<p>Here at Naughty Dog, we’re excited to bring these two critically acclaimed games together for the very first time.  As we focus on finishing up UNCHARTED 3, we look back and are humbled by the accolades we received for Drake’s Fortune, our first game in the series, and we never could have imagined that our second entry, Among Thieves, would go on to become the 2nd highest-rated video game of all time, receiving over 200 GOTY awards and over 41 perfect review scores. We want to thank all of you again for your continued support!</p>
<p>So for all you who are new to the PlayStation community, or for those of you who just haven’t yet had the opportunity to join Drake, Sully, Elena, and Chloe &#8211; this is your chance! Grab your Dual Pack next week &#8211; get tons of loot with the included “Super Voucher” – and prepare to uncover the truth in UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception on 11-1-11.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/6080200555/" title="Steel-SIdeshow U3: Collector's Edition Logos by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6185/6080200555_a1e4c9e57a_z.jpg" width="640" height="112" alt="Steel-SIdeshow U3: Collector's Edition Logos"></a></p>
<p>As you can see in the video, inside the traveling chest are full size, wearable replicas of Nathan Drake’s belt buckle and his necklace with Sir Francis Drake’s ring. The UNCHARTED 3 Blu-ray disk will come in a collectible Steelbook with exclusive artwork for the Collector’s Edition – the outside has a great render of Sir Francis Drake’s ring, with the inscription debossed into the case. The interior of the Steelbook has been printed with the artwork of Drake under fire in the desert as a panoramic view across both covers. This is Sony Computer Entertainment America’s first ever Steelbook edition, and we couldn’t be more excited that it’s being debuted with UNCHARTED 3. The piece de resistance is a high-quality statue of Nathan Drake that we worked on with our friends at Sideshow Collectibles. And just like the exclusive wearable replicas, and the Steelbook, you won’t be able to get this Sideshow Collectibles statue at retail, it’s only available with the UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception Collector’s Edition! Like Nolan mentioned, this edition is being made in a very limited quantity, so make sure to save yours by <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/games/uncharted_preorder/">pre-ordering now</a>. </p>
<p>It was awesome to see this in person this week – and if you want to check it out for yourself, the UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception Collector’s Edition will be on display at the PlayStation booth at PAX Prime 2011 THIS WEEKEND! Be sure to drop by.</p>

Moderated by USA Today’s Mike Snider, the panel was called “Developing Interactive Entertainment: The Performance Capture Techniques of the UNCHARTED Franchise and Today’s Film Industry” and it gave Amy Hennig, Taylor Kurosaki, Josh Scherr, Nolan North, Emily Rose and Richard McGonagle the perfect setting to discuss everything that goes into creating the industry-leading cinematics in the Uncharted series.

<p><a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/comic-con11/">This year’s Comic-Con</a> is a little special for us – we have a ton of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/uncharted-3-drakes-deception/">UNCHARTED</a> news to reveal, from a panel to many partnerships for all our fans asking for action figures, comic books, novels, statues, vinyls and more!</p>
<p><strong>UNCHARTED 3 at the PlayStation Booth – Booth #4237</strong><br />
Are you having withdrawal from the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta? Or did you never get a chance to jump online and get hands on with UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer?  Then head over to the PlayStation booth (#4237) where there are six stations running Three-Team Deathmatch for the ENTIRE run of Comic-Con 2011. If we’re feeling generous, we may give some folks a few shots at the Syria map of Co-op Adventure. Make sure to follow <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/naughty_dog">@Naughty_Dog</a> on Twitter to stay up to date on UNCHARTED 3 at the PlayStation Booth each day at SDCC.</p>
<p>You’ll also want to head to the booth as we’re giving away a limited number of <strong>SDCC 2011 EXCLUSIVE</strong> t-shirts each day. Each t-shirt will come with an SDCC 2011 exclusive PlayStation Store voucher code redeemable for either a Multiplayer character torso item or a mystery weapon skin. You’ll get one of these randomly if you’re lucky enough to grab a t-shirt. Come back the following day if you strike out.</p>

