[Hero-of-Time]

Is there an official PSN ID list anywhere of you guys? I want to add some of you (as no one has added me yet! :heh:) but not sure of the IDs

There was on somewhere in this thread but both me and Caris have sold our PS3s so if you find our names then just scratch them off the list. I know both Owen and Dom still have theirs though.

[Marshmellow]

Why did you sell your PS3 HoT?

[Hero-of-Time]

Why did you sell your PS3 HoT?

I sold it about a month after I got it. Basically it was due to the lack of games, I mean there was only Resistance, Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank that I wanted to play. I LOVED Resistance but after that there was nothing for a while so I just sold it. I will pick another 1 up when Metal Gear gets released, still not happy that it got delayed :(

Im pretty happy with what I have got at the moment I mean the Wii and 360 pretty much have me set for the end of the year and beginning of next.

[Marshmellow]

Ai, after owning the PS3 for what 3 months I still have not purchased one game for it... I always choose the Xbox 360 version of the game for the achievements.

Maybe I should sell mine as well, and pick up one later when White Knight or MGS4 comes out... If I sold it here in town I would probably make a profit.

[theguyfromspark]

I'm hoping the PS3 dry spell is over for the time being. Even though I'll be buying all my non exclusives on the 360, I'm hoping for some good experiences on the PS3. Home and Little Big Planet should be fun at the very least.

[Domstercool]

Domstercool is my ID, as like everything else is too!

[m_fergy]

Anyone know when Uncharted - Drakes Fortune is released in the UK ?

[Domstercool]

December 7th if I remember rightly.

[Domstercool]

Wild Arms 5 came in the post for my PS2, So now I've ordered Odin Sphere. I'm trying to catch up on the back catalogue of USA RPGs I missed!

[McMad]

Shadow of the Colossus and Ico.

All of you with PS2s buy those two games.

NOW

[Domstercool]

I have them already :P Finished Shadow when it came out in USA, never finished Ico though :O

[m_fergy]

December 7th if I remember rightly.

Thanks alot :)

[Triple_C]

I've been looking at Okami (£18 at play.com is still a bit expensive) and Shadow of Colossus for a while now, where are they cheap?

[Owen]

I've been looking at Okami (£18 at play.com is still a bit expensive) and Shadow of Colossus for a while now, where are they cheap?

£18 is pretty cheap for them...You could try Ebay though or try and get one pre-owned in a GAME shop maybe?

[Triple_C]

I'm trying to "conserve" money at the moment, so budget games for me!

CAPCOM® ANNOUNCES DEVIL MAY CRY® 4 COLLECTOR'S EDITION

Four Episode Anime DVD, SteelbookTM Case and Bonus Disc Included

Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced the contents of the Devil May Cry® 4 Collector’s Edition package, which includes volume 1 of ADV Films’ Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, a Steelbook™ case and a bonus DVD filled with extras. The $79.99 Devil May Cry 4 Collector’s Edition will be available February 5, 2008, for both the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

The Devil May Cry: The Animated Series anime disc will be packed with the Steelbook case, and will include the first four episodes of the 12 episode anime series. Volume one of the four-disc DVD anime series will be available from ADV Films at the same time the game launches. Inside the case will be a second bonus DVD alongside the game that users can slip into their computers. The bonus DVD will contain a “making of” feature on the game, music from the Devil May Cry 4 soundtrack, a digital art book with images and sketches from the development team, wallpapers, icons and screen savers.

The highly anticipated Devil May Cry 4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with series mainstay Dante. As new leading man Nero players will be able to unleash incredibly powerful and stylish attacks and non-stop combos using a combination of the Devil Bringer arm and the Exceed system, both of which are new gameplay mechanics for the series. Fans of Dante won’t be disappointed as he too will be playable during the course of the game.

