The Multiplayer Demo for UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves launches this week. You may have also noticed we’ve been making a lot of changes to NaughtyDog.com.

Find out what we’re working on.

By arne | Twitter @arnemeyer | Tuesday September 15 2009

This is a pretty big week for us here at Naughty Dog—not only did we break news on the PlayStation.blog about our first review (5 out of 5 from PlayStation: The Official Magazine, if you’re lazy), we’re thrilled to see the Multiplayer Demo for UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves launch for those of you who have early access thanks to pre-order bonuses AND we’ve been in the midst of making some big changes here at NaughtyDog.com.

I’m sure you may have noticed that things have been looking a little different in the past week as we launched a brand new look to NaughtyDog.com, which came with it our very own blog and updated job opportunities (we’re hiring!) among other things. This is just the beginning. We’re going to start rolling out a bunch of new community features over time, such as displaying all your UNCHARTED 2 Multiplayer stats right here on the site.

We’ve never done something with this kind of scale before at Naughty Dog, so things are probably going to feel a little rough in places from time to time as we start bringing more features and more multiplayer stats online over the next month. Even so, we would love to hear any opinions or constructive criticism you may have.

This has been a huge project for us so far and we’re thrilled to start finally sharing it with all of you.

Hi, I just read your post and I thought I should just mention “Match Making” seems to take forever for me to. I have played some matches which is obviously an improvement on your situation, but this problem is quite widespread with the demo as I have read countless comments around games forums stating the same issue. I just hope the full game will fix these problems because “I” absolutely love the game, but don’t really want to wait 15 minutes a time to get into a match.

I was never interested in playing multiplayer games at all...but after playing Uncharted 2 beta demo, I’m hooked. Uncharted Drake’s Fortune is my favorite game on the Playstation 3. After playing the demo, Uncharted 2 will be my favorite new game topping Uncharted. Keep up the good work.

The beta trial for Uncharted 2 is awesome, love the fact you can play online multiplayer now. Can’t wait to buy a copy of the game when it is released, never really played this type of game before but looks great!

Posted by: Newfrag on 10-03-2009

I must say that you guys have an excellent development team. The Crash Bandicoot games were my favorite back in the PS1 era, but I unfortunately never had a chance to play any of the Jak games! I’m considering buying them now just to have Naughty Dog’s game collection at my fingertips. Knowing you guys, however, they must be good.

The first Uncharted was a blast and the second one is shaping up to be the best games released this year. Universal acclaim from critics and straight-up fun (although sometimes cheap) multiplayer demo makes my pre-order more than justified. I can’t wait to get my hands on this game.

For now, I’ll see you guys in the beta. I don’t know if you’ve played with me before. Drop me a message if you have, though.

The game is great… However, matchmaking takes ten or more minutes sometimes, which may cause disaffection in the long run. Additionally, the game’s tips mention that “Aiming is always more accurate than running and gunning”. No it’s not. Headshots should be improved. I had many experiences of shooting rivals accurately (as seen to the eye)with the machine gun but getting no kills.

YAY! Playing multiplayer right now!
About the machinima mode, it needs a rewind button so that I dont have to start all over if i screw something up. And I would like to make the camera angles be saved so that when I rewind I can see my movie with all my added camera angles. AND it needs more camera angles like for examlpe a camera that is stuck in one place but it follows the player. Just take a look at the Driv3r game and you will know what I mean… and also when I turn on greenscreen it doesnt show explotuions… and I actually liked the explotions of the first game better then in this Beta. In the first game it creates a great light and a dark cloud raising upwards, its awesome!

Well keep it up, just need some adjustments on the hitbox too…

Posted by: UrMumFTW on 10-04-2009

In the machinima mode, please take away that everything turns white when you die! I want to see whats happening when Im “acting” what if I want to make a deathscene? I want to see how it looks like before I enter the cinema mode!

