It is a beta test not an early preview of the finished game, you have to live with that. This is a *test* version designed for playtesting of the game engine and online. It's inevitable that there will be problems. I'd rather they happen with this beta, than with the final game.

It's "hear, hear".

I tried playing the beta. Laggiest game ever...even the menus.

Then, I got trapped in the architecture and couldn't move or do anything even after someone killed me. I had to force my PS3 to shut down in order to quit.

Not the best first impression. :D

Note: I'm not complaining; it was disappointing but funny. I get that it's a beta.

Haven't played the beta, but I don't think I'll need to. Uncharted 1 and 2 are enough to get me back for the third. My prediction: Awesomeness

Contacting for code now!!!

If past experiences are anything to go by, Naughty Dog can do no wrong. Uncharted 1 is still amazing and it came out in PS3's first year!!!

Main reason I want this game is for the single player campaign. It's nice to know that single player lovers are still being catered to. Multiplayer is fun, but a great story is what makes a game a classic.

Would anyone go back and play Black Ops 2 years from now once more CoDs have dropped? What about WoW in 8 years once servers have shut down? I think a game's longevity is carried by the strength and replayability of it's single player. Just look at Dead Space or any RPG.

This beta is terrible. It's unplayable for me at this point. Like the first comment, I can't get into a game that doesn't lag, freeze or kick me.

EDIT: Something about the graphics don't look right either. Looks unpolished but I assume they will fix that before the final game releases in November.

I played it last night and didn't really encounter any lag when I was able to join a co-op party. Connecting to the lobby though is the problem. It took me several attempts. Christophe Balestra tweeted about it earlier, saying they're aware of such problems and are of course working on it.

The errors are very annoying, but it's still worth it once you're able to get past that. :)

i like the gameplay, when it works. i have only finished 2 games so far out of like 10. The main menu is a little bit clunky and i miss the high quality menus of Uncharted 2's multiplayer. Overall- a crappy beta because its pretty much unplayable, but for the part i did play it was fun as hell. Also i hate the new menu's and i need more clothes and stuff to customize my character.

The main screen doesn't really look that polished. But I'm not bothered as this is just a beta. I'm sure that it will be much better in the final game.

I think the main point of the beta is to allow everybody to find the bugs in the actual gameplay and provide (constructive) feedback that would allow Naughty Dog to come up with a game deserving of the Uncharted name. :)

Yea the menus are ugly. I'm sure they will change those though. One thing I noticed they changed was that took away the option to swap the L2 and R2 functions. I like having my grenade button on R2 and reload L2. I hope they retain that option in the final game.

I can connect to PSN, but I've manage to start the game and try entering a match twice. So far, it runs at about 5 frames per second and then I get kicked - apparently for killing team mates, although since I've yet to fire a gun I'm not sure how.

I can't help wondering whether this was ready for Beta.

I'm worried that this isn't some kind of double bluff by ND and that U3 is actually this bad - at this time. I know that they have 3+ months, but if this is the current code base for the game, they have a lot of work yet to do.

Hmmm it is pretty rough. Real laggy and I've had it lock up my Ps3 twice within like 10 min of play time.
Also, I hope graphics see some more polish time.

Three times I tried, three times it died, adn three times I got kicked from the game before firing a single round, yes I get kicked for killing team mates. Never mind the fact that the game locks if you try to leave multi-player, or the incredible lag. It's unplayable. I've seen Alphas work better than this.

As excited as I am for Uncharted 3, this leaves me with an overwhelming case of the "wake me when it works" blues.

So I loved UC2 and I loved the co-op, but the actual MP wasn't real addictive for me at all and this looks about the same. I'm downloading this right now, but seems everyones having problems already. That sucks.

And I hope the graphics don't suck in the actual games because I hear the complaints and thats isn't good news at all.

I'm not experiencing any of this issues it seems a lot of others are. But I did notice ONE time where I was being shot at and I ran behind a wall only to finally start taking damage after being hidden, of course from lag. But that's all. So I have to say those worried about it shouldn't be. I can't be the only person with such luck.

But I will say it feels too heavy for a TPS. It is very much realistic to have that weight, but when climbing around I almost feel to weighted. But that's just a preference thing. Otherwise the gameplay is solid, the guns look and sound great, everything is done very well. The menu is fantastic in my opinion and the customization both for character, weapons and loadouts looks like it will be extremely deep! Can't wait For everything to be ironed out and the final version to release.

