Whoops. Looks like Best Buy may have inadvertently rained on Sony’s announcement parade. A Kotaku tipster recently spotted a Best Buy pre-order box for InFamous with a bold sticker proclaiming the existence of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves multiplayer as well as the opportunity to get into its beta by pre-ordering InFamous.
Sounds pretty “electrifying,” right?
Anyway, we contacted Sony for comment about the box. A representative told us that no announcements would be made until Monday -- the date of Sony’s “electrifying announcement.”
Regardless of whether or not this is the big news Sony has teased seems a bit pointless right now. Naughty Dog’s follow-up to Uncharted is going to have multiplayer! What do you guys think about that? I, for one, am stoked.

Oh, and deathmatches could totally work in Uncharted 2
I don't get how people cannot grasp how it can be a multi player game, the gameplay engine itself already uses cover and good shooting mechanics which can easily translate into a smooth online experience.
Just pull a cod4 or a KZ2 and close of a level in a multiplayer map, make sure it's large, and add the abilty to enter in bulidings, get on top of roofs, hide behind cover, and have acess to areas not available in the single player mode.
Also, why arte people complaining about it? Not like you will ever need to play the multi, you can always never play it, think of it as a extra, optional mode. No one is holding a gun to your head saying you need to play the multi.
People aren't grasping the concept of this being a multi-player game because it's a cinematic, narrative shooter. Gears 1 was practically built for multi-player with it's shit-tastic campaign/story.
Also, although I don't feel TOO strongly against it, people might complain because more dev time on multi-player=less time on single-player.
Hehe climbing while shooting at your friends could be awesome...I can imagine chasing someone really good across the map...
Indeed, it is a cinematic shooter, but it is a shooter nevertheless. Heck there were times where the shooting mechanics reminded me of Gears, because they both use the same cover and shoot style of gameplay.
A bit of tweaking is all it takes for a game like uncharted to become a good multyplayer shooter. It's not like the view perspective will change from 3rd person to 1st person.
In fact, with the enviromental interactivity Uncharted has, even if there was deathmatch modes, it would be really interesting due to how you interact with the enviroment!! :)
Yes, Gears is built to be a strong multiplayer game, but not a lot is needed to make uncharted a good multiplayer game. :)
It isn't like Uncharted totally blew it's story at the end or anything. Gears had an awesome campaign, Uncharted was great too.
