Uncharted 3 multiplayer opens early with Subway promotion

By Rick Marshall October 3, 2011

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception doesn’t hit shelves until November 1, but anyone looking to get an early start on the game’s multiplayer mode should locate the nearest Subway sandwich shop.

Yes, you read that correctly: head to Subway for Uncharted 3.

As part of a partnership between Uncharted 3 developer Naughty Dog and the chain of sandwich shops, anyone who buys one of Subway’s specially marked 30-ounce drinks will get an early-access code for the game’s multiplayer mode. The campaign kicked off October 1 and will run through the rest of the month.

And while the early access to Uncharted 3‘s multiplayer mode is actually a pretty sweet (if sort of weird) deal, there’s also a long list of in-game items and cheats available via the Subway promotion. Along with a special “foot-long taunt” players can unlock, the promotion also includes some unique weapons, skins, and abilities.

What’s more, all of the leveling and unlockables achieved during the Subway promotion carry over into your player profile when the full game hits shelves.

Sure, it’s a pretty bizarre promotion, but we’re not going to argue with getting early access to Uncharted 3.

You can watch the official ad for the promotion below, as well as a video posted on the Playstation Blog that provides more details about the promotion and what you can unlock.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is scheduled for release November 1.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3

Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.

Every video game delay that has happened in 2023 so far

The player skates toward the moon in Skate Story.

Few things feel as inevitable in the video game industry as delays. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, game delays have only become more and more common as developers find previously set timelines unrealistic and adjust their release plans accordingly. More than halfway through 2023, we've already seen some notable AAA games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Skull & Bones, and Pragmata delayed pretty heavily. Because video game release date delays are so common, it can be tough to keep track of every game that has had its launch date shifted in some way.
That's why, just as we did in 2021 and 2022, Digital Trends is rounding up every game delay that's announced throughout 2023. Here are the high-profile ones that have happened so far, listed chronologically by their new intended release dates.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (March 16)

As Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is one of the best games for PlayStation VR, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Supermassive Games' PlayStation VR2 successor, is a highly anticipated launch title for the upcoming VR headset. Unfortunately, it will no longer make PlayStation VR2's February 22 launch and will instead be released on March 16. On Twitter, a message from Supermassive Games says this delay will ensure that players "receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible" at release. The game was released on that date to mixed reviews.
