Uncharted 2 Could Have Co-Op

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo April 25th, 2009 at 9:46 AM    


As is the case with a lot we read on the internet, it's tough to separate fact from fiction.  So before we get started, firmly file this one in the rumor category. 

It all started earlier this week when Sony and some of its developers held an event showing off some upcoming titles, including Uncharted 2: Among Thieves from Naughty Dog.  A few days later Screw Attack claimed to have a source break an embargo, announcing that Uncharted 2 would have a multiplayer and co-op mode, though the co-op would be a different "campaign." 

So while the idea of multiplayer or co-op in one of the greatest single player games to hit the PlayStation 3 is not out of the question, it looked doubtful.  Rumors cropped up months back when the above screenshot was released for the game, but Sony and Naughty Dog quickly squashed the rumor. 

But new evidence has just come to light from Kotaku in the form of a promotional flyer.    You see, Sony promised an "electrifying announcement" concerning inFAMOUS and Uncharted 2 on Monday April 27th.  It appears this leaked flyer from BestBuy states that pre-ordering inFamous gets you into the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta.

So if the rumors about multiplayer were true, chances are the rumors about co-op have some credence.  We'll be watching this one closely for sure.  The first Uncharted was an incredibly amazing game, one that should not be missed by anyone.

It's games like this that make me wish I had a PS3. Maybe one day...

As long as it is co-op campaign, I dont mind if it is a different campaign (wel...at least if the secondary campaign manages to be as good as the main one).

Dungeon Siege is juts like that too and has an awesome co-op campaign!

I really hope this is true. The whole time I was playing Uncharted, I kept thinking that it seemed as though it should have co-op. There are some platforming puzzle sections where you are alone, but there are also significant parts of the game where you have a partner tagging along with you (either Sully or the girl).

Uncharted is reason enough to get a PS3. There are other reasons, but Uncharted really blew me away. It was one of my favorite reviews I have written in my years of reviewing.

I loved Uncharted, and the fact that Uncharted 2 will have some kind of co-op is super awesome.

After owning all 3 major systems, Uncharted is one of 2 of the most beautiful games I've ever played (MGS4 is the other). The graphics throughout the entire game will make you say "Wow" more than if youve played the similarly titled MMORPG for years prior.

I'm completely stoked - now, someone tell Sony to include a headset so I CAN co-op here!

@Shadowkat

You can co-op without a headset --- People will just think you're a mute.

I've been extremely excited for Uncharted 2, and that was before this announcement. The original is one of the best games I've played this generation, and being able to play it with a friend would be excellent.

...Also, I guess my witty stick-the-tongue-out-smiley after that mute joke up there wasn't witty enough to show up?

"Voucher valid 6/3/09-6/28/09." I think we have a possible release date!!!!
 
txshurricane at 06:25 PM on 4.26.2009

Betas generally end anywhere from 2-4 weeks before release. I think we may have a release date range, but nothing specific yet.

Awwww. Crap. Now I remember the Halo 3 beta in summer 07. The game came out in November though.