<p>These awesome shirts feature a design by Erick Scarecrow of ESC Toys – scroll down to get more info on our partnership with Erick Scarecrow and ESC Toys.</p>
<p><strong>UNCHARTED 3 Panel – Room 25ABC</strong><br />
<a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/08/03/highlights-from-the-uncharted-comic-con-panel/">Our panel at Comic-Con two years ago</a> for UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves was a unilateral success – you won’t want to miss the one we’ve got lined up for this year. On Friday, July 22, at 4:00 PM, we’ll be kicking off the UNCHARTED 3 panel in room 25ABC.  You’ll want to show up early to get a seat! The panel description is below.</p>
<p><strong>Developing Interactive Entertainment: The Performance Capture Techniques of the UNCHARTED Franchise and Today’s Film Industry</strong><br />
Join UNCHARTED 3’s Creative Director Amy Hennig, Cinematics team members Josh Scherr and Taylor Kurosaki, and cast members Nolan North, Richard McGonagle, and Emily Rose to discuss the influence of theatrical techniques and styles from the history of film that have helped the team continually produce industry-leading and award-winning interactive entertainment.</p>
<p class="center"><a title="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5955119208/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6122/5955119208_072bc23c53_m.jpg" alt="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC" width="240" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>We’re also giving away an exclusive blue variant of our SDCC 2011 t-shirt at the end of the panel. The UNCHARTED 3 panel is the ONLY place you can grab one of these t-shirts, so be sure to show up early to ensure you get into the room – capacity is limited to about 400 people according to the SDCC floorplan. Of course, each t-shirt will also come with either a Multiplayer character torso item that matches the shirt OR the corresponding mystery weapon skin.</p>
<p><strong>DC Comics – Booth #1915</strong><br />
What better place than Comic-Con to talk about a comic book that takes place in the UNCHARTED universe? That’s right, we’ve been working with DC Comics to develop a comic book series featuring Nathan Drake.</p>
<p>UNCHARTED #1 launches Nathan Drake on a journey to the center of the earth on a quest to see the legendary &#8220;Amber Room.” As enemies from Sir Francis Drake&#8217;s past come for revenge on his descendant, Drake must use all the skills at his disposal to stay one step ahead of the game. UNCHARTED #1 is written by Joshua Williamson (SUPERMAN/BATMAN), with fantastic art by Francesco Francavilla (DETECTIVE COMICS) and featuring covers by the legendary Adam Hughes. The comic series is scheduled to debut just in time for the release of UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception in stores. Stay tuned for more details soon!</p>
<p class="center"><a title="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5954563183/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6013/5954563183_26db30696a.jpg" alt="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC" width="325" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>It wouldn’t be Comic-Con if we couldn’t get you something exclusive from one of the artists working on the UNCHARTED comic book series – the one and only ADAM HUGHES will be signing a <strong>limited-edition UNCHARTED cover art poster</strong> on Friday and Sunday during SDCC 2011. The signings are first-come, first-serve and you can find Adam and his awesome UNCHARTED poster at the following locations and times:</p>
<p>Friday: AA4 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.<br />
Sunday: AA3 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.</p>
<p><strong>ESC Toys</strong><br />
Our partnership with ESC Toys has been a long, long time in the making. As of this week, the UNCHARTED Nathan Drake limited edition vinyl figure is finally available for pre-order! The 7&#8243; vinyl figure is a combination of vinyl and PVC materials along with minor articulation and is based on the stylized translation of Nathan Drake by Erick Scarecrow. There will be two colorways: the <a href="http://esctoy.limitedpressing.com/products/11715">OG &#8220;original&#8221; colorway</a> which is standard edition and the <a href="http://esctoy.limitedpressing.com/products/11716">&#8220;Naughty Dog&#8221; colorway</a> which is limited to 500pcs worldwide. The pot has been sweetened a little since each figure is packed with a PlayStation Store voucher code redeemable for exclusive UNCHARTED 3 downloadable content! All figures are scheduled to ship mid October 2011, if not earlier – You can follow <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ESCtoy">@ESCToy</a> on Twitter to stay up to date on the latest!</p>

