At Sony’s press conference, Sony showed off several minutes of gameplay of the single-player campaign. It takes place aboard a tanker, on a dark, stormy night, much like Metal Gear Solid 2.

We first see Drake stealthily sneaking through the ship, knocking out the guards as he sees them. It looks a little similar to the second mission in Uncharted 2, where you had to sneak past the guards.
 
Eventually, Drake reaches a high walkway where he begins to drop to the bottom-floor via a series of girders in the bottom. Unfortunately, the bad guys knew he was coming, and hold him at gunpoint by several guards. Of course, this os freakin' Nathan Drake. A few punches and head smashes later, he's free, but one of the remaining  guards tries to escape by car...apparently forgetting he's on a boat.  The idiot crashes into the wall, creating a leak in the side of the boat that quickly starts filling the room. 
 
As Drake races to escape, the boat begins to tip due to the added water weight. Even worse, he's being attacked by even more baddies. Luckily, we're shown one new move in which to take them down: planting a grenade on an enemy, disposing of him instantly. Nice.
 
Eventually, the boat tips over on its side, slamming Drake into the pool of water below. He hurries to the surface for air, and finds it in a small pocket at the top of a hall. He finally gets out, but not before he has to run down a hallway with doors bursting at every turn from the water pressure, like that scene from Titanic.
 
Needless to say, Uncharted 3 is looking fantastic. The game looks beautiful, and the attention to detail is amazing, such as the chandeliers that swing with the tipping boat or the water that moves extreme realism. And a trailer played right after confirmed the return of the usual Uncharted cast: Scully, Chloe, and Drake's blond girlfriend, Elena.  Can you ask for more?
