks or various other forms, can we lock the page to prevent vandalism?

[[User:Salem Wolf|Salem Wolf]] ([[User talk:Salem Wolf|talk]]) 06:34, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==

It seems that one contributor continues to delete the GameStats score simply because it is lower than the other two scores. GameStats is a respected site and has a place in providing information in this article. Becasuse of these repeated acts of vandalism, that user should be blocked from editing this article.

== Reception all positive? ==

So far it seems the reception section is entirely positive... but this game does not have a perfect score. If you look at the other articles for highly top rated games, you'll see there are some negative points.

== Designers ==

Can someone please research a few more designers other than Amy Hennig (Creative Director)?
I unfortunately don't have access to the game anymore, but there should be a credits section of some sort in there somewhere where you would find some other key people to add to Designers.

Also, is adding another section for Writers just for Amy Hennig really necessary? I think she's better portrayed for her role as a Creative Director.

Merge accolades list

[edit]

Per recent discussions ([1] [2] [3]) on standalone accolades lists, I think List of accolades received by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves should be merged back into this article. The table is far too short to warrant a separate article per WP:SPLIT. The relevant guideline is at WP:VG/AWARDS. Axem Titanium (talk) 05:37, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. I split this page in the first place because the original article was tagged for being too long. --Osh33m (talk) 19:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:SPLIT, the main UC2 page has about 26k characters, which is far below the length guidelines for a split. The prose on the accolades page would also be dramatically reduced to be less redundant to this page so it would have even less than the 1.6k characters it has now. Axem Titanium (talk) 21:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well I guess if it is occurring with all the other awards articles then for sake of uniformity it must be done. --Osh33m (talk) 14:52, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
