Uncharted 2 Update #3
Can the best get better, of course it can!Published 18/12/2009 at 15:56 by cc_star
Mascots Of Our Time [39]
Uncharted 2 Getting Title Update [30]
Uncharted 2’s Xmas Bonus [24]
Wow, the guys at Naughty Dog aren’t resting on their laurels, not satisfied with winning practically every single award going including the TSA Staff Game Of The Year and releasing free DLC, they’re also continuing to work on the unseen bits of the game in an effort to make it the absolute best it possibly can be. Today on the EU Blog, Naughty Dog’s Arne Mayer has announced that the third patch will land at 18:00 [GMT] today, the list of improvements contains:
- Added Version number to game menu – should display 1.03 after this update
- Added Clan Tags – all players can now add a custom four letter Clan Tag in the Profile Menu (square) to display on-screen before their PSN ID
- Load times have been decreased significantly
- Added “Rematch” functionality
- Adjusted some Boosters for balance
- Addressed issue with Player’s Met screen in game menu and XMB displaying incorrectly
- Addressed issue with Double Cash not doubling medal cash rewards
Despite the games awesomeness one of the criticisms levelled at it, is that it just takes to too long to get into a game but after this patch is installed players will notice that the game loads into a map much faster after leaving the vote screen. This will help get players into games faster and keep people playing instead of waiting in the menu system. Awesome work Naughty Dog, most developers would be sat in their ivory towers congratulating themselves with champagne and cigars at all the much deserved awards they’ve received, and not getting stuck into the code making the best even better!

Sweet! I love online UC, and I feel it’s underestimated, or perhaps overshadowed by Merry Weather 2. Either way it deserves more attention, and hopefully this is the thing to get it!

More people should be playing this online, it really is all kinds of awesome – hopefully this really will speed things up and then people can tear themselves away from abusing double 1887’s to give this a proper go
Either way the Co-op in this is one of the best things about the game, and the number of people who play it is shockingly low – Get on it people, its great

I would be playing it but I keep lending it to people to get them to play the single player. My Dad currently has it at the moment – hopefully I’ll get it back over christmas

Thats why I created a co-op meet for this sunday. Once it’s been accepted that is.

Good idea, UC2 co-op is lots of fun indeed! Unless people let their pets, tv’s and family talk along through the headset :p

I really need to get back into Uncharted 2 online. Haven’t played it since Haloween weekend! Has there been the clan feature for a while now or is this new?

So far I’ve only seen one clan in action, but never knew how to set the clan tag…

Does the decreased loading time only apply to multiplayer then?