I’ve had the same problems all of you have mentioned. Co-op is flawless but I’m always freezing in competitive modes. In my very first game I froze just five seconds into the game and it lasted almost a minute until I was killed. I respawned, ran a few feet and it happened again. Some games are fine, others are unplayable. I’ve tried looking at the connection meters and they just constantly change so I can’t really gather much info from them.

many people with same problem:

hello Naughty Dog , the beta is amazing but there’s a problems in it that makes me sad when i play it . 1st it takes 5min to find a game well that’s annoying , 2nd when playing a match first match goes fine but second one when the game started i get disconnected from playstation network , 2nd issue happens all time never played 2 matchs in row - overall i think this game is the best game of all time , got platinum in UNCHARTED1 and i cant wait for UNCHARTED2 , Naughty Dog is the best no argue in that

Posted by: collosus187 on 10-04-2009

Great demo ande even more amazing game. The one problem i have is no split screen. Me and my friends play online… but when i invite one of my friends over we can’t play together. I would love for you guys to create a patch for split screen, even if it means a downgrade in graphics. i wouldnt care and i don’t think anyone else would either

Before I start I would like to give my best wishes from Spain to all the team and all the fans of Naughty Dog, and of course I apologize if my english is not as good as it has to be.

I thank you for your work on the Beta, I’m looking forward to see the final job!!

But I’m not writing this to talk about the Beta…

I wanted to thank you for something that most of the videogame companies don’t even bother, I’m talking about translation, every game of Naughty Dog I played, since the time of the fantastic Crash Bandicoot, came fully Localiced both voices and texts.

I Know that you are not going to bother in reading all the coments, but I felt that the process of translating an entire game must cost both work and money, and I want that you know that the fans really apreciate this action.

So, Thanks!!!

And again: sorry about my English.

in snipers and pistols i think it would be better if you took out the shields. some people are expert pistoleros and they just use the shield to get easy pistol kills. instead of using the sniper they just abuse the protection of the shield, seriously a shield versus rubber bullets is not that much fun.

Awesome demo - enjoyed it very much, thanks, Naughty Dog! I’ll grab my copy of the full game the day it arrives in local stores.

But there’s one huge problem - it takes literally forever to find players in matchmaking! Many of the players whom i spoke to within the demo say the same. It may take a minute or up to several minutes (up to ten in some cases) until the game finds anybody, although there are quite a few people online, more than 10000. I think that’s one single thing that needs to be fixed, since the wait is really-really frustrating, especially when compared to CoD4 or KZ2. I understand that there are fewer people online in Uncharted2 beta, but still…

Posted by: dynamite_9672 on 10-06-2009

the beta works for me i got my code from eb games and entered it on the 15th but sometimes when im playing it freezes and i dont think its my connection but it still could be so plz reply naughty dog because when it get the game i want to know how to fix it before hand. but if it still happens im still getting the game for the awesome story mode. thnx

Posted by: Rocket_Carrot on 10-07-2009

Hey, it looks awesome.... I loved the first game, and I am really looking foward to the continued story, but the online looks good too.
I downloaded the demo, it all seemed to work until I got into a game, when it frequently freezes.... well actually only I freeze, my controls seem to lock up, rendering me helpless, and only the start button works.
But I can still see it’s a great game, really looking foward to it, and I’m sorry if this is the wrong place for problems.

Posted by: Rocket_Carrot on 10-07-2009

The game is going to be great… but I downloaded the demo of the multiplayer, it all worked fine until I got in the game proper, when I started freezing up all the time.... well, just my controls froze up, leaving me helpless.
But, I can still see how great the game’ll be!
Although I’m more excited about the story mode.
I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to tell my problems!

G’day guys,

I’m so glad I have no girlfriend! I’m addicted to the demo! I can not put the controller down. For some reason this is the only first person shooter that doesn’t give me motion sickness!!! I absolutely love this game!!

Can’t wait to get the release!

Cheers,

Arthur

hey guys the demo was sooo cool for me

I’ve played the beta ver. and that is my list that should be fix:
1)AK-47 accurecy--it’s to hard to shoot in one point (dispersion is big)
2)hand to hand combat need fix
3)matchmaking takes too much time
4)strange headshots
5)lag kills--I shoot to some guy, he runs across the corner than he dies.

Thats the major issues.

I can’t wait to dig into the full game!

