Yes, The Uncharted Demo Is Region Locked

If you're in the PAL or Asian territories, you may have discovered that your 1.2 GB download of the brand new Uncharted: Drake's Fortune demo won't @!#?@!ing play on your PlayStation 3.

Kotaku contacted Sony Computer Entertainment America who confirmed that the US version "does not allow for cross-region play" and that "the Japanese and PAL demo will both be released soon.

You don't need to put Kotaku on both source and credit.

How long, cause if this S##t keeps up, I'm considering buying an Xbox 360, sure some console still suffer Red Eye, but there game and demos come out, on time.

ruibing6007d ago

It's just a demo, what's the big deal? EU get Singstar earlier than the US, so I don't know why they are complaining.

hazeblaze6007d ago

Their demo did come out on time you nitwit! Europe was not supposed to receive it today. The U.S. was and did! It's freakin awesome. Just be patient and wait for it. You guys have alway gotten games later than we have (since the N64 & PS1), you should be used to it by now so get over it.

b777conehead6007d ago

unchartered is going to be released in the us first why not get the demo first. you will get the demo soon

MK_Red6007d ago

WTF!? PS3 games were supposed to be region free or at least their demos were.

Ghoul6007d ago

yeah its awefull isnt it :(

pwnsause6007d ago

i think the reason why they locked it is because of the high demand of the GT5 JP demo, which means the store was getting slow.

daflint6007d ago

Hey lets make a console that have a store that differs from city to city, but when we promote it we say its region free. But then we send some demos to city A, and three years later to city B. And when we are in deep crisis due to people not buying it we differs the stores more by making demos region locked.

Shiat, thats a great ideá. Anyone in on it?

hazeblaze6007d ago

Sony said from the very beginning that we're not supposed to d/l content from the stores of other regions.... What's silly is that you guys are getting mad b/c you can't do something that you weren't supposed to be doing in the first place!

lim_ryan6007d ago

asian ps3 can play the demo?

dhammalama6007d ago

I'm in taiwan. It doesn't work for me.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel1997d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_92998d ago (Edited 998d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno998d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy997d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel1989997d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando008997d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia997d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver997d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel1989997d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?
