Try cycling the power on your controller. I'm uncertain if it works like previous generation controllers (analog calibration at startup), but it's worth a check. If, for some reason, the R2 button was slightly depressed while the machine was starting up, it may have screwed up its calibration.

I love the final design of Drake. ~_~

Infamous, is one of my most anticipated games of 2008, as well. Too bad, the media is not covering it, but that could be a good thing. Have you seen the teaser trailer for it? You know what? We should have a separate thread for this. But the atmosphere in that game is something to behold. Looks like it will be quite story driven as well. In a way, it reminds me of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, if you know what I mean.
Between Insomniac, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch, I think the PS3 developers have us covered. I cannot help but smile as each delivers one awesome game after another.dammitmattt said:
Will you ever stop? It is quite easy to see that the 'The Sites that should not be named' are all connected. Look at their listings/archive of reviews. They are the same across the board. Even their policies are identical. But either way, those sites have never had any credibility with me. I do not think they are following their own regulations. They try to pick quality reviews to be added, but that is obviously not the case anymore. Plus, they don't even include world wide publications, let along some certain official magazines. So, in a way, I am happy the sites are being boycott in the first place.

Conspiracy? He's 100% correct in that Sony are pretty bad at web/viral marketing and generally building hype over their games with the hardcore userbase. Microsoft is (and always was) doing much better job there.dammitmattt said:
I could probably list for hours things that Sony should be doing, that they are not.

Naughty dog's engine is crazy! I reckon these models are as detailed as the models used to render FMV in the last gen.
the facial animations look so real and these aren't even mo-caps!

Those are CG renders though, not in-engine renders.the_id said:

I would say that is an accurate statement. I still remember Microsoft's E3s press conference. They were too busy trying to sell all their games to all people: telling them why everybody should have 'this' game. Because of it, it is hard for them to build a hardcore userbase. They should be focusing on selling the game to types of people. That way we get more new IPs.
the_id said:
Hell yeah. The graphics look better than mostly every single CG scene of the last generation. Matter of fact, I was watching my brother play Final Fantasy X last night, and I think Naughty Dog is indeed correct when they stated we have finally reached that level where we can play through and have a seamless movie experience.

I asked the same thing on Beyond3D and one designer from Naughty Dog actually replied there. The ingame model has less polygons and uses normal maps to "replace" some polygons. They used that model as a target. Lemme see if I can find the thread.

Absolutely, very close, but you can see that the quality of lighting on those renders is still better than anything in the game. Keep in mind, that's one very high quality render, done using latest offline render tech, and maybe even hand-painted over for extra detail.the_id said:

How is that conspiracy theory matt? I think it's pretty clear that Microsoft knows how to work the web - it's all legit with getting these scores onto g**********....and the evidence for this is them quoting g********** in their press release. I doubt Sony's ever even heard of these types of sites. I mean they've only just had a playstation blog, and before that had the lame Threespeech...no conspiracies here. Sony just don't know what they're doing with the web.dammitmattt said:
Hi MM...you're actually wrong in this case. That original render by Richard was the target render...but the one i posted...and all the colour ones are the IN_GAME models with different lighting. You can tell by the polygon edges of the shirt. Compare it to the colour model of Novarro...this is all explained on Rich's website and in the introduction to ripten's story.Metalmurphy said:
No you're wrong. SONY needs to change their web practices. I'm not talking about moneyhats at all here....I'm talking about Microsoft employees making sure the best reviews for their games get onto review rankings sites.Basch said:Exactly! And that is why I listen to developers instead.
deepbrown said:
But I don't like 'The Sites that should not be named.'
At least until they fix their policies. If Sony could buy out IGN and have them host their own ranking archive system, I might like that one better. I understand in reference to sales, but my opinion still stands.oo Kosma oo said:
Eh, I wouldn't say that. By genre type, they have similarities, but Infamous seems more like an open action/adventure game with a darker story. Sounds like you can make choices similar to that of Mass Effect.
J-Rzez said:
Yeah, both of them. :lol What happens if Sucker Punch decides to name their main character Nathan as well?
oo Kosma oo said:
Uncharted first, everything else second rawr.
I think Infamous will have a much more dramatic and involving story with more memorable characters than Crackdown ever did, Suckerpunch just isn't the type of developer that makes these "oh here you go mess around with the game mechanics we ain't gonna put that much content in" kind of games. I think that's where I'm drawing the comparison with Naughty Dog, not that Uncharted isn't a more linear title or that Infamous isn't a more sandboxy game per se. ~_~
oo Kosma oo said:
I guess, but I like the way their steering the game. As long as it is story driven, I'm okay with it. The last thing I would want is to play a game where I feel the objective/missions don't have any lasting impact. Not saying Crackdown doesn't (I am very interested in the game in fact). The real question we should all be asking is when will they reveal more?

I bought a HDMI cable yesterday for the hell of it and was testing out some games and was surprised to see how much an improvement there is with Uncharted. I may be just fooling myself here but it really does seem like there's a noticable difference, particularly in the already beautiful Customs house area. Everything just seems to pop.
You know what? I think I discovered something new about Infamous. If you notice in the far right of the picture below, there is a billboard that is lit up by three lights...
The billboard reads TEAM TORQUEMADA. I put this in various search engines but ended up with Wikipedia for the one that offered the most information (go figure ). One of the articles is of a comic featuring Torquemada as the main villain, and the other is about the fifteenth century Spanish Dominican. I wonder if this relates to the story somehow. What are your guys' thoughts?

Did anyone ever post any more from the Edge review? Got my copy today..they were fairly effusive in their praise for it.
Damn you, now I have to look up the word effusive.
