this is becoming a continuous stupid move by Sony.

shocky165446d ago

I'm personally not to fond of schemes like this. Hopefully there will be a public demo in PSN though.

Serjikal_Strike5446d ago

Sounds like a great idea and a guaranteed reserve for me....

if its different the the beta level then hell yea im in!!!!

saint_john_paul_ii5446d ago

thats the reason why.

people like us are going to buy it because we know Uncharted is going to be awesome. But how about the people who has yet to play Uncharted?

Yes I know what you are going to say, "stupid idiots dont know what a good game is, they didnt buy Uncharted". look at the Big 3 games coming out this year:

-MW2
-BIOSHOCK 2
-Assassins Creed 2

when they see these games on store shelves this holiday with Uncharted 2, do you think they are going to buy U2? theres a higher chance they will pick up MW2 and AC2 than U2.

you want to show them the demo as quickly as possible so that they know what they might miss out on if they buy those multiplats. yes, of course they will release the demo publicly a week before the game comes out, but people already have plans to buy the other games.

It seems kind of smart to me imo. I know im buying this on day 1.

If I pre-order a game I must really want it and unless that demo is doing something different than the game will I would rather have a T-shirt or hat or something I can show off. The art books are lame, the in game weapons are lame, and so are the early demo codes.

dajoker45446d ago

When i bought inFamous i got the uncharted beta and the multiplayer demo.

50CALheadshot5446d ago

me too but its over june 28th.
technically we are in the closed beta.

DFogz5446d ago

Yeah, when I bought InFamous I got the beta and the demo codes (with the Revenge Booster code) I thought the guy at the counter didn't know the beta codes were inside so he was giving me an extra. I was surprised!

Either way, it's only early access for the demo, it'll be available soon after.

SaberEdge5446d ago

Well, I was going to get Uncharted 2 anyway, but I guess now I will reserve it so that I can get the demo. Uncharted 2 looks so awesome. The first Uncharted is still my favorite game on the PS3.

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1472d ago (Edited 1472d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1472d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1473d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1472d ago (Edited 1472d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1473d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931472d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
