Managed to activate photo mode at the last possible second after getting grabbed by a bloater. Evidently Joel's face turns into Raptor's anus.

Yup, I went Gun Sway -> Max Health -> Gun Sway -> Max Health -> Shiv Master. The other upgrades are essentially worthless.

Lol. That was the first part I got stuck on. I had to retry 5 or 6 times until I finally got it. I've managed to do 2 silent takedowns in the spot, but that leaves 2 runners and a clicker. It's hard because you have 7 bullets between the 9mm and revolver. You have a wodden pallet, but that's still 4 hits to kill just one enemy, they'll chomp your ass by the time your done, so you better use that thing quick. So from here, you have to use your guns. If you have the revolver out, there's a soldiers body with 3 bullets on the second floor towards your exit. You HAVE to use those, or else face the horror that is slowly switching weapons while runners are running towards you.
I can feel the tension coming back just writing this. And it's in the first hour of the game. Fuck.

Yeah, I agree.
Also that shaking the controller to make the flashlight work is completly amazing, I love it a lot, when it first appeard on screen what I had to do and did it and the flashlight turned on again I smiled.
Then again I was one of the few that liked the Spray painting in Second Son, I even hold it sideways and all
Same! They're nice little additions that may be "gimmicky" but just add a tiny bit more to the experience. Also love that the "click" flashlight sound off/on plays out the speaker.

Corrinne Yu from Naughty dog just tweeted to me a comprehensive explanation on the "aggressive fade distances". A lot of technical stuff I don't fully understand, but it sounds like it was a learning process for them on coding for the PS4. I'm sorry, I don't know how to embed twitter images, so just check out her twitter feed for the latest tweets. If someone can post images of these tweets I'd really appreciate it. There are several to me about this issue:

You're awesome, antitrop. I've seen you around these boards plenty enough to know this.
She also added an aside about the reason it's not a simple fix in an update.
He likes Wolfenstein tho, nobody is perfect.

Embedding draw distance within the texture itself? Interesting implementation.
I love Wolfenstein.
Expensive as in the patch would be an unreasonable size to download and that people would make threads on GAF complaining about it.

I should note that there's a very thorough and comprehensive technical explanation in her twitter feed that's not shown in the image or the link.

Guardians and this in the same week make this like the best week of 2014.
I've never heard of that as a technique.
You, my friend. Are in for a treat.

Go to her twitter feed, she also said that such an update would be massive and take forever for people to download.
Found the rest:

You and I both.
Damn I'm really interested in how that's done now. If anyone knows what sort of technique is going on PM me, I'm doing dissertation next year so everything is interesting to me at the minute.

hey guys - is it worth me wasting shivs on clickers? thats the only way to kill them after sneaking up right?
should i be trying to kill everything/clear whole area? or better to sneak around and save resources?
(playing on hard w/o listening)

Bricks are your friend. They just attract attention. Attention easily burned away with some well placed fire.

Gotcha. I would for sure go with health (when needed) and sway second.
If you can sneak up to them a brick will do the job as well but that alerts all other enemies if there are any as well. Saves the shivs for doors or when bricks aren't available but they are generally plentiful.

On lower difficulties like hard it isn't bad using one on them every once in a while. I recommend never using them on survivor and Grounded since parts for them are so scarce and better used on doors.

I'm sure you guys already know this but the Target $10 off in-store pick-up dealeo is working now.
Maybe they're embedding something in the least significant bits of the RGB components?

Got the exact same thing myself haha
Don't you need shiv master to stealth attack clickers? and it'll use the whole shiv (even if you've upgraded your shive to have more durability). I think the second shiv master upgrade lets you stealth kill clickers only using one shiv durability 'chunk' (so like stealth killing normal enemies), but that's a lot of pills..
I don't think it is needed (I'd upgrade health and maybe weapon sway first). Single clickers can be avoided, and groups can be attracted to a spot with a bottle/brick, and then molotoved (or just avoid them)
Yeah I read to quickly. I wasn't being sarcastic in my last post though.

You should have watched AngryJoe streaming this two days ago. He died 25 times in that spot on hard and screamed every time.
Sweet mother of god I finally beat the part in Winter
on Grounded. Fuuuuck that was hard. I must've died at least 50 times. When the final Runner went down I had exactly 0 ammo on me and no bombs or molotovs. So glad it was over ;^;
I seriously hope the next section will be going smoother because I got stuck there for a while on my Hard playthrough as well.

This is why I'm not playing on Grounded....I know I will quit at that part and never finish the game haha.

This is really cool. Impressive that they went from 67ms to 16 within a couple weeks. Uncharted is going to be all kinds of nuts.
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
I would rather have a slot to carry an extra brick or bottle. I'm playing on Grounded difficulty and I'm relying more on these and the stealth / environment far more than guns.

Nope. Shiv master is needed to break away from one of they grab you. Clickers are easy to outsmart by getting a good distance away and standing still. Brick/bottle plus a melee weapon is a auto kill. Shiv master will be the last thing I upgrade.

No, you can shiv a Clicker with stealth anytime with no upgrades. Shiv Master gives you an out if you are grabbed by a clicker.

It's kind of crazy how much I'm enjoying this game. Borrowed my buddy's PS3 copy and got bored after the Robert section at the beginning of the game, but last night I couldn't stop playing and finally unglued myself from the TV at 2:30 in the morning. Pretty much went from navigating
to
.
Whoever was recommending Hard + Listen disabled for a first playthrough was dead on. The amount of tensioning when dealing with the infected is insane.
Edit: for clarification, borrowed my buddy's game about a year ago and am now playing with my own PS4 copy.

lol@ the comments about 30 fps on the last page. God I love that ND did this. 30fps getting exposed.
The world needs that 60fps standard.
