Just do a separate story based co-op like Valve did with Portal 2

I can see co-op implemented. Like a poster above said, make it a separate campaign a la Splinter Cell/Portal 2.
Ugh.
I'd rather they didn't go down the co-op route. I'm not a fan of online gaming. If you are, great news, but for people who just like to sit and play at their own pace it's frustrating because normally the single player experience is compromised. (Resident Evil 5 is a good example).
If Naughty Dog can pull it off without sacrificing the the single player experience, well good. I hope the multiplayer fans enjoy it, but other then that, do not want.

Not to sound fanboy-ish/whiny, but all this talk of online gaming in Uncharted is getting on my tits. I don't care about any of that and never did. I care about Elena, Sully and Nate. So give me some damn story info, ND. I though the single player experience is what Uncharted was all about.
It... just makes me nervous for some reason. I have faith in Naughty Dog.

I agree with you. I think the only reason that they're not going too much into details on the single player is because they want to keep the set pieces under wraps so people are blown away at launch. They've proven they can do a good job with single player and multiplayer with Uncharted 2 so they're showing off the new MP features since most people can be confident in the quality of the single player.Trick_GSF said:
Yeah, I really do believe they've got the SP portion covered and I'm actually glad we're getting more MP news. They started off great with the MP and kind of faltered along the way, so it's nice to know where they are headed along that route. Additionally, this allows us to see new U3 footage without spoiling the story all that much. You can show off the mechanics without revealing all the setpieces and whatnot.
Besides, I think we'll be getting a nice live presentation of the SP at E3.

easy way to do it is to make co-op sp campaign as an unlockable after you beat the game once. and since Uncharted is divided into chapters, just make co-op available on chapters where Drake is with npc shooting bad guys, letting 2nd player control whoever is with Drake at the moment. or just don't care about continuity or whatever and just let a 2nd Drake appear and disappear during shootout or set pieces. we already play the single player alone and experience it the way it's meant to be played. now they can go crazy with the 2nd or 3rd playthrough. no difference with how we can change skin in previous games.
and to make it simple, have it available as offline splitscreen only, you just go to pause menu to enable or disable it. no need for 2nd player psn login or whatever. anything other than that, ND will have to setup lobbies, matchmaking, etc just for what I consider an extra/unlockable. I'm sure we'll still get stand alone co-op mode just like in Uncharted 2. co-op for sp mode is just a bonus mode.

KZ2's maps and framerate don't suck either.
Is the same MP team from UC2 working on UC3?

The initial reveal, burning chateau gameplay demonstration and then the villain reveal around GDC were single player focused. There's still another 6 months before it releases, if anything I hope they hold back with how much they reveal of the SP.

You win! I like this idea very much. Co-op is a perfect unlockable for this game and it will be definitely feel so rewarding to do so! It would be tons of fun to have all the options available to purchase like low gravity and unlimited ammo, etc while being able to play with a friend co-op. You essentially get enjoy game the properly first, then enjoy it another way. That just adds replay value to the game. If this game has a incredible moments, great gameplay, and a good story, I could see myself replaying this about 4-5 times.
If it's not to late to add this in, this would be fantastic to do.

Same fucking team, same fucking MP director (well he's game director now).
MalboroRed said:
The problem is this: The team is like Two-Face. We've got the 1.04 side and then we've got the 1.05 side. One side had their shit in order, while the other had no idea what in the hell they were doing. I can't tell which side we are getting back this time until I get my hands on the game in June.

Why can't they just have a weekly list, monthly, and all-time?
It can't be that hard to implement.

This needs to happen because there are people who don't even pick up the pluder or go for the objectives.alr1ghtstart said:

Not as deep as he thinks
I don't know how I'd feel about resetting the leaderboards every week.
For instance, it could be a good thing in the sense that those who care about it in the long run aren't going to try as much since it'll reset anyway, but then it can create a new breed of players who want to reach the top of the weekly leadeboards just to have a week of fame, completely ruining objective playlists. That same thing can apply to long term leaderboards too.
I for one would love leaderboards for objective playlists instead. I enjoy comparing kills/wins stats as much as the next guy, but I would really love more encouragement to play as a team and accomplish objectives instead of aiming for kills to get a better placement. There should be leaderboards for every playlist there is and stats should only remain in those playlists. These specific leaderboards for objectives should focus on getting the most captures (for Plunder) that way it'll encourage people to get the treasure and capture it. Stuff like that. Kills you get in Plunder should NOT be put into account in a deathmatch leaderboard and should also not be rewarded as much in terms of cash.
The way they have it in UC2 was a mess because people just farm for kills in Plunder, which is bullshit.

Omg, definitely reset or don't track at all. I want people playing for the team in the match not for some stupid leaderboard. Who looks up people's stats anyway?

Finally, split screen again! Lack of this is my most hated part of this generation.

As long as ND can maintain the same level of quality across single and multiplayer, I would love to see a 2 player co-op side story.

This weeks GTTV is supposed to be about industry predictions. Although the preview did promise new Alice footage.
We know that we're supposed get Uncharted PSP2 info next Thursday, so i'm think that this will be part of that.
