Forgot the basics of visuals...

Well, I'm not going to say anything more I guess. I'm surprised you haven't just moved over to the PC only with how much graphics affect you.

Ya, makes no sense. Fuck I hope he doesnt buy GT5
 
TTP said:

I meant in general. Not exceptions here and there. I mean, granted, you don't get a lot of these 1st party console games, but the problems that affect you graphically are much less abundant.
 
TTP said:
Can you fucking read? I said "Frame rate, aliasing and pop in". It's THREE issues. I can cope with one, maybe two of those simultaneously, not all three of them.

I balded the section I was referring to, when someone says they needed to give their eyes a rest it's usually because they are referring too the aliasing, not becuase of pop-in or frame rate, I've never heard anyone say they needed to give their eyes a rest from pop-in before.

There is always a fist time.

metaphorically, you can say aliasing cuts the eyes, pop in punches them and frame drops drag them around.
 
Shit, sorry TTP. I was in two minds about asking for further comment cos I know what it could lead to. Shucks.

In any case, I loved the demo and will be all over this sucker on release.

Yes, we get it. There is aliasing. There is pop-in. The framerate taks short dips from time to time. WE KNOW. Now please quit overblowing the whole situation. It's making you look like a dickbag and it's not going to make us dislike or not buy the game. Quit your attention seeking little man, you've had your fun.
 
TTP said:

Well either way, if these 'minor' issues are such a problem for you that you felt you needed to give your eyes a rest then you'd be better off not playing this game again tbh and refrain from playing the same record over and over again, if they effect you to such an extreme level your just not doing yourself any favours, perhaps you be better off sticking to PC gaming, becuase console gaming is a veritable minefield for people like yourself that let minor graphical imperfections infringe upon their gaming enjoyment and objectivity to such a large extent.

I dunno about the full game, but the demo didnt really seem like it had any harsh frame rate drops or anything.

That's becuase it didn't.

TTP claimed Infamous looked much worse then other sandbox titles. So he is either exaggerating, or has lost it.

I'm just replying to objections. All I said in my first post was "Frame rate, aliasing and pop in are just as bad as in the demo". I didn't "overblow" anything.
 
Do you know if the UK version has the french dialogues ?

I want to play it in french but not at the french price :D (what about the canadian version ?).

Thank you for the suggestion but I don't have problems playing this gen games, despite their faults.

How are you not overblowing it when you don't shut up about, say it's the worst looking sandbox title ever and come up with metaphors for it. Seriously, give it up. If you don't like it, stop playing it and don't pollute this thread with your shit again.
 
Fuck, never thought I'd see the Sony crowd (of which I'm one!) turn against TTP.

I hate you TTP. You kicked my ass in Warhawk once. I never forget. : (

If anything, you are the one who is overblowing something. That something being my comments.

Just stop bothering me and I'll quit. Keep going, and I'll never do so.
 
dragnet, you're the one polluting the thread with your personal attacks and kiddy swearing rage.

dickbag? cunt? all over a videogame? simply ignore TTP's opinion if it's poisonous to you.

I'm sorry but I'm just sick of the crap, that's all. I've voiced my opinion, now I'm done. I don't want to hate TTP, but his comments anger me. Really, I just want him to enjoy the game, I want him to be able to look past visual issues (which EVERY game has) and enjoy the gameplay which is utterly superb. I just don't want to see no hatin' on mah inFamous! :(

Where were you on page 4 and 5 when we chased an actual troll out of this thread?

Like I said, TTP is just a big graphics whore. The smallest imperfections bug the shit out of him and if they are glaring graphical flaws, he goes apeshit. But just because he's really critical doesn't mean he's a troll, here to shit all over this thread. However, I can see how it can be really annoying to read about so many complaints about a game a few weeks before it's retail release.
 
Kintaro said:

I didn't say that in my first post.

Look, I'll make it very simple for you to understand how this should have gone without turning into a TTP hate-fest.

I post: "Frame rate, aliasing and pop in are just as bad as in the demo." (I did this cos people were still wondering if demo code was final or not)

GAF replies: "Oh well, they didn't bother me in the demo."

The End.

But no, you had to go "oh you don't like games/why don't you play PC/you are a cunt".
 
TTP said:
Continental Europe version DOES NOT HAVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE which is something that drives me totally crazy. I have the system set to English and game starts in French. So, to those that want to play the game in English and don't live in UK, I suggest buying it from play.com or whatever.

.

:\

was it Blu-ray space ( unlikely ) ,or time problem ?

I guess they rushed the whole thing to release the game before Prototype no matter what ( which mighe effect on the whole polish thing and caused the bad jaggies too ) , maybe one track per version was the fastest way to do it ..dunno .
 
Who gives a shit about the graphics discussion, all of you wankers should be talking about the LOCALIZATION FUCKUP!


RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
 
TTP is italian. It's the very definition of overblowing things.


I'm kidding, don't hurt me. That said, you shouldn't have said that french language killed your ears. So there :p

I don't think time was an issue. And it's not one track per version. Italian and French are there, and I assume Spanish and something else is there as well (didn't check). It's just the English language missing.

I'm really clueless about this decision.
 
