Forums - Sony - Uncharted 2 single player causing PS3's to overheat

We have 4 Uncharted threads on the front page. Isn't that the point of the official thread?

Do you think it could just be coincidence?

Isn't this the first big exclusive in quite a while? There have been other recent big games for the PS3, but Uncharted 2 probably has the most people playing their PS3 at the same time and some of those are bound to overheat.

I don't think so. It's specifically happening to people during the single player mode.

I think it's good to let people know about this instead of it getting lost in the asscrack of the official.



^agreed, Steroid.



I haven't had this happen while playing through the campaign and I have a launch 60gb. While I didn't play through the whole game in one sitting like I did recently with Arkham Asylum, I'd say I went through more than half of the campaign in one day with only a one hour break part way through.

Yep I got through a good portion of the game without a hitch. Then I got my first freeze on the train scene which was no biggie. But this last freeze actually shut down the console and it started flashing that red light. The weird thing is that it wasn't a particularly intense scene. Actually it happened while I was looking at Drakes journal.

 

What else is weird is that the PS3's fans weren't even spinning. As I said it's really cool in my house. My honest opinion? Is that the game is actually putting too much pressure on the cell itself. It wasn't the system that was hot but the processer. Just to be sure I actually tested my PS3 fans (which is a feature I think is only on the 40 gig models), they are working fine.



Well... Drake's journal is full of awesome...

You don't have to worry about it freezing. You need to worry about it overheating. Some people don't pay attention to the thread
