PS3 Condemned 2 Has Audio Issues

tidus04 | March 30, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Gamers on the Sega Forum's have posted reports that in the first level of Condemned 2: Bloodshot for the Playstation 3 there are times when the audio has the tendency to drop or even be lost for a set time.

Sega have said to be investigating the cause to find a solution but for now suggest to gamers to use the standard AV cable, instead of the HDMI cable whilst they sort it out and release a patch.

Players of the PlayStation 3 version of Condemned 2: Bloodshot are reporting that the game's audio has a tendency to drop out or "snap," particularly during the first level.

According to a post on Sega's forums, Sega is currently investigating the cause of the problem, but suggests that using a standard AV cable, instead of an HDMI cable, should fix things in the mean time.

The audio is an integral part of Condemned 2's gloomy and creepy atmosphere. Having it drop out every thirty seconds, as some reports claim is happening with the PS3 version, would all but ruin the immersion and experience. Hopefully Sega will release a patch to solve the problem soon.

  Let's hope not. Otherwise fanboys will be holding this over our heads for ages.

HDMI cable is the problem? No wonder I didn't experience any of that.

Let the fanboys do whatever the *bleep* they want, just watch as they exaggerate the issues, then you can come in and embarass them in how moronic they made themselves look.

  True. But doesn't mean they're any less annoying. Well, let's hope this gets fixed; I really liked the demo, I'd hate to buy and have it all buggy.

How does the HDMI cable effect things ? I thought the HDMI was to to with the Game graphics not audio.

  The HDMI connection transmits the picture as well as the sound.

I got the game, trust me...there is NO bug or glitch. The sound is barely even an issue, you won't be disappointed at all.

The game shouldn't came out for PS3 at all.
See what I mean, Red? I'm not even gonna try here, because that comment is embarassing enough as it is.

Edit: I was merely pointing out the inevitable fanboy remark, not accusing you.

  Who gives a shit if it a multiplatform? Bet you can't even find a decent reason why they shouldn't have made it multiplatform besides the fact that it was just a fanboy remark.

  Neg, it was never a 360 exclusive, came out on PC too fool.

    To be fair, no one really counts PC games when it comes to exclusives.

      You're *bleep*ed .
      
      That means everything. It means the difference between me needing to buy a 360 or not when nearly everyone here has a PC and most have one that's able to play these games, whether it's on high settings or not.
      
      Gears of War, Condemned, Mass Effect, Halo even, why should I even buy a 360?

      Right so, Halo 1 wasn't an Xbox shifter? And FFVII wasn't a reason to buy a PSone? Oh and no one bought a PS2 because of MGS2? Gears of War didn't sell any 360's?
      
      kk np.

      That's because these games always come out on 360 first, then PC. So most people get it on 360 first, and the stragglers, who are usually a minority, get it for PC later on.
      
      So yes, despite it being on PC as well, it's primarily a 360 game (since 360 games almost always get PC ports).
