The chat is more than half over- a thread would be pointless now.
Yes, but having all the Q&A's organized in a thread with new information would be better for discussion. No need for ancient threads :p

AmyH: Re: the sixaxis, we've refined our grenade-throwing mechanics in Uncharted 2, so that now we have a dedicated button for grenades. The sixaxis controls are optional, but they really enhance the grenade mechanics now that we've got a dedicated button for it

Insane For Sony

Yeah, I kinda figured this - they do have realtime SSAO going on there. Very impressive.

Evan Wells: We're very fortunate to have a great group of first party developers within Sony that we're able to collaborate with. We're frequently exchanging technical ideas and even share some code from time to time. We've even posted the entire source code of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune to Sony's internal severers so that any first party developer can look through it, or borrow from it... and we plan on doing the same thing when Uncharted 2 ships. We also have a group of programmers here at Naughty Dog called the ICE team. They've been busy writing highly optimized code for the PS3 for the last 5+ years, and that code has been shared externally with the PS3 dev community in the form of the EDGE libraries. So, in short, yes we share our tech

Wow awesome.

chats over :(

I'm most excited about ANOTHER MP BETA or demo coming out before the game's release. That makes me EXTREMELY happy! :)

Cloud computing?

Anyway, it's very very cool that they share the whole source code with the 1st parties. And Insomniac probably, I'll guess. :)

I think we knew that already though. Wasn't there a video released showing how they did the whole process. Wasted a question, IMHO. :(

Wow entire source code to Sony devs? I love how Sony's first parties are like this. Most awesome fucking thing ever.

Evan Wells: We are only supporting online multiplayer. We didn't want to comprimise the visuals going from single player to multiplayer and to include a split screen option at this time would have meant making that sacrifice.
WTF
Why not?

This is what I dont get about this generation. Why wont dev's make splitscreen if it means turning down the graphics a little bit? We know its splitscreen and we know it'll take a hit. That's the cost of being able to play with friends right next to you and its a price I dont mind paying. Stop with this "my girlfriend is so hot that she wears her makeup even when we're sleeping" attitude. If ppl dont want the graphical downgrade then dont play splitscreen and have your friend buy another ps3.

Yea I gotta agree with that one. Ive never heard of anyone complaining about graphical compromises when it comes to split screen.

I'll complain about the Black borders and 4:3 ratio causing my LCD to screen retention after playing over 2 hours.

Now Gears of War is perfect for split screen, all the others are failures.

I don't think it's as easy as turning a graphics dial down a few notches and splitting the screen. They've set a bar for quality, and it seems they aren't letting any of their modes slip beneath it.

What does that even mean?
Multiplayer modes will suffer from splitscreen in ways other than graphics being turned down?

And I cant wait to see the scenes with "hundreds of lights"...in Uncharted 2. I bet it's going to look amazing!

Holy shit.

Non-Co-Op Multiplayer Stuff

-More competitive modes
-2 (atleast) more co op modes (think plunder)
-More maps
-"We also have variations on all the competitivemodes that focus on specific kinds of weapons."
-"And of course our Cinema mode allows you to play back any of your matches and view it from ANY angle. You'll also be able to upload those recordings so others can download them and view them on their PS3's. You'll also be able to upload screenshots from that mode as well."

Holy fuck, jizz pants, etc.

Halo 3's theatre mode lives on!

Bring it on!!!!

What did you get banned for Fersis?

He got banned coz of the mods' envy of Fersis Engine. They wished to learn this unique creation's secrets and Fersis refused. Knowledge is power.

Some people complained about how Motorstorm: PR's split screen looked.

FYI, I was just at a Gamestop (Orange Box 360) and they had the multi player demo cards for those that pre order this game. Of course I had to explain the employee the entire situation about how one just ended and this one was different, finally he looked through the little container with the bonuses and it was there.

They've had the codes for a month or so now.

I wonder if the screen shot mode has render possibilities or if it's direct screen grabs.


I hope it is like Wipeout HD so you can play around with the screenshots. I can see 2 threads for Uncharted 2, one for the official thread and the other for the screenshot/video thread.

FUCK

I hope Naughty Dog goes on media blackout for single player after this.

It's fine to have the opening cinematic revealed and stuff, but please, no more. no fucking more. KZ2 was almost entirely spoiled months in advance.

From this point on after the GTTV thing they should only show new stuff about multiplayer.

It's not that hard to avoid looking at stuff if you don't want to be spoiled.

Yes it is hard to do.

I check these threads all the time.

It's like videogame porn. You can't NOT look at the sexiest videogame out there.

MULTIPLAYER

• Robust party system allows players to remain with their friends in matchmaking and custom matches.
• Custom matches allow players to customize maps and modes which their party wishes to play.
• Character animations and environments taken from single player campaign maintain visual fidelity with no degradation.
• Gameplay and character mechanics identical from the single-player campaign, ensuring user familiarity and same level of quality

/\I/\
