Uncharted 2 Twitter Updates
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!

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.
i dont like when people can shoot threw walls. thats not fair AT ALL
I have some pictures of some cheaters that are going behind walls. Where do I report them?
i agree with datwonguy i was just playing and thru out the day ive seen people glitching at the plaza, the village, and other areas plz fix these its so gay. i thought u guys fixd these glitches, i hardly even play U2 because of these reasons
i agree but alot of that has bin fiked it use to be realy bad
why is it that someone with a 1% completion and a rank of 42 get skelton that bull shith
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!
that’d be AWESOME!
I compleatly i mean whats the point to doing all this killing if we cant put it up on the internet and show the world what were really made of. Oh and does anyone know where i can see the pics i take in the game?
damn that would be so cool!!! and Naughty Dog i want to ask why u put coles electricityon his arms as a texture when it wouldve bee damn awesome to have it dynamic like in the actual infamous? please answer
that be hot!!!!!!
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?
this is not about the twitter stuff but it is about uncharted 2. Naughty dog has made a great game which i think is game of the year and may be my favorite game of all time. To make this more likable to me and everyone else who plays, Naughty dog needs to make the matchmaking on multiplayer faster to connect to the thousands of people playing. thats pretty nuts that there are so many people playing but it can’t connect fast. I know not everyone cares about trophies but i’m one of the people who do so could you make them a little more different then they are now. i would really appreciate it and many others. Many people who play the demo don’t think as highly as they could since it has the matchmaking problem. I downloaded the demo today and thought this game was magnificent(besides that problem)but other than that it has the best graphics i have ever seen, gameplay was so addictive that i played almost my who night away. So that is all i have to say, i really hope you guys will take me seriously and try and fix the things i ask. P.S. I really enjoyed jak and daxter and Uncharted 1.
somebody know where i can see all my uploads in my ps3? can’t find them…
It’s in the ‘cinema’ section when you start the game. Just look for uploaded videos.
Really interested in the µblog updates, but I no longer use twitter, I moved to a similar but better (in my eye at least) system :/
Since it mirrors the API for twitter, you just need to change the URL for updates - I assume NaughtyDog wouldn’t be interested in adding StatusNet support?

I actually signed up for Twitter because of this feature(for multiplayer games), but I’m certainly not complaining. It’s no problem to wait a few weeks. Friends can just as easily check your Trophies to see how far you’ve gotten in the game.
I still can’t understand how IGN gave your game less than 10. You’re offering a wealth of content and they called it one of the best games of this generation.
The green screen feature alone isn’t worth an extra .5 O_O?
I want it to update all the time, what’s the big deal about frequent updates?? isn’t that why we got twitter to begin with?? DUH!!
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!
Achei incrível essa interação! Mas concordo também que para o pessoal que fez o teste antes, possa ter causado frustações. Mas achei mais que perfeito!!!
PT-Br: Cara este blog é americano tem q postar em ingles. Eu tb sou Brasileiro.
ENG: Dude, this blog is from the US you have to post in English. I`m Brazilian too.
Hi guys,
I want to give your team congrats!!! Uncharted 2 is awesome!!! I`d like to go there and give the congrats in person, but I live in Brazil. Keep making awesome games like this. Your team is an example of dedication!
Thanks!
still waiting for the 13th! so close! luckily, i’m still spoiler-free.
Ok what’s going one with the stats, they where working so lovely, and I must admit I am highly addicted to seeing how I’m doing…
-But for three days now they are not working at all… :( -what’s up with that, what happened.
*Also where are the videos that I upload going because I can’t find them.
same here can’t find the vids or stats
n estou preocupado
Hey Naughty Dog, loving the beta and I can’t wait for this game. Just please remember use Canadians when it comes to those Fortune Hunter Editions. Keep up the good work!
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
We all know Naughty Dog has a long and fruitful past when it comes to executing a game from the development stage all the way down to the finished product but I’m going to have to say I’ve noticed one somewhat major flaw to uncharted 2.
you say that this game is to somewhat tap into the new wave of social networking sites that we have all come to know and use on a somewhat day to day basis but Twitter? why? I know this game is being aimed at the higher age ranges but most people given the choice would prefer to use Facebook i know i would surely you guys have the skill to just bolt it on somewhat in the next update. I’m not nitpicking I’m merely making a suggestion
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 ..
best multiplayer i have ever played( I’ve played alot).
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…
You need to also include MySpace or Facebook. Please xD.
I’m sure you can use a pc app or mobile app that pushes status’s to other social networks all at once, in my opinion that would be the workaround at the moment, I’ll reply when I remember the name of the app, it involves you logging into facebook and messing with the apps permissions settings!

MY PSN ABOVE
Just wondering if yall ever make an Uncharted 3 can u please make a city setting
for some reason the Beta would allow me to connect to twitter but the actual game won’t what is with that
cool.....
Naughty Dog - Congrats on a great game. I’ve never seen or played anything like it. It truly shows off the power of the ps3. One quick question? Are you looking into the crash issue some of us are having with the older model ps3?
See link below:

My Games doesnt show up on twitter at all, it did on beta, but since then nothing has shown up on twitter!
Has anyone addressed the issue where Players met in Uncharted 2 Multiplayer dont show up on XMB players met or the Party Up players met area?
@Naughty Dog
Wow. Great idea guys. Wait till the majority of the fanbase have already beaten the game and then reactivate the option. You all got some smart people working there…
hey i have not been able to set up my twitter account on uncharted 2. could some one help me
how do i find my uploaded videos? some 1 email me how

cool man how so you do it
im having problems connecting to multiplayer it keeps telling me error syncing player data please help
I’ve got the same problem as the person above. I was just about to start a Deathmatch game but it froze at the part where it shows the two teams. I didn’t want to turn my PS3 off so I signed off at the XMB screen. Ever since doing that I keep getting Error Syncing Player Data. Is there any way to solve this problem?
the invites need fixing, i’m randomly getting kicked out of peoples party for no reason.
need more maps. finding players in lobbies take too long ever since the last update.
I hate when people quit in the middle of the game or they just stand there during the game, or, shooting at there partners or trying to blow them up
let players buy skin that they create 10$ if u do i wont it 4 free ok
