Uncharted 2 multiplayer demo available for all photo

The Uncharted 2 demo that was limited to a few lucky people (and anyone that follows Geoff Keighley on Twitter) is now on the PlayStation Store for everyone to grab. The demo includes four maps, four modes and two co-op modes. You better start practicing as the full game will be out on October 13.

All of the games you play are automatically recorded too, so you can watch your match after the round ends or jump into the special Machinima mode to create your own little movie. Our friends over at Machinima.com got an exclusive look at the new cinema mode not too long ago if you’re interested in hearing more about it.

What do you all think about Uncharted 2's multiplayer? I haven't touched it yet so I want to know if it feels tacked on or is it actually awesome?

Gave it a whirl last night and I'm impressed with what I saw/played, especially the replay stuff. Totally wiped away any pre-conceived notions that it might be tacked on multiplayer for sake of having multiplayer.

The most impressive thing was that replay feature, I mean that was amazing you can adjust the lighting, the camera, take screenshots, watch someone else. Why doesn't every game have this? It's the most amazing MP feature I've seen in a while.

Jesus, I didn't know they'd invented a new drug.
I think I need Uncharted Anonymous, I started playing earlier and now it's all I can fucking think about.

The ability to buy perks (or whatever they're called) and extra characters is great, and the map design on Village and Plaza is just EPIC.
Shame there are already Level 30+ players who are seemingly invincible. NEED. MOAR. PRACTICE.

This is awesome. I recommend those who aren't convinced to get the game to try this. Nao.

I always find it difficult to aim in these games and therefore suck of the highest magnitude, can aim be assigned to another button such as R2? Can only get better with experience.

Also, my first post despite being a longtime (and frequent) visitor of three or so years, hi all!

Welcome mate! Might I be the first to say your avatar will rob me of sleep for the next week.

Also, can somebody mail me a spare PS3 so I can play some Uncharted 2 too?

Dang, until the weekend I'm staying at my Fiance's Dad's, where we have no internet that I can use and I so so want to check this out!

I can unplug his PC from the one port on the modem and swap it for my PS3, but he doesn't love that, a true technophobe "don't touch it, you'll break it" He was convinced that the "page not found" message when his internet was playing up was because my fiance had "broken t'computer!"

Even then when i move to my new place I've got to wait till 10th October for my Fibre optic broadband to be installed. Here's hoping for some unsecure WiFi around the new place!

I played the beta when I got inFamous, and I can't wait to play it again.

Wow, way to tempt me when I've already stayed up all night working on a research paper guaranteed to end in failure (new format + bad data + procrastination = EPIC FAIL).

Maybe once I finish these citations I can squeeze in a little play before class.

Thank you for the warm welcome! The avatar is the always excellent Reece Sheersmith.

As for the spare PS3, afraid I can't. Though you would probably be more appreciative of it than my brother, you know he sold LittleBigPlanet without even giving it a try? For Wii Sports Resort!!!

The beta that launched with inFAMOUS was fairly weak initially. I hope that it has shed some of its warts.

Holy travesty! You need to train your brother better. Mine has been completely programmer to reflect all my best interest.

And yet even I couldn't save him from the horrors of Nickelback. Curse you Nickelback!!!

I've never got around to playing the first Uncharted, but I've been really interested in seeing how the sequel turns out. That said, I can't wait to try some online multiplayer.

Desperately need some PSN friends, so hit me up if you're down for some Uncharted 2 online (PSN: GoatRoyale).

Can someone tell me where to buy the perks? I dont know where to go. Either way if you have a PS3 then you need to get it, it is so much fun and if you liked Uncharted or 3rd person shooters in general then you need to get this.

When you actually connect to multiplayer there is an option at the bottom of the screen for the "store," you select it by hitting the R1 button if memory serves. Also, after a match if you just leveled up and can purchase something you have to leave the matchmaking screen to get to the store and purchase your perks.

I've been playing it for a week now I think, and its a blast. Is it the best most excellent multiplayer experience ever? No probably not. But its definetly fun. It has enough variety in level design and modes to keep people playing for a long time. If you like trying to sneak around and mele people or go for a stealth kill you can do that, if you like to run and gun you can do that, if you like to hide and shoot you can do that. My personal favorite is RPG only deathmatch. Great fun to be had. Also the capture the flag match type is fun too, keeps the battles in a small area where teamwork is essential to winning.

I played like 3 matches and it's pretty damn fun. Sometimes I forget you have the climbing ability, but when I get the height advantage, or hang off a cliff waiting for people, it's awesome.

As in the words of the human torch... flame on! I DL-ed this last night and played for an hour and the word that comes to mind is "elementary" or "simple". Yes it's got tight controls, good graphics, upgrade system, polish... but it feels rather bland. Nothing grips me. I've seen it all before.

My PS3 is quickly becoming just my blu-ray player. =(

I am absolutely in love with the demo. Coming from the beta, I love all of the new features they've implemented since, like the new maps, the co-op arena mode, and ESPECIALLY cinema mode. GAH! Naughty Dog, you guys are incredible.

yep, really enjoying it, first impressions would suggest ND's quirky singleplayer romp translates bloody well to the online arena. Popping a gas canister [i assume its gas] as an opponent trundles around with it, preparing to launch it at your team mate is fucking brilliant.

...this demo's remarkable sticking power is the proven by the fact that as i write this I'm looking at an uncharted loading screen and not ayane's 6-axis friendly breasts.

Man do I ever love this multiplayer... and I hate multiplayer usually. The co-op is really fun, and in the deathmatch mode, I don't feel over matched. I am absolutly loving the melee attacks too. This even made my hardcore XBox fanboy friend totally spooge! He's going to buy the full version as well. Naughty Dog rocks! Good job guys, can't wait for the single player campaign.

YES.

This is seriously one of the best games I've played this generation, and it's not even the FULL GAME YET. This is going to make an excellent birthday release for me. :D

Loving everything so far. The Co-op campaign part is especially awesome, those boss guys are so much fun to fight. The only thing that really disappoints me is the arena mode. It just seems like the enemies come from too many places at once, and I can't really come up with a good strategy to counter that.

I'm loving the demo, and I totally suck at it. No matter haw badly I get my ass kicked I'm still having a blast. This game is going to own my life when it drops.

i managed to steal some of the neighbours WiFi to play this for an hour last night - and wow. I fucking love it!

Cannot wait for it to drop, got my trade in pile ready already!

Managed to drag me away from my Demon's Souls addiction for almost an hour!

Been playing the MP beta a little now.
Looks awesome - way beyond any expectations I had about graphics.

And that you can save screens. I am happy to see Sony finally listened and put in the ability to save screens of the game.

Watch recordings of all the matches you've played in, as any player, from a free floating camera angle.

With settings to adjust retinal focal points, color saturation, blur. Just incredible.

The play is difficult, since some competition seems to have figured out how to roll, duck in cover, play dead in piles of bodies, hang off objects, and shoot behind themselves while hanging.

Feel tempted to go off into a corner and practice these moves myself.

Very complex and rewarding controls - especially like the ability to change camera view from left to right shoulder (3rd person) while peeking around corners.
