Uncharted 2 Demo Already Played A Combined 27 Years
The Uncharted 2 demo was unleashed to the general public last week, and one thing’s for sure: The hive mind approves. In that short time period, PlayStation 3 players have accrued a variety of impressive stats. But one in particular stands alone. More than a million games played? Whatever. Nearly 2 million treasures capped? Oh, please. No, the number we can’t stop gawking at is the total time played. In just a few short days, the community has logged on 9,905 days of game time, which translates into more than 27 years worth of play. Yikes. Here are all the numbers, courtesy of the PlayStation Blog:
• Total Number of games played – 1,217,424
• Total Number of Kills – 92,110,787
• Total Number of Treasures Captured – 1,860,645
• Total Amount of Money Earned – $38,841,367,350
• Total Time Played – 9,905 days (or 27+ years!)
It’s a pretty amazing stat that speaks to just how much players are anticipating the game’s release next week. Sony says it’s on track to become the most downloaded PlayStation Network demo ever. At this rate I don't see how it couldn't, even if that Evan Wells character seems a little suspect.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