Totobeni said:

From what I've understood, there are at least 2 tracks on his version : french and italian.

edit : I have well understood ;)

Maybe you should stop playing game and just start watching Trailers of game, look at bullshots.

Basically just play the NeoGaf game.

No, but you said it in the second one. Which is when this whole thing spiraled.

But no, you had to go "oh you don't like games/why don't you play PC/you are a cunt".

All I know is that meaningless graphical niggles bother the shit out of you so I figured PC gaming would fit your tastes better since it's much fewer and more controllable. I never called you names or said you didn't like games.

You could have just as easily ignored everything as much as everyone else ignored you. I'll keep that in mind now though.

I've been in and out of the thread, and up until this point I just sat here and took it. Fair enough if that's what bugs him, but does he need to act like it's a gamebreaker? I don't think it's necessary.

metaphorically, you can say aliasing cuts the eyes, pop in punches them and frame drops drag them around.

Like I said, unnecessary comments simply made to attract attention.

Now let's quit this and focus on the positive stuff about inFamous :D

Excuse me while I pull my pants down and take a picture of my dick, uploading now, could take a while......;-P

Seriously though that is genuinely good to hear, but that's not how you come across in your posts, all I'm saying is with regards to this game either forget it becuase you can't handle the graphical issues and leave it at that instead of raining on everyone's parade, or preferably make a conscious decision to not care about these 'issues' and just enjoy the game, and can do that, I've done it myself and it really works, I know what I'm about to say will sound like something from a self-help book picked up at an airport news stand, but if you really want to enjoy this game but feel that the aliasing, pop-in, frame-rate etc is bugging you then whack the game in, sit down, and actually say to yourself "I'm choosing to not to bothered about any graphical issues in this game, I can not change them and I accept the game as it is", this really helps.

I'm only saying this becuase I used to be like you, only 5 years ago I used to let certain graphical issues in games bug me to extent that it would effect the enjoyability of many games, and that in itself used to annoy me even more, I used to see people enjoy playing games on the PS2 with poor frame rates, awful ailising etc, while I had to carefully skirt around certain games and miss out on them becuase I was overly analytical about them, until that was I thought I'd try out what I suggest to you in the above paragraph, I just kept telling myself it didn't matter, just enjoy the game, and over time I kind of 'unlearned' my obsessiveness about graphics and began enjoying games alot more.

Please give this a try, you'll be surprised how effective it can be, have fun dude, because ultimately that is what gaming is about.

I played the game in ITALIAN! The french language is just the one used by default as you start up the game on a PS3 set to English. That's why I mentioned it. I stated in a follow up post I hate localization in general, not French language.

You stupid Ricky Martin French lover

oh ...there are multi tracks but just no English track !!! that weird

I thought most European ( well guys in forums ) actually play in English most of the time , it's the original language of the game the best " acting-wise " ..

Well, I'm not you and never was. I've been playing games since Pong era and I perfectly enjoy them all. Even the shitty looking ones.

Sadly there where no trophies in the PS2 and before eras to prove this :P
You gotta trust me.
 
Hmph what are the chances nordic countries will receive the same bullshit? I remember the Sly games getting full Finnish dubs, but those games are popular with kids too so it's different.

Well you seem to be contradicting yourself then, you say that certain graphical issues are so bad that you have to give your eyes a rest and then now you say that you "perfectly enjoy them all, even the shitty looking ones", make up your fucking mind mate, Jesus.

Edit - I too have been playing games from the Pong era, just for reference.

I fucking hope they don't pull this shit here, at least Scandinavians are highly skilled English speakers. :p I'll most likely buy my copy here in Suecia, and don't want to run into this FUCK-UP!

Would you fucking give it a rest? You seem have this incredible inability to grasp that others are more discriminating of image quality than you, and you need to drop it already. TTP is expressing how he feels about the game based on aspects of the game that are apparently important to him, and that's "raining on the parade?"
 
Stop pimping your trophies TTP :p

And you are totally my trophy pace car guy on PSN, everytime I get a bunch I see how I am doing in relation to you...I can't seem to gain any ground though :)
 
TTP's job is to play and critique games.
So being a trophy-whore isn't difficult for someone that gets free copies of games all the time. >.>

It's not just that, it's the fact he is being contradictory, he complains about all these 'issues' in games saying how they effect his immersion etc and then he goes on to say that "I perfectly enjoy them all. Even the shitty looking ones."
 
BTW the fact that the audio assets on the demo may have some extra data compression to save space is not my only issue with the audio, it's also to do with the dynamic range of the audio mix, or COMPLETE lack thereof I should say. That and the fact that the dialogue is turned WAY down and is being drowned out even more so by loud music coming out of the rear speakers.. Quite a few other games have that issue with dialogue too.

And again before you reply with the predictable, it's not my system because movies sound FINE on it and some games like MGS 4 have no mix problems.

Oh please, you were on his case long before that, nor is that what really bothers you. You just can't deal with the game being slammed for issues that are major issues to some players, such as TTP and to a lesser degree myself. If it wasn't clear before, it's made blatantly obvious by your "rain on the parade" comment. Just be happy that the issues don't bother you, and stick with that.
