Can You Really do This in Uncharted 3's Multiplayer?

Yesterday, Naughty Dog took the wraps off Uncharted 3′s multiplayer component and there were certainly a few surprises revealed by the developer. Now, a new screenshot shows something undoubtedly amazing that players can do in the game’s online mode.

[SeanScythe]

We did know about this with the reveal the other day but it's nice to see it slowed down and larger. It's going to be epic. After the plane takes off the battle takes place inside the plane. Would be cool to fight on top the plane.

[swiftshot93]

Awesome.

[BeastlyRig]

The way that truck rolls looks almost robotic! But still cool..

ND posted an app on twitter!
Uncharted Weather - http://itunes.apple.com/us/...

[jriquelme_paraguay]

Truck-Robotic?
what you want? a truck rolling like a human?

ROFL

[DualConsoleOwner]

So yes to the question.

[ksense]

this looks awesome. I would love to jump to other moving trucks and shoot and get shot at. it gets the adrenaline pumping.

just a thing to note for people trying to figure out which will sell better. gears 3 is releasing in september without much competition and uncharted is releasing in a crowded month which includes battlefield 3 and cod!!!.

[frostypants]

Looks awesome, BUT I'm sure it's a scripted event within that particular mode. Kind of like the tank rolling through the village in that one Uncharted 2 online map.

[elite-shot]

In answer to the title... With naughty dog anythin is possible.

[Shane Kim]

To be honest I think that truck rolls pretty realistic.

[FFXI101]

Realistic or not, it looks awesome! can't wait for the beta :)

[AaronSponk]

Naughty Dog programmers are the real code masters.

I would love to do that oh and shoot people out of midair as they try to jump to another spot.

[kalel114]

According to Arne from ND, the Villians can jump from truck to truck or even truck to plane. The Heros can even jump to the trucks as well.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

And you can see how the Airplane goes trough there, above, really close.

Is amazing.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Raising the bar.

Uncharted 3 have better features.

[offdawall]

im really thinking UC3 mingt outsell gears3 it has seriously grown in popularity in the industry ang uc2 sales are great .... no flame bait but seriously wat do you guys think

[Yehshuah]

i don't believe it will outsell gears 3. i have all uncharted games and i play them all the time but the numbers gears did were system sellers. i do believe uncharted 3 will be better. i did a few survey and out of all the ps3 owners, most were looking forward to purchase other games other than uc3. some do not know what uncharted is. but for 360 owners, they were willing to go to gears 3 midnight launch

[Ps_alm3k]

see i knew it...
Uncharted is multi millions seller, but ______ refuse to buy them.

[fr0sty]

U2 established uncharted has a AAA hit franchise, so it's follow up will definitely have better sales based on the hype 2 generated alone.

[Kleptic]

Even for UC2 Ps3 sales were still significantly lower than the 360...

but things are much closer now worldwide, despite the US...But I still would bet strongly that Gears 3 takes it sales wise...

that isn't really the issue though...sales won't mean anything to us; Uncharted as a franchise is doing far beyond what is needed to keep them coming...critically though its up in the air...Nothing stood up to UC2 in 2009, where it pretty much unanimously took goty...Gears 3 still has pretty much everything to reveal, little is yet known other than...the engine now has true dynamic lighting...we'll see, definitely will be a good year for third person shooters...

[xabmol]

My next door neighbor is a PS3 only player and he has never heard of Uncharted. He knows about Gears though. Sad, ain't it?

[Shane Kim]

@xambol

Very sad.

[BabyTownFrolics]

look at past sales numbers for both games, and I think that is a good idea as to how both new sequels will sell. Also one thing to consider is that 360 only owners will have been waiting all year for this game, this is the big fall exclusive and the 360 is hurting for exclusives right now. While I'm positive the UC3 will sell as much or more than UC2 I doubt that PS3 only owners will be so desperate (for a lack of a better word) for UC3 that it will outsell Gears 3. If I'm proven wrong thats cool, I wish both naughty dog and epic success with both these great games.

