Yup

You know what? Even though not a lot of people use it, it's very nice to see developers implementing this stuff. After all, if they can code the game to be super stable online, they can code it to have LAN support, and probably very easily at that. So why not do it. That is the true question. So my hat goes to Naughty Dog, proving once again that they are a people's studio.

edit: oh, and they added LAN in response to the PSN outage. :) Haha

I am just glad that Uncharted 3 also will have local or offline co-op mode for the game.  
 

Nice to see that if the servers go down again I'm not limited to just playing the single player for my uncharted fix.

There's split screen coop in Uncharted 3? I can't see how that'd be possible, but okay.

That's awesome! It's what I demanded from UC2. Somebody has been listening to my thoughts...

Did you play Uncharted 2? They had sort of cooperative mini-missions that you could play online with two other people.

Split screen is confirmed for Uncharted 3. It has something to do with the technical tricks they used to get 3D into the game, with Sony paying for the tech to be put in, they simply used it to add in extra functionality.  I think the specific use of it was that the 3D feature requires two frames to rendered at the same time anyway, so when 3D isn't in use, they just use that functionality to render two different player viewpoints.
 
Of course, you can't play in 3D and split screen. 
 
Anyway, what this does mean is that for the next game club lan party, I'm bringing Uncharted 3 and some of my friends' PS3s too.

Didn't they say something like the beta would be the full multi-player in the conference or something like that? I was confused by that statement.

Yup

That should also open up the game for larger competitive tournaments, correct?

I did. But I don't remember there being split screen couch coop, which is what this implies.
