I am running into the same issue. Black screen after beating Craig, left the tower, changed buddy to Kyle but once I go back into the area where I just beat Craig and go up the stairway then the black screen shows up with no option to go to a menu or change my buddy. I hear music playing but nothing else and when I hit the PS button on the controller it takes about 5 minutes before those options come up (ie: Quit Game, look at Trophies, etc). I went through the game as fast as I could (a little over 4 hours) so I could just get my last trophy for 100% completion of the game. Any word on the patch?
