Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Equal to Gears of War 3.0?

Split-screen: "Some of the multiplayer features for Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2 include 'in & out cover, blindfire, coop moves like moving things obstructive paths, destroying walls with RPG, 3-player cooperative mode, playing as Uncharted new/old characters and regions within the new plot, 2 different variants for the Competitive mode, common 5v5 team deathmatch mode & single capture the flag modes,' according to Jake Osuwah, Sony PR. 'Uncharted 2 Multiplayer is very well structured…they brought the single player essence into MP now more specifically.' Which is all well and good. But is Uncharted 2's multiplayer equivalent to Gears of War 3, even hypothetically?"

If it equals Gears 3 then that means it surpasses Gears 2.

And since Gears 3 isn't announced,then that means that Naughty Dog have conquered time.Only a God can conquer time,therefore,the "Dog" in Naughty Dog should be reversed so it appropriately reflects what they have achieved.

I'm bored,someone send me a link to a Cat doing something stupid or something.

It should become Kill.switch, because that is what Gears of War copied their cover system from.

But one thing is for sure, between Uncharted 2 and Quantuum theory Gears is going to have some healthy competition.

Spoken like a true ignorant fanboy Casey.. No surprise here.

Currently Playing:

Halo Wars
Ninja Blade
X-Men Orgins
Fallout 3 : Broken Steel
A bunch of misc XBLA titles

What new games are you playing on the PS3? You make it sound like once a game is a month old it's no longer worth playing.

As much as you and the other PS3 zealots on this site are spending your days trying to bash a console you hate just know you are losing that fight man. The 360 is strong and looks to only be getting stronger.. And no 2 bit hack website making up bullflop claims is going to change that.

@Ulti: Yes, it happens on both sides but one side is deafening in their volume while the others are just an occasional troll here and there. My comment is talking about the examples right here in front of us. Point me to a PS3 game thread where there are a bunch of 360 trolls and I will type this same message.

Do you not see the problem with this story? Why not just come out and say "Uncharted 2 Multiplayer is Excellent". Why make a comparison to a Gears game? And a Gears game that doesn't even exist? Flamebait simple as that and you can see by the response from N4G that it was mission accomplished.

Listen to your own comment. 2 YEARS AGO! So I would say any payback is now paid in FULL. The PS3 wasn't bashed for more than 2 years but I will say during that 2 years the 360 was being bashed by PS3 fans just not as loud. So now they've had 2 years to flap their gums in some childish payback scenario but now it's gone past that.

Okay Crab, so what are 360 fanboys doing? Aren't they doing the exact same thing? Bashing a console they don't own?

The PS3 is getting strong too. Lots of games coming out between this year and next year.

If you want to talk about "PS3 zealots", then talk about "360 zealots" as well.

Now 360 fanboys know how it feels when their console is bashed because they did the same crap with the PS3 two years ago.

well, WAY more people play gears of war than uncharted, if their is ANY popular 3rd person online tactical shooter out there that ps3 has it wouldn't be uncharted, it would be MGS online, and even that game falls in comparison to gears's online record.

edit, this reminds me of the "killzone2 VS halo3" competition in terms of online popularity.

MGO (MGS online) would be a nice 3rd person game - if they wouldn't be so stupid to ignore the PSN ID and use their own Konami ID nobody wants.

So, that leaves the 3rd person games to Socom Confrontation and Warhawk (still played a lot these days!). Uncharted is a single player game - currently, so why even compare. And then, there is a strong FPS side which draws people away, what you want ? UC2 will have an impact for sure.

ohhh, I had a laugh. You are a funny little man aren't you?? I just can't take you seriously because you are so funny.

So what am I playing as a PS3 user...let's see.

inFamous, Killzone 2, UFC09, Resident Evil 5, flOwer, Burn Zombie Burn, SF4, Bionic Commando, X-man Wolverine, soon Uncharted 2 beta.

If you can list multiplat games than I can too.

The 360 is very week now. No new games that are actually good. This year the 360 is weak so far...and will end the year week by the look of things. Unlike the PS3 which has a very strong lineup for the fall.

That would be: Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, MAG, Ratchet & Clank a Crack in Time, I don't even wanna go into the PSN games.

As for the 360: Forza 3 maybe and than what??? Some DLC for GTA4 and Halo 3??? don't make me laugh!!

You just have a hard time accepting that 08 and 09 is the PS3's year not the 360's.

The headline is basically asking if what Jake Osuwah, a Sony PR, thinks is true or not. If anything, he's trying to point out how great Uncharted 2's multiplayer is but even if it's own opinion, what's the basis given that nothing is known about Gears 3? No one, not even gaming journalists, ask that question without SOMETHING to back their views up. But hey, free speech and all.

This was taken from his official account. That's why it's under "News".

On N4G, there have been plenty of announcements and news that were discovered through the developers' official Twitter accounts. I agree that discredible info often seeps through from Twitter from people who aren't even in the industry. This guy has played Uncharted 2. He works for Sony. He felt it was so good that it was the next Gears. And you don't make statements like those lightly - he obviously knew that, because he played Gears of War as well.

First you said he didn't say any such thing. Now you're throwing around some lofty ideals. I can't convince you to think otherwise. And it would be useless if you're going to just change gears (no pun intended) when things don't go your way. But whatever. Free speech and all.

"Sony and Naughty Dog have higher standards than that broken disaster of an online game. "

Broken disaster? Act like a drama queen much? I've played Gears 2 and it is so far from a broken disaster please spare us the bullsh*t.

