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

There was nothing about it that appealed to me. I got bored, shut it down and haven't been fecked to return to it since.

So yeah, I think deletion may well be the next move, even though I have 240Gb of free space I feel like Home is wasting 3 of them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

OK, so I saw links to videos showing female avatars being surrounded and mobbed by dancing guys... WHAT THE FUCK?! I really hate people sometimes and shit like this just brings out and exaggerates the most idiotic elements, which is why I couldn't give a flying fuck about it all. As much as I like the PS3, this really is a major case of "Sony, lol".

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

No, the fact that a female character gets mobbed isn't all that surprising, however, it's very easy to see when one avatar is surrounded by a bunch of people. The fact it's a far more 'real-world' style of representation would have made me think that it was less likely to be so obviously mobbed, because wouldn't you be embarrassed to be in the middle of a gang of people all huddling around some female character. Evidently people aren't, and perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, but I was a little.

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

I think a price cut, even of a fairly token amount, would help them pick up the pace though. I agree, I think the PS3 is in a stronger position than a lot of people give it credit for, but the 360 is only selling as well as it is because they've reduced the price drastically (though people still don't think about all the additional shit they need to buy).

The thing Sony really need to do is make good on their '10 year lifetime' promise. And not just, "Well it's 10 years on and we have the PS4 and are looking into the PS5", but a case of not really talking much about a new console until we're getting near the 10 year mark.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, I've got Killzone 2 preordered already, though I don't think we have a restriction on the demo on the European PSN. That said, I didn't think the demo hit here until something stupid like Feb 26th.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sony really do need to sort out an invite system for games, it's something I sorely miss from Xbox whenever I even think about playing with a mate (something I've hardly done because I tend to get games for the 360 just because I know it'll be doable without a massive headache).

FELIPE NO

A new reason to return to Warhawk is on the way, Nevermind, it's Resistance 2 DLC, in both free and paid-for packages:

Quote:

Sony has revealed that yet more downloadable content is on the way for PS3 exclusive Resistance 2.

First up is some free stuff, including what they're calling Meltdown 2.0 mode. It'll offer players a lot more freedom of choice as they fight for control of the maps, apparently. It will be supported on "most of our larger maps".

There's also a new co-op mode called Superhuman, which is designed "for more seasoned players". Expect higher grey tech and XP awards. Less skilled players can join in too - in fact, their more experienced friends can level them up. There will be more difficult challenges to face when you're in Superhuman mode, naturally.

For those who don't mind paying for their DLC there's the Aftermath pack. It contains three new maps, all of which are described as "smaller and more intimate" than the kind you might be used to. The pack will cost USD 5.99, with no word on a European price just yet.

Insomniac is also releasing six new skins. These will include one of Rachel Parker and one of a Ravager. Some of the skins will be customisable, and each one will be priced at USD 0.99.

How ya doing, buddy?

Seems Eurogamer got a little confused, the whole lot is about new Resistance 2 DLC, including the free stuff. Which does make a lot more sense with talk of grey tech, and the whole Insomniac name-drop. Shame, some free DLC for Warhawk would have been ace.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Rumour time: FFVII could be heading to the PSN as a PSOne download, as it's just hit the Japanese PSN store apparently:

Quote:

Sony has released classic PSone game Final Fantasy VII for download via the PlayStation Network.

It's only available on the Japanese PSN, mind, and is priced at JPY 1500. That's just over a tenner in the Queen's money or around EUR 11.

All the PSOne Classics games can be loaded onto a PSP to be played. So essentially it is a PSP version. Just one you can play on PS3 and/or PSP. I believe that's how it works (I've not looked into it greatly).

Having done a little bit of reading, it seems that it is as simple as copying the files onto the PSP's memory stick, or downloading through the PSP's own PSN store. So this is, in effect, a PSP version.

There was talk of Sony allowing PSOne game downloads from sources other than the PS3, but I don't know if that's actually gone live yet. I think lots of people were pointing out how silly it was for any PSP owners that lacked PS3s.

Actually, thinking about it, I was under the impression that the PSN store that you can now get on the PSP (proved you have up-to-date firmware) allowed you to purchase the same games you could buy on the PS3, which would get around your problem.

How ya doing, buddy?

A little rumour that could get Skills all excited: it looks like SCEA has registered the trademark for the name Starhawk, which could be related to a rumour that was floating about of a space-based Warhawk follow-up. [ source ]
