I wasn't expecting it to be up.  I just finished installing Red Faction and was about to play.

Thanks, although I guess the Red Wings have to win/lose before I even get to play the game  :gloomy

Does the beta include co-op?

If anybody has any spare codes, hook me up!
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: cool breeze on June 02, 2009, 10:51:58 PM
co-op is the main thing I want to try out

not really interested in the normal multiplayer versus stuff

I'd take a code.

Oh crap, the 3rd hadn't even started yet. If anyone is around to play much later, be warned: I'll be running on 10mg of oxy and 6 cups of real strong coffee.

I got to play as Drake and fucking led my group.  These guys were dying all the time, but I was meleeing those armored dudes while reviving them and shit.

What little I got to try was very nice.  Fluid controls.  This being first-party Sony, the servers will be totally borked for a week at launch.

versus mode is ok, nothing stellar.  co-op is so good, though.

tell Fatal to invite Linkzg to your party

Nah, it makes it more manageable, adds control to the mix. Although I really don't like oxy.

Post by: duckman2000 on June 03, 2009, 01:39:38 AM
Damn, that was pretty awesome! Not sure about competitive, but co-op was all sorts of fun. Felt like a single player game, but with human team mates. Or something. Damned good.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: duckman2000 on June 03, 2009, 01:51:25 AM
Although, they should damned well make co-op inaccessible to people without mics. Competitive? Fine, don't talk. But it's a damned necessity in co-op.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: CHOW CHOW on June 03, 2009, 01:48:55 PM
quite laggy in competitive for me...takes seconds to pick up weapon sometimes, also i've seen many kills register like 10 seconds after the fact.  really poor net code

it's weird because co-op works flawlessly...the weapons pick up fast and there's little to no lag at all.

they gotta improve competitive netcode
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: Draft on June 03, 2009, 02:01:03 PM
hey draft did you get your code?
Got it, but won't have a chance to use it till this evening at the earliest. Thanks.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: MyNameIsMethodis on June 03, 2009, 02:25:58 PM
What you don't need a mic for co op. Me and FatalT had our mics but all we did was laugh at how he was the bitch every time and just spammed the X button while he blew kisses and I laughed with no audio.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: duckman2000 on June 04, 2009, 01:40:35 AM
Anyone playing this right now?
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: pilonv1 on June 04, 2009, 07:09:23 AM
Competitive multiplayer is pretty standard. Nothing offensive, but nothing awesome.

Going to try some co-op now.

edit: Well it's certainly Uncharted. Cover system is a bit iffy however the shooting is much more satisfying. It's still pretty paint by the numbers but good fun.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: Brehvolution on June 04, 2009, 10:16:16 AM
Co-op is awesome.  :o
Looks great
Competitive is ok, not my thing.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: Mr. Gundam on June 04, 2009, 05:58:32 PM
Co-op is awesome. Multiplayer deathmatch/plunder is ok.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: AdmiralViscen on June 04, 2009, 10:24:58 PM
Competitive seems to be competent but boring, I will have to try co op later.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: bork on June 05, 2009, 12:35:49 AM
I just did a deathmatch game and really enjoyed it.  It's standard fare, sure, but the way you can move and climb up on top of stuff is just awesome, as are the take downs when you melee someone from behind.  It felt like Metal Gear Online done right.  I'm chalking this up to it being a beta, but I really hope they get more sound in there!  Frankly just that one game alone was far more enjoyable than anything I played of Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. 

Wanted to try out co-op, but after that first match, it wouldn't connect to any games.   :-\
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: Mr. Gundam on June 05, 2009, 01:12:34 AM
3-player co-op is really cool, as long as you play alongside people who understand the meaning of cooperative.  ;)

I didn't have to wait very long for a co-op game to start, it usually takes about 4-5 minutes for the system to find a couple other people.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: pilonv1 on June 05, 2009, 03:48:16 AM
yeah i did some co-op with randoms and stood around for minutes waiting for them to get to the 3 person checkpoint. very frustrating
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: dark1x on June 05, 2009, 08:44:31 AM
One thing I can say for sure, the game feels a lot more solid this time around.  Vertical sync is enabled, characters have a greater sense of weight in their movements, an animation is a lot less floaty.  Very impressive.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: Tieno on June 06, 2009, 07:28:52 AM
Anyone can help me out for the beta (code?)?
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: rubber feathers on June 06, 2009, 02:15:35 PM
I played a few rounds of standard TDM on the night time map and had some fun, that other map is horrendous though.  Can't see shit.  The multiplayer seems decent enough, if uninspired.

I'll probably try co-op today.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: duckman2000 on June 06, 2009, 07:59:16 PM
Tieno, still need a code? I got one with Infamous today, so let me know.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up

Thanks alot duckman! I'm downloading it atm. Will probably be done after I've gone voting.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: Tieno on June 07, 2009, 08:00:35 AM
Played some co-op. Like it so far, but the animation/platforming feels weightless/floaty. Needs rumble or something else. Hard to get a feel of it, needs more chaos, want to feel like I'm in it.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: AdmiralViscen on June 07, 2009, 12:15:57 PM
The thing that would clinch this for me is if they ripped off the 'down/revive' format of Gears. I can't think of a single game that does and I have no idea why. Well, Killzone sort of.
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: Mr. Gundam on June 07, 2009, 12:44:35 PM
You can revive your teammates in co-cop. I don't understand...
Title: Re: Uncharted 2 beta is up
Post by: bork on June 07, 2009, 02:57:38 PM
Had a weird glitch last night where the camera wouldn't stop looking up.  Quit out of the game and came back in, and the same problem from before where it wouldn't find any games started up again.   :-\  The game's fun while it lasts though.  I was at level 2 and kept killing this kid who was level 9.  He kept whining and accusing me of cheating every time I melee'd him.   :lol

whoa after playing on the plaza map my opinion has changed - the mp is loads of fun
