UPDATE: Arne Meyer Community Strategist has stated the following "Bend Studio is really the best bet for any info related to the Uncharted NGP game, but I couldn't help but want to jump in and mention that the NGP storyline is set sometime before Drake's Fortune (and not a prequel). I'll leave the rest for the NGP/Uncharted NGP press campaign."
The following was a statement from Sony given to Joystiq.
Welcome back. Glad to see that PSN is finally back up, and thankful for all the hard work Sony has put forth in this all and how professionally they conducted themselves. I'd first like to apologize for the lack of updates here. With PSN being down it really messed up the press, and gave me more free time to go out and about and actually go to a place that you all call the great outdoors, but don't worry i'm back now and ready to catch up.
In this batch of updates i'll be posting various news updates from various interviews that where published during the PSN downtime.

Today Naughty Dog revealed their trailer for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Before we get started here's the official (dubstep) trailer for Uncharted 3.
Quote from Twitter: @geoffkeighley: @cbalestra Congrats on a great event, can't wait for that Jak exclusive!
So what do you all think this could mean? Are Jak and Daxter coming back, could it just be an IGN exclusive Uncharted 3 multiplayer skin, maybe an exclusive interview Geoff had with Christophe about the future of Jak and Daxter. Did Geoff mention Chistophe and not Naughty Dog for a reason?
Feel free to speculate and give your opinions as Naughty Dog, and Jak and Daxter appearing in the sentence can only be good, right?
The 57th issue of the Playstation: The Official Magazine hits stores today, (that's right we're actually reporting something pretty early and on time for once) and includes info on the much awaited 2011 title, "Uncharted 3". The magazine chats with Naughty dog devs, which reveals details about the plot, characters and sand.
Here are the details below:
The main character in the game "Drake" spends most of his time exploring the Arabian dunes of Rub' al Khali.
As some of you may know a devastating 9.0 earthquake/tsunami swept through Japan on March 11th, and set off warnings as far as the west coast of the United States and South America. Because of this all Japan faces a nuclear crises, and so does the rest of the world if it is not fixed in time, but that isn't why we are posting this. We are posting this to tell everyone that by hitting the donate button on the left hand portion of the site, you'll be taken directly to the Red Cross relief efforts for Japan. The purpose of this relief effort is to provide money, food, shelter to all those effected by this crises, and to help repair what was destroyed. I understand we are a little late on this, but it's better late then never, and that here at The-Kennel we actually value the lives of everyone that was effected. Now i'm sure you are thinking "but why Japan, and not Haiti, Dark__Gamer!? Well, that's a simple answer. Japan is the HQ for some of the biggest companies in technology, including Sony and Sony Computer Entertainment. While you might not think this is a big deal as we have SCEA, and they can handle it themselves. I can assure you that this is not the case.