Devil May Cry 4 is an epic story where the lines between good and evil are constantly blurred. Taking full advantage of the advanced graphical and processing power of the next-gen systems and Windows PC it draws gamers into the rich and highly detailed world of Fortuna and its surrounds with more enemies than ever before and some of the most breath-taking bosses ever conceived.

Devil May Cry 4 includes the following features:
• From the producer of the original Devil May Cry® and Resident Evil® 4
• 2 playable characters – take control of both Nero & Dante
• High-definition visuals moving at 60 frames per second
• Blend of familiar and new: newcomer Nero clashes with veteran Dante plus appearances from Trish, Lady and others from the DMC series
• Exceed System allows Nero to easily charge up his sword with a throttle effect, revving up to three levels with powerful and varied attack options
• Deep combo system rewards stylish dispatching of enemies
• Unique "Devil Bringer" arm opens up a range of never seen before combo options
• Distinct set of weaponry and moves for Nero and Dante
• New active style change system for Dante allows him to switch styles and weapons on the fly, producing crazy combo possibilities
• Numerous new characters and environments
• Signature blend of guns and swordplay


Devil May Cry 4 Collector’s Edition contains the following extras:
• Volume 1 of ADV Film’s Devil May Cry: The Animated Series on DVD, including four complete episodes of the anime (a retail value of $29.99)
• Unique Steelbook™ metal case
• Bonus DVD
o Making of Devil May Cry 4
o Music from the soundtrack
o Digital artbook
o PC content (screen savers, wallpapers, icons)

Might buy the PS3 collectors edition of this!

Does the PS3 upscale dvds?

Does the PS3 upscale dvds?
Yes, but only over HDMI I believe. Games and burned DVDs can scale over component, though.

New PS2 is on its way.

Live in Japan? Get out that big red magic marker. November 22nd sees the arrival of a redesigned PS2 (SCPH-90000). While rumored to retail for under US $100, the redesigned PS2 will sell for ¥16,000 (US $140) and comes in Charcoal Black, Ceramic White and Satin Silver. The system has apparently been completely overhauled and features an built-in AC adaptator. It's internally powered! While the size is the same as the current PS2, the new one weighs slightly less. There's a special stand peripheral that is going on sale as well for 1,600 ($!4). All this is Japan-Only at the moment, but look forward to the inevitable Western launch. Hopefully at a lower price point!

I'll probably trade in my old PS2 for it. Space saver for sure. :)

Same, then I won't have a problem buying a PAL PS3.

Use the new tinier PS2 for my BC needs, and just get a PS3 for the PS3 games.

New firmware today!

It's not amazing, but it's not dire either!

Loving the new theme, and 'News' bar! Also the PSN store is under a new logo now!

Cool!

[Aimless]

I just thought I'd mention that although there's an Uncharted demo available on the US store, you apparently can't play it on a PAL PS3. Download it? Sure. Play? No.

Genius.

[Marshmellow]

New firmare update is quite nice. Maybe I wont sell it now.

[m_fergy]

Just played the Uncharted - Drakes Fortune demo

Great game

Just pre-ordered it

There's a live action film coming too! So cool! :D

We'd been hearing that Sony's new 40GB PS3 featured a revised design with a 65nm Cell processor and improved cooling, but sadly it looks like those reports were in error -- a Sony spokesperson has told Heise Online that the 40GB model continues to use 90mn processors, but does feature an updated design with a lower power consumption of just 120 to 140 watts, compared to 180 to 200 watts for the older models. Sony says its still planning on moving to 65nm processors in the near future, but for now, it looks like the PS3 is 90nm across the board.

Uncharted is amazing! It's now been made region-free!

[Aimless]

Uncharted is amazing!
Yeah, I was bit worried just from looking at footage, but actually getting to play it has allayed my fears.

It won't be a revolutionary 10/10 game, but it looks to be a very well produced, solid adventure game, a genre that's been sorely ignored so far this generation. I've already played through the demo several times — I've found Hard to be really nicely balanced — and I'm looking forward to the game's release.