[FFXI101]

I agree with you on Gears, I think the lacking of exclusives and games for hard core gamers will help Gears sales even more.

However, I think UC series is doing much better and improved a lot since the first UC.

I LOVE the first GEARS, I DO. But Gears 2 was a let down to me(both single & muti-players) and I doubt Gears 3 will surpass the first Gears. Whereas UC series is the opposite, UC was great, UC2 was even better and UC3 tops both UC and UC2.

I'm really looking forward to play it.

[jrbeerman11]

i gotta say im shocked that gears 3 is mentioned without blatant fanboyism, bubbles going around for job well done.

I am excited for both, cant wait for gears beta to start next week for me.

[mrbattle420]

agree!I love both games,anyway we see it uncharted is the best graphical console game out there(not killzone)and gears is the bloodiest 3rd person shooter!!they sould push the release date to september,but with games like skyrim and bf3 is gonna be hard !but i predict game of the year right know and is going for skyrim, 2nd place is between uc3 and LA NOIRE and 3rd between portal 2,rage,bf3
well is hard to predict but thats my opinion maybe uc3 wins second but LA NOIRE is a beast of a game!!!

[BLACKBOIJONES]

@offdawall its not gonna out sell gears3...B real. Sony dose not have the marketing power microsoft has...Even if they did gears fan base is much bigger than uncharted...Gears can sell 2-3 million in a week and sell lots of consoles but uncharted sells 3-4million in total life sales not in a week and that says a lot...Any way i would b getting the 2...No need to compare them,they are two different games with different game play styles involved in them.Its only the dumb idiotic fanboys that compare gears and uncharted.

Now if i can just get some news of god of war 4 or a god of war spin off at E3 i will b one very happy gamer.

[news4geeks]

don't be too sure. Uncharted2 sold 4.3m as of September last year so it will have settled at just over 5m if we go buy the ps3 long legs theory. Gears2 looks to have settled at 7m. Amazon pre-orders in the UK have U3 above Gears3 and it is releasing a few months later plus the xbox userbase is bigger in the UK. Just speculation but interesting none the less. After the critical acclaim of U2 I can see this challenging Gears sales.

[Kon]

In my humble opinion, Gears will outsell it 3:1

[jetlian]

be that high! hell it won't be 2:1 I bet gears3 will out sell the other 2 though! Gears3 is looking great.

Uncharted is looking great too. they finally got coop splitscreen. Which is my favorite style of play.

I think coop could make uncharted one of the top sellers now.

[Rainstorm81]

3:1 ???

really? No gears has out sold any uncharted 3:1...And the Uncharted franchise is growing in popularity.

I wouldnt be surprised at all if Gears out sold Uncharted, but the gap closes with each release.

Gears 2 outsold U2....U2 won more awards than Gears 2.......Both are still good games.....play both franchises and you might enjoy it..

[StoneyYoshi]

i dont understand why ppl compare sales to a game that came out in 08 to a game that came out in 09.

[xPhearR3dx]

I <3 all the PS3 and Sony fanboys on this site :)

[Vherostar]

Wow comparing gears which is for sale on the console where only shooters sells well to uncharted eh?? Whatever helps you sleep eh? I mean you want proof that non shooters sell better on ps3 looks at gt vs forza they are both as good in there own right (GT a bit better as its newer) yet it blew forzas sales out the water within a few weeks. So quit with the sales talk already we are talking about how great multiplayer will be here and it does look amazing.
Either way I am buying Gears 3 AND Uncharted 3 so I really don't care! You fanboys can stick to your guns and single conosles and I will have my gaming goodness thankyou ta!

[jrbeerman11]

vherostar i see what your trying to say but GT and Forza is a hard analogy to use.

Forza is pumping out games to GT 2:1

Forza is a newcomer trying to steal users from GT as well as offer alternative to xbox only users

GT is the best selling series of all time.

Its like comparing sales of resistance to Halo.

otherwise I am with you as far as talking too much about sales, as both of these games will be great, day one for both games for me.

