[PS3] PlayStation 3 Fan Noise. Annoyingly loud, ain't it?

I beat Heavenly Sword after a 3hour sit followed by 6 hours of sleep and then a 5hour sit which finished Heavenly Sword. The final boss was one of the best Boss Battles I've ever had. Man was that guy a bastard... but what a good fight he put up.

Also I can't say I've cared about the characters of a game since Iplayed Final Fantasy 8 so job well done goes to Andy Serkis and the guys at Ninja Theory. Here's to hoping for a sequel.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Same here. I'm always up for some WarHawk, but I'm afraid that Unreal Tournament (series) is the only FPS I ever bother playing online.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's only if you pre-order at a GameStop though am I correct. You don't get the demo if you pre-order at EB.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well then, when I go to switch my pre-order of Rock Band from 360 to PS3 (due to the wireless controller thing) and pick up GGXX: Accent Core I may very well have to place a pre-order on R&C: ToD aswell.

Well he said something like, "does the new processor make a difference..." so I think that he thinks that the 80Gb PS3 has a different CPU then the 60Gb one. I haven't checked the stats in a while so I don't know if that's true, however if it were differenct and if the original CPU was a 90nm chip then they would have only made the new one a 60nm chip which only decreases heat and power consumption which has no effect on the games.

Besides that there's no difference between the two models PS3 game wise. Inhert and Rock are right about the BC stuff.

I was speaking idiomatically.

From what I've heard from the leaked reports it's just called the DualShock 3.

@AcerBandit
The PS3 already has rumble enabled for all PS2 games if you're using a PS2 controller via USB. So when the DualShock 3 comes out, all they'll need is one minor update to send that same rumble datastream to the new PS3 controller, no biggie. We'll probably even get the patch a good while before the new controller even hits the market.

UPDATE
Tgs07: PS3 Rumble Controller Confirmed - Kotaku

This means that it will probably hit the market before the end of the year since Burnout is due late January '08.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's if they're going to swap the SIXAXIS with the DualShock 3. Otherwise the DS3 may just be an add-in whic would therefore be an increased price over the standard controller. (like in the PS1 days)

UPDATE
The new Ratchet game is going to have DualShock 3 support. But of course the controller doesn't come out here till Spring '08 so most will have played, beaten and moved on by then. For thoes who won't be getting a PS3 till early next year however, good for you

FELIPE NO

As much content we've been getting a lot of it is old news or minor things. It would have been nice to get some TGS stuff. Whether it be MGS4, White Knight, anything. A demo would have been better too. Like the one DMC4 demo has been going from convention to convention for over a year now, why no PSN release of it eh? Ah well, maybe when TGS really starts tomorrow, we'll get some up to date content for the next update.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

All sites have to fuel the console war one way or another by aggressively wording everything it seems. But yeah, it's no next-gen rumble and it does have both technologies. It's going to be nice to have some weight in my hands again.

P.S.
One cool thing about the DualShock 3 however is the ability to turn the rumble on and off on the controller itself instead of having to navigate through menues and stuff. Cause while I like rumble in my action games, I hate it in my RPGs and fighting games, so the easier the better

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nobody was really talking about that though. Qwarky and I were just commenting on how the press was making it out to some innovation in the field to 1up MS or something, which it turned out to be nothing like. Are you talking about the same thing?

Most amazing jew boots

Lol, I'm with you on that one man. They blew the whole thing WAY out of proportion. The only difference that I've heard about with the DualShock 3 is that it has seperate motor control insteadof it being a unified control. Other then that, it's DualShock 2.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think that was supposed to be sarcasim because the original DualShock also used seperate motors if you look at one of thoes see through ones. It's just now games instead of using the left for strong vibrations and the right for light, the new one just simply controls the RPMs per each individual motor, instead of simple on/off like in the DS2.

But yeah, when it comes to anything other then quotes, journalism is useless.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Apparently the PSN update is up. So what's new on the network? I know the Jerhico Demo is up, reported by Joystiq. But what else is new? I'm at work right now so I can't find out for myself.

