ALMOST got my PS4 today especially when it comes with a free title like KZ, Infamous, Injustice or Fifa. Buying an extra controller would net me a free 1 year PS+ subsciption (unfortunately it's only for the HK store) but damn me if GAF almost had me to get this game especially since I held out buying Left Behind for this specific reason.
Yeah, hard doesn't seem to reduce items much at all compared to my normal playthrough. I did the same as you - basically avoided using my gun at all if possible - when you

I had major issues with crushed blacks on the subway and also the Capitol building. Practically blind through there. Tv is calibrated and the gamma adjustment in the game showed all levels just fine.

Yet Game Mode usually introduces things like...
And that was just from my very first google search.
Notice most of the issues with game mode are color related. So no, Game Mode is usually never good, a properly calibrated TV is what is good. Game Mode almost always crushes the blacks and over saturates shit. You can, and would remove, all post processing with a properly calibrated TV.
So okay, do you have a Plasma? Because most of the comments I read seem to be people who have a plasma.
So since the majority of people do not seem to be having issues, I am just trying to logically deduce what the issue could be.
Therefore I came up with two deductions.
Bad calibrations.
Or Plasma TV's themselves.
I would hope for all of your sake it is not plasmas cause I would imagine a fix for that is not super easy, but who knows.
Again, I was not trying to sound like a douche, but if there was an issue with the games Gamma and it was widespread would it not be known by now?
Sorry to hear people are having issues with the games gamma.

So I said yesterday that 30fps was the way to go for me "I want all the bells and whistles nice shadows etc", HAHA nope.
I switched it down from 60fps and call me fucking shocked, I'll leave it as it is. Much better at 60fps my god. I also turned down my TV's backlight from max to 1 and my contrast from max to about 71, has made my image 10 times better.

I have a professionally calibrated panny plasma. The rgb setting are absolutely correct on both the tv and my ps4. The escape from Boston portion of the game was completely washed out...

How did the install last way more than 15 minutes when you re-installed it? I've deleted and reinstalled it, everything took the same amount of time and the problem remains.

Yep i have a plasma. It's ok i would probably think the same if i was in your position, it's a very weird issue that i've never encountered before.

Guys how far am I in the game?
I just got to the hydroelectric power plant
If you look at your save file it should give you a %. I think it's generally pretty accurate.
Edit: So basically click load game and press the options button on a save file and select information.
You can find shivs, but for the most part you have to craft them, and you'll need them to unlock doors that can only be unlocked by shivs.
Well there's definitely something wrong with the 30fps implementation in this game. Panning the camera in that mode feels like you're dragging it through mud.
The gamma issue definitely seems to be isolated to plasma TVs. This port really doesn't feel like it has the ND polish and pedigree put into it. Way too many issues by their standards.

It's def not a plasma only issue.... I have an LCD, tried PS3 version and don't have the issue. Never had a brightness/gamma issue on a game/movie. I also recorded the thing on twitch to see if I can see this on my PC Monitor, same thing happened, blacks = light grey (downtown part only), loading and pause screens blacks are fine though, hope Naughty Dog fixes this...
My Twitch PROOF: http://www.twitch.tv/jakeellis01/b/552804618
as you can see the blacks are fine at: 11:50
the gamma issue starts at the elevator scene excatly: 12:30 you can see the blacks brighten up and there are no real blacks anymore, just greys, you can especially see this at 13:55
isn't this proof enough that this a game issue? and nothing to do with TV Calibration/Settings?
Naughty Dog.... pls fix this ;'{

Well....if you want a roundabout estimate. You are in FALL out of SUMMER, FALL, WINTER, SPRING...
If you want precise...go to your saves and it should have a percentage.
This is what I thought also. The PS3 version does not look like that. But Hey, at least they got the 60fps right!

For me, the game started slow, but since it's picked up it's been hard for me to put down. I gotta say, I can't recall the last time a game evoked any emotion out of me, but I've just gotten to the scene where
and it made me wanna choke up. Really powerful scene.
Sam turns, and Henry... well yeah.
I thought this too but yesterday I fired the game up not realizing that I had locked the framerate the night before for the vita. The game at 30fps seemed Ok .. nothing really off about but the aiming didn't feel right so i went into the options to see if 30fps lock was enabled and it was. I switched to 60fps and was like OMGGGGG. Not only is the game more responsive but the clarity of the image increases substantially! 60fps is not only superior for latency it is superior for image quality as well.

