Missed the Uncharted 2 beta? Chillax, another demo is coming photo

Really, you have no excuse for not taking part in the Uncharted 2 demo if you owned a PS3 and really wanted to. It was really just a demo disguised as a beta (like most "betas" on consoles) and codes were being thrown around so casually, that anybody who wanted them should have been able to get five.

Nonetheless, if you dig Uncharted and somehow missed the beta, fear no. Naughty Dog has reiterated that a widespread multiplayer demo will be coming. We'd already heard that one was coming, but it's nice to see the dev officially confirming it.

"Yes, we're going to have another multiplayer demo before the game hits shelves," says Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells on the PSBlog. "The exact timing isn't finalized yet, but it should be available to an even wider group this time, so if you missed the last one I don't think you'll have any problem getting in this one."

Available to an even wider group? How do you get much wider than "everyone in the whole world?"

I sat down to get my ass handed to me again last night and was unpleasantly surprised to see it had gone and expired. I'll look forward to the new demo, even if the entire world will be playing.

Oh God yes. Finally, I've been waiting for the opportunity. I'm one of those chumps who couldn't get my hands on a code. :-(

Huh. I got a beta code, downloaded it, but haven't played it yet. Is the beta over now?

@Dex: Yeah, ended a couple days ago. You missed out.

Any word if this is going to be the same exact demo as the previous one? Including the E3 demo would be a nice touch.

Ugh. I'd rather have a single-player demo. If they want to do a second beta test, fine, but I'd rather a single-player demo come out.

I missed the beta, and I had tried for a few days. So yes, it will benefit me!

Loved the beta/demo, hopefully we get to destroy a different map or two on the new one, though.

While I would have loved a single player demo I'll take what I can get. The multiplayer was fun at times, definatly not the main draw of the game for me but it works well enough to keep you coming back. I don't see me playing it as much as Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer but its good enough to stand on its own. Hopefully this next time we'll get to see more levels.
