30 DAYS LEFT.

That is all. ;)

Yup, not far now ^^

I think I'm going to start a thread soon for advice on camping for consoles. This is because my friends and I are going to be camping at a FutureShop on the thursday night before launch and this will be our first time, hence the request for advice. So for all of you who are planning on doing the same for either a Wii or a PS3, watch for the thread to go up soon.

Btw, for a few posts back, flOw is very much not like Electroplankton despite the look :) It's more like the microscopic-level game from Spore... or rather, it's the predicessor of it, since the same designer is working on that aspect of the game.

Checking out the new shots, thanks as usual Sphere~

Oh and

I'd love it if they made another Klonoa title, anyone have the sales figures for the 2nd title? BTW, there are more references to Namco games on those cars.

Examples: Mitsurugi, Kilik, Arkbird, Osea/Usea/Erusea, etc...

...Owen Stampflee, Lead Software Engineer of Terra Soft Solutions expresses, "From the days of the Commodore 64 to modern overclocked and water cooled home computers, a battle has raged between dedicated game boxes and home computers for highest quality game play. PLAYSTATION 3 provides an industry first exceptional Linux OS experience ... and Terra Soft the first Linux OS. I am proud to have played a part in this development."

Under basic agreement with SCEI, Terra Soft was granted a unique opportunity to develop and bring to market a complete Linux OS for the Sony PLAYSTATION 3. In development of Yellow Dog Linux v5.0, Terra Soft integrated and enhanced code from Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Sony Group, and Fedora in order to offer the following:
- kernel 2.6.16
- gcc 3.4.4 and glibc 2.4
- Cell SDK 1.1
- OpenOffice.org 2.0.2
- FireFox 1.5.0 and Thunderbird 1.5.0
- Nautilus 2.1.4
... and a suite of Personal Accessories, Development Tools; Sound & Video, Internet, and Networking applications...

Definitely more than what I was expecting to be avaiable, especially with Firefox on there. I've got some of my pals telling me that Yellow Dog, or Linux at least has been compatible with SNES/NES emulators for a while. With BC and those emus, I could have quite a bit of gaming going on. Anyways, we'll just have to way and see how this all pans out.

Rub it in for us in Euro land SOLDIER ;_;

Oh, sorry. :(

Firefox on PS3? GodDAMN.

Ok, I just found out what Nautilus is. Seems like a file management system, probably goes along with Yellow Dog Linux, I bet.

Looks like you get word processing, a well known browser, email capabiltiies and a file managment system that looks kind of like a Mac's. Tons of functionality, and 2 browsers too (the default PS3 OS's and Firefox).

GameTrailers has some new stuff up.

Here's a vid of the PS3's Flow: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...14108&type=wmv

Here's a vid of RR7 which the 360's version's got nothing on: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...14105&type=wmv

Ah, so flOw HAS changed a bit, albeit just graphically, and the background music is nicer. Good find, Slayer.

I am curious though if it's going to have a score, or end to it, or anything of that nature. I know that people like us are interested in it as an idea and everything, but the average joe schmoe might not get it if it has no definable goals.

I think you just have to build up your plankton type of thing up to it's final form which I believe (or at least in the flash version) is by consuming everything in all 16 levels... but I could be wrong.

Several new shots of Ridge Racer 7:

Namco Bandai lets a few new pieces of info loose on the track.
by Chris Roper

October 17, 2006 - Namco Bandai today unveiled a bit of new info on its forthcoming Ridge Racer 7 for the PlayStation 3. In addition to new media, the publisher/developer also revealed a few new details on the game's customization features and three new machines that you'll be able to grip the wheel of.

The press release details four bits of customization options as follows:

Create the Ultimate Exterior
Players can choose from a variety of body kits, colors and decals to change the look of their machines, as well as a large selection of wheels.

Improved Performance
Perform engine tune-ups and performance upgrades to improve your chances in the extensive GP series.

Customizable Handling
Improve cornering performance by adjusting tires and suspension to customize drift characteristics.

