Hello friend; for once we agree! I've been participating in the multiplayer beta and this should drive a few more sales to people who wouldn't have otherwise bothered to play Uncharted.
The demo makes for a very convincing gameplay experience. Once public it should add to sales, improving on the performance of the first game. The feedback online is predominantly positive and many people in the beta plan to buy the game.
Not sure if I should have submitted this under inFamous, instead - as I imagine this included beta will have at least a slight impact on the game's sales.
Looks as though Sony's "electrifying announcement" may have been leaked a bit early. A Best Buy pre-order box features this promo for an Uncharted 2 "Multiplayer Beta Voucher," as revealed by Kotaku. From what we can garner from the box, purchasing inFamous will give players an early preview of Uncharted 2's online mode. This would be a rather smart move on Sony's part, leveraging one of its biggest franchises to promote a new IP.
Nathan Drake returns with a whole new adventure which revolves around the 13th century explorer Marco Polo and his voyages. The new PlayStation 3 title will add a free climbing mechanic and stealth gameplay. Players can also expect all-new locations, characters and a focus on the game’s story.