I don't think I need to remind everyone this is only a beta! ;)

Gotta agree with this. I spent an hour on the download and then tried to make it work for an hour, and gave up. I can only hope that the lag is killing the thing, because if the way it's working is a sample of things to come we have problems. I gave it another hour before trying again, same result lag to the max, framerate through the floor, locked up, stuck, can't get back to the XMB. No offense, but I don't care if it's a beta or not, you don't release even a test version that can't reliably exit.

That's all I have been able to see of the game so far - lag. If you're going to blast someone for stating their opinion of that, there are plenty of my posts above for you to fire away at. Whether you agree with his posts all the time or not, Mr Anon is quite correct about the experience with this beta. This is not a great way to start the beta for the online element of what was anticipated to be the GOTY.

This is why I hate betas. Everyone expects them to be so far along that they should just be able to enjoy them! Well a beta is a beta for a reason. Feedback! This isn't a demo, which you know! You should tell those things to ND rather than comPlain about them in a comments section! Go tell ND your concerned with their game and the current state it's in. Which I should remind you I'm not having the same issues you are. Ive logged in and been able to enjoy it.

Complaining does nothing for it, and this is ND we are talking about not treyarch or IW. These guys listen to their consumers and Strive to bring the best possible experience. They have 4 months too iron things out, I guarantee the game will be sitting pretty when it's release comes. Don't take the beta for granted, it's there for more than us to get a sampling but for ND to polish it after seeing feedback and gameplays.

BigRaier,

I'm not taking the beta for granted, but I also know that a beta is supposed to be essentially functional. For me and a lot of others, that hasn't been the experience. I'm perfectly happy to agree with the contention that the issue is lag related and that it will be sorted out. Fine, but as of right now, I have no feedback for ND other than I can give no feedback because it hasn't worked. It's only natural that people will state their opinions in the comments of this article.

The thing is I strongly agree with what you say about people expecting too much from a beta. But I also know that for a lot of people this hasn't yet functions as a beta should. Beta software is in general fundamentally functional, but rough at the edges. You're generally not testing the core functionality at the beta stage because that has already been tested in alpha testing. A public beta should be even further along than that because you're testing things like how the game runs in a much wider range of circumstances and testing the server loads and network performance of the online engine. But, you can't expect perfection or a retail experience or trouble free play. However at the same time you also don't expect an inability to exit the game, total locking, or a complete lack of function due to network lag. There are two sides to this, and both are correct.

try the co-op for some reason its allot cleaner!
i cant play any competitive MP, its so laggy!
tried the co-op tonight and it was working fairly well, then switched to the competitive and had to turn it off.
when you see someone, put 30 bullets into them, they turn around, shoot you once, then they die, then you run into a building, and then die and get the kill cam pointing to a dead body, you know your in trouble!
took all that time to realize i had been killed!
other times enemies have been climbing up ladders, they get to the top, run across, jump down, then drop dead and i finally get the points.
wish sony would stop being so god dam tight a$$ed and give us our god dam dedicated servers!
come on, if the worlds smallest publishers THQ could foot the bill for homefront, then surely the worlds largest company can!

When the Beta works its fun. Unfortunately it froze on me 3 times, and 1 other time the game became unplayable because it was literally running at 5 frames per second. Off to a very rocky start to say the least. Hopefully it gets addressed soon.

This is feedback and it's obvious nobody wants to give feedback but rather complain about something that is 4 months from release.

With all due respect, but do you know what "beta" implies? What it means?
It's not just some random sample of partial code at an early stage of development - it's the final stretch, a real life stress test of the code, the final tweaks before a "release candidate", something that probably more or less means "release version" now in this day and age of patching being such a simple affair.

But to show off code that is *not working* three months before a scheduled release is... Well, if this had been one of my personal game favourites then I'd be worried right about now.
I do however feel sorry for Naughty Dog. This is likely *not* what they expected, or they'd never release this.

It doesn't matter if it's the final stretch or not. You are treating it as a demo when it simply isn't. This beta came out 4 months before release for a reason. It isn't the so called KZ3 "beta" that came out weeks before release.

Why feel bad for ND they don't need your pity. They are some of the best developers out there.

Regardless if this is how we are going to treat betas, developers are better off doing the private betas, rather than releasing it to everyone. They all seem to get more backlash than feedback. I mean how productive is it for them to get criticism, more than constructive feedback? I would say not very, but in the least it is some sort of feedback I suppose.