[macky301]

How? It is the only really core exclusive game 360 has this year,..
while ps3 had more than I can count only in the first few months,..
But then again Uncharted is a bomb also,..

[claterz]

Uncharted 3 sales will be much closer to Gears than the last time around that's for sure. There's already hype surrounding UC3 at the moment and that's just gonna increase when E3 comes around and they reveal the single player. THEN we've got the public beta which will keep people even more hyped!

If Sony had any sense they would advertise this game more than anything else this year, it's just one of those games that appeals to everyone. Whereas Gears only really appeals to the hardcore fans. Also I believe Gears is most popular in US, in UK I don't even remember seeing a trailer for Gears 2. The PS3 has also become a more popular console now than it was when UC2 released, whereas the 360's user base has grown specifically because of Kinect, and I can't imagine Kinect players buying Gear 3.

One more thing, if Uncharted 3 has Move support, I'd say it will outsell Gears 3. I can't imagine Sony would be stupid enough not to give their biggest game of the year Move support, it's been in every other big game exclusive this year so...

[jrbeerman11]

I think you got it backwards concerning move...

The games with move support will help sell the move, not the other way around.

As said a few times on board, its really gonna be easier for Gears 3 to sell considering that not too many AAA exclusives are coming for 360. Us with 360s need gears 3 to justify our 50-60 live membership (sad i know)

Its especially hard for people like me who have both systems, and play all multi on ps3. which basically means that I pay a year of live for either halo reach last year or gears 3 this year.

[metsgaming]

I don't want that blue move compatible emblem on my beautiful Uncharted 3 box !

[Vandamme21]

I'm not excited about the multiplayer. I'm excited for the story. I'm not really big when it comes play multiplayer online for these type of games.

[user9422077]

The thing is, though; Uncharted 2's multiplayer was super fun: it differentiated it self from others to an extent where it was just sheer enjoyment being had.

With Naughty Dog saying they want to compete with the big boys in the online space, they have one hell of a shot with Uncharted 3 and I'd recommend you to at least try it.

Everyone knows the story will be stellar; but multiplayer is just too much fun to miss out on, dude.

[BlackTar187]

i didn't really get into or like the MP in UC2. Im with above i just want a great story.

The horde mode on UC2 was fun though

[Kleptic]

I didn't want anything to do with UC2's multiplayer, and before release was actually concerned about it...pushing too much content will almost always hurt the individual aspects of a title...

R2 shared that fate...the 60 player competitive, 8 player co-op, etc...drastically cut back the appeal of any one aspect of the game...the visuals were horrid, the 'new' gameplay mechanics were tacked on, and the entire game lost its identity in pursuit of on paper marketing...

Killzone 3 arguably had the exact same problem...While it did deliver visually again (its a tough call to say it hands down looks better than killzone 2 though, lighting was changed enough that i still think killzone 2 tops it in certain areas)...the 3D stuff, offline split screen, a completely redesigned multiplayer that shares nothing with killzone 2...and the move support...all made it somewhat mixed critically...especially when it came to single player campaign; of which are of the utmost importance to an fps now...apparently...

that didn't happen with UC2 though...the multiplayer was actually phenomenal, even though I didn't get a chance to play tons of it...it didn't hurt the single player game, or the improved engine, or anything like I worried about...

and UC3 looks to be even better...

[Tdmd]

Forget about socom! THIS will be my online third person shooter of choice! It seems so epic I almost can't believe they'll be able to pull it off.

[Lamarthedancer]

Does anyone else think that the weapon customization could make the game a little unbalenced. I mean if you have to unlock new things as you level up it means high leveled players will win mainly because of their gun...not skill.

I came into the U2 multiplayer late, so I'm thinking if other people do the same with U3 and get killed over and over again by higher leveled players it could put them off U3s online.

[Ps_alm3k]

this game can be seen as...

I give you all the good food in the world, and I'll let you balance your own health.

Or you would prefer, I will limit your food and keep you balance.

the whole point im making is..

Would you prefer Variety or Limitation?
I prefer variety! : )P

[Lamarthedancer]

but then your basicaly ignoring the problems it could cause.

