Naughty Dog produced games don’t work on my PS3

SchollA from Console ControllUs - where the console controls us writes:

It’s ironic as well as disheartening that one of my favorite developers this gen Naughty Dog, the creators of Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3 and the The Last of Us; thus my favorite games don’t work on my console sometimes. It’s a true hit or miss when I insert these games into my PS3. Let me explain.

If you have a Super Slim, that could be why. Those things are really poorly made. The Slim is the best bet when going for a PS3. Followed by the 'tank' original model lol. My 60 GB lasted for like 6 years or something.

I cannot get Uncharted 3 to work sometimes.

teflontactics3740d ago

Sounds like a defective PS3 to be honest; I know ND games tend to fill a Blu-Ray disc while a lot of others don't (whether it be one or two-layered). That said, it could be issues related to where the laser needs to move - being further for ND games than most others.

I'd love to know for sure though, sounds like a strange issue.

Emilio_Estevez3739d ago

I'm fairly certain the different colored disk means it's dual layered (~50gb opposed to the normal ~25). I think only (or at least mostly) 1st party devs use those disks. I'd bet if you tried KZ3 for example it would do the same thing. Most multi's don't use that much of the disk so it's cheaper to go with the standard disk.

This basically says your drive is faulty:

It sounds like a problem with your bluray drive reading dual layer discs. U2,U3and TLOU all use them. Naughty Dog games are HUGE and the cinematics and/or the multiplayer is on a separate layer of the disc. It is very rare in the industry because most games are multiplat and have to fit on DVD for 360 and also the prerendered cinematics take up a lot of space. Anyway contact sony about it they may be able to repair or replace your drive.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast77d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs74d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast74d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs73d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast73d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer77d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6977d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger122d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2377d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid121d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast121d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
