Adding some validity to the decision of creating a Free-to-Play model for Uncharted 3′s multiplayer, Naughty Dog has announced that the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Multiplayer Free-to-Play has seen over 100,000 downloads in North America during the first week of availability.

It's better than old games just dying.
I will probably just buy the GOTY edition for less than 30(or even regular edition for 20$ or less) to get all the maps since just the level cap removal by itself is a 20$ ripoff and I think that still includes the adds. I will buy the real game just to get rid of the lame adds. Id like to have it digital but only if the full competitive multiplayer without adds was 20$(even without the extra maps).
below- I like SP games more but Id like the option to only buy the COD multiplayer (team deathmatch). I dont want the SP, or special ops or zombies, just team deathmatch. Id buy it if it was 20$ 20 for SP, 20 for multiplayer, and 20 for zombies would be great. then people could choose what they want. same with other games. Id like to buy just the SP of alot of games for just 40$.
OT: Nice numbers for Uncharted. Nothing beats free! First Jetpack Joyride and now Uncharted 3. I can see Sony pushing the PS4/PSV as a great way (Alternative to PC, IOS and android) to utilize the free to play model.
Not sure why people on this site hate options. Really baffles me.
That should be the future for multiplayer only games IMO.
Free game, money made through DLC, not that i'm a fan of microtransactions but as long as it's not Pay-to-win then i'm all for it.
So therefor, yes, free is good depending on how the micro-transactions are done. Otherwise I'll just pay the one time fee for a complete multiplayer experience.
Microtransactions FTW!!/sarcasm
Also, I don't like the idea of purchasing levels individually, or each weapon, etc etc. I already stated that above. Micro-transactions are not a win in most cases, unless done like League of Legends. But more options are better then less.
I said that don't play the SP part if you don't like it. Also there are plenty of MP only games if that is your thing.
But in my humble opinion, if I buy a game I want the FULL version of the game not 1/4 or half of it. I want it full. You think if companies would get on the habit of selling a games MP and SP mode separately they would charge you less??? No, they wouldn't. They would charge you almost the same...my guess is $39.99 for MP or the same for the SP. So if you want the full package you would end up paying more.
I just don't understand why having a SP campaign is a bad thing. It is the best in gaming a great SP is much much much better than ANY MP mode.
If I can save money by purchasing just the portion of the game I want, ie the MP or SP, then that would be a great option, and yes purchasing one should be cheaper then both, but both should be a savings deal as well.
I bought BF3 day 1 and I dont play the SP, but I should have the option of saving money and only getting the MP mode. I understand your concern that they would charge you more for one mode rather then a full game but that is something as a consumer I can support or choose not to with my wallet and I'm fine with that.
Your opinion on SP being the best of gaming is subjective as it is your opinion. It all depends on the game.
In StarHawk's case, the SP and MP can be bought separately, while in KZ3's case, the MP version can be bought separately.
It's great too, because there are game for which I don't care about the SP, and if I'm buying them digitally, I might as well save some money and HDD space.
WTF! Has it always been this bad or has it got worse with the updates?
They are not interested in Uncharted at all anymore. I can't even convince them to try the co-op that is 10 times better than competitive mp.
Also,Why haven't they added region server selection yet so I'm not stuck in a game with Japanese and Europeans?
Edit: Our conections were all 15mbps+ btw.
Best thing is I have all the unlocked stuff from before i sold my copy off. Worst thing is the forced ads you have to watch after each start of matchmaking.
it's just not a good MP. the people that want to play it are mostly going to be people that paid for it. personally, i played the beta for a week, then never had any desire to play it when i bought the retail game. didn't even bother getting the trophy for playing one round.
Its the GREATEST 3rd person online shooter EVER!!
the best :)
Good times good times!
I still don't geyt why other multiplayer games haven't developed a lobby system like the one that's in Warhawk.
Spiltscreen... heck the game has quadscreen online. Believe it or not plenty people still play Warhawk. Maybe it's because it's online only?
Word of advice, if your prone to motion sickness... then leave pro-flight alone. lol