<p><strong><br />
Mezco Toyz Nathan Drake Figure – Booth #3445</strong><br />
We’ve partnered with the award-winning Mezco Toyz to release a 6-inch scale figure of Nathan Drake based off of the iconic cover image from UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception.  We worked closely with Mezco’s Design Team to create a figure that goes beyond a simple likeness but embodies the very “essence” of Drake. From his AK-74, holster, and bandolier, to his ring necklace, everything is perfectly game-accurate. The figure also comes with a sturdy, textured “sand” base to complete the display.</p>
<p>The Mezco Toys Nathan  Drake Figure is scheduled to be available in the Fourth Quarter of 2011 – and will be available for purchase at <a href="http://mezcotoyz.com/">MezcoToyz.com</a> and finer retailers.</p>
<p class="center"><a title="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5955119424/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6147/5955119424_d79ccdc83f_m.jpg" alt="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC" width="160" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Random House / Del Rey &#8211; Booth # 1515</strong><br />
Announced nearly a year ago, the UNCHARTED team, Random House, and author Chris Golden have been working together to create an original novel set in the universe of the UNCHARTED games. The description of UNCHARTED: THE FOURTH LABYRINTH is below, along with a little info on author Chris Golden.</p>
<p>In UNCHARTED: THE FOURTH LABYRINTH, Nathan Drake will embark on an all-new, original, action-packed adventure.  When Nathan’s partner, Sully, asks for his help in finding a friend&#8217;s murderer, Nathan begins to unravel a mystery that will uncover some even bigger secrets. Sully&#8217;s friend was close to discovering an ancient process of turning lead into gold – a secret that a shadowy international corporation would do anything to steal, and now Nathan and Sully may be their next targets! This thrilling adventure will take Nathan from the ruins of Crete to a secret crypt deep in the heart of China&#8211;and into a mysterious labyrinth that may be hiding the greatest secret of all!</p>
<p class="center"><a title="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5955119320/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6134/5955119320_47191b4c69_m.jpg" alt="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC" width="160" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Christopher Golden is the award-winning, bestselling author of such novels as The Ferryman, Strangewood, The Gathering Dark, and The Body of Evidence series of teen thrillers.  Working with actress/writer/director Amber Benson, he co-created and co-wrote Ghosts of Albion, an animated supernatural drama for BBC online.  Golden has also written or co-written a great many books and comic books related to the TV series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel,” as well as the scripts for two Buffy video games.  His recent comic book work includes the creator-owned Nevermore and DC Comics’ Doctor Fate: The Curse. There are more than eight million copies of his books in print.</p>
<p><strong>Sideshow Collectibles</strong><br />
We’ve been working with Sideshow Collectibles on the pretty sweet Nathan Drake statue for the Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition box, but we’re not stopping there. We’re extremely proud to reveal that we’ve been working with Sideshow Collectibles on something special for our Uncharted community. With Comic-Con kicking off this week, you’ll start to hear more about that soon as well.</p>
<p><strong>Square Enix Play Arts -Kai- Action Figure – Booth #3829</strong><br />
The Square Enix Play Arts -Kai- action figures caught our eye last year as we were roaming around the SDCC exhibit hall. Just one year later, it’s awesome to come back to SDCC being able to reveal we are working with the team to create a high quality collectible Nathan Drake figure!</p>
<p>The release date hasn’t been set, but we’ve been able to work with our partners at Square Enix to give you this sneak peek at the figure, which features 21 points of articulation.</p>
<p class="center"><a title="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/5954562717/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6123/5954562717_5285006f74.jpg" alt="UNCHARTED 3 at SDCC" width="346" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Note: The figure is still under evaluation by SCEA, but you can come by the Square Enix booth (#3829) and view the Nathan Drake figure as <strong>IN PERSON</strong> as it makes its public debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2011!</p>