It controls wonderfully doesn't it? To me, it just felt extremely easy to navigate Nate and aim, fire etc..

I played a little bit of the demo, but then realised i didn't want to ruin any of the game so stopped playing it! I'm hopefully getting it for Christmas! I do love a good adventure game on Xmas day! :D

[Triple_C]

Any one got this (http://uk.playstation.com/ps2/hardware/accessories/detail/item48490/Component-AV-Cable/) cable? If so does it make the PS2 look any better on a HD TV? (LCD) Because the quality of picture seems worse than on my old CRT TV.

[theguyfromspark]

A little too much shooting in it for me. I've got plenty of shooters and wanted something with a few more platforms and puzzles along the way. I hope the final version is like this.

[Domstercool]

Only way it's going to look better is through the PS3 I'm afraid, or some upscaling device. I run my PS2 games on my PS3 now *strokes emotion engine usa PS3*

[Columnar]

If anyone is looking for some cheap PS2 games I've just put up loads for sale on the trades board including Okami, Tomb Raider Anniversary & Burnout Dominator among others so go have a look-see!!!:)

[Domstercool]

DivX support is coming! FUCK YEAH!!! This is awesome *looks at downloaded tv programs and anime*

Wow, that is making me look at the console again. I could watch really high quality scrubs episodes as soon as they come out stateside in complete comfort. I gotta say, slowly but surely this console is winning me over.

Uncharted just got 9/10 on Eurogamer, better than Assassin's Creed then, lol

Looks like I am gonna get a 3rd Japanese PS2 then..

[Slaggis]

Thw PS3 has outsold the Wii in Japan this week by over 20,000 units (early figures)!

Due to the launch of the new 40GB model which arrived in Japan this week.

[Jordan]

Uncharted is apparently incredibly short.

What is it with the PS3 games this christmas being all flash and very short in length?

[chrizkerr2]

Playable demos of DMC 4 and Resi Evil 5 on Blu Ray "Resident Evil: Extinction"?

After much criticism was levelled at Sony for including a costly Blu-ray player inside its PlayStation 3 console, forthcoming Blu-ray movie release Resident Evil: Extinction is finally going to put it to good use.

The Russell Mulcahy-directed film, which received both commercial and some critical praise during its time at the box office, is to include playable PlayStation 3 demos of forthcoming games Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4.

Due for release in the New Year, the Blu-ray disc will also include innovations such as picture-in-picture video commentary and advanced disc search features that are new to the format.

Rumours also suggest the DVD edition will include trailers of the two games, though this is currently unconfirmed.

[Caris]

Uncharted is apparently incredibly short.

i have heard it's 9-10 from tons of sites, pretty average these days.

[Dante]

Sony halved the fees it charges for a software development kit for the PlayStation 3 video game machine Monday to encourage outside designers to make more games for the struggling console.

Sony Corp.'s gaming unit, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., said prices for the development package for the PlayStation 3 will be reduced to US$10,250 in North America, 950,000 yen (US$8,600; euro5,900) in Japan and euro7,500 (US$11,250) in Europe.

[Domstercool]

Uncharted is apparently incredibly short.

It lasts around 10 hours, which is twice the length of Call of Duty 4, and about the same length as Crysis, not bad really. Tomb Raider isn't really that long too, neither is Gears of War, which this game is a mixture of.

It's been getting great reviews though. I love forward to it in dec, just watched the gametrailers review ^_^

[Jordan]

But apart from Tomb Raider those games have one thing to increase life span. Multiplayer!

[Strider]

Don't think i've ever posted in the other consoles thread.

Anyway, back to the point. I'm thinking of getting a PS3 (40gb version, as i have no ps2 games to play) and i was just wondering, what are the must have games that i should get?

Oh and i will be playing online.

Cheers :)

[Domstercool]

But apart from Tomb Raider those games have one thing to increase life span. Multiplayer!

