Rika and Pinkerton MP skins come to North America
We’re totally not pulling an April Fool’s on you for this one—on April 1, the UNCHARTED: Eye of Indra Bundle is going to be launched on the PlayStation Network store in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Along with it also come the oft-requested Rika Raja and Daniel Pinkerton multiplayer skins!
We’ve been working a long time to bring these over from Europe and we’ve worked closely with SCEA to make sure that we will also make sure all all our fans who have already purchased all three episodes also get the Rika and Pinkerton skins.
FULL details on the release of the Bundle and how this will all work are on the PlayStation.Blog.

wait a minute. dont we have this already?
i mean i have the eye of indra episodes, the skins… i paied for them. are there ones for free???
The Bundle and the skins were not available in the US, Canada or Mexico.
Hey Arne, my level was reset from 55 to 1 some time after 1.04. Any way you could restore it? please. I’m a dedicated player of the online. :D
Unfortunately we’re not able to restore your level from when it was reset back when we were fixing the error syncing player data issue that came up.
Arne, Please reply to this and I will never moan about 1.05/6 again. MAKE A 1.04 PLAYLIST!!!! It’s not hard, you did it with plunder. All that crap about waiting for the dust to settle, well its settled and your STILL getting 800+ negative comments on ALL title updates since 1.05. I also noticed how your repling how you normally do on topics such as DLC, not the the things that need addressing cough 1.06 cough, infact i don’t think I’ve saw a single reply on 1.05/1.06. By the way you should make betas of these title updates as there so drastic, rather than playtesting yourselves. Make it an open beta too, maybe make it a playlist and dont force us into playing it. Then make a poll at the end, and make it straight forward. That way it gets accross to EVERYONE, not just people who go on this site, and maybe you can do better with the satistics this time. thanks for reading *hopfully*
Making a beta of title updates? That’s probably going a bit too far.
I think you’ve been too focused and centred on the negetive feedback because they’re your personal views. You have to remember that the lowered health weekend recieved largely positive response.
I personally prefer the lowered health, and yes, I do think it would cope best with a seperate playlist. But all that still doesn’t really give you the right to bash any decision ND make.
I really want to see changes to the Machinima and Cinema mode. There are so many ways it could be improved and I find it a way bigger deal than these health issues.
The only change to the health I wanna see is headshots should be 1-2 hit kills with ANY weapon.
There, I’m done. Thanks for reading.
I wouldn’t agree with that. A fair few people liked it. A fair few people didn’t like it. And most people said make it its own playlist - not because they liked it, but because they understood that while they may not like it, other people would. And so basically there were far more people against it and for it, and from that we end up with people hating the game for months.
Personally I’ve moved past it now and got back into the game through willpower alone - I didn’t want to lose my favourite game so I persevered. I couldn’t bare to play it through 1.05 but picked it up again after 1.06. The only thing I’d change now would be the firing rate of the FAL - I can live with the rest. ^_^
hey arne when are u guys gonna fix u2 multiplayer? u keep closcting awards for a game that dosent exists no more the updates made this game utter garbage. u have 3000 ppl that hate the updates. thats wha u should be answering . i cant belive 3000 ppl ask u the same question and u or any at nd still not answering.
Seriously stop complaining, it only takes couple of hours playing Uncharted 2 with newest update to get use to 1.06 and it is AWESOME.
Keep up good work Naughty Dog.
I agree, nd has turned uc2 into a beta. which is why i quit playing. I was on this game every day after i got off work, but nd went frm amazing to right down shit. My hat is off to ya for turning the best game of the year to the biggest fail ever. No offence to arne but you are damn good at answering all questions but the important ones. Do they teach you that or is it natural.
would you mind fixing the Fal at least make the rate of fire a little faster?
And could you add a free for all mode(all players on there own no teams)it would be awesome and i think alot of people who left would come back
thanks for reading Arne and the rest of you guys at ND
Hey Arne, could you explain to me why you can’t just take the skins and give them out now? I mean, it doesn’t seem to be that hard of a task to me.
Hey Arne, please reply, is there a possibility that ND would put the radius of grenades back to normal, your oponent(s) literally have to be standing on the grenade to take effect. and a free for all game mode?