Most amazing jew boots

KoF XII was just announced at TGS and SNK pratically never has promo stuff for their games until they've gone gold usually. I was actually surprised that Metal Slug 7 was even at TGS.

But no MGS content eh? That sucks.

What happened to thoes updates of sprites and other artwork we'd get from time to time on SF2TurboRemix? Last thing I saw was Balrog's stage.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Holy Shit! (Unreal Announcer)

Speak of the devil, SF2TurboRemix UPDATE!

- Post details: Flying Dictators and their Clones (New Art Inside!!!!)

It was my plan to show some screenshots today, but PR unfortunately canned that idea and our PR girl is not one to be messed with =P. We have an event coming up and PR wants to hold off the “big stuff” until then. But, the event is fairly soon, so I hope you guys can wait just a little longer. That being said, I didn’t want to do this update empty-handed.

And here’s Bison in mid-Psycho Crusher. I would like to note that the Bison shot is a work in progress.

You’ll notice a blur effect going on. We’re still determining on whether or not it will stay. We’re working on it, but we’re not sure how well it’s going to work with the pallet swapping tech we’re using.

FELIPE NO

Can someone explain the logic of dropping the BC ability when it's done by software nowadays anyway?

Also does anyone know what thoes prices would be in USD or CAD?

Most amazing jew boots

@Acer
They do have that for $550CAD. What's your point. (Well no Dual Shock 3 obviously, like it matters)

As for the system. All the press have been saying that Sony should have made a system for gaming and not multimedia. Well here's the system, so the had better STFU now. Or else...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't know ask Microsoft. They killed BC when the console only had 20 games, so they should know the logic.

@Acer
Things arn't always as easy as people make them out to be. Sometimes by replacing 1 item it changes a feature. For example I'm sure that they didn't eliminate WiFi and 2 USB ports to make it cheaper.

I'm sure what they did was go down to a simpler propriatary Motherboard that is $100 less and simply has 2 USB ports and no built on WiFi. Also the PS3's WiFi is shit anyway, you're better off without it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

HEy guys. I don't know what else is supposed to be coming, but Everyday Shooter IS coming on this weeks update for about $10. Man I can't wait. Here;s a trailer for thoes unfamiliar with the title.

Gametrailers.com - Everyday Shooter (PSN) - Chain Reaction Gameplay HD

Also announced is a new Gradius/R-type side-scrolling shooter. Visuals look like R-type, gameplay more like Gradius. Current release status is TBD.

Gametrailers.com - Soldner-X - Trailer HD

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How many levels are there to Everyday Shooter?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

For PSN games I love Super Stardust HD, Everyday Shooter and Tekken. Thoes games rock.

For retail games.I'd have to reccomend.
WarHawk
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
FolkLore
Virtua Fighter 5

Must rents are;
Lair
Heavenly Sword
The Darkness

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah that's right. Guess it makes sense in Sony's upside down world.

Like Jacky boy sais. A PS3 for $400 and a PS2 for $130 is still less the the original $600 by $70. Just you don't get the upscaling, wireless controllers, built in memory cards, or the extra 40Gbs. Hell I wouldn't give a shit if I saved $70 if I lossed all of that.

I suppose like NDP sais though. Something like 58% of people don't even know that the PS3 can play PS1/2 games. So I guess the lack of the BC feature won't really hurt them much with the mainstream.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's a demo, because it's free. Prologue itself is actually going to cost you a couple bucks when it comes out later this year. However I hear that these prologues tend to have a decent amount of content in them, making them worth while.

FELIPE NO

A lot of retailers here are just selling the 60Gb model for $450. And the 80Gb model for $500 with MotorStorm and LAIR(that's FutureShop, but other retailers have similar deals).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Heck no man. There's been virtually no mods. Unless you count running Linux on the system. But seeing how Sony approves of that it's not really a mod.

Perhaps someone with a closer eye on the scene may know of something in the pipeline however.
