By selling playable characters one by one? Base game would include 1 or 2 free ones to get you started. Obviously it's too late for this game, but perhaps someone will try something like that one day.

So bad.
Bonus:
You sure about this? Pretty sure the version I played looked like the one on the left.
This is what I'm curious about. Mine was the one on the right for sure. Though I don't remember hearing anything about gimped copies.
*Nope. The example on the right is exactly how it is.

Is it the same like the Killzone 2 MP part which was free for download? I ask because you could only level up to a specific level. If you wanted to level up more you had to buy/unlock the MP part.
Guess not. Just free to play for a short amount of time and then probably a "thanks for playing. Buy now." message at the end of the time.

The problem with that is, how do I know which characters I want to buy if I've never played as them?
But that gives me an idea:
Every week, four characters are selected at random to be playable for everyone. Or... maybe the four random characters are different for everyone, so you don't wind up just fighting the same four characters over and over again every week. If you find that you like a character, then you can pay to unlock him permanently.
That way you get to try out all the characters, but you still have a reason to buy them. Plus it gives players a reason to keep coming back every week.
Maybe charge like $5 per character, with costumes at $2 each. But also provide the option to just pay $60 to unlock everything that you'd get on the disc if you just bought the game, so all 20 original characters plus their first costume. And any of that content you buy individually will go towards that $60. If you buy 2 characters, then you'd only have to pay $50 to unlock the other 18. If you buy 12 characters, then you don't have to pay anything extra to unlock the other 8.
Of course that $60 wouldn't include Kat and Emmett, or any other future DLC characters.
And I don't think it's too late for PS All-Stars. I mean this is a thread about Uncharted 3 going f2p.
So bad.
Bonus:
how does that happen?

Haha yes.
Uncharted 2 beta > Uncharted 2 final >>>>>>>>> Uncharted 3 MP.
UC3 MP was awful in every way possible. I hated it.
Not sure it did.
Mine sure didn't look that shitty.
The MP player shot is true however, the character models are better than most other MP's, but far worse than UC2.

Nope, the one on the right is straight from the final game. It's terrible.
That's how it rolls for me in GAF.
Thanks! I have been playing this for quite a while even if I'm pretty bad at it, but it's pretty disheartening to see jacked up people and not knowing how the hell they got these guns. I'm not sure how much I'll spend on this, but at least now I know.
And yes, the UC3 models did look a bit weird compared to UC2 ones, seeing them side to side though, geez.
It was never free. It was basically a demo.
New patch later tonight in preparation of the relaunch tomorrow. They're doing a full leaderboard reset.

I didn't even know there was a leaderboard...
That scene in the final game takes place in a completely different time of the day and it's just simply different lighting. And it's a friggin' prerendered cutscene anyway. Fools keep posting that picture.
lol at these people taking 4 years to figure out the objective medals in UC2 and UC3 are fucking garbage. I don't know how I feel about them removing all the killing-related medals. I mean...it's a shooter, and shooting is important even in objective modes.
I think the money increases should be even bigger.Pre-1.05 U2 MP was one of the best gaming experiences I'll probably ever have. Of course, playing with the awesome PS3 GAF made everything a million times better. One of my favorite things that we did in the beta was to allow the opposing team to go 40-0 on us for the first half of the match and then still come back to win it with a score of like 43-50. I also found it funny how other teams would always try and rush the power weapons and we would still annihilate them with our starting pistols.
I really hope that TLoU's MP is more reliant on map awareness and cat & mouse gameplay like U2 was.

Oh, Irish you know it won't. Those days of beta-1.04 Uncharted "IT'S GOLD, NAUGHTY DOG, GOLD!" 2 multiplayer is long-gone. All hail our not listening to fans and fucking up shit that didn't need to be fucked up to chase the Call of Duty dollar multiplayer lords.
UC3 summer beta was as close as it got. And then... Yeah. Naughty Dog's collective boneheaded decisions regarding multiplayer has really made me question their quality as designers.
agreed. Played that a shit load, but I either got burned out by the time the actual game came out or it just wasn't as good. Didn't try 3's mp, as I don't like mp at 30 fps.

Bring back summer UC3 beta systems, and they'd have a game worth playing for free.

The newest MOTD after the 1.17 patch confirms the F2P version.
There will also be a download version of Uncharted 3 GOTY to be available as well.
Link to MOTD, long image
Neither is available in the PlayStation Store yet.

i think levels will be capped
you wont go beyond level 15 for example if you dont pay to unlock the level cap
(i suppose that's how it'll work)

The lighting only accounts for some of it, her face is very different in detail. They dropped a ton of stuff in the final version.
....and like you said, it's a pre-rendered cutscene, so who knows what the hell the is going on for that to happen.
It's nothing major, it's a just a strange thing to happen.

The fact that the betas of both uncharted games were SIGNIFICANTLY better than the end product should tell ND to listen to their own employees rather than "the gamer".
So bad.
Bonus:
I say God damn every time i see this. Why? What? How? How didn't i notice during the game. Just wow.
Nah, they improved a fair deal of things from the beta of U2 to the final product. Of course, I'm not sure who they were listening to when they decided to completely unbalance the product 4 months after release.
And do things that people said were fine in their own playlist leaving the rest of us that liked how the game played with 90% of the playlists.
Why, 1.05, why? Good lord, why? After 1.05 hit NO ONE came out of the maps starting spawn in U2. How the fuck was that a good idea?

Yeah, my bad. That was more in the lines of UC3.
Headless chicken sprinting *cringe*
While in the beta sprinting was balanced so it was actually a tactical move, with limited turning.
But yeah, I don't get why they change based on the complaints....
And then leave wallhack skills on too.

Is U2 still pretty active? I should pick that game up again.
If your code is in your account that you're playing on, no.
Otherwise, yes.
The code is a "service" thing that basically unlocked the multiplayer when this wasn't F2P. Now they're kinda removing that but putting a level cap on the free-no-online-pass players. You won't be affected by that with the online pass in your services list.
No it doesn't. If it's going free to play it's most likely free-to-play in other regions. Where the hell are you getting the free-to-play change is only for the US?
Thanks! Yeah, only reason why I asked is because I think I was still hit by the cap when the same thing happened with KZ3.
I could be wrong though.

Because it 's nothing special in the game
While I strongly disagree with the notion that "UC2 itself were leagues better than anything UC3" I do think UC2 had the better multiplayer.
