You were playing on a CRT with no input lag.
Someone said you have a four frame window. My TV has 45ms of lag, which is not the best, but far from the worst and better than many plasmas.
That's about three frames at 60fps. So now I have a one frame window instead of four. If the window starts as they start drawing the first frame of green instead of after then I effectively have no window.
Basically, I've just been guessing so far because trying to time it is automatic death every time, while I'm about 33% on just guessing when it will be green while it's red.

I underestimated this game. I suddenly went from 0 to 49 casualties within 10 minutes of playtime and I haven't even seen any Mudokon during that period.

Just finished the 2nd chapter with all the Mukodons! I don't know how I'm going to get that trophy I've already taken 2 hours on two chapters.

I always play on "gaming mode" (Just released bravia) while gaming, and I play a lot Tekken Tag 2 and that's a super sensitive timing game, the tv is ok. After watching this video of the original game , there seems to be a difference on the timing, Im playing on hard BTW.


Anyway, I got the timing figured it out now and I'm really enjoining the game, its beautiful.

I only wish the game where 60fps, the game does suffer from dips but never to the point of affecting game play. I wonder if that's unity's problem.

When you remote-play it seems like Quick Load doesn't work via the touchscreen.

On DS4 you press once to quick save (that works on Vita as well) but holding the touchscreen doesn't.

But there was no guessing...
Lights blink in patterns. Like red, red, red, green, red, red, green and back to square one.
Also sound fx are different for red and green.

This is for original PS1, but I imagine they didn't change that system?

They didn't. Just listen for the beep and deactivate the mine while it's red. By the time your paw touches it, it hits it right at green.

Can anybody confirm the number of Mudokons is
70 Mudokons
in the first area? I don't want to leave until I am sure and if I understand the map I have them all.

Edit: I loaded the save when I messed up and that is the number. :)

Gah... Being in Aussie land is the worst for this. I can never work out when it will update and be up. Keep refreshing the store to see it. Must download ASAP... Can't wait much longer... Hearing reviews and impressions is making me way to impatient!

On my setup the audio is delayed to match the video. I guess I'll eventually figure out what it looks and sounds like 45ms before the change.
But are you saying there was a control delay on PSone?

Depending on which Bravia it is it may have only one frame of lag.
But I was already assuming game mode was on.

I have a Bravia too, and I think I've pretty much gotten the timing for the bombs down. I managed to get it three times in a row via quikloading so I think I'm good.

Had to get this the moment it came out. It is so different from other games. When you play it, you feel like you've been transported to a different place in time. Not a time we are familiar with, but a time that could have happened if we went in a different direction. The characters are all so very original. I've never seen any of species much like the mudokons. I could go on and on. See it for yourself.

Hey guys,
Are you playing the SCEA or SCEE version?

Also, do you have the SCEA Day 1 patch installed?

My project manager tells me this was an issue that was being addressed in the Day 1 patch.

Cheers

Sorry if it was already communicated, but I couldn't find anything.
Any ETA for the PS3/Vita versions?

We filthy europeans are still waiting, so I assume all those reports are coming from the SCEA version.

Bombs....


Bombs, brehs. Like the hardest enemy in the game.

I can get it every time now through experimentation, but the timing makes no sense.

No, the toughest enemy in the game so far is needing to stand in a certain spot with nothing to indicate that. (Or just things not registering. I can't figure out which.)
For example, I spent 20 minutes playing the bells before that door opened.

This is quite annoying being from Australia. We're tied to a completely different time zone for our store and as such we get it two days later. Sigh…