Big Railer, this is a *public* beta. Not a closed beta. The game has already been through extensive testing and QA within ND and their closed test programs. If you are going to release a public beta and make a lot of noise about it, you **have** to make sure the core functionality works at least well enough for the thing to be playable. As Beamboom (and many others) has stated it's unplayable as is. That's not acceptable in a public beta.

That's fine, I guess I look at it differently. If there's a problem I'm glad it's now instead of in the retail version, which again is the point of this beta. Thats the way I look at it and that's how I feel betas should be treated all the time. This isn't some sort of exception I'm giving to ND. This goes for all betas and I've said it before in previous betas for other games. They are treated as demos or sneak peeks now days, especially when brought to public. But that's the best way to reach everyone and get the most feedback so...

Yeah I remember you saying so for other betas too, I do not suspect you of being a ND fanboy (not that there's anything wrong in that) :)

But this is not just something they do "to be kind" to the gamers, as a kind of gesture.
The public beta is a core stage in the development of any networked client/server software, the developer *need* to test the software in a realistic environment prior to launch.
You give them the feedback by actually playing it, that's how you help them, not by posting in their forums. Only... In this case it can't be played.

I tried playing the beta last night and I couldn't do anything when I entered a match. As Highlander said, "it runs at about 5 frames per second". The first game, I was booted for killing a teammate and then the next two games it froze.

I was looking forward to playing the beta but just let me know when it is working.

Well, LiamDaniels told me last night that the Uncharted 2 beta was just as bad upon release and we all know how the final game turned out. So I'm not worried in the least bit.

Well, I honestly don't remember either the beta or the final release of UC2 being like this at any point.

Patch 1.01 was released, it is aimed at fixing the framreate drop that leads to freezing. Let me know how it works when you get a chance.

I got the patch installed and I never had framerate issues since.

And wow, double post again. Let me just use this space to let you know that the beta seems to be working perfectly fine for me. I find it really odd that I am not experiencing half of the problems that you guys are.

I downloaded the beta as soon as it became available in the Asian PSN store. Yes, I did encounter difficulties connecting to the UC3 Beta servers then and even had my PS3 restart twice. But once I'm able to connect, it seems fine.

On the first day, I also noticed the noticeable framerate drops. But that didn't happen anymore after downloading the update. Again, establishing a connection to the UC3 servers was a bit of a problem, but once I'm in, it was actually solid.

I even did a test. I uninstalled the beta I got from the Asian PSN Store and replaced it with the one from the US PSN Store. The same connection issues (to the UC3 servers) happened at first, but I managed to get in after a few attempts. Excelsior1 even saw me playing the Beta just a few minutes ago. I played a couple of co-op games and I never had framerate nor connection issues.

Anyway, the beta is working mighty fine for me. It's weird to see how much of a problem the others are having when I could play it just fine. I do not even have the fastest internet connection out there.

If Naughty Dog could sort out the initial connection issues to their servers then the beta would be near flawless, at least to me.

Zettai-

I wasn't experiencing those issues either. Which leaves me with no explanation at all to why this was happening. I was able to join games, play and enjoy it. But either way it's a beta, and I'm sure we will see many more patches to come. After all that's why it's up, so they can work these things out.

I also heard they found a matchmaking issue that will be addressed as well.

The patched fixed the issues for me. You should give it another go when you get a chance Highlander.

Just to get myself out of the firing line (Jee thanks Jawk, I'll repay you someday XD), I meant it being the same as UC2 as in the mass amount of problems. Don't you guys remember not being able to get into a game for atleast an hour? Plus I said that before I actually played it; and I only played it after 1.01. Okay thats sorted, and I think I came out unscathed, lol.

I played it for 20 minutes, and it looks good. I didn't have any problem, I started playing it when it had been updated already. No freezes, no connection problems, no lag, it was just like playing Uncharted 2 multiplayer. There are , of course , some graphical issues, but there are like 4 months to fix them. Looks cool, can't wait to get the final product!

I might jump in just to try this out(don't even have U2 yet & been stuck in the upstream rafting on U1)).

Plus, I've never played any MP games except for K3.....

so if spotted, please don't go all sadist on me by over-killing the n00b!!!!

Hey BikerSaint, if ever you want to try playing co-op, let me know. I tend to play more of that than anything. And I won't try to kill you if you ever accidentally snuff me out. LOL

ZettaiSeigi,

OK, I've never played co-op before, but I'm willing to give it a try & you can walk me through the game's hook-up.

Just send me a friend request, my name's the same as above(BTW, just remind me you're from PSXE),