*ROCK THE HOUSE BABY*

Awsome game good job, i only have one issue. It would be nice if an option that zooms the camra out be implamented in the options, its extreemly hard to see whats behind you with out making a full pivit tern, also a sensitivity increass would be sweet

Posted by: MAD-01-DOG on 10-09-2009

Really liking this game a the moment. Only problem is it seems to take ages in finding other players before starting a game. Some internet connection problems as well, a shame as I have lost medals!!! Hopefully all this will be sorted for when the game launches.
Well done Naughty Dog keep up good work.

Posted by: bigbossjohn on 10-09-2009

Hello to Naughty dog team, I´m from Mexico, i want to congratulate you for their excellent work in Uncharted 2 among thieves, i think its gonna be the best in this year, but I have a problem with your beta, if i play at co-op game i can play whithout problems but, if i play in Deathmatch, Plunder or Elimination my play freezes and the weapon info desapears for 5 second and then te game starts again if i dont die jaja, please help me my conection is 1MB and you can check my PSN ID.
Thanks and congratulations for your excelent future game of the year you deserve.

Posted by: dveisalive on 10-09-2009

This is one of the greatest games of all time, I will play this all month before COD MW2 comes out but I will try to get my friends to buy this game ASAP. It is my new addiction I love the Gold rush mode in CO-OP arena it is so dam fun.

Posted by: daddyed on 10-10-2009

I would purchase a more strategic multi dlc.I am a little bias of the demograph playing a free dlc so this could be why I’m not enjoying the beta,this is my problem ,not yours, I know.I play Hardcore w.a.w and I,m looking forward to some similarity in options from the final game .

Posted by: Evil-PDA on 10-11-2009

Just wanted to say i have waited for a 3rd person multiplayer shooter that is decent for so long and im a big fan of uncharted i think nate has a winning attitude, so cogratulations u gave me everything i have waited for...... cant wait for the 3rd one...... just joking

Posted by: pyrovayne_ on 10-12-2009

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS DEMO, ty ND for all the hard work, I cant say I feel the same as some of these other ppl who have problems w/ accuracy on the ak (made for burst fire) or too much life its done perfect it feels like the single player on Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Looking forward to picking up my copy tomorrow.

W/ that said do u think u added enough points to level VI LOL

Posted by: skidpro on 10-16-2009

ok so u have a bad game and not many kills but why have naughtydog added a ‘you’ve been kicked from the game’ feature just because you aint on form and have low score on a few games? I am fed up with this kicking from games but as it usually happens at the end of game you cant join a new game and have to matchmake again..and its usually stupid yanks kicking people with their bluetooth headsets belching out hip hop or rap music oover a game, come on now! Get rid the kicking feature as it sucks and is uneccessary unless a player is being a nasty person to others online, and no, its cos I got low score on game...so what?

Posted by: Southlakesoldier on 10-17-2009

All I can say is that you guys at Naughty Dog have put out a stellar game. I absolutely love it. The single player campaign is grade A quality and I can’t wait for the next chapter in Nate’s adventures. Thank you for bringing justice to the video game world filled with remakes and small tweaks on older titles and coming up with something this massive and completely original. I personally know that everyone I talk to on the PSN that has played this game speaks nothing but high remarks on the attention to detail and compelling story that grasps players and makes them feel like they are part of the adventure. I for one could not put the game down. I dreaded every time I had to step away as I wanted to know how the story would end. From start to finish Uncharted 2 does not drop the ball and every owner of this games should know that this is truly an A+++ title. I really do appreciate the effort you have put into this game and want you to know that you are amongst the best when it comes to this series. Thanks once again for your hard work and please keep them coming.

Posted by: skidpro on 10-17-2009

The posts dont work, I want you to get rid kicking players from games as this happens all the time all because I score low....stop the people kicking people from games PLEASE! IT sucks and makes you feel uncomfortable with the multiplayer side of the game…

Posted by: charmy09 on 07-31-2010

i have a problem sometimes when i connect to the multiplayer menu i press the triangle button to invite a party but every one in my freind list appears to be playing single player and when i go to match making i cant find a match please help