Variable Nitrous
Various nitrous options are now available. Strengthen your normal or ultimate charge, increase the number of nitrous tanks, select auto-charge or reverse charge, or even use flex nitrous, which can be turned on or off at any time!

Straight from the press release, the three newly-unveiled machines are:

Centellee
The latest super sports vehicle from Terrazi boasts a 4000cc V8 engine, a top speed of 210mph and a handcrafted body, making this machine no match for its competitors.

Magnifico
With an extremely practical and luxurious interior, this powerful and sporty car possesses a drastically lightened body, an inline 2000cc 4-cylinder engine, and a top speed of 178mph.

Jujak
This high-tech sports coupe features multi-torque control for variable road and weather conditions, an inline 2700cc 4-cylinder engine and a top speed of 156mph. Jujak is the cutting-edge sports car.

Ridge Racer 7 is scheduled to release alongside the PlayStation 3 when it launches next month.

Nice controller pictures, I can now see how the triggers would feel a bit uncomfortable.

Sigma's looking sexy. I'm digging the focused motion blur on the sword in one shot, and the last shot's lighting is definately hot stuff.

I think we've sort of worn out the "nice PS3 photos" though... There isn't much more to show other than more angles, more backgrounds, and more fingerprints.

The Ninja Gaiden pics just look like pumped up version of NG Black for the XB. But the game has only started development for the PS3 and isn't going to be released until around summer '07 I think I heard in a developer interview at GameTrailers. So there's lots of time to do more. It doesn't look bad, it just looks like a 360 game right now. (Ohhhhh... burn)(probably hear some ranting about that one, ah... it was worth it)

Maybe you should spoiler tag the insanely huge pics. Anyway, those are some stunning shots of Ryu, demons, guns, bikes, and ~~boobs~~ Racheal.

Spoiler tag doesn't keep the photos from loading, actually. It just doesn't display them. If you're that concerned, thumbnail 'em. I'd just leave them as is though.

Ok, now this is ridiculous. People are camping out just to play the kiosks/set ups that are already going up in Best Buys.

After strolling into my Best Buy today i noticed a line and that could have only meant one thing. The PS3 kiosk was there? No, not till tommorow, but there was already a line forming outside the store to see the newly setup kiosk area. I have never seen this kind of reaction, not even for the 360.

This is where the kiosk will display. Sorry for the bad quality, i had to be quick with the camera phone.

This is the area where the games will be displayed. Notice the space to right, all the original shelving was taken down for the new display. You can see this display in the back right of the top picture.

The media manager at my Best Buy kept reasuring everyone that the PS3 WOULD BE PLAYABLE the next morning. I will be one of the 20 people already camping out right now. Im writing this on my laptop as I sit out here with the rest of the PS3 boys. Thank god for wireless. More to come soon!

Best Buy near me completely redid their video game section and I noticed a big empty spot not unlike where the standee in the pictures was positioned. But they didn't have anything up yet. They also moved the 360 away from the nice La-Z-Boys to the *back* of the game section (wow).

I stand corrected. Learn something new each day.

Camping out just for the demo kiosks, now that is just ridiculous. Regardless, I'll be sure to call my BB on Friday to see if they have theirs set up. Even if I don't get a chance to play it, it'll be a treat just to watch it in action (assuming the idiot taking the turn knows how to play, and usually that isn't the case).

Did you hear that they're going to leave the Wiimotes wireless? This is going to cause some big problems. Scratched DS screens is one thing, but losing the chance to play it at all because some douche ran off with the remote is even worse. :(

DIE 56k modems! You dont belong in this thread!

*left confused by the kitty pictures*

Yeah, I just found out that the second batch of screens shows the PS3 ripping tracks from a CD onto the HDD. The second screen shows the bitrate to choose, though I don't know if this happens before or after the first screen.

God, I hope that means you can customize the game soundtracks. I also hope this means you can customize the PS3 menu sounds. I'd love to be able to add as many menu themes as I want.

What the heck is going on in that movie player?
