"drake's deception" kinds gives away that either drake deceives or gets deceived, by who ? obviously only ND knows. but if the high point of the game is going to revolve around this scenario wouldnt it make sense to kinda keep it under the rug ? and catch everyone by surprise, coz everybody is going to pop the disc and wait for that moment alluded by the title. they got away with "among thieves" as it was rather vague, but this one is kinda in your face.

I think it's a pretty lame title to be honest.

I don't think the name is that bad... I mean, the first one was Drake's Fortune, now this is Drake's Deception, does it matter that much?

I really hope Drake's doing the deceiving... like he's pretending to help some bad guys when really he's throwing them off the treasure trail while he gets it himself... :P I know maybe dumb idea but I think it would be cool. More interesting in my opinion than being deceived by Sully, which would just be lame in my opinion.

im with you. it would be refreshing to see the main protagonist doing the deceiving for a change, how many movies, comics, tv shows, games are there where the hero gets deceived by his friend ? a whole lot! and btw my favorite title is "among thieves", followed by drake's fortune and drake's deception, i got goose bumps in the scene where elena says "honor among thieves huh" and nate replies "something like that". simply epic!

The last name is Drake just like before he was look for Drake's fortune. He is finishing quests his family never did. It could be how in the past the Drake's deceived someone and now he is on the run who knows for sure.

I'm actually okay with the title, deception can play out in different ways.

Now I thought Among Theives was pretty bad, which was just completely lifted from Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. IIRC Uncharted 2 was called Honor Among Thieves for a while too.

I think this should answer your questions:

According to Naughty Dog's creative director Amy Hennig, the theme of deception plays out in multiple ways throughout the threequel, from Drake doing the deceiving to Drake being deceived to some mysterious deception about Drake's very identity. The story focuses on the hero's relationship with his mentor and father figure, fan fave Victor "Sully" Sullivan, and has him searching for a legendary lost city that will ultimately take him to the Arabian Peninsula and the vast wasteland of the Rub' al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter.

What irks me is people who use the word "irk".

When I first heard the title, I wasn't bothered by it, but I just felt it was somewhat lackluster.

I think Sully will deceive him. I don't know why, but I just have that feeling. That would suck because I like sully.

"drake's deception" kinds gives away that either drake deceives or gets deceived, by who ? obviously only ND knows. but if the high point of the game is going to revolve around this scenario wouldnt it make sense to kinda keep it under the rug ? and catch everyone by surprise, coz everybody is going to pop the disc and wait for that moment alluded by the title. they got away with "among thieves" as it was rather vague, but this one is kinda in your face.

Yeah I know. It's already been said in a couple of things that I read that Nathan does get deceived, and then Nathan himself deceives someone. Its also been said that Nathan finds out about his ancestory. So maybe he gets deceived by Sir Frances Drake. Can't wait, November 1st is a long time away.

Sully Deceiving Drake has already been played out in the first Uncharted. Im sure people will be expecting it to be Sully again but I reckon it's going to be something no one saw coming, like Drake deceiving everyone :o Heck I doubt the whole premise of UC3 will be about a character deceiving another. Im sure there is a deeper meaning to the title that we wont know until we play the game Nov 1st.
