Uncharted 3 MP Beta Thread: Cinematic Murder Testing

The huge lag might have something to do with feeling like you can't kill people unless you fire 3 clips into them.

2 bursts of the second AR will kill someone if they stand still, and sometimes i'll die really fast.

Anyone remember trying to kill people in cs 1.x if you had 300+ ms lag, felt much the same.
edit: managed to play one full game after an hour break with one ten second freeze that magically recovered, but the next one it froze again and I had to reset.

Back to the initialisation manager fail.

Just downloaded and got into a game and hooooollllyyyyy shiiiiit frame-rate drops.

It's like a slideshow at times.


....and it just froze my ps3 :(


Pretty much perfectly describes my experience, too.

I was even looking forward to just the graphical showcase, and it was bit of a letdown there too. Well, the matchmaking screen at least didn't look particularly sharp. Didn't get to see much of the actual level.

Uncharted: LittleBIGPlanet edition because everything is floaty as hell.

By the way, how does the buddy selection work? When I played with randoms, it would just choose someone for me. Like, I never even high-five'd that person and I'd be their buddy.

When you play with randoms, it just picks a random person for you.

It was a mistake to have this beta available to everyone, lol.

Probably wasn't their choice, Sony gave everyone a free 30 days of PS+ and i'm sure this beta was long decided to be free for PS+ users before the PSN outage.
 
Hello there,

just wanted to say that I've downloaded the beta like 2 hrs ago, and since then I'm getting "Error initializing session manager" message. Didn't get past the title screen yet.

Europe here, on slim.
 
You people saying shit like "Couldn't get into the match, but the background looked pretty but the particle effects were shit" are hilarious.

More bugs and glitches than I could possibly begin to list.

Worst beta I've ever been a part of, and might only be second to the Gears of War 2 beta that started in November 2008.

this is really annoying, will prolly give up and try late night
 
framerate is rock solid for me so there isnt a real fundamental issue there, but i was having weird problems with people not reacting to being shot, or dying at all, and it froze on me.... so there is definitely some problems right now, probably due to traffic
 
I basically stopped playing UC2 before 1.05 came out. I'm a little confused by the posts in here, is the complaint that they increased health or decreased health too much? I thought they decreased it, but some of the posts in here imply they increased it?

(I know I loved it how it was)

Oh okay. I figured it was that, but I wanted to be 100% sure.

Regarding if it was right to give everyone access to the beta, I think it was right. If for some strange bizarre reason this multiplayer becomes a hit, Naughty Dog has to be ready for the influx of players to not have as many issues as what's happening right now.

all these hard resets are scary, one user over at the ND forums has said his ps3 wont turn on anymore. I think i might wait a while.

Yea I am not going to turn on my ps3 for a while. Fans hit a level I never thought was possible. lol

Fuck that! ND should learn from all this so none of it ever happens again.
So... is this beta the "shit"?
Yes. Literally.

It wouldn't be that, it would be cost of servers over the long term impacting the cash flow for future projects, things like the break even point, etc.

well I understand that point of view but then again how are Warhawk (2007) dedicated servers still up ? do Incognito guys like to bleed money? maybe they're not as expensive as you are making us to believe with your reply, Uncharted 1-2-3 will sell enough to guarantee dedicated servers for at least 4 years without ND risking 'breaking even', but hey it's your decision, you want all the money you can get from sales and instead of investing part of the revenue on dedicated servers you're founding future projects, I respect that, but I still think you could do both at the same time since you're not exactly little Dave & John coding videogames in a basement, you're Naughty Dog, show the world how this multiplayer shit is done ffs.

you know Incognito doesn't exist any more right?
 
framerate is solid, no huge frame drops encountered. pretty smooth experience.

then again, I am playing the beta off the Asian store. that may have something to do with it.

and I am surprised by the complaints about IQ. I have no problems with that in game at all
 
From what I played in the morning just speeding the movements up would help greatly, it seems like you're controlling a tank at present. Standard fare co-op should be in this game right, same as what was in UC2? Loved that story driven based stuff, must have already been mentioned but the UC3 co-op is a complete rip off of Killzone 2/3. Want to play more but not touching this beta until I hear the crashes have stopped, last thing I want is my PS3 going belly up due to the beta.

One positive, that Livedata Sync shit seems to have gone, it was horrible, horrible, horrible. Mate picked up the Platinum edition of UC2 and I watched that Data Sync happen.........VERY surprised people even bothered with MP considering how long that took. Maybe it was an isolated case but it took him over half an hour, something like that is not on :/
 
I just played a match where everyone on the other team was just laying on the ground, not dead, but invincible. Me and this other guy just ran around shooting everything.

They decreased health greatly. Killed the traversal aspect of the game.

every game should rip it off. I hope they make it available for competitive.

well spawning on your buddy is similar to spawning on your SL in KZ2... maybe they did actually pay some attention to the best features in KZ2...

they probably halved it. It broke the traversal, spawning, etc. U3 seems to have returned to the good pre-1.05 levels.

the fuck? This is ridiculous, unplayable.
i'm fucking disappointed.
Their servers are getting horribly smashed. Just give them some time to sort it out.

Yesterday night some gaffers were playing and it was mostly positive stuff. Give 'em some time...
 
Wario64 said:
Yeah, this morning it was totally fine. The beta is getting killed by all these people joining in.

Well, at least they now know what they need to fix! :P It's good that they're getting this though, rather it was fixed now :)

It seems like health has been increased from the current U2 but it's most likely just the shit weapons everyone has at the start; though it does only take 4 or 5 bullets to kill with the U3 FAL equivalent.

I wouldn't be surprised that when the majority of players have most things unlocked, people will be saying, "The health is too low!"
 
Just ended up in a party with Kittonwy, lol, did well - it was fun. But I got kicked from PSN at the end of the match, then when I tried to re-login, it froze up on me. Having to do so many hard resets makes me nervous, so I am going to cool it for a bit.
