Uncharted: Among Thieves release date, box-art and pre-order incentives announced
- Thread starter deepbrown
- Start date
Sigh, preorder bonuses. I hate pre-ordering, especially since these games can be gotten cheaper if you wait for sales a week or two after the game. I really don't care for golden gun skins, but the fact that they're giving an advantage to players who pre-order in multiplayer has me kind of annoyed.

I was hoping for October 1st release date, but this is not bad either. Can someone (Arne) explain if the treasure map bonus will be available upon completion of the game as an unlockable?
Box art looks similar in style to the first one. I don't know what people were expecting. At least this time a weapon is not as prominently featured on a cover.

I don't think it says that at all.
What Naughty Dog should be doing is bringing the classic Indiana Jones movie art feel to these covers.
The first box cover fails because you can't even see who the hell Drake is and can't relate to him at first sight. the second box art fails...just in general. Everyone and their fucking mother compares this franchise to Indy Jones, Naughty Dog should USE THAT.

That's my favorite box art of all time right there . . .

It's too bad there's no LE for the game. Sony in general always had something about limited editions which I always thought was dumb.
I can't complain much as I got my grubby hands on press kit for U1, which was simply awesome, but it would be that much better if this was freely available:

Pre-order complaints baffle me at times. They are usually things you can get in game that you will be getting anyway for a bit of gametime, OSTs/Artbooks/Etc (I wonder if they have done studies to prove which method is more effective...), or shit that takes up space. You don't have to pre-order the game to begin with and it's just companies working hard to get people to buy their game. In a place like Sales-Age, how is this a bad thing?

Is this playable on Xbox 360? I'm looking at the boxart, and I don't see any clear indication of what platform or online service this game is for.

I'm going to take a guess and say the revenge booster is something where you can see where the guy who last killed you is from anywhere on the map either with a large arrow or by seeing through the walls.

Because people need something to bitch about, like that jackass on the first page. If you dont like preorder bonuses, you dont have to fucking preorder, its clear as day. We get it, why dont you complain about something more important instead of some fucking skins for weapons. Preorders are setup to help better the relationship with the retailer, to help guarantee sales.
PS, this was not aimed at you Kintaro, im just sick of hearing this same shit. The same with collectors edition complainers.

I have no problem with preorder bonuses in general. They can put in all the skins, golden guns, and treasure videos they want. I do have a problem when they extend it to MP advantage or exclusive levels like the R&C moon (that may or may not be available through normal gameplay, for free, or within a reasonable amount of time).
*Edit* Basically every item TheFallen just listed.
But it isn't stuff that you can get on your own sometimes...Kintaro said:
Wolverine had the Weapon X arena that only became available 1-2 months after the game's release for $10.
Batman: Arkham Asylum will have an extra map that won't be available at release.
Infamous has gigawatt blades that are still not available.
R&C will have an extra level.
Assassin's Creed 2 will have a new area to play around with...

So a generic guy holding 2 guns screams at you ''HOLY SHIT TELL ME MORE'' and a dude hanging from a cliff doesn't?

Very nice choice of colors for the box art.
Day 1 of course.

You know what let's me also choose a store because of their incentive? PRICE! *gasp* HOLY SHIT AMAZING I KNOW! (Too bad we never will get discounts at launch because man... $60 day-one has made me stop buying disc-based games NEW now).
What the fuck is wrong with offering an art-book for everyone? At least that makes me pre-order. Special bonus powers that actually don't do too much of anything doesn't.
Edit: I like the box-art. Man, I don't get GAF hate sometimes.
