Sony's "Electrifying" Announcement Revealed!

so when will Sid Meier's will wright tycoon be available?

that doesnt bother me gives me something else to do

I might have missed it but Uncharted 2 having multiplayer seems news to me. I can't imagine how it could be, we shall see.

It's been one hell of a week for PS3 owners.

The fact that Uncharted even has multiplayer has me worried now...

YES FINALLY! this is entirely the way i wan't this industry to go!...

Bah! That's not news, Sony.

i'd prefer a demo for the single player because multiplayer in uncharted sounds terrible. but i do like naughty dog and i have confidence in them that they'll at least make something kind-of -sort-of decent out of a multiplayer mode. i don't know.. we'll see.

and inFamous still looks amazing.

Uncharted is not about the MP, but more about the SP experience. so i could care less about the MP beta vouchers.

Why would you put MP in Uncharted. Did they forget how to make games?

I already pre-ordered inFamous and received no such demo code... do I have to go back to the store or something? 

Guess we'll really find-out on Monday.

Co-op uncharted sounds good to me :)

It's sad that adding multiplayer to games has become a negative thing.  Not that I'm saying it isn't.  The fact that Bioshock 2 and Uncharted 2 are both getting multiplayer makes me think the developers just don't get it.

@ Luke: Did you pre-order at Best Buy?

hey, as long as the SP is awesome in U2 as it was in U1, then i don't give a donkey's asshole what they put in the game.  now all of you who is bitching about MP in Uncharted need to calm the fuck down, and wait till the game to come out.  look back at MGS4 and GTA4, both have a whack-ass MP, but no one is complaining because the SP was so amazing.

Uncharted has multiplayer?

Man, Microsoft is gonna cower in fear. :P

@ iExile: No, I pre-ordered at GameStop because they have the Gigawatt Blades Power Voucher.  Which is better than the PlayStation Home Outfit, in my opinion.

I can see Uncharted multiplayer working out if they make it similar to Gears of War.

Uncharted was an awesome single player experience. Adding multiplayer can only dilute the gameplay experience. I'd rather they put the resources they're devoted to Deathmatch Drake into making a better solo game.

Lame.

@ Luke: Best Buy has the demo for Infamous, and the voucher for Uncharted 2's MP beta.

Why wouldn't Uncharted 2 work in MP? Because they're not wearing body armor? Neither are the people in Call of Duty. In fact, the helmet-protected head-area is the most vulnerable part.

If the singleplayer doesn't suffer because of this, I don't see how this can be a bad thing.

@ iExile: Awww, oh-well.  Thanks for the info. 

I still feel like the Gigawatt Blades Power Voucher is the best deal.  It adds to the actual game, instead of giving me something that I'll eventually get to play anyway, in the near future.

I just want infamous.

Megaton.

The problem is that if the SP isn't as good; it's so easy to blame the MP.  Instead of wasting time on a MP game that will probably largely go overlooked, they could just be focusing all of their budget and team on a great SP experience.  Besides, you're talking about games that had huge teams/budgets and 4 years in development.  I seriously doubt Naughty Dog has the resources of Rockstar North or Kojima Productions, and they certainly don't have 4 years.  They barely have 2.  "

I really don't understand why every game these days (particularly shooters) has to have multiplayer. I mean, does anyone honestly give a shit about multiplayer in games like Uncharted and BioShock? To me it just seems like they're wasting valuable development resources that could be spent on making single player even better on a mediocre multiplayer mode that people will play for a week and then completely forget about. I know multiplayer looks good as a bullet point on the back of the box, but in most games they just feel half-assed and tacked on, and I have to wonder why the developers even bothered.

Uncharted multiplayer? No thank you. I hope they don't focus too much on the multiplayer because the singleplayer of the first one was amazing.

"so when will Sid Meier's will wright tycoon be available?"

Re5 versus has some competition for the "strangest place to put multiplayer" award.

Got to be a new catagory for next years giantbomb awards, make it happen!

Woah, wait what? Uncharted 2 Multiplayer!? I missed that one!

Who keeps making these terrible decisions?  On one hand, I hope it's the developers because they're who I'm punishing when I decide to rent the game after hearing about preorder exclusives (Gigawatt Blades).  I, for one, am not 100% sure I want to buy it (and now can't play the demo to see if I want to) so I won't preorder it.  However, when it comes out and I decide to pick it up I'll feel like I'm missing out on content that was included in the preorder, so I'll just rent it instead.

Also, don't bother with Uncharted multiplayer, just make a long single-player experience.  I love the first one!  Still own it, beat it 3 or 4 times.

On second thought, make it co-op.

I can't picture multiplayer in Uncharted.  As it stood in the first game, it took way too many bullets to bring down your average hoodlum, so I can't imagine having to hit someone 3 to 5 times in the chest with a shotgun at point blank in multiplayer matches and expect it to be fun.  Having said that, I remain very enthused by the single-player game and eagerly await its arrival.

Uncharted 2 multiplayer does merit the scale of hype they had for this news Ryan, sorry, but to me that is huge.

Even if you're not enthusiastic about Uncharted MP (I'm definitely not) I don't think you can fault Sony for calling this a big announcement.

I don't' know how I feel about the news. All I can say is that I am glad that those people wanting multiplayer are getting it. I was extremely satisfied by the single-player expereince. i just hope that the efforts on multi-payer don't take away from the development in the single-player campaign.

"Ryan, please shut up, ok?! No you are not interested in Uncharted 2, you gave Uncharted 1 (one of better games in 07) pathetic 7.5 if i remember corectly. Just play your 360. I am so fed up with this type of BS that come from gaming journalist as your self. I don't remember Sony hyping this to me megaton, it was just a teasing announcement, ididn't see internet explode cuz of it. Did you? Hmm..."

Wow, way to go Sony PR!

As for the "pre-order and get a demo" that's just ridiculous. Defeats the whole purpose of a DEMO. Demonstration! TO SHOW YOU BEFORE YOU BUY IT! *sigh* That gets me all riled up!

megaton.

Its not a preorder...Its with every copy.The demo is pre order.

Real-time weapon switching.

Both these games look to be cool but yeah Sony continues to underwhelm overall. And if it isn't that their constant whining is pathetic but I guess that is what happens when your losing. Nintendo did the same stuff, well not quite as bad, when they fell from the top.

I feel like the only one excited for this?  I always thought of Uncharted as the PS3's "Gears of War" (a really well made 3rd person shooter with a cover mechanic) and Gears has multiplayer, so it makes sense that Uncharted would.
