Got into a game but it's with a bunch of overexcited dutchmen
I haven't being being able to join a match but i got some feedback for Arne based on what i saw from the menu
+ Much much much better menu than Uncharted 2
+ Hell yes to allowing a second player to sign in
+ Yes to Facebook support (options are nice)
+ Yes to customization of characters, I know i was beging for this on the Playstation forums since the Uncharted 2 closed beta
-No leaderboards? There should be. I'm not talking about Records.
-Can you get rid of Uncharted TV? An option would be good
-Game needs an option for default left and right shoulders in the options menu. Metal Gear Online had this
-Unless i missed something why isn't there full customizable controls and mappable buttons? Again the option should be there for those that want it. I don't like the excuse 'other games don't have it'
-Give us a way to tell how many people are playing each Gamemode
-Get rid of those 'See person who killed you until they die' boosters. That crap is akin to Deathstreaks in MW2 but even worse!
My key message so far to ND is give us options! options! options!

Yep, same here. Played about 5 minutes in Hardcore Mode, then it really started to chug (like 5fps) and then a hard freeze.

Soooo yeah I don't think I'm going to be playing much of this on my 60GB BC PS3 until it's been stabilized.

Damn. I was afraid making the game 3D compatible would mean they had to lower to overall visual quality a bit. Is this those fears coming true? If so, I'm really disappointed. The 99.5% of PS3 players who don't own a 3DTV getting screwed over in favor of the .5% who do, not a good thing in my book.
Or maybe that's not it at all. But I really don't see how they could keep the visual quality from U2 while having to be able to render it in 3D. With true stereoscopic 3D, stuff has to be rendered twice (though not everything), so how could it possibly look as good? Or will the 3D mode simply look worse?

Same here (obviously) , the getting extremely low fps (which probably also causes the unresponsive sluggish controls).
Hard froze while playing.

I'm getting "error downloading config file" for my error message. Has anyone else gotten this one? Seems like I might be the only one.

Great start. They add all this crap to the game (for better or worse), and newcomers first impressions will be of freezes "finding player's..."
Couple seconds into my first game my ps3's air fans went on full blast and were loud as fuck. I thought the thing was about to blow up so I turned it off immediately. Maybe my ps3 needs to cool down for the moment but if it does that again I don't think im playing this beta. It literally scared the shit out of me.
We should be back in business any minute now.
For anybody who is curious, I had a chat with Christophe about what happened.
First, an issue in our code lead to a matchmaking server crash. He spent some time fixing that and then we commited the changes and put the matchmaking server back online. The whole time where you all were stuck trying to find a match was from an oversight on our end on how we setup the system to search for games. Basically, we've got a huge list of games we can place you into, and when you join matchmaking it searches for a list of viable games and places you into the first one that is open. What happened was that we were making everybody start the search at the top of the list of games - so the server was attempting to place a huge number of players into the same limited number of games since it was just starting at the top and going down sequentially. We updated that so the search start point is a bit more randomized. Then we rebooted the server again to commit that change.

Yeah, I'm done until they patch/fix this. Got in another game and same unplayable framerate.
I don't care for the Uncharted TV thing. I can't see myself ever using it, unless it takes forever to find a match in the retail version too. Hope there is an option to turn it off.
The best thing I can say about my experience is I made a sweet emblem.

Are you able to comment on why the framerate seems to be so dodgy at the moment? Thats my biggest gripe with it after the matchmaking (which seems to be much better now)

Thanks for the feedback, Arne. Finally got into a couple matches! Hardcore mode. It truly feels like an entirely different beast.

the worst beta i have participated in
First time playing an uncharted game, i'm doing pretty bad.
i've encountered some weird things, there was a time where it took like 30 seconds for me to respawn after it the count down finished, and another where my ps3 just froze
edit: nvm, doesnt seem like i'm the only one.

Got a beta code e-mailed to me today but my PS3 is at my parent's house. Will be the weekend at the earliest before I can back there to play it

Okay, I got into a regular TDM game. Framerate was a lot better, seemed solid to me.

You people are aware this is a multiplayer beta, of a game that's releasing in 5 months right?

The Skater said:Took nearly three hours to get to 90% now ugh. But from the sounds of it, I'm not missing much
It was silky smooth earlier. But like others have said, the framerate keeps dropping to below double digits for some reason. kind of tempted to just give up on it for tonight. D: Don't make me do it Naughty Dog D:
