Uproar is a frantic and fun third-person shooter exclusive to PlayStation Home. We’ve pulled out all the stops to bring you an experience unlike anything seen on the platform before. The controls and gameplay will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played a third-person shooter before, however, there are some interesting tweaks to spice up the gameplay and keep it feeling fresh. We think you and your friends will have a lot of fun battling it out in the Uproar Arena!
Pick your side
You can choose to fight for either the Outlaws or the Swyfts – Uproar’s two opposing gangs – as they battle for respect within the Uproar Arena. Each gang has its own unique set of clothing available to wear in-game and out, as well as a set of gang booths in the Uproar Lobby to hang out in with your fellow gang members. Be sure to let your rival gang know what you think of them with the full range of taunts available for use within the Arena!
Uproar anywhere!
Uproar could turn up in any Home Space at any time, offering a brand new selection of maps to take the fight to. The first space to feature Uproar will be the Action District. You’ll be able to experience the Action District in ways you never could before, by clambering over rooftops and jumping into the previously unreachable car park. The Uproar Arena itself is also a great location to shoot your friends in!
Full avatar customisation
With its intuitive inventory system, Uproar presents a wealth of customisation options to explore, allowing you to play according to your own style. Equip a primary weapon, secondary weapon, melee weapon, Serum, taunt and gang representative clothing to boot, then head out onto the battlefield!
The innovative inventory system allows you to preview, purchase, rent, compare and gift everything all in one convenient screen. It’s simple to pick the right equipment and looks for your avatar, and even allows you to do it mid-battle if your strategy needs a change.
The rental system is great for trying out different weapons before committing to a purchase. The speed and ease with which this inventory can be used helps keep the battles fast paced, while still allowing you full customisation options at any point in the game.
Play for free!
Every single weapon and Serum available within Uproar can be unlocked for free through the use of unlock keys, which you obtain by simply levelling up your avatar. On entering the game every new gang initiate will be given the free starter pack, containing the Commando Rifle, Big Jonesy Pistol, Baseball Bat (complete with nails), Super Strength Serum, “Come at me bro” taunt and the standard issue set of initiate clothing. These are a great set of tools to get you started in the Arena, but be sure to try out everything the game has to offer via the inventory screen.
Super human
Serums are a fantastic addition to Uproar that really enhance both the gameplay and your avatar. Drinking a Serum will give you a short-term speed, strength or health boost, and these can all be accessed by just playing the game and levelling up!
Check out Uproar’s blog page for extra content, including a full backstory and several additional videos and images of the game. You can also follow Lockwood on Twitter or Facebook if that’s more your thing!

Hi Nordlyset87
Glad to hear you are enjoying the game
. Your are correct, only clothing purchased can be worn around Home, everything else is in-game only.
Thanks for the support

one more thing: can we move freely? or is it like that uncharted game were we click to move?
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:00 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi DAVIE222-PSVita
Uproar does indeed allow full freedom of movement, so you can run and jump around freely as you shoot your friends.
Hope you enjoy the game
Thanks

I am unable to play the game, home loads up fine, apart from I notice the uproar arena description is in german for me, I pressed triangle to download the space anyway and now all it does is stay on th
at space loading screen. ( been loading on this screen for 10 minutes) and done 2 home restarts….. Help Sony
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:03 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi mdogg91
This sounds to us like you may be trying to access the game with a German account. Do you know if this is the case? If you feel like you should not be in possession of a German account (as your UK flag might suggest to me), then this will be something for you to contact Sony support about.
I am afraid that we unfortunately had to block German users from accessing the game on launch, however we hope to be able to allow them access in the near future.
Thanks

When you say ‘Free Starter Pack’ do you mean those items are just available for use in the game including the clothing?
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:09 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi Retro_1973
Everything that you see in the Free Starter Pack will be given to your avatar for use only within Uproar upon entry to the game. Any further clothing that you purchase will be usable both in the game and outside of the game in the rest of Home, and trust me there is some great clothing in there
Hope this clears that up for you.
Thanks

Hi Sophia, nope as far as im aware I have a UK account and have done for years, I get pound symbols when on the Store, and can always access Uk content… So I think its a problem your end
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:31 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi mdogg91
We will get in contact with Sony about this issue. We currently haven’t had any similar reports from any other players, but thanks for letting us know.

