New Uncharted 2 multiplayer demo incoming

ya better go ahead and swallow your pride to go (dunno how you hate that store but whatever, maybe a bad experience idk or care) preorder your copy, get the beta code then cancel your preorder and get your money back a few days later cause gamestop is the only place to get access from at the moment. unless you are with ign or something and they give codes

NO MORE PACHTER... Aw, this is Joystiq. Guess we won't be able to stop that.

there's an awful lot of screaming faces on joystiq today.

It's the woman from that Dead Space: Extraction box art.

It's been photoshopped on 4 other articles before this.

way more than twice

Yes, because what I said totally means it has only happened twice and has nothing to do with the fact that I've seen it twice.

Totally.

I think they are spending more time on the shop than they have been on the article. Maybe you guys should do an article on how patcher predicts there will be a massphotoshoping on joystiq

"I think they are spending more time on the shop than they have been on the article."

Well, they probably have a lot of time on their hands since all they need to do is write a sometimes snide paragraph and quote another publication for almost ALL of their "articles"

A new Joystiq meme... great...

YES IT IS!

I can't be sure, but is her face also shopped into the Brutal Legend story just before the actual article about the box art for DSE? You know, on the ghoul/demon thing behind Jables. No, not the statue, the other ghoulish thing.

OH GOD NO! Ha ha ha!

It's not a photoshop, Jem warned you to not look at too long or it'll get stuck in your head.

Guess everyone stared at it too long.

I just got on today without seeing the post before and it's in my head too. How do you explain that?

Time distortion. You'll get it stuck in your head eventually, retroactively.

or week.

I WANT IT FOREVER!

What are you talking about? The Multiplayer is Great!

I concur. I liked the multiplayer but stopped after a few games to just check it out. I would like to fight helicopters now.

The multiplayer was just your regular deathmatch and "capture the flag". Why people get excited to play that in every single game is beyond me. I want a taste of the real Uncharted, the great single player it's going to have.

It looks like single-player is surely dying out in favor of multi-player, of course making maps is easier than a scripted single-player mission and many more prefer multiplayer, I'm one of the few that's exclusively a single-player gamer.

I've got no problems with MP as long as the SP experience isn't degraded as a result, but I agree... I'd like to see a SP demo much more than a second MP demo.

I agree with you the Uncharted MP is ok but weve seen all of it in others places.
And actually done better as well.

It's decent but im getting uncharted for the SP, since that's what Uncharted is all about.

@ Chin-Poh
Please stfu if you don't know what you're talking about.

Quoting from the PSBlog that Joystiq kindly linked in this post:

[Just so you know who's answering the questions, 'AmyH' is the Creative Director Amy Hennig and 'Evan Wells' is the Co-President of ND]

"Comment From xaos
Was there any concern when deciding to add multiplayer that the new focus might hinder the single player experience? Any pitfalls to balancing the two?

AmyH: Actually, developing the multiplayer experience has enabled us to improve and enhance the single player experience, because it's allowed us to really tune all the play mechanics and get a lot of great feedback along the way.
We made sure when we set out to create the multiplayer component of the game, that it wouldn't impact the single player experience negatively in any way. We expanded the team to accommodate the additional development, and assigned people to focus exclusively on multiplayer or single-player. That way both experiences are equally well-developed."

Also, good news for those who don't like multiplayer trophies:

"Comment From Havoc_Maker
Will Uncharted 2 have multiplayer trophies?

Evan Wells: We're still finalizing our final list of Trophies and it looks like we might include a couple of MP trophies, but we don't want to have any that require any amount of grinding to rack up a ton of kills or wins."

So no, single-player *definitely* isn't dying out in favor of multiplayer, they didn't even want to compromise the singleplayer trophies.

Sorry dude, guess I shouldn't be talking considering I don't have a PS3 and can't play any of the games. : )

@ tmac

Do you really need a single player demo? You know the single player is going to be awesome.

umm hey t-mac

There was co-op in the multiplayer beta as well. Deathmatch is always deathmatch but the little treasure game was a little more than just CTF. But, you have to actually play it for longer than one or two matches to get the hang of the flow and teamwork elements down. Daisy chaining those golden statues is pure unadulterated fun.

Like I said if you want to get an idea about the campaign you should have played the 3 person co-op mode. I don't know what it is with you lately but you are so negative about EVERYTHING. In fact, there was a helicopter in the co-op so there.

Keep 'em coming, Joystiq!

HIYO!

Watch, next post is a Pachter post with Dead Space girl.
