Well, the demo probably is NTSC only just like the Folklore demo (uploaded in Euro first) was PAL only.
It seems that it's not all the demo that will work from any region. You Euro dudes will have to wait for your own upload it seems.

But PAL is a lower frequency and slightly higher than SD res all you need is a HDTV this isn't comparable.

 

[CloudNL]

we need LOST gif with "Please insert game disc."

:lol

 

[antiloop]

Nope, so far a couple great impressions, none bad yet.

Great. I will read it now then.

 

[Loudninja]

I'm officially selling my PS3.

No, I'm BURNING IT. And I'm robbing Sony's bank and stealing all their money and hoping they fail.

Plus I'm not very pleased with Naughty Dog. They ave said for 2 weeks the demo will be this week, but not once did they say it's only on the US store, and neither did they say it's fucking region locked.

My money stays in my pocket.

yeah right :lol

 

[RubberJohnny]

Uh, A demo for US owners only that can still be downloaded from Europe.

Good going Sony. At the current rate, we'll have the demo mid October.

 

[deepbrown]

Wouldn't the fact that it was only released on the N.A. store and only announced as a N.A. update been enough of an indicator? It's not like they released a non-functioning demo onto the Euro store...

Peh.

 

[joshcryer]

Did anyone try it with HDTV on a PAL system?

 

[Evlar]

mines should be ready when i get home

I <3 remote play

I have my PSP! I'm near a hotspot!

... but I don't have the 2.00 patch yet and my PS3 is off.

 

[BrodiemanTTR]

Argh, the PS Store won't load up for me.

now it's getting good. Keep the meltdowns coming people :lol



can't wait to see real impressions. game looks great.

 

[deepbrown]

yeah right :lol

I'm not joking. Someone swap their Xbox for a ps3. MY PS3. I'll even dust it.

 

[Firewire]

seems like most of the people with uncharted avatars can't even play it.

oh the irony

welcome to my ignore list

 

[CloudNL]

does it still error if you use your US PSN account?

Yes. I can confirm.

 

[Steroyd]

Okay I'm installing... I want to see the Eurownage with my own eyes.

 

[needlesmcgirk]

So funny that you guys are bitching so bad about Sony hating Europe. They didn't put it on the Euro PSN store for a reason, so you expect to be able to create a fake account, which Sony does not want you to do, and download it from another region and are pissed that it doesn't work? Seriously, just wait until they want you to have it.

 

[G-Bus]

I'm surprised by all the PAL users on this board.

uncharted - 3

liverpool - 0

 

[gofreak]

A friend of mine suggested this is a bug due to possibly the game trying to load an SCEE message but the paths were on a disc rather than on the drive. In other words, not intentional. He thinks it's a bug because it makes no sense for it to say "insert game disk."

Well, this is what I'm wondering. If it was a region issue, you think it would fail 'gracefully' with a message indicating so.

Uff. I wish someone with a Japanese PS3 could confirm if it works or not on them. My download is STILL in progress.

 

[Mamesj]

I'm not joking. Someone swap their Xbox for a ps3.

I know. I thought that since Jap and US are both 60 hertz and same resolution that might have worked.

Seriously though, it probably wasn't done on purpose. I bet they didn't test the N.A. demo on anything but a N.A. machine. That's SCEE's job.

If they didn't want other territories downloading the demo then a simple IP block could have sufficed, instead of waiting to download 1.2Gb (and installing it). If it is deliberate of course.

 

[greenry]

How am I supposed to wait for 2 weeks after playing that? Fuck.

Yeah right, than you will not be able to paly the full version , what good what that do?Think about it.:lol

They did what you asked before your edit. READ THE FUCKING THREAD.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Um. I don't think you realize what the problem is.

I came. I saw. I realized. I edit

WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT!

 

[calder]

It started fast, then slowed right down. Just at 50% now. :| When I started it it took about 3 seconds to go up 1MB but for after it slowed down it was over 20 seconds for 1MB. It's picked up a bit, but still only half as fast as it started. Ah well.

What sucks is that the only thing I'd like to be doing while waiting is playing COD4 online. :lol

 

[Kittonwy]

lol why make a thread until you actually play the game?


It must be true. gamers have come to having more fun waiting in line than actually playing.

Teh community aspect of PSN makes it so much better.

 

[kamorra]

Did anyone try it with HDTV on a PAL system?

Yes, I have a HDTV and it doesn't work.

 

[Dante]

More impressions

 

[CloudNL]

STOP WHINING PEOPLE!

Download the demo and what?
Watch "Please insert the game disc."?

Did you read this topic or what?

:lol

 

[Goldrusher]

:| Better work on my Japanese system! You'd think it would fail a little more gracefully if it was a region-locking issue...and that seems bizaare given that Sony doesn't region lock any of their games (and in fact, none are on PS3).

Black screen !

I get the PlayStation 3 logo/tune, then nothing....black screen.

 

[msdstc]

I wouldn't consider HS a flop, seeing as how, hour for hour, I enjoyed that game as much as any this gen.

a flop doesn't mean the game was bad... it means it sold bad, reviews were mixed and it sold pretty lousy. I think this game has far more chance to go mainstream, if it's not AAA than we still don't have one on ps3 yet

 

[Evlar]

If they didn't want other territories downloading the demo then a simple IP block could have sufficed, instead of waiting to download 1.2Gb (and installing it). If it is deliberate of course.

I can't imagine the bitching we'd be hearing if Sony IP-blocked Europe from downloading the demo.

 

[KurowaSan]

i tried everything i could come up with... ;_;

i didn't get any "insert game disc" message. just a black screen


;_______;

 

[besada]

Okay, so the shooting feels like Saint's Row to me, which is good. Precise targeting works well. Enemy damage animations looked a little canned to me, but Nathan looks fabulous. AI is spotty. I've held back a couple of times to see if they'll come at me and try to flank, but I haven't seen anything like that so far.

The game is beautiful and sounds gorgeous. I can hear the birds in the distance even while I'm busting caps on the pirates. I seem to run out of ammo pretty quickly which has caused me to need to run into a firefight empty-handed, beat the snot out of some guy and take his weapon. The combat animations look good, but there's still a sense that they aren't actually touching each other.

When you do nothing, Nathan hunkers down in a squat, looking bored. The water is very nice, although it doesn't seem to flow around Nathan, but he does get wet, which is cool. No problems with the platforming bits at all.

Edit: The screen turns gray as you take damage so by the time you're dead it's all in a fuzzy black and white.

 

[deepbrown]

Yeah right, than you will not be able to paly the full version , what good what that do?Think about it.:lol

I no longer care. I don't want to play it anymore.

Life is not fair, get used to it. Just kidding, how hard is it to make an US account?

Wow the graphix are so good. I'm loving it.

How do you switch the weapons?

I have a fooking US account, it's region locked monkey boy!

Started reading the thread from beginning before the OP was edited. Read that changing language to english fixes it. Then read people whining that they don't wanna create an account. Before reaching the end i decided to post and say "STOP WHINING" in Arnold's accent... Thats when i realized OP is edited.... HUH HUH HUH!

At least it would be instant denial instead of lengthy waits for a download.
