Sony is joining the fight against Corona, enticing gamers to stay home and play games instead of going out in the world risking spread of the disease. Wow, that just sounds bad. But welcome to 2020 folks.
Yesterday, Naughty Dog shutdown the multiplayer servers for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (along with the multiplayer servers for The Last of Us). The announcement was made last June via a blog posting on Naughty Dog's website, and the fated day has come and gone, leaving all our co-op adventures in the digital dust.
Ah, Nathan Drake. Explorer. Survivalist. Purveyor of witty comebacks. We thought that you were gone from our lives when we packed away our PS3s, or at least until Uncharted 4 comes out. Like the Phoenix, though, you arise and return to our lives once more with the addition of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves to Playstation Now's library!
Good games never die. They just get cheaper. Unless they're rare. Then they get ridiculously expensive, but I digress. Luckily for us, and fans of good games everywhere, Sony is offering all of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves DLC for the low, low price of el zilcho. That's right. It's all free.
There is something quite Stat-tacular when a game series reaches a certain maturity. The Halo franchise recently created an infographic showing how many times the game has been played over the years and now it is the turn of the Uncharted series. The franchise has been co-op since the second game and with over 15 million games sold, let’s hope for more. Check out the gallery for the full size image and bask in the history of Nathan Drake and the fact you have all been playing the games for more than 2500 years.
Sony is giving some of their iconic games new love this July. We recently reported on a Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 bundle. It looks like the compilation will have company. According to CVG.com, a listing for an Uncharted 1 and 2 bundle appeared on a retail website earlier today. The page has since been removed, but SCEE confirmed the bundle. There will also be a Ratchet and Clank pack which will include the games R&C: Tools of Destruction and R&C: A Crack in Time. The bundles will offer assorted extras like dynamic themes, avatars, or exclusive skins that tie into each game's upcoming sequel. The best part? All of these bundles will be released on July 22!
This weekend marks the one year anniversary of Uncharted 2's release on the PlayStation 3. To celebrate this, developer Naughty Dog is having a huge online celebration for the game offering 5x the amount of cash available in each match with no cap. It's a great chance to level up your player quickly - especially if you just picked up one of those swanky GOTY editions. This is available in all modes including the game's cooperative modes.
Every year during the fall season the biggest names in games from the previous year like to launch a special bundle of their title called the Game of the Year Edition. These typically include bonuses, dlc, patches and more rolled into one disc for a nice discount.
Although normally devoted to competitive multiplayer modes, this weekend's The Lab - an experimental custom playlist that is featured every other weekend - ramps up the difficulty of two Uncharted 2's Co-Op Arena modes.
We were all surprised to see a new piece of co-op content coming to Uncharted 2, especially after so many denials it would ever happen. Yet, Siege Mode is upon us, and Co-Optimus sat down with Naughty Dog to get the dirt on co-op gaming in Nathan Drake's world, and what we might see next.
Despite a new co-op mode "not being likely" we got information about a new co-op mode coming to Uncharted 2 via a leak. Today we have the official announcement and screens straight from Sony and Naughty Dog that unveil the next piece of content to be released on April 22nd.