<p>We’re keeping the UNCHARTED 3 <a href="http://forums.naughtydog.com/t5/Multiplayer-Beta-Discussion/bd-p/U3-MP-Beta">Multiplayer Beta feedback forums</a> on <a href="http://naughtydog.com/">NaughtyDog.com</a> open over the weekend so you can post your closing thoughts. We’ll close the forums on Monday, reopen the <a href="http://forums.naughtydog.com/t5/Multiplayer/bd-p/u3-multiplayer">normal Multiplayer discussion forum</a>, and spend the next weeks poring over all your feedback to see what else we should look into. We’ve already made changes, fixes and tweaks during the Beta and before we put the finishing touches on UNCHARTED 3, we will make more tweaks entirely based on your collective feedback. Our multiplayer game design team thanks you!</p>
<p>If you still need your UNCHARTED 3 multiplayer fix and you’re headed to <a href="http://www.comic-con.org/cci/">San Diego Comic-Con</a> next week, you’re in luck! We are bringing a limited selection of the gametypes featured in the Beta to the PlayStation Booth located in the Exhibit Hall for all FIVE days! We’ve got an UNCHARTED 3 <a href="http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci11_prog_fri.php">panel on Friday</a> and a bunch of announcements to boot – we’ll have a proper blowout on all the news here on the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/">PlayStation.Blog</a> <strong>early next week.</strong></p>
<p>If you’re not headed to San Diego Comic-Con, you’ll be able to scratch that multiplayer itch again in just a few months! In October, you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to jump into the FULL UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer experience by visiting your participating SUBWAY restaurant before the Blu-ray copies hit retail on November 1st. Check back on the PlayStation.Blog for more details as we get closer to October – if you want to get a jump start with your Multiplayer career, you won’t want to miss this!</p>
<p>Of course, don’t forget to <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/02/uncharted-3-collector%E2%80%99s-edition-pre-order-details-for-north-america/">pre-order</a> if you haven’t already.</p>

<p>One last note about the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta Rewards – if you’re looking forward to getting your hard-earned rewards from hitting any or all of the requirements, PLEASE be sure to update your Account Settings to <strong>ALLOW “communications from PlayStation.”</strong> There’s a handy link on the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/accountsettings/">Account Settings page</a> on <a href="http://us.playstation.com/">PlayStation.com</a> to do this. Otherwise our pals at the PlayStation Network offices won’t be able to e-mail you and you won’t get your rewards!</p>
<p>You don’t want that to happen, do you?</p>
<p>I look forward to taking a few potshots at each and every one of you within the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer this October, if not sooner!</p>

We kicked off the week on Monday by <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/uncharted_3_multiplayer_beta_week_2/">updating the available gametypes</a> in the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta to provide more variety from the prior week.

Then, starting Tuesday, the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta was opened up for wide PSN access. The Beta is totally free and available from now until July 14th – there's no excuse not to hop in and play at least a few matches!

One day after the Beta went fully public, we passed one million unique players in the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta. Not only that, but the player count is growing with each passing day!

<p>Wow, this was a massive week for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/uncharted-3-drakes-deception/">UNCHARTED 3</a>! We kicked off the week on Monday by <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/uncharted_3_multiplayer_beta_week_2/">updating the available gametypes</a> in the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta to provide more variety from the prior week.</p>
<p>Then, starting Tuesday, the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta was opened up for wide PSN access. The Beta is totally free and available from now until July 14th – there&#8217;s no excuse not to hop in and play at least a few matches!</p>
<p>One day after the Beta went fully public, we passed one million unique players in the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta. Not only that, but the player count is growing with each passing day! We couldn’t be prouder of our community coming out in such numbers to play in the Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Beta. </p>
<p>Next week is the FINAL week in the Beta – we’ll be shutting down the servers on Thursday, July 14th – so be sure to get your fill of <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-ps3.html">UNCHARTED 3</a> before it goes away for a few months. This will also be your last week to hit the requirements to receive <a href="http://unchartedthegame.com/e3/beta.php?utm_source=sony&#038;utm_medium=beta&#038;utm_campaign=sony">the rewards we’re offering</a> that will be active for the retail version of UNCHARTED 3 &#8212; rewards such as UNCHARTED 3 PSN Beta Tester Avatar, Treasure Hunter&#8217;s Starter Pack, in-game cash on day one and more.</p>
<p>On Sunday, July 10th, we’ll be updating the available gametypes and maps in the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta according to the <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/uncharted_3_multiplayer_beta_details/">schedule we released</a>. We’ll be adding the never-before-seen Yemen map and it will be your first opportunity to play Co-op Adventure!</p>
<p>Don’t forget to visit the UNCHARTED 3 <a href="http://forums.naughtydog.com/t5/Multiplayer-Beta-Discussion/bd-p/U3-MP-Beta">Multiplayer Beta feedback forum</a> and leave us your thoughts on the Beta and any issues you may have encountered. We’re counting on you to help us make the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer experience the best it can be!</p>
<p>Plus, head to your local SUBWAY restaurant in October for an exclusive opportunity to get access to the FULL UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer experience BEFORE UNCHARTED 3 is released! We’ll give you full details here on the PlayStation.Blog closer to October.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the second week of the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/uncharted-3-drakes-deception/">UNCHARTED 3</a> Multiplayer Beta!
 