I kept hearing about that section and was worried about it, but I got it first try.
Just memorize the route back to the stairs, hit the generator and immediately do a 180 turn, then book it back to the stairs. You should only have to kill one runner and then you'll be home free.
Yes it is a great scene and the immediate cut
to the black screen with "Fall" in the corner

Naughty Dog loves me.
I got no response last night but you have better documentation.
I'd tweet ND and ask them wtf is up.
Hopefully they are aware of the gamma issue. There's nothing broken with my with my calibration. I'm went though D-Nice's panel aging procedure and applied his settings to my VT60. There is no color space mismatch going on between my display and the PS4 either. RGB range is set to limited for both my PS4 and display.

Add me to the list of people who have a problem with the lighting.
The section with the sunken subway cars was almost unplayable. In fact, if I hadn't already played it on my PS3, I might not have been able to figure out what to do or what I was supposed to be looking for.
It was just a yellow haze. There wasn't much variation in the degree of lighting. Looked pretty terrible.
And I do not have a plasma, I have a Samsung LCD that's less than a year old. The same TV I played this game on last summer, on PS3, and I don't remember this lighting problem.

Early thoughts (maybe 2 hours in, tops):
- voice acting in this game is great
- astonished they created something similar looking on ps3; great atmosphere
- stealth element is well-executed
- animation glitches here and there take me out of the game
- the shadow thing hasn't been a big deal thus far
- facial animations are a little too subtle to be really effective, but that's a last-gen limitation that will hopefully be resolved in a legit PS4 title
-
So far, so good. Positives greatly outweigh the negatives.

Been playing a bit today and arrived at the part where you're in
All I can say is OMG
I'm playing on Survivor I think? Phewww... I
Game is amazing.
hotel basement with the generator when you meet the stalkers
I'm playing on Survivor I think? Phewww... I
turned on the generator on and ran like hell!
Game is amazing.
The only part where I thought something was wrong with the gamma of the game was when
I thought that was normal.
It doesn't bother me, I have Full range on my PS4 and my Panny Plasma.
you get out of the tunnel when you first get out to the city with Ellie and Tess, Joel looks lifting a piece of wood and there it looks completly washed out and the lighting was weird.

I really hope ND fixes those gamma issues soon. Luckily my tv/game/? doesn't seem to be affected but I can imagine it sucks to those who are.
So.. I just got to the part in winter with
where you fight off
on Grounded difficulty.
Wish me luck :'(

Playing on survivor trying to conserve ammo and items as much as possible. I am to the part
where you escape Pittsburgh and I cannot get passed it. I can stealth kill the three guys easy enough but the second I try to turn off the generator like 5 or six people come down. I am thinking I will just have to use a molotov to take out a few but would rather save it for bigger enemies.
LATE GAME SPOILERS
edit: ok nevermind third time restarting it worked!
Hello it would appear that I have encountered a glitch during the spring time in the water room puzzle where Ellie will not walk onto the wood paddle. I have restarted and she simply refused to walk on the wood paddle. help

First time playing this game...
I'm stuck at the part trying to take out the clickers in the collapsed office building (just joined up with Ellie) but so far I'm having a blast. Game is phenomenal in every single aspect.

I have a super handy trick for this. You dont have to use any ammo or bombs or molotovs for this - just stealth. I got stuck here too until I tried this:
- Kill the two dudes at the start
- Go to the left into the field and slowly move forwards taking cover
- Kill the patrolling dude by choking him near the gate (make sure the dude near the searchlight doesnt see you)
- Now turn off the generator
- Move to your right, near the gate and hide against the wall here (the platform where the enemies jump down from)
- Once an enemy jumps down, quickly choke him. Repeat for all next enemies (you have just enough time to finish the choke animation)
The last dudes will come searching and you can take them out silently when they come near.

I did this on grounded difficulty and it worked perfectly!
I had issues with that as well on my survivor run last time and I never found a way to easily kill the last guys without alerting anyone else.
Those guys on the scaffold right above the generator suck.
Really? I think the party matchmaking is a bit messed up, but once it gets going it GOES and playing with some friends, some GAF folk, and alone in no-party has been a lot of fun. It's not for everyone, though.
BTW, this is the reversible cover:
There have been times where I've gotten games with no reversible cover too. I'm in Canada though. Any canadian gaffers get this and have this cover ?
My copy from amazon.ca has English/French packaging with the reversible cover.

Anyone know if there is a button press that shortens the strangle.
The fastest stealth takedown I've encountered is when a pistol is equipped and you can grab them and pistol whip them twice they go down. It's a few seconds faster than the strangle animation.
