'Uncharted 2' Twitter updates disabled
Published Wednesday, Sep 30 2009, 12:25 BST | By Matthew Reynolds
Naughty Dog president Evan Wells said that there was "concern" over the number of updates being issued from early review copies, which caused floods of messages appearing on feeds.
"Some reviewers have had early access to the game and selected the option to update their Twitter accounts as they completed each chapter of the game," he told PlayStation Blog.
"This has resulted in some Twitter feeds being updated multiple times an hour. We obviously want to provide the best experience for everybody, so for the time being we’ve disabled Twitter updates on chapter completions."
The option will be re-patched "some time" after the game has been released, with a limit on the update frequency.
"We’re certainly sorry for any inconvenience, but I guess that’s the risk you run when trying to blaze a new trail in the complicated world of Social Media!" Wells added.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be released for PS3 on October 16.