[Ps_alm3k]

I totally agree, Like i said i prefer variety.

Plus, we will have a beta soon, then we can iron out those nick knacks.

I think when it comes to video games, more people will complain about what they don't have, rather then what they do have. ND has a great Idea by giving everything, then take it out if it being abuse.

[Lamarthedancer]

Ture...but

What did people moan about the most in U2....for the past two years.

Situation awareness

Yet NaughtyDog still have it in the game, they just named it differently and they have another two boosters which sort of act like it. As a load of people have said on the ND forums, it feels like they arn't listening to what the fans really want. I will admit thought they have added a few things which fans have asked for. Theres a ton of good debating stuff on the ND forum if you look and surprisingly most of them are very mature about the subject

[Ps_alm3k]

haha i hated that too, but maybe it came about because of camping? I really don't know who is the majority or minority that cause it to still be in the game. Like it Killzone 2 , a lot of people complain about the controls, and a lot did not want it change. Anyways peace.

[Vherostar]

Nope its not going to make it unbalanced adding scopes etc.. It's the norm these days look at COD etc.. they all have it.

[ultimate-remag]

this will be orgasmic!!!!

[Relientk77]

I really wanna see more of this, I want to see the multiplayer expand from what they did in Uncharted 2

[SeraphimBlade]

If this is in the beta, I will totally became a Plus subscriber!

[Gambit07]

or buy Infamous 2

[abczby]

I do not like Sony and what they've done with the PlayStation 3. Its online is half assed compared to Xbox's and its constant mandatory everything (whether it be updates, installs, or agreeing to the new terms of service) are a real drag when I'm just trying to turn on my PS3 and mess around in LBP2 for a little.

But with that said, Gears of War 3 isn't going to compare to Uncharted 3. I was in the friends in family beta for Gears of War 3 and have already played well over 50 matches, and I can tell you, first hand, that it is Gears of War 2.5. There is almost nothing different between the two and some could say that Gears of War 3 is just what Gears of War 2 should have been when it first launched. It is really unfortunate because I was looking forward to playing both Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3, but after playing the beta I have canceled my reservation of Gears 3 and put my $60 towards Deus Ex: Human Revolution instead.

Now I'm sure Gears of War 3 will be showed with high praise from critics all around just because of how polished it is going to be but for me a sequel has to have more than polish. It has to have something new, something fresh and exciting about it that really shakes it up a little. Like how Bioware changed it up with Mass Effect 2 (your decisions carry over, action-RPG) or like Naughty Dog with Uncharted 2 (incredible narrative with memorable characters, extremely cinematic), or like Bungie with Halo 2 to Halo 3 (forge, theater, etc.). Gears of War 3 just has nothing to distinguish itself from its predecessors; unless you consider a stable and functional multiplayer distinguishable - I don't, however. Stable multiplayer should be expected out of a triple-A title. They're making such a large deal out of that and adding team deathmatch it almost makes me sick.

Too bad Epic didn't decide to use some of those new tricks they showed off with the next generation of Unreal Engine 3 because graphics that good would have been something to distinguish itself, but as of now the graphics are no better than Gears of War 2's. Only the lighting has improved. Oh well.

[jetlian]

trolling much. beast mode looks pretty damn good to me,the expanded coop looks great. the graphics are above gears 2. Color is in now.

the new weapons,attacks, downed kills all better.

If you gonna compare how little it changed why not compare how long it took uncharted to get on gears level. took the 2nd game to get online play! the 3rd game to get real coop! the 3rd game to get splitscreen AND ITS NOT FULL SPLITSCREEN AT THAT.

[DAS692]

LOL ok first off... Uncharted didn't "get to Gears' level".It was behind Gears in Uncharted 2, and PASSED it with Uncharted 3. And for that pitiful little list you gave...

