As big of a fan as I am, I'm disappointed to say I'm absolutely not getting this. Cutting out game content that we had in the original release and selling some of it to us as preorder bonus BS? Cutting out ALL multiplayer?
I would argue that the Naughty Dog B Team put as much time or more into the U3 multiplayer as they did with the campaign. You can easily tell if you've played it.
Gamers stayed with U3 for the MP, not for the campaign, as it sucked, especially compared to U2.
"But there's U4 Beta Access!" Oh so this is the MP we're supposed to be happy about! A couple of weeks worth of a (probably) almost-finished product that will then be taken away in order for us to spend another $60 to keep playing it!
Past all of that, I wonder if all these new Uncharted players will get to experience the jarring aiming difference going from U2 to U3, especially now that they're playing at 60fps.
ND's B Team seriously fucked up the aiming fluidity in U3. Everyone just had to get used to it.