Why does every PS3 exclusive seem to have to kill a 360 game? Why does another game need to have a giant sh*t taken on it in order to prove that Uncharted is a good game?

It's like gaming through the mind of a 13 year old.

Gears 2 has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is AAA blockbuster worthy of the praise.

Your fanboyism reached a new level. Calling Gears 2 a AAA title. Gears 2 is a broken game. How can you sit there and say that when the rank system that is in place today is different then what is in the disc? They use a level up system now. Gears 2 is a down grade from gears 1 in alot of people's opinion. The fast pace, basic game play was a hella fun in the 1st gears. Instead of improving the idea, they slowed the whole online game down.Use stun nades,shield glitching and the 2 piece is even screwed up. The 2 piece is a melee hit then shotgun blast that work well in the 1st gears. Though I dont use it, it made you rethink on how to attack up close. Myself and alot of other people that I know say the same thing, Gears of War 2 is a broken game. The match making is so half-ass too. Atleast in the 1st gears you knew right a way that you were in a laggy room and knew who the host is. Now you get a random host that will bail on the game and not even know it.

Anytime you have to make a major change like a ranking system that is such a big part of the online component. That disqualifies it as triple A. Patches are good to add more depth and fix bugs. But a whole type of ranking system?

I dont care if Gears 3 is multiplat or not. If it plays like Gears 2. I will not be getting it.

The reason people are calling Gears 2 a broken game, is likely because 360 fangirls went on and on about socom and any other PS3 exclusive that required even one update going back to Warhawk. It's to be expected that when Gears 2 online has problems, this would happen.

This $h1t just feeds itself!

the title doesn't even starting to make sense no matter how many time I tried to comprehend it in my head! Uncharted 2 is still in the beta and Gears 3 is not even announced yet! both games still with unknown credibility, yet already been compared?! what the hell is wrong with game journalism lately? jumping guns here and there...simply PATHETIC! I think that HHG guy possibly had gave birth to a new era of journalism which makes everybody writes an article with titles that end with a "?"! lately, even IGN is being infected!

ok, I know that maybe Uncharted 2's MP will be great and we know that Gears 2's online was/is a mess (I don't know because I don't have one), but Uncharted 2 = Gears 3?? that is just wrong in so many ways!!

5 - Uncharted Gameplay
is much better than Gears. In Gears you move like a tank. You can't climb, no platforming elements, you can't jumb and you don't have melee combos like Uncharted.

Uncharted has always been better so i would say that Uncharted MP will be better than Gears MP.

Edit: Well that's why i say Uncharted Gameplay is better. In terms of cover and the shooting mechanics Gears and Uncharted are almost the same with the edge to Gears but Uncharted you also have platforming, stealth kills and much much better melee combat.

Now with Uncharted 2 you will also have traverse fighting as well as much much improved stealth combat. So all in all Uncharted from a gameplay perspective is better than Gears IMO. I just hate the fact you move very slow in Gears. I mean, when i am sprinting to get motar it is so freaking hard to turn my player and i often run next to a wall and then i stop. Uncharted on the other hand is silky smooth,fast and seamless between shooting/cover, platforming and melee/stealth kills.

in Gears your wearing a damn Steel or Metal suit armor or whatever the hell Epic made them out of. If you favor Uncharted fine but these are 2 totally diffrent styles of games here. Nate also wears a T and jeans, much more suitable for climbing and stuff.

Gears is a straight up shooter

5.6 - LOL
Just the thought of those dudes scaling mountains in all that gear makes me LOL literally.

Maybe Epic should go for it, Modify the UE3 to UE3:Beefcake engine. I can see the interview now. Follow me.

s2Dc@ Cliff- Sup bruh? Your here to tells us about the new UE3:BC engine and the new upcoming Gears. Awsome! Jump right in dude. Hold nothing back.

Clifford- So yeah, The UE3:Beefcake engine is basically a modified version of the exisiting UE3 engine that we put in place for our upcoming Block Buster title- Gears Of War3:The Climb For Bigger Guns.Its basically the UE3 engine on steroids and it really pumps the characters up.

This engine is speacial because as you know, Alpha/Bravo Teams wear extremely heavy armor, and here we wanted to emphasize on the platform elements we are introducing. So, to realistically bring that into fruation in the world of Gears, the new engine allows the player to to grow stronger as you climb, you will actually be able to see Marcus's biceps grow even bigger as you progress, maybe even 20x's BIGGER. The acquired strenght and muscle growth will also attribute to Marcus's speed and mobility while climbing and jumping.

s2Dc- ok Cliff thats sounds UNBELIEVAAAAAAAAABO! Whats your favorite thing about the new Gears, care to share anything new with us? C'moooon spill it!

Cliif- Ok, ok, Theres a part in the game where Marcus is halfway up a very high mountain and he hasnt quite gotten acustomed to mountain climbing in his gear. Then suddenly, The ledge that Marcus is holding on to begins to give way. It starts to crumble beneath his finger tips and he begins to slip. But Marcus, being the ever quick thinker that he is, yells out- "JACK!! RIP THIS ARMOR OFF OF ME. I'M SLIPPING!!! So there hangs, Marcus Phoenix, suspended half way up a mountain wearing nothing but a bandana and draws.

s2Dc- LMAO Wow cliff, thats nutz!!! so what happens to Marcus bruh?

Cliff- I really cant say dude, E3 is next week. Be there and you might find out.

s2Dc- Ok, ok Cliff, its been a pleasure. Thanks for your time and GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ISH! and in the words of Cole- "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!! !"