We’re exceptionally excited as today is the day the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-ps3.html">UNCHARTED 3</a> Multiplayer Beta goes public!  By the end of today, anyone and everyone with access to the PlayStation Store should be able to view and download the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta – no codes required!

You’ll notice Team Objective and Co-op Hunter as new additions for this week. I’ve been liking the Co-op Hunter gametype lately – the twist of adding in human players into what seems to be a Co-op mode is quite intriguing. You can catch some clips of Co-op Hunter in action in the video below, or on our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/sceablog?feature=mhee">YouTube channel</a>.]]></description>

<p><iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kZ7f-ekN4Cc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Along with the update to the available gametypes, we’ve updated the video playlist for UNCHARTED TV to add one awesome fan created video. We’re always on the lookout for great fan created content – if you’ve got something in the works, drop us a line on the <a href="http://forums.naughtydog.com/t5/Uncharted-3-Fan-Created-Content/bd-p/u3-ugc">UNCHARTED 3 Fan Created Content forum</a> on <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/">NaughtyDog.com</a>.</p>
<p>You’ll also want to check out yesterday’s IGN article as they <a href="http://ps3.ign.com/articles/118/1180460p1.html">caught up with Robert Cogburn</a>, our multiplayer game designer, to get a temperature check on the first week of the Beta – and what’s the deal with players leveling far beyond the level cap of 25 <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/28/uncharted-3-multiplayer-beta-details/">originally mentioned back when the Beta started</a>. Robert also revealed the astounding 600,000 unique players that participated in the first week of the Beta – we’re looking forward to seeing that number grow quite a bit now that the Beta is available as a public download!</p>
<p>If you didn’t catch <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/uncharted_3_beta_101_patch_notes/">the patch notes</a> last week and were wondering what was contained within the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta 1.01 patch, we’ve listed all of the updates below:</p>

<ul>

<li>Fixed issue where a crash would occur when backing out of multiplayer.</li>
<li>Fixed frequent slowing of framerate that could lead to the Beta freezing.</li>
<li>Fixed a crash involving Emblems.</li>
</ul>
<p>Don’t forget to leave your feedback on the Beta in the <a href="http://forums.naughtydog.com/t5/Multiplayer-Beta-Discussion/bd-p/U3-MP-Beta">UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta Discussion forum</a> – we want to hear your likes, your dislikes and any issues you have experienced.

