    Are patently insane. 
     

      Foot-long taunt? Subway branded hats and t-shirts? Subway treasures, one of which is a goddamned sandwich?
     
    This is... 
     
    Egregious. 
     
    Which is why I am having Subway for my dinner tonight. I will not miss out on the possibility to deck my Nathan Drake in the most gaudy advertisement I've ever seen.

    I eat at Subway down at college pretty much every day already, but I don't usually buy the largest drink size. I also don't bring my games with me to college. Fall break is, however, coming soon. I guess I could spend it alternating between Dark Souls and the U3 multiplayer. Yeah, that actually sounds like the perfect break to me.

    I totally messed this up and got a bag of harvest chips that just got me the theme and not the multiplayer. You have to get the 32oz. drink to get multiplayer.

    Can someone please help me get into this somehow? I've seen people sharing it and I'd love it if I could get into it seeing as I live in Sweden and Subway doesn't have that promotion here

    Oh, get over it. It's the new way to do promotions. The only difference between what's happening now and what's been happening for the past fifteen-twenty-and-then-some years is that consumers are directly getting stuff from promotions of big games instead of entering game-branded/stuff-co-branded sweepstakes.

    @cstrang: I don't mind promotions in general. It's just that this one is just plain bad. 
     
     I can suck it up, and I will. But if this is the new way, then that kind of sucks. Wouldn't you agree? Do you honestly want to see in-game ads, ever? Especially anything this obtuse.
     
    This is also great, by the way:

    @Chaser324: That's what I immediately thought too, as I was watching. 
     
    @Brendan: It's hard to tell if they did make it purposefully stupid. I mean, the sandwich and taunt are pretty crazy, but there's nothing obviously dumb about a Subway hat and t-shirt to a marketing-man. Or maybe I give those guys too little credit. 
     
    @wasteguru: By all means, go for it. I'm not saying boycott Subway or anything. Petitions don't work and yada yada. In fact, I'm about to go to one of many fine Subway establishments right this moment and order a foot-long for their very reasonable asking price of $5(!). Unfortunately though, I can't get the code on account of me being Canadian. 
     
    @cstrang: Because I'm a hypocrite. There are things that bother me in this world, but I ain't gonna do nothin' about 'em. I don't like what them corporate fat-cats (Bolded because I'm shouting it) did to this game, but I'm a realist: They will not miss my support if I withhold it from them. I do not possess the integrity required to implement a boycott on any scale. The only thing I can bring myself to do is whine about it a little bit.
     
    In fact, I was the wrong man to make this thread. You people deserve someone who will rally the troops and fight you tooth and nail to prove he is right, even if he's wrong. I apologize.

    So, when you're running around in the multiplayer and see 4 guys all playing as Nathan Drake, the fact that you can have a Subway shirt is what ruins the realism for you?

    @Muerthoz: Not realism but immersion. Having Subway ads in a Uncharted game is almost anachronistic. Uncharted takes place in a world that is modelled after but is not our own, and to put a real brand in there really messes things up. 
     
    And it's not really "Man, I was totally Nathan Drake and now I am back to reality". It's more that ad campaigns this unsubtle always leave a bad taste in my mouth, in a game or out. If I see a logo plastered on the wall, it's just a gross attempt to brainwash their brand into me. I recognize their bad marketing and avoid it. But on the other hand, Alan Wake's subtle insert of the iconic line "Can you hear me now?" just brings a smile to my face.

    Man, I already had a guy decked out in a Subway shirt and Hat kill me and then molest my broken body with a "5 dollar footlong" taunt.

    After having Mountain Dew and Doritos being removed from the US release of Peace Walker along with Fanta and KFC from Phantasy Star Portable 2 I am so glad Sony did this for the demo.

    Also remember that this is for the demo period only and that only the experience/boosters and special Naughty Dog guns carry over to the final game.

    But it's still a little sad to see this game go down this path.

    It's fine to go down the blue yak-men path but not fine to have a brand on a tshirt?

    Subway probably serves more people a day than the total amount of people that would buy Uncharted. This is good advertising for Naughty Dog. What does it cost them? Some art assets and a bunch of posters and cups. I bet Naughty Dog is reaching a huge audience for way less than what a TV ad campaign costs.

    I wonder if this will stay in the final game. I get the feeling that the Naughty Dog folks care enough about the integrity of something that they've spent their lives working on. I wouldn't be surprised if they just did this to get some ad revenue while the game is still in beta, and strictly keep it a beta promotion.

    When it's in the actual final game that it will really bother me.

    Idk about you people, but either my connection has turned into complete shit or they made some drastic changes to the mulitplayer since the beta back in July. The beta( we are talking beta now) was really good and fun, but this 'newer' beta is not fun and turned into a third person COD.

    Im not the best Uncharted player in the world, but my i am good, i know k/d isnt important to some people and doesn't necessarily show 'skill', but its the only way I can get my point across, but my k/d in U2 and even the beta was average around 3/1, but now im lucky to get 1/1, most of the time going negative....and it has nothing to do with skill and you dont just get bad at something overnight unless something changes. Yes, the core gameplay is the same, but I used to drop somebody with half a clip with an AK47, now i can barely kill someone with a full clip( and yes im hitting them as the reticle and click indicates) but i get dropped in 3 or 4 shots with the same gun and dont even get me started on the inconsistent melee.....

    What the hell happened?

    This version really is horrid compared to the July beta. It doesn't feel the same at all, and I'm not someone who generally opposes change, but they've really changed it for the worse.

    Really not enjoyable. And I loved the July beta version so much. Hugely disappointed.

    It kills me that this premotion is not available in Canada. I would love to be playing the uncharted multiplayer for the next month. It is amazing.
     
    I would by a subway beverage to get this, their are subways in canada, but they don't have codes in canada :(

    I think this is ok and my opinion matters to everyone 100%.  Its multiplayer, which has people doing weird crap all the time.  Its the least immersive part of the game.  I can tolerate a certain level of in-game ads, and while this is dumb, the benefits way out way the negatives to me.  Its just a few people running around in subway uniforms and doing the footlong taunt, you're getting the multiplayer for the price of a large drink a month early, I'll give up on the multiplayer mode of the retail game in less than that amount of time.

    This version really is horrid compared to the July beta. It doesn't feel the same at all, and I'm not someone who generally opposes change, but they've really changed it for the worse.

    Really not enjoyable. And I loved the July beta version so much. Hugely disappointed.

    Yeah the July beta was so perfect. I never played the UC2 multiplayer, but I was planning on playing the UC3 multiplayer forever. Hopefully Naughty Dog listens to all the complaints and just rolls back to the beta version again.
