Uncharted demo unlocked over PSN
Region-free version launches
Apparently, Naughty Dog didn't mean to rile international gamers by locking their PSN demo of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune to US PS3 consoles, the developer stating that an honest mistake was made and they simply didn't realise gamers from other parts of the world could access US PSN content.
"We just didn't know people from other territories could connect to the US PLAYSTATION Network Store and download demos ... now we do! We've been too busy working on the game to wrap our head's around the infrastructure of the PSN," confessed the co-president of Naughty Dog, Christophe Balestra.
"We absolutely did not plan the demo to be region locked. As soon as we figured out the problem existed, Sam Thompson (line producer, SCEA) called me and I jumped into my car, drove to the office and fixed it right away," the developer revealed.
Concluding: "It's an honest mistake and we didn't try to prevent anybody from enjoying the Uncharted demo."
A new region free version of the demo will be available on the PlayStation Store from today.