<p><strong>When can I start playing?</strong><br />
<strong>Tuesday, June 28, for all <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/infamous-2/">inFAMOUS 2</a> and current <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-plus/">PlayStation Plus</a> members</strong>, who all get early access to the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/uncharted-3-drakes-deception-ps3.html">UNCHARTED 3</a> Multiplayer Beta.</p>
<p>If you’re not an owner of <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/infamous-2-ps3.html">inFAMOUS 2</a> or a current PlayStation Plus member, we’re opening the floodgates to the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta <strong>for EVERYONE on Tuesday, July 5</strong>. </p>
<p><strong>What time EXACTLY can I start playing?</strong><br />
When the PlayStation Store updates today. While we can’t guarantee an exact time the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta will likely start propagating on the PSN Stores around the world at around 2:00 PM PDT (<a href="http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20110628T14&#038;p1=137">what time is that in my city?</a>).</p>
<p>It may not be available right at that time, as there are a lot of things involved into making this happen, so please be patient if you don’t spot it immediately. <strong>Keep an eye out on the <a href="http://www.twitter.com/naughty_dog">Naughty Dog Twitter</a></strong> and we’ll update as soon as we know it’s gone live.</p>
<p><strong>When does the Beta end?</strong><br />
The UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta will <strong>end on Thursday, July 14</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What modes and maps are available?</strong><br />
Throughout the three weeks of the Beta, we’ll be<strong> rotating through a variety competitive and co-op gametypes, along with access to three different maps.</strong></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>June 28 to July 3</td>
<td><strong>Gametypes:</strong><br />
Team Deathmatch, Plunder, Three Team Deathmatch, Hardcore, Co-op Arena<br />
<strong>Maps:</strong><br />
Airstrip, Chateau</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>July 4 to July 9	</td>
<td><strong>Gametypes:</strong><br />

</tbody>
</table>
<p><strong>Wait, what’s the Hardcore gametype and why haven’t I heard about this yet?</strong><br />
We’re revealing a brand new competitive gametype with today’s update – one that has been specifically requested by many members in our community!</p>
<p>The <strong>Hardcore</strong> gametype is Team Deathmatch stripped down to the core basics – no Boosters, no Medal Kickbacks, and no Power Plays. Weapon Mods are still available – be sure to head to the <a href="http://forums.naughtydog.com/t5/Multiplayer-Beta-Discussion/bd-p/U3-MP-Beta">UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta discussion forum</a> and let us know what you think about how Weapon Mods feel within this gametype, along with anything else that you want to tell us!</p>
<p><strong>Can you tell me more about a specific gametype or map?</strong><br />
Since we revealed our first look at UNCHARTED 3 multiplayer back in April, we’ve put together a bunch of videos that provide a good sneak peek at the majority of what is included in the Multiplayer Beta. We’ve compiled those videos into a handy UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer YouTube playlist embedded below:</p>
<p><object width="640" height="513"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/632B81C36F89DD9A?hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/632B81C36F89DD9A?hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="513" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Can you tell me about any of the Boosters, Medal Kickbacks, and Weapon I can expect in the Beta?</strong><br />
Sure thing! Here goes…</p>
<table>

<tr>
<td><strong>Competitive Booster Slot 1</strong></td>

<td>Come Here</td>
<td>See the opponent that killed you within a specified distance until they die</td>

<p><strong>Will Power Plays be active? What weapons will I have? What characters can I choose to play with? Will I be able to customize them? And Emblems?</strong><br />
Power Plays are active, so if you’re in a match that is decidedly lopsided, you’ll get to experience it. As far as weapons, we’ve got a good range of sidearms and long guns to use and unlock in the beta, such as the AK-47, G-MAL, Para – 9, M9 and more! You’ll only get to choose between a few characters, but you’ll have access to a limited set of customization options to personalize your character on both the Heroes and Villains team. You can also check out our Emblem editor and create your own custom emblems.</p>
<p><strong>Can I play in Stereoscopic 3D and/or use split-screen?</strong><br />
<strong>YES!</strong> Yes, you can. But not at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>Can I see my Facebook Friends list?</strong><br />
Yes, all of your Facebook Friends that have linked their Facebook account via their PS3 will appear on the Facebook Friends list in our multiplayer menu. Feel free to send them an invite to play the UNCHARTED 3 Beta!</p>
<p><strong>Can I upload videos and photos to Facebook or YouTube?</strong><br />
No, that functionality is not available during the Beta.</p>
<p><strong>Will my Beta progress or unlocks carry over to the final game?</strong><br />
No, what happens in the UNCHARTED 3 Multiplayer Beta stays in the Beta, however we’ve lined up some killer rewards for the retail version of UNCHARTED 3 if you keep playing in the Beta:</p>