For a few months, the two skins were only available in Europe. Now they’re coming to North America. The only way North Americans get them for free is if they already bought all Eye of Indra episodes.
Thanks ND! I’ve been looking forward to this character release. I appreciate it.
That’s slightly incorrect. After April 1, if you purchase the Bundle you will also get the skins. They were always slated to be a bonus if you purchased the full Bundle.
wow so I paid money for the comics Now i gotta buy them again for the skins? Wtf?
no u dont u get an email with psn voucher
Head over to the PlayStation.Blog post to see how we’re taking core of folks who have bought Eye of Indra episodes. We want to make sure you don’t have to pay twice over.
Arne, i respect you as a person that tries to have close contact with his customers. But the way i feel that this is going, is that your are slowly preparing everyone that the FAL is not going to change and that you guys are pretty happy with the way things are right now. You know perfectly to slowly tell everyone the way its gonna be without leaving a painfull damage for the players. but serious, dont talk arround it, tell us whats the deal with all this. the first day i had this game and started playing i noticed the big amount of skills you needed to make a kill, thats what 80% of the poeple loved and made them keep playing. now we are at this point that its all messed up.. why did you guys changed it soo bad, there is nothing left of what it was, it seriously hurts me that something so beautiful gets changed to something so awfull. i gotta agree i try to adapt to the game every day, but its not working, its not the way it was, im open for new things but i started to play the multiplayer because it had something special. the special is gone now.
i seriously tried everything to adapt, everyday i started the game up with a big smile, hoping that it goes better, normally i would allready be doing good because i had the skill to get kills without dying(1.04). now its just praying that you dont get * up from behind by a noob that with the normal update wouldnt make a damn kill.
again, i respect you guys for staying close to the customers, but all those awards you guys won for a game that isnt even the same anymore, you guys dont even deserve it anymore if you think about it.
poeple problably think shut up and play the damn game but this is NOT where i payed 70 euros for.
at last i wanna say: if you tell your customers, that you make the FAL 10% weaker, dont talk bullshit but say its gonna be slower, thats a whole different thing. not that it matters because you guys are doing whatever you want but at least speak the truth.
i hope that its getting better( at the point of 1.04 )

A game with online, especially multiplayer isn’t a fire and forget thing, it’s basically a long-term service, which is one we’ll support. Because of that, theoretically nothing is permanent, especially because we can’t anticipate long-term play styles of players or even what may be uncovered by our player population. As such, I can’t in good faith say, we’re never going to touch ‘X’ thing again, because that may do so in future. So what I can say is that we like how it is “right now.” Which is the truth. That can and may change at any point.
We didn’t change the FAL damage (at least in all the conversations I’ve had with everyone) only the rate of fire.
FAL is still the best gun well to me at least.
Arne I am glad Naughty Dog likes how it plays....Cause I know you are the ones that went out and spent your hard earn cash that is in short demand right now to buy the game! Please FIX THE HEALTH back to the way it was....Fix the death lag....Respawn points (which you are doing). Quit spliting Party up group when it is 5 on 5. Your Daily player counts are down....That should tell you something. So I hope you here your fans! Thanks Sean
how is cash in short demand right now? you don’t want it that bad? But seriously, if the economy has destroyed you so bad that sixt dollars is hard to come by, then maybe you shouldn’t worry so much about playing video games.
they might like how the games plays but I dont
yes nilla! the FAL is still a great weapon!
Yeah, I have already bought the episodes, was sorta POed I didn’t get the skins.
So this is the April DLC? That sucks. I have the skins an many other people too. We want something new in April as well.
i dont think it is the same dlc that was mentioned before. but keep in mind, naughtydog never said anything was coming out in april, just IGN which ND basically said wasn’t true.
new maps april 15, 4 maps 1 co-op i think.
THE GAME SHOULD BE CALLED “UNCHARTED 2: AMONG CAMPERS”!!!!!!
so you can’t run up and shotty anyone now, big deal. 1.06 adds a much bigger emphasis on team play and quick thinking as opposed to the shoot,roll,jump,shoot tactics that everyone has grown accustomed to…
lol not true, i always play alone and get the worst teams. all i do is camp with the ak, grenade kill people when they chase and always get upwards of 18 kills. I can tell its so much easier because of the lowered health. fleet foot and down the irons and no one can kill me unless they are behind me.
come on Eskobar4, i’ve played u and ur good so it shouldn’t be that hard.
