Briefly: The beta for Uncharted 4's multiplayer starts this week for owners of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection. Australian and Euro-region players will start getting access tomorrow, followed by a North American start on December 5. The beta will run through December 13.
It probably makes sense when you think about how much money Call of Duty actually makes, although it's probably not what I would have picked for overall community engagement.
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a pretty solid attempt at convincing everyone to re-purchase games they've already played in GLORIOUS HD resolution and it's pretty easy to be cynical about it, but last night I spent some time with all three games in the collection and the package looks spiffy. Come on in and watch me play the first 15 minutes of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Normally I'd feel bad for wanting a remaster -- except this one.
What it is: Why, it's a PS3 game ported to PS4! Make that three of them, three excellent PS3 action-adventure games, Uncharted 1-3 (just the singleplayer), ported by development studio Bluepoint, coming out in lieu of the delayed-out-of-2015 Uncharted 4 on October 9.