Well I'm happy with 10 hours of gameplay. It's like I have enough games as it is anyway.

[Aimless]

But apart from Tomb Raider those games have one thing to increase life span. Multiplayer!
Uncharted reportedly has a lot of unlockables that can be bought using points earned through an Achievement-like 'Medal' system: for instance getting 10 headshots gives you some points to spend towards new character skins, developer videos, the ability to flip levels, etcetera. I'll play through it at least twice as there's apparently a new difficulty level to unlock, and I really enjoyed the demo on Hard.

I don't really have much time for multi-player these days, and when I do fancy some I tend to gravitate towards Warhawk. CoD4 is really great online, but much like Halo 3 I find myself strangely reluctant to play the game now that I have all the Achievements. Conventionally they make people persevere with games, but ironically they appear to be killing off titles I might have otherwise played.

[Razz]

I was thinking of getting a Ceramic White PS3 from japan. I know that at the moment all games are region free, but really want concrete assurance that it's gonna stay region free. Also would i be able to connect to the PSstore and play online etc?

Yes and yes to those last two questions. All you would need to do is create an EU account, and as online is free you don't need to worry about not being able to use your credit card or whatever.

Some games lock their online modes by region, I believe, so if you had the Japanese version you would only be able to play against others in that region. However, if you're planning on buying PAL games that shouldn't be an issue.

Technically Sony could start region locking game disks, and I'd imagine the ability is there but with the choice placed on the publisher much the same as Blu-Ray movies. I can't see that situation changing any time soon as the PS3 needs the good press and extra sales, but I wouldn't write it off as an impossibility further down the line.

Whenever you import it is something of a gamble, so really it just comes down to whether you're willing to risk it. I don't think anyone will be able to give you concrete assurances, I'm afraid.

[Marshmellow]

Wouldn't that be awesome!

[Owen]

VGP will be getting black dual shock 3 controllers in! Will they work with my US/UK games now?

[Jordan]

Yeah, if you're on the latest firmware update.

My last comment i made in this thread regarding Uncharted wasn't meant to be fanboyish... if it came off like that.

Games without multiplayer of some sort (unless tacted on a la Prime 2 style) are really a crime. I mean, even if you hardly use it, its something extra from the main game. Not to mention i've heard Uncharted's gun play is quite stella.

And yeah, CoD4 is stupidly short... then again its better to be short than annoying like Assassin's Chore.

[Domstercool]

So Assassin's Creed really does become a chore then? Heh. It's certainly a game I can't play for long periods at a time. I just get bored of it after a while.

[Jordan]

If you don't do everything, its alright. There are some fantastic things in it: the combat is more like rhythm and timing, the free running is great when it works propperly.

But the objectives, the same thing OVER AND OVER. And it gets stupidly hard unless you play the game really cheap (for example, timed silent assassinations). Use blend, kill guy, walk off a little in blend, leg it. Rinse and repeat.

[Caris]

I think i am the only one who found the Informer ones easy. I done them all first go...

[Owario]

So I really want to catch up on all the PS2 games I missed out on such as Ico, Devil May Cry etc. but I am also debating buying a PS3 in the future for MGS4 and LBP, would you guys recommend I buy a PS2 or PS3? How's the backwards compatibility on the PS3, anyway? I haven't really been keeping up to date with the news in that regard. Bare in mind I already own a Wii and 360.

[Hero-of-Time]

The BC is non exsistent on the PS3 models now as they removed that feature. In regards to what you should get I would get a PS2 over a PS3 at the moment simply because the PS3 lacks software. Also the fact that you want to play catch up with the PS2 it makes sense to go for that as there are MANY killer titles on the old girl.

[Jordan]

Yeah i agree with HoT.

Either get a Slim or original PS2. Or if you can get an original US launch PS3 (20gb or 60GB).

They're region free and will play all US PS2 games (which are dirt cheap)

[Domstercool]

Yeah if you can somehow find a launch PS3 from US then go for that, but it does mean getting Us PS2 games but hell, you get 60hz, games that never come here and thousands of RPGs if you do, oh and perfect upscale backward compat :) *uses it all the time as games running on normal PS2 on HDTV don't all that good*

Its good to see the PS3 sales picking up, maybe now more developers will give the machine some exclusive titles that it sorely needs. I imagine that it will be different when Wii Fit arrives over there come Saturday but still its good news for Sony at the moment.

[Zechs Merquise]

This is infact incorrect here are the media create charts from Japan for this week:

Nintendo DS Lite - 116,694

Wii fit will either start a massive surge in sales or it will just bomb.. should be interesting.


You tell him Caris!

Not a Troll, simply putting the correct figures in. The PS3 is not top of the Japanese charts anymore! That isn't trolling, just a questing for factual accuracy!

Dont know if anyone is interested but Square-Enix are helping to bring Odin Sphere over here early next year. Im quite shocked that the game is making it over here, hopefully it will get the attention it deserves.

I agree, i played the demo and he seems like a real bloke who has just been thrown in at the deep end! His slightly a little too movie-starish, but hey! He's like a hero!

Singstar is officially THE best PS3 game i've played to date, watching others sing is hilarious! Espicially these four blokes (who i presumed where gay, sorry if i'm wrong) who danced about as though they were in a boyband! Excellent! Extremely camp but it's 07 and it worked, i gave em four or five out of five i think!

: peace:

Konami may be looking to bring the Climax-developed prequel Silent Hill Origins to a wider audience next year with a PlayStation 2 port of the game. Released for the PSP worldwide this quarter, it now appears that Konami will have a PS2 version of the game ready for March of 2008. A fact sheet for the port was passed on to us this morning, courtesy of one of our tipsters, indicating that Climax would be responsible for the second release of the handheld horror title.

The official Climax site does mention that the group is working on a second unannounced project for Konami, but reps for the publisher have not yet responded to our request for confirmation that Silent Hill Origins for the PlayStation 2 is the unnamed title. If true, I certainly hope that Climax is giving the game a bit of a visual upgrade for those who passed on the on-the-go frightfest.


Yet another PSP game goes to the PS2.

So, Naughty Dog's Evan Wells has been answering questions over at ThreeSpeech. We're jealous, since you all should know how much we love Uncharted. Some of these questions are good, some are left for the more techno-savvy or tech-fetish folk. Check out the full Q&A session for the complete story.

- Wells indirectly says "no" to both multiplayer and DLC -- with all the medals and unlockables, no downloadable content is planned right now. No multiplayer either, since the team wanted to create the best single-player experience possible.

- Uncharted is using approximately 33% of the PS3's available power. We're about 76% sure that he's making up about 28% of that statistic, but we wouldn't be surprised if much better stuff gets squeezed from the PS3 in the future.

- The medals will likely turn into Home trophies when the time comes

I cant wait for the Trophy feature to arrive. Wonder if games like Resistance will give you trophies depending on how many Skill Points you got in the game.

Oh dear lord. That has to be utter bull shit.

The fact is, the cells are great at number crunching good for AI. Graphically the nVidia GPU in the PS3 isn't much more powerful than a 7800GTX.

Oh dear lord. That has to be utter bull shit.
It depends how you look at it as 'power' is something of a vacuous term. Graphically — as in texture and polygon wise — later PS3 games probably won't look that much better than Uncharted, but future titles might pack in a lot more advanced AI, interactive physics, and improved animation systems.

33% clearly isn't a scientific estimate, but I wouldn't say it's entirely inaccurate. The full potential of consoles is very rarely tapped, so theoretically Evan Wells might be bang on. Practically, though, you'll see a handful of developers — such as Naughty Dog and Insomniac — really outdoing themselves, and even then it's unlikely they'll wring every drop from the hardware.
