Uncharted 3

Damn you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wont be playing it until Nov 3, since I ordered it at Amazon. After having to wait weeks for SotC to show up in stores, I thought I will spare me the trouble this time. Now this damn game teases me at every store window - Whatever I do, I do it wrong!

Heh heh ! :LOL: ! Happens with me too, sometimes I pre-order only to get it a week later than others.

BTW, I am going weak in the knees now. Might just get it, you know :unsure: !
 
I know, but Arne from ND confirmed at neogaf that it was remove, because it was causing way too many bugs, but he will looks into cinema mode and chapter select so they might be patched in later.
 
ya, mirror world, unlimited ammo makes U2 and U1 very fun and zero gravity too. Change character skins was also funny. I remember I can spam grenade launcher in U2 with infinite ammo cheat on and the frame rate still stay rock solid, there must be a lot of extra performance left in U2, I guess in U3 they are really pushing it.

Yes, mirror world, No gravity, special Guns, funny skins, Infinte ammo, etc were what made me replay nepal and afterwards again and again. Espcially No Gravity : I would make enemies fly and then fly some more by throwing grenades. I even managed to make Drake fly :p ! I threw a grenade, which dislodged a Car door and made it go flying upwards due to no gravity, I immediately jumped on it, Drake grabbed its ledge and we were aire-borne in Nepal :cool::p ! DId that many times and had good laughs.

Its sad to see "Funner" things go and just a linear experience remain. The story will owl me over the first time, but on the second playthroughs I tend to skip all cutscenes and just have fun with the gameplay !
 
Wow some of that stuff is insane:

Wells continues, "All of these bugs point to the exact same problem in our streaming system. We are streaming stuff constantly; we're abusing the PlayStation 3 like a bad child. We're streaming audio, music, animation, video, levels, textures, everything. We're filling the memory, and about halfway through, it gets jammed up so that when we ask for a texture, it's not there; we ask for an animation, and it's not there." Balestra interjects to note that the reason this bug came up was because the programmer happened to play the game on an older test unit -- most of Naughty Dog's Quality Assurance team were using newer debug hardware and hence weren't running into this issue. The developers realized that a lot of fans still probably play games on launch-era PS3 systems, and this bug could end up ruining a lot of players' experiences.

Balestra remembers having an intense two-hour-plus discussion with lead programmers Travis McIntosh and Christian Gyrling to nail down exactly what triggers the game's meltdown at the halfway point, and they concluded that somehow, the streaming system was causing the PS3's hard-drive to fragment, which therefore led to lots of seeks when requesting data, and said seeks would cause the "traffic jam" that Wells described earlier. Wells notes, "Even though it's literally past the day that we told Sony, 'We're not changing the code anymore, trust us,' we went in and changed the most fundamental and frequently called function in the game."
 
Hey ! So what exactly changed from the phat to the slim units in terms of hardware. its the same hardware right? imean, processors, RAM and HDD and data Bus.

No, the HDD performance gets better progressively from Phat to current Slim models (where typically the larger drives also perform better). Particularly seek times tend to improve (partly because more and faster heads are used, with higher density discs, I believe). But of course if you upgraded your Phat to a bigger hard drive (as I did pretty early on, to a 320GB) you wouldn't notice much difference. ;) (my Phat is dead now though)

And it's from the link patsu posted.

Oh ! Ok ! Yeah, I upgraded to a 500gb earlier this year , so I am ready :cool: !

And guess what, getting married sure has its own advantages. As is usual with me, I had posting trailers and other stuff related to UC3 on my FB page time and again since quite some time now, and well one of my bestest friend noticed and he has pre-ordered the Special Edition for me as a Wedding Gift :p !!! Ain't that just so cool !First patsu gifts me R3 and now this best friend of mine(we go back a long way , have shared some very memorable phases of life, good n bad,) gifts me UC3 ! Yay !!!!

Wish this gifting spree continues :D ! If anyone else if feeling that benevolence tingling up their spines, then you still have BF3 and Skyrim that you can wrap in ur sweet love and send it to me ;) !


:LOL: !
 
This seems to be missing:

Rather interesting and hair raising read about the Uncharted development experience.

Talks about its genesis and PS3 issues ND encountered along the way.

Awesome read about that link you posted. What really intrigued me was the comment about the launch era PS3s and the PS3s we have now....where in the old ones they would run in to bugs when streaming stuff and the newer ones no such problem...what all changed in the PS3? Surely not more RAM or higher clock speeds or bus speeds or faster hard drives?!