This is a joke. Are you kidding me? We dont need no more stupid crap what we need is the game we bought. yea that thing that was game of the year. Fix this mess and quit playing games with us.
look it seems that u guys at naughty dog like how the 1.06 is but i did a bit of looking over at the polls u guys had out before this and 36% of the voters liked it 34% didnt but if u take all the people that didnt put that they liked it its over 60% but the way u guys set it up mostlikly confused people because 1 selection was for not liking it. but 4 others were pretty much saying that they liked it so it wasnt entirely fair. i my self didnt like the lower health and i stil dont and i am sad to say that i am losing interest in U2 and no joke this is my all time favorite game and im am thrilled that naughty dog keeps winning awards but it kinda seems that it getting to your heads. U2 is starting to seem like mw2 and i hate to say that because that game sucks. i know people are going to say “no it doesnt its awsome blah blah bla” if they dont think it sucks then go play it but dont make U2 like it. we die slightly slow then mw2 and the way we get medals now are the same. naughty dog shouldnt have to copy other games too be better it is better. actually it was better. what i think should happen is a poll to see who likes 1.06 and who doesnt that simple. and u guys at naughty dog probably like the way it is but the game isnt for u guys its for us the players so please dont make this game any worse. nobodys probably going to see this but i hope someone does.
thanks.
You have answered my prayors! Five days ago I wished for this bundle/skinpack to come to NA! Call me a geek but they just so cool!
Can ND please make a Kratos, and Zues skin for Multi-Player!!??
lmfao
Alright, what if i bought all the episodes, but erased them cause of space on my ps3, Would i still get the skins?
all the people that posted on 1.06, find another gun other than the damn FAL!
LOL I just have to say that Rika Raja is one ugly beast therefore i will be her well maybe is Pinkerton the Villon or is Rika or are they both hero’s
i hope you dont have to get both I already have the episodes and i just want the skins
Click over to the PS.Blog post—we’ve made sure that everyone who has bought or will buy ALL three episodes will also receive the skins retroactively!
FIX THE DAMN MULTIPLAYER INSTEAD OF GIVING US SKINS!!!!
You do realize those skins were completed and available to PSN Europe 4 months ago right?
They’re also made by different folks in the studio than those who have been working on MP Title Updates, patching up areas of the map that glitchers use, tweaking gameplay, etc.
I can tell you with certainty that working on one thing does not affect our continued work and support of MP overall.
just because these guys(anti 1.06) are more “vocal” than the other players, doesn’t necessarily mean everyone agrees with them. I know you guys are watching number of players on and play times, and from what I’ve heard both have significantly increased since 1.06. They are also saying you guys should experiment before applying these patches, which you did, and from the poll it seems much more people were for it than against it. So don’t worry about the criticism arne, for every one of these a*holes there’s ten of of who appreciate the way you’ve been listening to us.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U “kevinistight”!!!!!!!!!
Oh boy! Now I get to play a horrible multiplayer game with two characters that I’ve never heard of!!!
Don’t care, and don’t care.
1.04
You cared enough to leave a comment
are you going to fix spawn and go back to 1.04!!!
at least tell us something arne please.
See a couple comments below - spawns are being worked on and fixed as we speak.
spawning was fine back in 1.04, any way we could get 1.04 back arne?
dude u sound like a jerk straight up!! the guy is just expressing himself about how he feels about the new skins and you reply with that kind of comment???? i do agree with him.. after all i thought this was a website where u wanted to hear our feed back? why reply in that rude way???
I was poking a little fun because of the sarcasm. I would hope it’s not always srs bsns. sorry.
As a PR you should always consider your words. Specially at this “unhappy moments”
But you got from me 1 Thumb up coz you decided to apologize.
You are welcome arne
We also ask for sorry for some unjustified rude words posted in ND Blog. Sorry ND
That doesn’t mean I’m happy with the 40K penalty.
