Recommended Posts

:laugh: bring a lazy-boy along. you may be there a while.

LOL I'm too cheap for my own good, but I have hope.

Though I doubt I'll buy it on Tuesday, I'll probably wait 'till the weekend (somebody might return it by the weekend :D)

I took this picture yesterday for lols, besides the "out now" which it wasn't (I did check), check the bottom. :rofl:

Lol, time, time is all I need.

Naughty Dog reveals Uncharted 2 graphics info

Just by viewing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves screens or trailers, the first thing you?ll notice are the incredible graphics. Naughty Dog was able to utilize the power of the Cell processor more than ever before, which allowed them to focus the graphics chip to certain aspects of the game.

In a video interview found in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Pal England, Lead Programmer at Naughty Dog, talked about the graphics of Uncharted 2. The main characters typically have eighty thousand polygons in them. Even more impressive, just using the graphics card, Naughty Dog was able to pump out two million triangles in every frame.

?Our characters they typically have eighty thousand polygons in you know, one character, like the main character. In total- what we try to push through to the graphics chip at one point two million triangles that we try to draw every frame. We do a lot using the cell processor.?

Naughty Dog really pushed the PS3 hard this time around and it shows. Every level in Uncharted 2 looks better than the previous. Look for a full review later this weekend.

Soniq I want you to win too. :p

That pic is hillarious though, its as bad as Gamestop ****ing up and making Forza 3 a PS3 exclusive. :p

Oh, thought you meant wanted Corris to beat me & Kol... lol.

You say that like it's a bad thing. BTW, made a bet with the gf, won, and she has to buy me Fallout3 GOTY - Gold and Silver trophies galore!

Lucky, I was going to trade in this old one and get the new one instead of downloading all the expansions. But I've decided to wait till I have more free time to get back into Fallout 3, it was such an awesome game.

Really looking forward to this game now. We need a weekend bonanza weekend with us all playing online against each other. ^^

Gimme a couple weeks. I have a feeling I'll end up with Afrika and Saw before I can get U2 from Gamefly.

I know someone who's had the game since Wednesday (he's got a friend "in the business") and he says it's basically Uncharted with minor tweaks, better graphics without too much gameplay differences.

Normally that'd be a recipe for a backlash but since Uncharted was a damn good game to start with, it sounds like it will at least not fail the hype altogether.

I'm still not convinced about the MP aspect though.......

I thought that was what it was hyped up as being. It's just a BIGGER overall package from an already awesome game.

There's plenty of videos on this. A lot of people are already playing it, so if there were to be any backlash, my guess would be, we'd already be seeing it.

I don't have any doubt about this game being a huge success. If it isnt already.

Uncharted 2 is completely self contained, although you'll get a little bit out of a few lines or reveals if you've played the first game. This is a good move, with the new $300 price point of the PS3 and the buzz this game has been receiving, Uncharted 2 is going to be entertaining a very large, new audience. If you don't have a PS3, you're going to miss what very well could be the game of the year.
The Good

* One of the most beautiful games of this generation

* Excellent voice acting, perfectly defined characters

* A good length at 10 hours or so

* Gun fights, action scenes can play out many, many different ways

* Well rounded selection of weapons

* Genuinely funny writing

The Bad

* One dimensional villain

* A story that doesn't break much new ground

* Story falters somewhat in the last act

* It ends at all

The Ugly

* After this game, you'll realize just how poor and slapped together the writing and voice acting is in most other games

* The comments when people realize we're saving the thoughts on multiplayer for another post

Least it looks like they're taking advertising for this more seriously,

I?d just like to share with you guys some of the UK marketing and advertising for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves that you?ll be seeing on your screens over the coming weeks.

We?re sponsoring some great TV over the next 10 weeks, this will feature ?Uncharted 2: Among Thieves? branding and footage on all Sky One & Two Movies, including Mission Impossible 2, Hunt for Red October and Beverly Hills Cop. In addition the sponsorship will cover adventure programming on Discovery across four channels (Discovery, Discovery Shed, DMAX and Quest) including new episodes of Deadliest Catch, Whale Wars and Bear Grylls. The movie and adventure sponsorship angle obviously fits Uncharted 2 perfectly.

Along with this sponsorship, we?ll be running our TV ad, including great spots in both the England World Cup Qualifier against Belarus on the 14th and the UEFA Champions League match between Chelsea and Athletico Madrid the following week.

You?ll also be able to catch our ad in cinemas nationwide in movies like Saw VI, Jennifer?s Body, Triangle, 2012 and Zombieland among others

Along with this we have a big press campaign and a competition running on www.benathandrake.com, where you and a friend are in with a chance of winning a real Himalayan adventure and follow the footsteps of Marco Polo (and Nathan Drake of course) on a 19 day holiday in Nepal. UK residents only, sorry.

That?s it from me? let me know what you think of the campaign and if you have any other questions or comments.

Take Care, enjoy the game and I?ll see you guys online

Phil

You can see the ad here - http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/10/12/...s-uk-marketing/

Apparently USA has a tie up with Pepsi, no more details yet...

Is it really worth getting part 1? I havent got it yet but to me when I *breifly* played it, it played like Tomb Raider... Just wondering if its really worth getting before playing part 2, as part 2 looks great.

Least it looks like they're taking advertising for this more seriously

hope so.

they need to take notes from the ms ad machine.

im so sick of all the halo odst commercials, omg :pinch:

at least they got a decent amount of airtime with ninja gaiden 2 sigma commercials, battling it out against ^

idk, sony's ad campaigns have been close to non-existent here in the states. anyone remember killzone2 ads? hardly.

Is it really worth getting part 1? I havent got it yet but to me when I *breifly* played it, it played like Tomb Raider... Just wondering if its really worth getting before playing part 2, as part 2 looks great.

I picked my copy of the first recently. I played through it 3x's. got 100% completion woot!

its a greatest hit now, so you can pick it up at that g-hits price. (Y)

It was definitely worth picking up. I regret not picking it up earlier. you wont be disappointed. i wasnt.

on another note, wonder if gamestop's going to have a midnight event tonight, they usually phone in a day prior to an event. i havent gotten the call.

Edited by niqqa

My Gamestop that I pre-ordered it from is doing a Midnight Launch for it tonight, but it just makes no sense for me to stay up past my normal bed time on a work night just so I can come home and go to sleep like I already would have been doing. I also have a really bad cold, so both of these factors are adding up to the fact I will probably just wait until tomorrow to pick it up. Unless of course I do convince myself I am going to take the day off tomorrow because I am indeed sick, and then I have all the reason in the world to go get it at midnight tonight. :laugh:

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
