Uncharted 2 MP demo up early News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

14 September, 2009

The European Uncharted 2 multiplayer demo [beta to some - Ed.] appears to have started a day early, with users posting videos of themselves playing on YouTube.

Naughty Dog's Evan Wells spotted the clips and posted them on his Twitter.

"I Just downloaded it and tried to? get online and to my surprise I could actually play," wrote a surprised PixelJimi on the YouTube comments section.

This appears to only be available to those who have special pre-order codes from participating retailers, as you lot pointed out.

We're off to test this now. Let us know below how you get on.

I take it this was a pre-order incentive?

Ah, yes: here . Bah.

No, it's a demo. The beta was running (in the EU) shortly after E3 started.

Its a public beta. So it says when you download it and play it. It is awesome by the way with new modes and maps to play and a store to spend your loot.

Lol @ sadist marking everybody down (gave everybody 1 up for measure.) I can't play the first Uncharted till they fix the firmware so I'll hold off on this for a while, but it does look great.

"The game has gone gold. How the hell is it a beta? "

They're testing both the servers and the client software, and any bugs or balancing issues that crop up will be fixed by the time the game is released (in the case of the client software with a day 0 patch). Sounds like a beta to me.

That reasoning could qualify ALL online games as beta.

"I’m pretty sure just reading reviews of our game won’t be enough to hold you over until we launch on October 13, so be sure to check out our Multiplayer Demo."

From the developers

What a poorly written article

Why didn't the writer say that this is for people who pre0ordered the game from a retailer who was offering early demo access

Turning the demo into an open beta to test the servers is the smartest thing they could have done at this point. Good call.

Soooo... where do I place my pre-order if I don't live in America or the UK in order to get access?

People like to forget that uncharted 2 has already had beta. Pretty sure they know what will happen to their server based on the previous beta. I can't find a link saying it is a beta even so would someone post it?

When does the actual public demo get released?
