No, there are rounds. First to five, I think. We're talking about the two teams literally just sprinting at eachother. It was a massacre.
Not as fast as my first match of Chain Reaction, mind. We won that in precisely the time it took us to run to all 5 bases, and that was just one round.

Yep, look at the picture where Sully is hidden behind the two booties:Girsej said:Really? That's too awesome, but then again everthing about this game is too awesome!
See him hiding back there? Now imagine him overlayed on this box (same size):
After moving the FOV / camera that close, the texture STILL looked like this:
Yeah...

Well some people just suck =P But elimination should have a separate playlist.
I did NOT read booties in that sentence. I thought it said something else. I´m not saying what, but its pretty close to booties.xenorevlis said:

Oh shit son, Gold Rush Co-Op is....my god. A few rounds in and the fucking Heavy Weapons guys appear en masse and spray the entire map with bullets :lol
Couldnt find the game in Cinema though, Co-Op not Cinema mode compatible then?
This party is for Bro's only.

I had to fucking pry myself away from this last night and turning the PS3 off was like a new level of torture. Luckily I'm between jobs and that means I can play this all day. Which I will.

So it seems like the game just captures straight framebuffer grabs that you can edit?
I'm not seeing screens with extra AA.
Is this photomode MP only? Fucking love to get some photos of the SP portion..

I played some deathmatch and treasure hunting modes last night, and ended the night with some Co-op. Dear lord was it awesome. Co-op was fantastic. It was only three of us, and we made it to round 8, but it got totally crazy toward the end. I learned the hard way that you cannot try to melee the guys with the riot shields from the front.
Is there an Uncharted 2 PSN chat room up?

It's a new build of the same demo (with a few more features packed in).
I think the beta was bare bones, as in co-op's introduction Drake isn't holding a brown paper map anymore (which was textureless and made me think it was a treasure map) now it's black colored and textured as a "Welcome to Nepal!" map).
I believe StarCraft 2 will be the first game in the world that has rewind in replays. No joke. LBP rewinds to highlights but SC2 goes frame by frame.Darkatomz said:
It's something about how devs implement effects and such I'm guessing. Something to cross off with Uncharted 3 then.

I hope I get to play that damn temple map tonight, everytime it came up it got vetoed.
elohel said:
Looks the same to me, just everything is better textured now. It's less "barebones"/"in development" than it was two months ago.
I'm not TTP, I don't see "ZOMG SCREEN TEARS! ZOMG POP IN! ZOMG SHITTY TEXTURES!" The graphics look just as good (if not better) than the beta to me, so that's all that matters to me on that front.

MOTHERFUCKER. I just pre-ordered the game from Gamestop, look at the e-mail they send me and see this bullshit:
"Your unique pre-order promotion code is Oops! Our system is out of codes. To request your code please send an email to orders@gamestop.com"
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Misunderstood.
Yeah, I think Cinema only records competitive games. Not sure if it records "The Stage" events.

That is excellent news... excellent news indeed. Gonna pick my code up tonight. I can't handle this anymore :lol :lol
EDIT: Hey! I am a bonafide member! Hmmm.... should I get rid of the boob suckage?

Screen tearing didn't bother me one bit in Uncharted, so if it's better in Uncharted 2... well, good I guess. Seriously though, that box texture -- somebody is doing something right with that 256mb of ram.

I've noticed zero screen tearing since playing the demo and I played it for about 7 hours straight yesterday. :lol
Now we know where the 21 score comes from. It would be a 20/20 with screen tearing. But without, well... things get a tad... Biblical.

Playing with random retards in Co-Op is kinda annoying. HELLO WE ARE BOTH DEAD OVER HERE COULD YOU HELP?
If Naughty Dog skinned this MP experience with customiseable characters (like MGO) and more weapons they could release a retail game like this, no-joke. Its amazing.

It's just so good. And one of the very few online games that I feel like I'm decent at. I can't wait to get ODST next week, but I know I'm getting in line for a slaughter. I love Halo, but I really suck at it. Uncharted 2, I mean, I wouldn't say I'm better than most, but I can certainly hold my own and that makes it more fun to me than other multiplayer games. I don't feel like everyone is super better than I am, and unlike Halo people don't treat this like a religion so the odds are way more fair than the people who seemingly make a living out of being amazing at it.

yeah I was in the first beta and am actually really good at it. I dont even buy halo games anymore because I suck so bad at them.:lol However, I seem to be a crackshot in uncharted.

Has anyone had trouble connecting to the demo?
I downloaded fine, get into the game, connect to the MP portion, but when I go to matchmaking I just sit at "Finding Players" forever, until it boots me back out to the matchmaking options screen.
When I try to create a party it just sits there saying "Creating Party" until I quit out of the game through the XMB.
I'm having no luck with this thing - I even re downloaded and installed again to no avail. Just trying to see if there is anyone else out there who has the same problem and if anyone knows the solution.

Its because no one wants any penalty for dying. However, it does show that the way the lobbies are set up could use some work.

Where do I find the videos I've uploaded?

excellent. thanks for the info, I'm gunna hit my local EB Games the minute it opens.
Captain Pants said:
Nowhere other than the in-game uploaded video menu (press Triangle in the videos list screen to switch between local and uploaded).
I'm not sure if we will be able to watch them via official website, but as far as I can tell, uploading a video serves the purpose of sharing it with PSN friends via PSN message.
In order to share, u need to upload.
BTW, question to Naughty Gods: will we ever be able to just select the PSN message attachment right from the XMB (as is, not in game) and get a prompt to put in the game disc in order to actually open the attached file?

Seriously, i love elimination. every game with the GAFe crew as brilliant fun. It needs to come up more or be it's own playlist option.
Sniper Pistoles can go rot in the same asshole of hell Halo 3's shotty snipers should reside in. Hate hate hate that gamemode and will quit out of a sniper pistole match if not with GAFe clanmates.

Gold Rush is a ton better than I thought it would be. Those dudes don't fuck around in the later levels - especially the snipers and the ones who choke you when you get too close. I thought there was a way to take down a riot shield by using hand-to-hand? I know it was in one of the campaign videos from a few months ago but nothing seemed to work.