LOL
thanks!
yea you could say that but, its not the first time i read a comment from u that sounds like that..
have you read ANYTHING that you guys have been saying to him? I would’ve sent you guys off with a nice “f*ck you” by now, the patience arne has is unbelievable..
dude what do u expect they got nothing they wont admit they screwd up with the new updates. 3000 ppl say its shit. but now arne starts with smart ass coments. i supose thats what u get for spending 60$ for goty with now is shitty. updates ruined this game . bring it back to 1.04 problem fixed.
You seem like a rad guy. Don’t listen to people who are getting on your case I’d like to see them be able to make a game as good as UC2. People really need to chill out on the updates, if you can play the game you CAN PLAY no update should change this. People complaining about camping have to realize they don’t know what another player is doing the whole time. If you get ambushed by someone you didn’t know was there it’s probably because they saw you coming. Seriously get over yourselves.
Says the one who arne is referring to, says all the one with unmature comments, says everyone complaining constantly and doesn realize the facts and precautions. If they can reply “rude” why can´t he? And that with some sarcasm and not some “faggot” words?
^ i lol’d
Wait, i forgot, what’s your role again arne?
Wow, that was quick.
Yeah..... That’s great and all,...... but could you guys fix the multiplayer?
I mean at the bare MINIMUM, at least fix the spawns, THAT’S THE VERY LEAST YOU COULD DO!
THEN the fal, grenades, health, sniper, melee lag, and bullet lag.
There’s more, but that’s all that comes to mind.
Spawns are being fixed as we speak.
We’ll keep an eye on all the weapon balance, but at the moment, we’re happy with where they are and how it’s being used in online matches.
grenades ??????????????????????????
Same thing, we’ll keep an eye on it, we’ve had some discussions about it over the past couple of weeks, but there’s no plans right now to change the grenade damage or radius.
keep the grenades please, dont die every time i turn a * corner or by some random shitty grenade by some lvl 20.
you’ve got to be kidding me the new update for grenades sucks. yes i know 1 meter is not alot in life but in this game it could mean if u kill someone or not. u guys need to realize that they are grenades they are ment to kill u with good range its stupid to turn down there power because people dont like to be blown un by them. THERE GRENADES!!!!!!! GET OVER IT!!!!!!!
dont keep on eye out for weapon balancing!!! KEEP ON EYE OUT FOR FIXXING ALL GLITCHES ON ALL MAPS, FIXING THE FREINDLY FIRE ON CO-OP AND ON MULTIPLAYER, AND BRINGING UPDATE 1.4 BACK… THATS WHAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET.. U SHOULD KEEP ON EYE OUT FOR FIXING THE GAME BACK TO HOW IT WAS AND NOT MAKING IT LIKE CALL OF DUTY!!!!!
1.04 is probably not coming back because that are like what close to 800-900 people complaining like assholes and like 60000 having fun.
What do you want fixed with friendly fire on co-op? We’ve kept friendly fire enabled for a reason on co-op, which is why it’s stayed like that.
Map glitching is continually being addressed - it’s a slower process and, as to be expected, folks will find new ways to exploit the map as well.
friendly fire is some much fun to have around. u just are so addicted u cant see it.
Hey Arne I’m just asking but how long does it take to fix a glitch, do have to do something to block it off,
I know almost every glitch In this game. I like to just mess around in them. And also how many new characters do you guys have coming out or is it just those 2?
I liked 1.04 because it was less stressful and more fun, but I’ve never played more continuous hours than after 1.06 because I’m unlocking the multiplayer trophies. Just because 60,000 are playing doesn’t mean that they are having fun.
That being said, I will forever play U2 multiplayer. Because even at its worst, its still the most fun I’ve ever had online.
OK forget about the co-op friendly fire. But what about the Multiplayer friendly fire?? If thats not EVER going to get fixxed like u said, then tell me whats the point of having it turned on??? I mean it is a problem in the game i hate gettin kicked out of Matches for ACCIDENTLY killing my own team mates.. its also a problem when your tryng to get a rage or a rampant..
