Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception Multiplayer Beta

Unchartered 3 multiplayer beta is out now. I have not played Unchartered before but hey, it is free and exclusive for PS+ users for now. Since Sony offered PS+ for thirty days for free, everyone should have this beta.

Searching...searching..searching

I played a co-op and a multiplayer.Took me almost an hour to find a game through matchmaking. Seems like no one is playing it yet or it is just failing. The controls are fine but the character movements and shooting are clunky. Controls are easy to get used to though. The camera is not a problem but the character movement is bugging me. I think there is a lag input or something. It is just not fun. I tried to keep playing but the framerate dropped so low that the PS3 froze. I guess the PS3 forgot to decrease the texture on other parts of the map. Lol. The UI is at least better and much less cluttered compared to SOCOM4 during gameplay. Which is what I like.Anyways, that's my first impression. I am not purchasing this game.

PSN : Sign of life? SOCOM4 Leaderboard Active

I am not sure what exactly going on here but for some reason, some people can access the games online. Playtesting perhaps. Who knows. SOCOM's online leaderboard for May is a little busy during the past few days even if the PSN is still offline.Could this be dev accounts? Playtesters? Or a sign that the PSN will go back on soon? Maybe a server glitch or whatever. Thanks to someone who started a thread about this on SOCOM 4 forums that got me interested - bayport kudos! :)

Here is a guide that I just made on how to access the SOCOM4 leaderboard without logging in:

SOCOM 4 Leaderboard for May

You can check the leaderboard without logging in by simply copy and pasting this URL in to your web browser and replace the insert_name_here to any of those names listed on that photo above or even yours (if you were able to log in before PSN was taken offline).

URL:
http://www.socom.com/en-us/SOCOM4/Leaderboards?handle=insert_name_here

Once you are looking at someone's stats, look for leaderboards in between co-op and compare stats tab.

The tab

So, you now have an access to the leaderboards without having to log-in. You can change the time range to see who is playing during this week or this month. You can check their stats too and look at when they started playing. I hope this helps :)

Update (1): Dunham tweeted :
"We have some internal tools available to us this week. Since I'm out, though, I can't elaborate"


He is currently on vacation. When he gets back, I think more questions will be answered :)
