Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has a single-player campaign that is roughly 8 or 9 hours long, reports reveal. The quest is full of amazing set-pieces that definitely pushes your PlayStation 3 system to the limit, so it will definitely satisfy many. But others think the single-player game is much too short for a full-priced $60 game.
Of course, the game also has a fully functional multiplayer mode that is sure to keep many busy for much longer than the single-player game lasts, and will surely inject the series with long-term replay value.
However according to reviewer Nathan Irvine from GamesRadar, who revealed the shortness of the single-player campaign, the game also includes a much harder difficulty setting called the “Crusher”. This difficulty mode does not unlock until after you beat the game once, so players will be unable to fully complete the single-player without playing through it at least twice. And the tougher difficulty is likely to give the single-player quest a bit more length.

Uncharted 3 is planned to be supported with a host of cooperative and multiplayer downloadable content, but no single-player stuff. Why?
Speaking with Eurogamer, game director Justin Richmond said that it’s pretty simple: they’d much rather be working on the next full game.
“There’s a very specific reason,” said Richmond. “Whenever we sit down and think we should do some single-player DLC, someone pitches something and we realize – that’s a five hour level.”
“We’d rather build out another game than we would do episodic content,” he continued. “We’re so small that we can’t afford to have a whole team working on DLC.”
EG notes that Uncharted 3 was built by a team of 90 people, which is reportedly only a fifth of the people building Call of Duty.

Uncharted 3 Won't Have Single-Player DLC
Naughty dog confirms that it won't spend time on downloadable content for the campaign.
Uncharted 3 is set to receive plenty of post-release content, but none of it will be extra missions for the single-player campaign.
In an interview with Eurogamer, game director Justin Richmond confirmed that Naughty Dog would rather spend time developing a new game than new single-player content for Uncharted 3.
"Whenever we sit down and think we should do some single-player DLC, someone pitches something and we realize - that's a five hour level," Richmond said. "We'd rather build out another game than we would do episodic content."
"Dialling back our ambition is difficult," added community strategist Arne Meyer.
Richmond went on to say that there aren't enough people on Naughty Dog's development team to spend time on DLC plus other games.
"We're so small that we can't afford to have a whole team working on DLC," he said. "That's why we don't do it. We'd much rather be working on the next game, producing the game quickly and having people play another adventure."
Uncharted 3 will be released on November 1st.
