Uncharted 2 Twitter Updates
An update on Unchated 2’s twitter support
So we’ve seen some concern about the frequency of updates for those choosing to use Uncharted 2’s twitter support. Some reviewers have had early access to the game and selected the option to update their twitter accounts as they completed each chapter of the game. This has resulted in some twittter feeds being updated multiple times an hour. We obviously want to provide the best experience for everybody so for the time being we’ve disabled twitter updates on chapter completions. The option will still exist in the menus when the game ships on 10/13, but if activated, it will do nothing. Some time after the game has shipped, we’ll release a patch to reactive the feature, but with a limit on the frequency of updates. We’re certainly sorry for any inconvenience, but I guess that’s the risk you run when trying to blaze a new trail in the complicated world of social media!

i would love it if you could upload screenshots to twitpic, and i take it the video uploader is still in the works ("match history”?) it would be fantastic if the videos could be saved onto your HDD, then it can be transferred to your computer for some montage making!

I don’t really mind but it does sort of overcrowd ones Twitter feed.
To answer to wlchrbandit, I think that could be a nice idea if it isn’t to hard to implement. 
Anyway, game looks great, thanks for the update about the features.
PS: If a Dog comes by this...will DLC be regioned? Could I play a DLC bought on European PS Store with an US copy of the game?

Hi there, dear Naughty Dogs!
Thanks for the update. I don’t really mind the Twitter-updates to be honest, but it’s nice to see you’re very involved.
Talking about involvement, I’d like to say that I’m really impressed by the demo so far. The game looks, feels and plays fantastic. Good job!
There are, however, a few small issues I’d like to address… Perhaps you can look into this before the game hits shelves.
User Interface:
• When you go to ‘Party up’, you can see the players you’ve met in the right column. By clicking on their names, you can select ‘View profile’ and ‘Add friend’. I’d like to see these options when you’re in matchmaking-listings/the match as well.
Currently, you can only select ‘mute’ when you highlight a player, but watching their profile or adding them as a friend directly would be very convenient.
• In that regard, I’d also really like to see a ‘Show players stats’ option when highlighting someone. It’s fun to compare or just watch stats of your friends or randoms while waiting for a match to finish loading, or while waiting for the next round in Elimination.
I know there’s a personal page with stats for everyone at NaughtyDog.com, but it would be nice to be able to see all this info in-game as well.
Matchmaking
• I’m sure there will be more playlists/gametypes in the full game, but I’d like to point out that I’d really like to see seperate playlists for Elimination. Maybe you could do variations on that too (like ‘Snipers & Grenades’ or ‘No grenades’), but at least give it it’s own playlist, instead of just adding it as a variation to the Deathmatch playlists, because in my opinion, Elimination is the best gametype available.
• Because of that, I’d like the Elimination matches to be a bit longer (more rounds to win the game - 10 should be just fine!)
• More filter-options in general
Elimination
• Between every round, both teams should be able to talk to eachother for a few seconds (not just in the seperate voicechat-channel for people that’ve died). It’s fun to laugh together about the final kill.
• When you get close to someone from the other team, you can hear ‘em. This is great, but please don’t cut someone off immediately when you kill him or her. It’s fun to hear their reaction after you pull them from a ledge, or give them an unexpected headshot. 
• Please allow for more rounds to select when setting up a custom Elimination game with friends. A maximum of 7 rounds just isn’t enough!
Custom Games
• I’d really like to see a ‘open mic’ option, so all 10 players/friends in a private party can continue talking casually while playing a 5vs5 versus match
Gameplay
• Please allow for the ‘stealth’-stance (which can be used by pressing D-pad Down in Machinima mode and the singleplayer) to be used in multiplayer-games as well. This would be quite useful in Elimination, where you need to be silent and careful.
General:
• How about in-game music through XMB, just like in Killzone 2? Not for the singleplayer, just for the multiplayer.
Cinema Mode:
• It would be GREAT to be able to capture a few minutes of video in the Cinema mode and upload it directly to YouTube (like you can do in Ragdoll Kung Fu, for instance)
General:
• How about in-game music through XMB, just like in Killzone 2? Not for the singleplayer, just for the multiplayer! Or: Add some exciting music when the timer is running out, or if the other team is about to win…
That’s it. No nitpicking, no big changes. Just these small (and relatively simple to add) things would make a big difference to an already amazing package.
Thanks for reading and good luck with the release! I CAN’T WAIT!

Ok stats are back up, but are they working, No…
Can anyone comment on this, like just a little insight on what is happening did the server crash, or is it because the final game is not out yet why this is no-longer working..
just curious… would love to see my numbers on how I’m doing, I have already pre-ordered.
Also will the ranks re-set again when the final game comes out… would really love to know this, because I’m already level 36 and I want to get to 50 but if it’s just going to restart..?
Anyway Loving the Game Naughty Dog - Amazing job…
I am sure you guys will do over 5 million copies sold this time out… easily ..

Indeed could not agree more…
It’s really something special.. I only had that feeling one other time while playing a beta.. and that was Call Of Duty 4 - from the second I started playing the beta I knew they had something special here..
Uncharted 2 has that same feeling -the feeling that the developers have really made something special here… They just got so many things right, that there is no way this does not become the hottest selling PS3 title.
-I just hope they add enough maps for the multi-player, because if they do, people will be playing this for months and months even with Modern Warfare 2 right around the corner..
and let’s hope they have some (DLC) Down loadable Content planed with more maps, because Gamers can always use more maps and some new guns and new outfits..
10-13-09 -just can’t get here fast enough…

Eh, I don’t mind the frequent Twitter updates. I think it’s cool to see how people are playing the game but I can understand the frustration.