About time someone realized this, props to you nillacoke, you’re official considered “mature” unlike the rest of the middleschool/highschoolers here.
and eskobar, be a little more careful and you wont kill teamates, its really not THAT hard.....have friendly fire on keeps people from spamming grenades whenever a teammate is in a gunfight. and there’s plenty of other similar situations this prevents…
@ M-Brother: ur right 60000 playing doesn’t mean they are having fun but it doesnt mean they hate it, talk shit about it, or are crying their ass off for 1.04. they play because they give a damn and know its only a game and that the people of ND are only human. think about it, if u play u give them feedback about the gameplay because they monitor the games or at least some of the games u play.
@ Sgt_JordanWhite: thank you.
@ Everyone, this is a blog about the skins so keep other arguements out of here. But hey even I can’t resist a good debate so…
@Eskobarz: Like I said before,without the friendly fire explosions would be out of control with no thought as to when and where to use them. Watch where you throw your grenades and shoot your Hammer and RPG.
lol whythehellcanti, i agree with ur statement about the explosions, keep friendly fire on.
don’t blow up your teammates then bro. I’ve read several of your comments and u claim to have skill, yet u complain about friendly fire. No disrespect, but if u don’t notice your teammate about to snap a guys neck or clock him 1, and he/she doesn’t see u hurl a grenade at said guy, somebody mite die. I could see if it counted against your team, but it doesn’t. So be more careful is all. Thats a testament to true skill. I think that at least. Thanx.
arne u need a place to report glitchers and glitches.
when is the next DLC and the one after it?
april 15, 4 maps and i think a co-op.
that was on IGN, naughtydog never confirmed any of that.
ok then nevermind but i think i got it off a different website and so far they were right about the DLC in feb. so maybe.
You’re happy with getting shot at while running into cover, getting in cover and then watching yourself die while in cover because the bullets that should be hitting a wall are still hitting you? lol i think not.
I’m deeply enjoying the MP, Arne. Despite its quirks.
New skins are always a plus for me. But, I’m really curious about the new Co-op deal that you dogs are working on. It’s coming out fairly soon isn’t it?
I’m still waiting for news on multiplayer…
Still not touching the game until my FAL gun is fixed(BACK TO NORMAL)..anyway, I’ll be patient.
Oh, and as for the skins...meh...I’ll wait for Kratos or something cooooooooler. lol
Actually, we think the FAL is in a really good spot right now as far as weapon balance.
ARNE: OH MY GAWWWWWWWWD. IS ND SERIOUS ABOUT CURRENT FAL STATS? There goes my hope for return of FAL - right out the window!
FAL is amazing still, u guys have no skill, i took two AK guy out that were BOTH shooting me so stop talking BS about it.
FAL is a weapon that takes skill, its not a run and gun weapon.
yea exactly.
Excuse me?? No skill?? Have you even played me? Ever? Once??
And like I’ve never dealt with two (or even three) guys mowing down on me while using FAL against them.
You are an idiot (and a child) for coming to quick conclusion that just because I dislike the current FAL, I have no skill. What a dumba**
so the three guys u took down with a FAL were wat like lvl 10 and i wasnt refering to u having no skill and if u are sooo good, why would u even complain.
It must bother you guys having everyone complain to you about every little thing you do, huh? I’m guilty of complaining about some of the changes you guys have made to the game, and even thought about retiring from it but I realized I love this game too much. And to be honest with you, the MP has gotten better… the grenades aren’t as powerful, which is a good thing. Shooting someone in the chest SHOULD result in a quicker death for them, and shooting them in the legs should slow the death process down a bit. The FAL isn’t useless, but a very good weapon with a tough learning curve (I’ve gotten used to it).
ND, I’ve gotten used to the 1.06 update and I really don’t want ANYMORE changes to the MP unless it’s for glitches and spawns. The fact that I’ve stayed loyal to your game after the wave of complaints and empty threats, as well as readjusting my playing style all within a month. Well, it tells you just how much I love your game and I’m going to tell you something that my friends and I agree with. YOU GUYS NEEDED A BACKBONE - and that comment about how you guys feel about the FAL made me smile. Whoever doesn’t like the game is free to leave, but I’ll stay. Along with 70,000 other people who obviously love the game enough to stay after the tsunami of other MP games that hit the PS3.
: )
