Happenstance Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Quote We’ve just received our review copy of The Last of Us Remastered, and can confirm that there’s a benefit to playing with the 30 frames per second lock enabled (accessible via the Display Options). If you enable this option, not only will the frame rate never dip below 30 throughout your experience, but “higher quality shadows in-game” will be enabled. http://www.craveonline.co.uk/gaming/articles/731411-the-30-fps-lock-in-the-last-of-us-remastered-enables-higher-quality-shadows-in-game#/slide/1
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I'm not hugely familiar with the technical aspect of games or films. What is the benefit of going for 30fps instead of 60 or vice versa? I assume that 60 will look smoother but may result in a high probability of frame drops, right? /n00b

I assume that 60 will look smoother but may result in a high probability of frame drops, right? /n00b 60fps not only looks smoother but plays smoother because the game only pulls instructions from a controller every time a new frame is rendered. If twice as many frames are being rendered, controlling the game will feel twice as responsive and immediate since the game is polling the controller twice as many times. At the same time, 30fps has a more filmic weight to it. Films run at 24fps. It gives movement a weighty inertia, and watching films shot in 60fps is just fucking weird because movement looks far too fluid (you'll know what I mean if you've seen Public Enemies). For reference compare MGS5: Ground Zeroes to Killzone. Certain games are better in 60fps (F-Zero, First Person Shooters) others that are more cinematic rather than twitch heavy gameplay wise are fine with 30.
dwarf Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Wipeout HD remains the smoothest, most fluid game I've ever played. No doubt that was due to the 60fps.

drahkon Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Think I'll trade in Dragon's Dogma (PS+ gave me a free copy : peace:) and Watch Dogs (have done almost everything, but can't be bothered a bout two trophies) for the Gamestop offer. I'll get the game at no extra cost then.
S.C.G Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I've already paid for this on ShopTo... now all I have to do is wait for it to arrive and make sure that I actually play the game from start to finish this time. In fairness The Last of Us was the game that nearly killed my original PS3 and by the time I'd replaced it with my - now defunct - PS3 Slim I kind of lost momentum/moved onto other games. This time though, this time! I'm all in for it! : peace:
Jimbob Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Shopto have charged my account, just waiting for the dispatch notice and the weekend awaits. Finally getting to play what everyone says is a classic.
Cube Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Here's a special event that Sony did: a live performance of the cutscenes in the game (Obviously, only watch if you've finished the game)
drahkon Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I have the game. : peace: Can't wait to see how it looks. And this time I'll finish it!

Played it when I started university and kinda had other things going on then. I figured the game needed a lot more attention I could've given it, so I stopped. Reveal hidden contents I knew what was going to happen...still my eyes watered up, again Some screenshots (all from the opening; some less spoiling, others HUGELY; I'll make it obvious): It begins. Even the main menu looks incredible. Reveal hidden contents Reveal hidden contents DO NOT LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING PICTURES, UNLESS YOU PLAYED THE OPENING SEQUENCE Reveal hidden contents The remaster looks great. Stunning, really. Can't wait to see what Naughty Dog has up their sleeves for Uncharted. I can only imagine what they are capable of doing with the PS4. Also: I will abuse the Photo Mode button!

dwarf Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 broooooooooooooo Anyone know why my browser (Chrome) aint showing those properly? When I URL each one they work individually.
Sheikah Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) They don't work for me either. They're those kind of crappy links that send you to a web page with the image on it rather than directly to the image. Try clicking the image again when you follow those links and pull the direct image URLs. Edited July 30, 2014 by Sheikah
Cube Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 @drahkon The site probably doesn't allow hotlinks. It works for you as the images are in your cache.

Cube Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Interesting: http://s16.postimg.org/kdnkjh3mc/The_Last_of_Us_Remastered_20140730112936.jpg http://s16.postimg.org/b5vc2rwk4/The_Last_of_Us_Remastered_20140730112936.jpg Those are both links to the same image. The top one is a redirect. Notice that the code is different. It looks like Postimg change the code of the image, changing previous links into redirects. http://imgur.com/ is a hugely popular image host at the moment.
Cookyman Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 If you want to see how good photo mode is then check out the neogaf photo thread here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=863461 You'll find some utterly stunning pics and remember photo mode only works in game not in cutscenes so I can only imagine how good Uncharted will look! Here are a few to whet your appetite. Reveal hidden contents
drahkon Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Hm. Weird. Never had that problem with postimage. Well, here I go with imgur. Avoid all of the following pictures if you want to go into the game COMPLETELY FRESH Alright, first some images with huge spoilers, so DO NOT WATCH UNLESS YOU'VE PLAYED THE OPENING SEQUENCE Reveal hidden contents Now some slightly graphic pictures; maybe not family friendly; may contain spoilers if somebody doesn't know characters/enemies/environments Reveal hidden contents A couple of Photo Mode pictures. may contain spoilers (not particularly story, but environment/characters/enemies Reveal hidden contents
Sheikah Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 drahkon said: I did Oo Like Cube touched on, when I pasted your links into my address bar it sent me to the image host with a large thumbnail of the image. I then left clicked the image which linked me to just the full sized image, then right clicked that large image to copy that image URL. The image URL I got back from doing that was different to the one for the particular image you posted.
drahkon Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Well, I used imgur now. Hope that works : peace: Edit: New screens. Obvious enemy/environment/character spoiler warning (nothing too serious, though) Reveal hidden contents Reveal hidden contents Reveal hidden contents What are you lookin' at? Herp derp.
