Uncharted 2 demo opens to general public tomorrow

Nick @ PS3Center writes:

As of tomorrow, that all changes! The general public is set to join the fray, as the demo is scheduled to go live on PSN tomorrow, September 29. We're not really sure how that's going to work, if Sony is going to do a special Tuesday update or not. The demo will continue for another 2 weeks, right up until the games full release on October 13, when the demo servers will come down. Of course, all stats, perks, and upgrades accrued during the trial period will also be wiped for the full game release.

Damn, can't wait!!! Liked the first one, but this seems just EPIC!

Serjikal_Strike5315d ago

...im thinking it'll be on thursday..with all other weekly updates/downloads!

YoungKiller255315d ago

they already added it to the store it will just kinda unlock tomorrow

LordMarius5315d ago

If it wasnt for all this college crap, I will be playing the demo no-stop, Im only at lv 8. :(

SnuggleBandit5315d ago

The_Count5315d ago

My Schedule
Uuncharted 2 Beta 4-6pm (already had since the sorta private mode)
Mag Beta 6-9pm
I'm in Scotland btw see you guys online.

ReservoirDog3165315d ago

Yay

I'm probably not gonna download it though. At least this should be the first big budget sony game that doesn't have a rocky first week for the multiplayer. We all know that killed Socom.

darthv725315d ago

I had been part of the closed multiplayer beta a couple months back. Then there was a public beta that I was not part of because I didnt preorder. Will this public "demo" be the same as the public beta or closed beta or will it be bigger?

zeeshan5315d ago

Sony seem to have a lot of confidence with UNCHARTED 2 which is great! I can't wait to get my hands on the final product!!!

bpac1234567895315d ago

Im gonna be in college for another week possibly 2,before i go home, so that means I wont be playing this demo. I could bring my ps3 to my dorm but playing uncharted 2 on an old 15inch crt tv with a bad internet connection seems like a disservice. I was likin college up until this lol. I've gotta find someone with a an hdtv, a ps3, and an interest in uncharted QUICKLY.

badz1495315d ago

am I unlucky or what?! I've been evading any early exposures for Uncharted 2 but the beta, which I didn't get, really got me drooling! now that the demo is coming tomorrow, it's really hard to pass but I don't have my PS3 with me at the moment for it got the YLoD 2 days ago! I hope I'll get it back soon fixed. so, practically, I can't get the demo either! but I can't enjoy my other games either! so...maybe I'm indeed unlucky

Poopface the 2nd5315d ago

I really enjoyed the first one, cant wait to give it a try tomorrow.

sunil5315d ago

looked through the PSN, couldnt find it... is there going to be special update tomorrow?

Sarcasm5315d ago

You do know they can do updates anytime outside of the standard weekly updates.

so wait, people can join the beta?

Serjikal_Strike5315d ago

multiplayer ...that was exclusive to gamestop pre-orders

Ju5315d ago

The beta became a demo for all. No beta any more.

jjohan355314d ago

Can someone tell me if the 'revenge attribute' is as annoying as martyrdom in COD? That pretty much eliminated melee kills in COD. Same annoying effect in Uncharted 2? I haven't been able to get the beta/demo yet. Any help is appreciated.

Ron_Burgundy5315d ago

or is it just a demo like the one for uncharted 1

shadowfox5315d ago

It's a multiplayer only demo, kinda like Bad Company or Battlefield 1943 style. There's no single player in the demo.

Also, the difference between a beta and a demo - a beta is unfinished work done to test server loads and play. Demo's are pretty much finished product, very little if anything will change.

Ron_Burgundy5315d ago

good cause I wanna own some more n00bs :P

PirateThom5315d ago

Oh dear, here come the plebs.

christian hour5315d ago

Aw don't be mean Pirate Thom :( I'm not a pleb! Just ask my ma!

However doesn't pre-ordering from gamestop also make you a pleb? :P

THE-JAGON5315d ago

(all stats, perks, and upgrades accrued during the trial period will also be wiped for the full game release.) the same thing happens when u go in cod4 prestige mode so no big deal !!!

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1446d ago (Edited 1446d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1445d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1445d ago (Edited 1445d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1446d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1445d ago (Edited 1445d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1446d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931445d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.

The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
