LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Goes Freemium As Of Today

Posted on Tuesday, February 26 @ 10:54:52 Eastern by Keri_Honea

The currently gaming fad/rage these days is the free-to-play market, and Naughty Dog is going to tap into it with (of all things) the multiplayer portion from Uncharted 3. As of today, anyone and everyone on the PSN can download the Uncharted 3 multiplayer for free.

The first 15 levels of competitve multiplayer, and beyond that, that's where the microtransactions begin. Some of these include raising the level cap to 25, removing the level cap, and purchasing the co-op content.

Lead game designedr Robert Coburn told Joystiq that Naughty Dog is dipping into the freemium pool to 1) "reinvigorate" Uncharted 3 players as well as 2) test the world of free-to-play.

Interesting idea or is this a failure waiting to happen? I can see other multiplayer games having far more success with this model, but Uncharted 3? Or am I totally clueless about how popular the multiplayer portion of this game is?

    I never touch the multiplayer in games like this. Especially uncharted because I honestly don't like the combat very much, but the puzzle solving and plot/dialogue keeps me coming back.

    I never played multiplayer from any of the Uncharted games. It would be nice to get some trophies from the multiplayer.

    Are you interested in horrible contextual combat? The game not allowing you to jump where you want? People dodge-melee-rolling to knock you out with taking damage? Want to play a game where running in circles using auto-aim/hip fire is 50% more accurate than ADS'ing?

    Download this game.

    During the beta, Uncharted 3 was awesome. But when they released the full version, it seemed like they took stuff away, instead of adding to make the experience better.

    I wouldn't call this free to play, Naughy Dog. It's just an extended trial period.

    I never actually played the multiplayer on any of the Uncharted games. It felt so tacked on that I just didn't bother with it.
