Did you call the Sony store at the Mississauga Heartland location? They told me they wouldn't be selling it until today and the one in Square One sold it to me yesterday.

Yeah, Heartland said the 19th. Square One all I get is the busy signal.

I got the first copy at my GS as well! :D
I didn't even pre-order or anything...the dude was like "Did you reserve it?"
Me: "Nope..."
GS dude: "Why not?"
Me: "Didn't feel like it."
GS Dude: "Ok, let me see if we have enough copies *walks off for 5 mins*"
GS Dude: "You're lucky, we got one for you."
Me: "OK...thanks?"

I'm unwrapping it as I type...soooo sexy.

All the stores in my area seem to be clueless about this having shipped yesterday. It's amazing to think how much more a person can know about a store's shipments than its employees.

Oh :p You took some in the same areas of an old batch I saw once. And one of them had the most impressive texturing work I've seen in a game so far.

All sarcasms aside this game does have the best textures in a console game so far. I would also say PC but I have a shitty video card so I can't judge.

Yes, there are symbols there, but I think that artifact is one of the artifacts from Indy movies. It is definitely not related to Uncharted as I've had that image looong before Uncharted was even announced.

Yeah, I kinda half-heartedly knew that despite all those reports that "the game will be in all Sony Stores in Canada, it just wouldn't happen here. Where I live, it has never happened that any game was made available early, or 99% of time even on the day of the release.

OMG THANK YOU!
I was watching the video I posted and its so small it doesn't do any justice.

So I just left work and ran to my gamestop (Gaf is a bad influence on me).
The guy was opening a box of them right there. There must have been 50 discs so I ask for one.

GS: Did you reserve one?
Me: Nope.
GS: Ok well here you go (hands me one from the pile). This game has been getting great reviews.
Me: I know Im pretty excited
GS: Well hopefully after I play it I wont feel so screwed.
Me: uh......ok thanks.

"What aspect of the game are you least happy with and why?

Evan Wells: Well this is going to sound strange because it looks so nice, but I'd say the water. And not because there is anything wrong with it but very early in our design stages we wanted to do a lot more fluid dynamics that really affected gameplay. It was cut from the plan very early because of the technological challenges that it presented. But it's something that we want to take another stab at in a future title."

" As a developer, do Naughty Dog feel that optimising code to get rid of immersion-breaking anomalies like tearing etc are high on their list of priorities?

Evan Wells: Hah! I knew the screen tearing question was coming! We obviously take the look of the game very seriously and we want to create the most beautiful experience possible. So we walk a very fine line. We try to put as much on the screen as possible which of course has an impact on the framerate. If the game occasionally slips below 30FPS we have a choice to make... do you want to drop the framerate down to 20FPS or let the screen tear momentarily. We opted for the latter. It happens very infrequently and we feel that the increased number of polygons and effects that we can use outweighs the occasional artifact."

Agreed.

I dont. Both frame drops and tearing are bad. The best solution is to lower the polygon count or the texture quality a bit. Like take away this rock here, that plant over there or have 3 enemies coming from behind the corner rather than 5.

screen tearing in this game really isn't horrible it happens but I would rather have it this way rather then framerate problems.

Our ragdoll I think can stand up with the best of them especially as they interact and the dead bodies float on the water.

I can honestly say I've never seen that in a game before that I can recall. Outstanding.

Dont agree. SOTC. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't bother the majority of gamers. Especially when it's at the level ND have taken it to. So fun over minimal tearing EVERY time.
