Co-op or adversarial multiplayer would make the game much more attractive.

It'll definitely be Pirates vs. Mercs if any... don't want no cameos by characters from single-player for that's one reason why Metal Gear Online sucks hard...

Why does everyone think co-op has to be built into the story? Just make it like Halo and let a second player play, keep the cutscenes the same, whatever. It's not like the puzzles and platforming were so involved in the first that they couldn't build two routes or some other way to let two people traverse a ledge. Hell, you had an AI partner half the time in the first one anyway. Co-op (optional) makes almost anything better!
I'd have no problem with competitive multiplayer either, the shooting and ducking and running is fun as it is and with cool levels it would just add another layer of awesome to the whole package.

I find the idea of the actual multiplayer to be much more interesting than the co-op. I always thought that Uncharted could make for some interesting multiplayer matches given that it's based around platforming and climbing stuff. So it'd be very different from most stuff out there if they do it right.
To be honest the only part I don't like is that, inevitably, Uncharted 2's trophies will be split between the different gaming modes. I really liked the trophy hunting in Uncharted and it would be great if they kept the trophies confined solely to single-player, but that's probably not going to happen.

But even if the campaign had weaknesses you wouldnt notice because of the awesomeness co-op brings. It makes everything BETTER
edit: oh wait it's seperate? oooooooooohhhh

Yes, yes, co-op. The only kind of multiplayer I see working for Uncharted.
RE5 co-op is one of the best gaming experiences I had this gen, so yes please!

Egg-fucking-xactly.
Resistance 2 suffered so much from adding the co-op in there, because it needed to be completed, and because it was a selling point, the single-player got butt-fucked into oblivion.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was an absolutely beautifully done game, which over 2 million people bought without having a multi-player component. Why would you add multi-player now?
There seems to be a a significant portion of us who are dead against MP in U2. I have no doubt that if it were included it wouldn't be at the cost of anything else (crazy as that logic is). I also think that if it were included I'd want it to be a little different. I'm no game designer so I have no idea what I mean but... I'd want it to be... different.
With that said...
In other news I doubt U2 will have MP; instead it'll be a superb SP experience. Take my money ND.

Fuck yeah. A multiplayer mode that no one will give a shit about weeks after release. How exciting.

They're connected to GameTrailers. And you can see all the exclusives GTTV manages to get their hands on.

Well games are fun with more than one person but it stinks that Co-op wouldn't be story mode. I just am tired of playing story games by myself since another player can help me out beat the game quicker. Co-op = faster gameplay = more time to play other games.
Besides, if there is a split screen mode; the gf/so/roomate can join in the fun.

Sorry, now you have me concerned. Making it separate makes doesn't make it better.
Just make a single player experience and double it up for co-op like Halo or Resistance 1 did. Now I'm hearing they are devoting more resources to try to make an detached co-op mode. Just like Resistance 2?
All resources gets devoted to single player and co-op is no fuss no muss if it's the former instead of the later.

But they won't have hired enough for a whole new multiplayer team - some people are going to be shared across both and are going to have their focus spread across two totally seperate areas of the game. Some who worked on the first are going to now be working on the multiplayer parts only.
The single player portion won't be terrible because of this or anything. But the multiplayer portion will take some focus off of the single player and hold it back more than otherwise. Some stuff will be cut, some things scaled down, etc etc. That sucks - it's Uncharted's whole draw.

Neither of those games are story driven like Uncharted. You can't just drop in "faceless character number 2" and have it work.

A good chunk of the time Uncharted you had another character with you. Just stream line it and make another character be with you all the time when you are co-op. It shouldn't take master literature writing to redefine and accomplish something for the sake of gameplay and story.

I don't necessarily think I'm dead against MP in any good game. What worries me about games like Uncharted 2 and Bioshock 2 is the fact that the first games were so good as a singleplayer experience that there's the inevitable fear of a compromised or uninspired followup. Despite the pedigree of the crew making the game the question arises as to whether they added this stuff because all games seem to get docked in the reviews for not having co-op or some type of fragfest online play these days.
Now yes, I know naughty Dog is a great studio (same with the 2K team making bioshock 2) but I do feel my eyebrows raise a bit because of some other quality developers like Bungie and Insomniac seeming to overextend a product to add in more bulletpoint features and compromising other parts in the process.
I have faith that the end result will be good, but there's always the possibility of something not coming up as intended when you start adding more and more new features, especially if those features aren't really what the fanbase of the franchise view as the most important aspects.