The version in the Action District won’t let you play it no matter how long you wait/press X on it…
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:19 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi Retro_1973
Both Sony and Lockwood are aware of this issue and currently working together to get this resolved. Hopefully everything should be fine with the main Uproar arena game. Thanks for reporting the issue though.

@ Sophia/Home team.
This looks Very good, am glad to see Home moving in the right direction.. allthough i am only a infrequent Home user i have seen the possible potential of this ‘service’ since my very 1st visit, and to think it’s (Home) still a ‘beta’.. personally i can see Home, if given proper care, being The, or one of the strongest reasons for people to consider staying or coming to PS next gen, am going to Have to find some time out from RE6 now, (thnx !) to both check out this, and Home itself, i can only imagine the differences i will find, one thing though, is this game ok for younger Home users, or do they see a different vers of Home, as i said, the possibilities for Home Are mind boggling.
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:29 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi chrisandsheva
Thanks for the kind words. Were very proud of our games and products and are always happy to see more people tempted over to being more involved with Home. We think it is a fantastic service and believe you will find it a very different (for the better!) place to what it was before.
Uproar is rated as a PEGI 16 game.
Thanks

The description has turn into German for me now too! I also cannot get the game to load or work in either space now… Guess the server is just overloaded at the moment.
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:33 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi Retro_1973
Thanks for reporting the issue. This seems similar to the problem reported by mdogg91, and as we said to them, we will be contacting Sony about this.
Many thanks

Thanks, Sophia. It’s great little game. I’ll try it again tomorrow as I can only see the demand to play it increasing in the evening tonight which will put more stress on the servers, etc. I really enjoyed what I got to play of it so far anyway.
How many levels are there until you reach the max level by the way? Thanks
Posted on 17 October, 2012 at 5:50 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi Retro_1973
Glad to hear you have been enjoying the game. At the moment the max level is 30, however we have plans to expand upon this in the near future.
Thanks

Great work guys the game is awesome! Is simply what Homes needs to keep people there . A real free to play and not buy to win like total recall & NML (the free wepons is very good and not need necessary to buy some premium ). A level up is a reason to play without bored and last some rewards from your avatar and apartment. Really love the blue pants and t shirt’s

Thanks very much ABTR

Can i ask why is the game not in english? :[
Posted on 18 October, 2012 at 10:16 am by Sophia Coney
Hi DJrya
Could you please provide further information of the error your experiencing? We have had reports of the games description being in German for all users, this is being fixed as I type this. Is this the only place your experiencing the game to not be in English?
Thanks

Dear Sophia Coney,
my id is MonkD13, i’m in South-Africa, as you can see from my flag. I contacted you guys on your website regarding the issue of me not being able to go onto the Mercia space at all, it was bout 4 weeks ago, might be 5. I was told to issue you with ALL me details so you could look into the problem, i still havnt heard back from you guys. I send an email to the adress that was given to me.
I tried going onto the Mercia space this morning again & it still just has the Load screen for me.
Please look into this for me.
with kind regards

Hi MonkD13
Thank you for your patience. We have certainly not forgotten about Mercia. I have passed on your info to our community manager and have been assured he will be getting back to you on the matter.
Many thanks

how many tokens do i need to buy everything
Sophia Coney & yes when i play the game its in german lol we been invaded again lol JOKE
Posted on 18 October, 2012 at 4:07 pm by Sophia Coney
Hi CoolRichy008UK
You can purchase the “Everything Bundle” for 5,550 Uproar Credits (or 4,650 if you get a friend to gift it to you!). This bundle lives up to its name, as it contains absolutely everything you could possibly buy in the game. Pop in to any of the commerce points around the game to get yourself some credits.
We have been informed by Sony that the slight glitch regarding Non-German accounts seeing German text is resolved, so hopefully that should be fixed now
Thanks