"the graphics are above gears 2. Color is in now.

the new weapons,attacks, downed kills all better."
IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE DONE WHAT BUNGIE DID WITH
HALO 2-HALO3 A FRIKIN UPDATE IS ALL THAT CRAP IS WORTH!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

The first Uncharted was never meant to have multiplayer, smart guy. Gears doesn't even fit into the equation. They are just two different games in the industry. It's only fools who keep comparing the two because they're cheerleaders for their console. Isn't that right, jetlian? And if you want to be REALISTIC, Epic had made a career of multiplayer gaming. Including Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog has 1 multiplayer game under their belt. Think about that for a minute.

[SnakeMustDie]

Epic has been making MP games for a long time now and Uncharted 2 was ND's first game with MP and it proved to be better than Gears 1 and 2. That alone is an impressive feat.

[jetlian]

gears had MP,coop and splitscreen in 2006
uncharted 2 got MP and a half ass coop in 2009
uncharted 3 got SPlitscren and real coop in 2011

abc's point wasgears hasn't evolved. My point was they did damn near everything in the beginning.

All this stuff uncharted getting has been done 5 years ago by gears except the color changes.

so based on that logic if l want to make a fighting game it should be like yie ar kung fu! since it will be my first fighting game?! No

maybe my first car should have a crank like the old 1900s one since it will be the first one l make

[mrbattle420]

I agree with you somewhat,gears multiplayer is fun but yeah i dint see to much ,we jet to see single player videos other than e3 so graphics in single player are always better than mp (example killzone),yeah and sony did srew up with psn!!so give gears a try in single player (4 frinds co-op)!!hopefully psn intergrade steam that will change ps3 fans for ever and they get to see someting better that psn that needs way more games to catch up with live

[miyamoto]

From what I've seen it looks like gears is a straight TPS with not much vertical platforming compared to Uncharted 3- more on the horizontal space.

[bobrea]

Looks pretty awesome. I'm pumped for the beta

[PandaJenkins]

It sounds like they have some awesome ideas for online. I am more worried people won't embrace them though. I mean lets face it people just want to mostly kill each other in deathmatches all day. The amount of people I saw bitching that Rage doesn't have deathmatch MP was astounding. Glad to see developers trying to break the mold a bit.

[T3MPL3TON]

I am beyond excited for this game. I just can't wait.

[BIGBOSS08]

sales wise i'd say uncharted 3 and gears 3 will sell about equal worldwide.uncharted has grown in popularity like crazy the past 2 years. we know gears 3 will sell about 6-7 million and im pretty sure uncharted 3 will be a 6+ million seller.

[level 360]

If NaughtyDog can show/and do those new action-packed moves on their trailer, I believe they can surely bring it on the actual game.

[perfectCarbonara]

Dude, it's Uncharted. Name says it all really.

[Roozium]

Well, there goes that high competitive multiplayer.

[oweowe]

Can Gear 3 provide the dynamic environment like this (everything is moving, including environment) in multi-player? Hell no!

So technically, UC3 beat Gear 3 without doubt.

[nevin1]

The reason Gears will sell better than Uncharted is because Gears will have no competition unless you think Kinect software is a threat for 360 owners. meanwhile, on paper, PS3 owners will have to many options during the fall with titles like Uncharted3, Resistance3, Twisted Metal and so on. The PS3 library and fanbase is more diverse.

I think we can all agree that 360= shooters?

[cloud495]

Drake the Grave robber
Can we do it?
Yes we can!

[Emilio_Estevez]

Amazing....ND will keep stepping it up with innovation and smart thinking. Why has this not been done before or more often?
Whole game plays like a movie, now the mp will too!

[Inzo]

Uuuuuh..............sold.

[JMyers]

I won't be surprised if you could do this. It is Naughty Dog we're talking about. These guys create experiences and bring you into the game more so than many other developers. This game will be great.

[esemce]

I'm guessing thats the CO-OP mode.

[Quisp]

Naughty Dog is badass, in the quality of game and the amount of TIME, they are able to churning it out, is amazing. Take note Polyphony Digital

[RealtorMDandDC]

"Can't wait".....(Bart Scott voice)

[PHOEBUS]

this game is getting too filthy. I need a diaper

[Chaos23]

ITS CALLED CO-OP MODE
