nice.

 

[Loudninja]

Sounds like MP impressions/footage is coming on Friday, and judging by some recent tweets I don't expect it to disappoint.

I am pretty sure that is SP.

 

[Gamespawn]

I hope this game is as long as U2. That had the perfect length. And no stupid online trophies.

 

[teh_pwn]

Gold is basically the master disc as you release to manufacturing. Depending on your company's internal procedure, it may involve some more stuff like 1 last virus scan or some other tedious-ness. I imagine with a company like Naughty Dog where you make like 1 game every 2 years for 1 platform it's pretty much RTM instantly and discs start printing.

 

[dragonbane]

And thus, it begins!

I'm actually picking up a new TV (Panasonic plasma) today, and this game is the main reason why!

You ass TLOU, Beyond and PS4 is going to look glorious on that...

 

[taizuke]

Same feeling. lol

 

[plainr_]

Hell yes. Going on a media blackout made the wait easier than I thought.

 

[Dragon]

Because perforce is good with assets and git is decidedly shit at those. (Massive repo sizes due to that.)

Perforce is shit at everything else though :/. I just hope the actual coding is done with git, branching is a god send compared to shitty perforce's version.

Lot of people use perforce. Google I think.

What benny_a certainly makes sense, I hadn't thought of the assets and managing files that add up to 10s of gigabytes, I'm a web dev. But perforce's workflow is terrible and the fact it changes file permissions is asinine to say the least.

According to ND it's their longest yet.

 

[OutToLunch]

P4 sync??

Perforce. Grabbing latest

Google uses way more than gigabytes. I've heard petabytes weekly. They build all of their software all of the time against basically every change submitted. It's pretty awesome, every software company should do the same rather than some guy building software manually and going "oh shit, of some 50,000 changes one of these broke the software build!"

In a year, this will be the most despised game on GAF.

You're preaching to the choir. I wish my company had better automated tests so continuous integration was an actual thing.

 

[DigitalOp]

Sweet. This is so damn sweet.

You mean 3 months after release after the initial jizzfest?

I mean, awesome news. I can't wait to play it.

 

[xxracerxx]

So excited.

This times a million.

I wonder if anyone working on libgit2 is seriously looking into performance for massive files. Of course, even if they did, a repo slug of hundreds of gigabytes is going to be a bad time for any DVCS.

If I was running a game project I'd probably separately handle source contol for software assets and art assets and keep them in sync with a reference file.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Its not multiplayer. Only single-player impressions on Friday.

You say that because you have experience with working with 100 GB+ repositories? Or you just thought about that for a moment?

Having everything in one repo gives you consistency. You don't want to have to use two tools to go back to a specific revision. Anybody that ever worked on a huge project knows this gets messy and a reference file is not an elegant solution.

And git is good because of cheap branching, better merge tracking, bisect, etc. That it is decentralized is nice, but the way people use it nowadays (github) it's not the part that makes it great.

I'm sure programmers are using a dvcs locally where git is currently the top choice.

I wish I could appropriately prepare you people for #thelastofus...But even if I were allowed to, I can't

@PrettyLarceny And I REALLY can't prepare you for the best MP ever conceived....

[RedNumberFive]

This will be released 2 days before Father's Day!

I'm going to insist that my daughter (mom) pick me up this game, a 6-pack of good beer, and give ol' dad an afternoon off.

Sounds like an incredible movie.

OK, I want this yesterday. I'm glad work dies down for me in the Summer months, giving me lots of time to play this

 

[anarckitty]

Awesome! Totally buying this for my husband for Father's Day.

First classification for TLOU is from Australia

[Takuya]

Doesn't "gold" mean the discs are printed?

Means the source code for version 1.0 is final and ready to be pressed.

 

[Dragon1893]

Sex: Mild Impact
Nudity: none

Hm, I guess it's implied somewhere?

Lucky we got that R18+ rating when we did. I'd have been fucking pissed if we didn't get to play this

 

[dragonbane]

Probably a "sex" scene similar to Uncharted 2 between Joel and Tess

 

[Acquiescence]

All I can say is, thank God the themes are strong impact only. I don't think I could stomach those high impact themes.

 

[Dragon1893]

Yeah, that's what I meant with implied. Still weird to call something like that moderate lol.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Looks like we'll see a new round of previews tonight

Exited to get to play a bunch more of LAST OF US today at a Sony event. My impressions will be up tonight.

https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/335061595401097217

Possibly multiplayer related?

We are getting SP pics and previews on Friday.

Someone did mention something about a mutiplayer session or something.

"@ManuelStanislao: @NaughtyGods not yet, but I have a multiplayer session next week"

https://twitter.com/ManuelStanislao/status/334438705781694464

I also assume the US press will get to see this already on thursday at Sony's pre-E3 event.

[Zemm]

Is there going to be a pre-release demo that doesn't require buying God of War?

 

[Sanctuary]

Theres a lot of hype.I hope it's not a let down.

Don't use the listen mode button and it shouldn't be.

 

[trilobyte]

[Fezzan]

Wish I could afford a PS3 to buy this game
Have they said anything about MP yet, or is it a secret until release?

No MP footage?

I think I still may be one of the select few looking forward to MP.

 

[AKyemeni]

No MP footage?

Nope lol. Not yet.

Edit: You're not the only one.

 

[NateDrake]

June 4.

 

[Dragon1893]

You can turn it off in the options.

Something must be up with the MP. The game is out in like 3 weeks and they haven't shown it at all.

Aww yissss! Exciting times my friends. I have no doubt this will blow minds.

Also.......I keep on forgetting that the demo is upon us in a few days! O__O

From what I've heard, retail review copies won't have online activated until release day.
