Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)

I for one am looking forward to Uncharted's MP as well. Recording whole matches and editing them? It's going to be crazy.

I feel like I'll have fun, but that it will kind of be a let down with the cover system abuse. Of course, grenades will bring you out... but I just hope that the multiplayer is a great success.

I'm definitely looking forward to the SP though.

Uncharted 2: Multiplayer Demo Details

There's so much going on in this demo that's it's really hard to pick where to begin describing it. I talked to the developers the other day, and they said the purpose of this freebie is to give you as much of the multiplayer game as they can in a reasonably sized file. So, you give Naughty Dog 1.5 GB, and they're giving you four maps, four competitive modes, two co-op modes, the much-hyped cinema mode, the ability to create custom games, access to new skins, about 80 percent of the boosters you'll find in the final game, and so much more.

In terms of maps, you're getting the same Plaza and Village settings you played on or at least saw during the beta along with the Ice Cave and Temple.

Similarly, Deathmatch and Plunder are back this time around -- both packing variations such as different difficulties for Plunder and weapon sets such as shotguns/snipers and pistols/grenades for DM -- but joined with Elimination and Chain Reaction. A round-based game, Elimination has two teams squaring off with the objective of killing everyone on the other team. Wipe out the other guys three out of five times, and you're the big winner. Chain Reaction has you capturing flags, but you have to do them in a specific order - one team works out from their base needing to capture 1 through 5 while the other team starts out from their home and needs to snag 5 through 1.

If you don't like any of the default settings, this demo's going to allow you to mess around with the options for score limits, friendly fire and so on as well as letting you set up matches for just your friends. If you play with strangers, the new skill ranking system will pair you with similarly experienced players.

Of course, all of this multiplayer mayhem plays into the game's cinema mode where you can save matches, replay them, move the camera around, and do nifty green screen stuff. All of the tools that will be in the final cinema portion of the game are going to be here for you to play around with.

A final feather in the demo's cap is that it's going to have the fully fleshed-out money/store system so that you can take the cash you're earning in multiplayer and buy new skins, boosters, co-op weapon upgrades and taunts.

Sadly, none of the stuff you unlock and none of the cinemas you create will carry over to the retail release of Uncharted 2. Similarly, your multiplayer rank will be wiped when the final game hits stores. However, Uncharted 2 packs a built in Twitter link and it's going to be active in this demo. If you enter in your Twitter username and password, the game will automatically Tweet your special accomplishments.

So, when is all of this greatness coming to a PS3 near you? Well, if you preorder the game from GameStop, you can get into the demo exclusively from Sept. 15 to Sept. 28, 2009. On Sept. 29, 2009, the demo will open to everyone and stay that way until Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is out on the streets.

Damn that's crazy for a demo.

Re: Uncharted 2 (PS3)

Definitely on my most wanted list. I really enjoyed the first one, and, with the developer's track record, I can only see this one as being better in every way.

Good find, I like that list. Looks like there's more treasures this time around. I also like that none of the trophies are secret this time, and I like that there's nothing major for online play.

Same here. Hoops, uncharted and GOW3 will be only game purchases for AGES.
