    Didn't see anything else. I figure everyone here is always hungry for some game design documentation.

    Went out and found a 108 page Making of SotC PDF right here: http://www.bruno-urbain.com/resources/m ... f_sotc.pdf

    I suggest downloading it (Right Click->Save As), as Firefox doesn't play nice and keeps locking up.

    It's in English, and has pictures. I'm slowly making my way through it and it seems full of both the technical and artistical side of things as to why they chose x and y.

    Hope this helps someone out there.

    What's neat is they also reference HL2:Lost Coast's work on HDR.

    Ah yeah, I remember seeing this as a fairly unorganized web page at some point, better to have it in a PDF. Some really cool and innovative tech they crafted, at least considering that they were doing on the PS2.

    last year i bought a ps2, ico and sotc because i had never played them through properly.

    turns out my monitor doesn't have the connections needed to plug the ps2 into it. mother fucker.

    Yes, you need a TV with a SCART entrance. Afaik, no computer monitor has that entrance.

    Recent monitors have HDMI with HDCP though, which you can use to play PS3 and Xbox360.

    There's some assorted converters that run you ~$60 I think.

    You could also stream it into a videocards s-video I believe but then you get a slight delay between button press and it showing up on screen.
