[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

well just go to system update with your memory stick in the ps3 slot for it and choose Update via Storage media, and it should scan any memory stick or sd card or hdd if there's an update to install

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

I do have the 60 gig ;p.


Inhert : I already put the ps3 update file in the memory stick. Didn't do anything.

Edit: Yep, didnt find the file.

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just so everyone knows the PS2 system information capability for the PS3 is now available on the PLAYSTATION Network for thoes who are interested. This gives thoes who have PS2 games that have HDD support access to the PS3's HDD.

FELIPE NO

yeah the last update was especially for those game that use the HDD like FFXI

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

Oooo Very good news. When I eventually buy a ps3 I won't have to deal with the hideous loading times of Metal Saga (it has hdd support).

How ya doing, buddy?

It also makes FFXI playable and ResidentEvil Outbreak 1 & 2 installable to decrease loading time by half for all 6 people who still play it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Question for you HDTV owners (LCD, mostly). Do you experience some minor banding while playing Resistance (transparent horizontal lines that appear while you move the camera; mostly shows up in grayish areas like indoor buildings or the sky above)? I've experienced banding in that and the NBA 07 demo, but nothing noticable in Genji 2 or Lemmings.

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

do you mean like some large transparent lines that goes through the bottom of the screen to the upper screen?

because if it's that, I experience it even on a regular TV, but it's only noticeable like you said on a gray or dark background color. I don't really see them in game, but if there's some black screen then sometime I see them. I also see them alot in the ps3 menu. I'm not sur what could cause this...

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

Hmmm... I've never experianced this. Are you guys running on 1080 or 720? I'm running on 720p and the only thing like this that I've ever expeianced is in Call of Duty 2 & 3 where there's a line in the center of the screen that you can see for when objects pass they magically become rendered, however this doesn't sound like the same thing that you guys are having. If I find anything out I'll be sure to post.

I was speaking idiomatically.

well I have a regular TV so it's 480p only....

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

A regular TV would be 480i, actually. 480p is only available on HDTVs and EDTVs. If you've got an SDTV you won't have the progressive scan option.

FELIPE NO

Has anyone played Fight Night Round 3? I dismissed it early on because I read that one reviewer complained about additional slowdown. Yet the latest EGM said the port was "perfect", along with some minor visual improvements. What's the official word?

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

I've played it. There's no additional slowdown, but load times are still there. As a port, it is "perfect" because it, at the very least, doesn't screw anything up.

In my opinion, it looks a lot better than the 360 version. No unnecessary light blooms, textures are smoother and up-close shots are a bit more detailed. Commentary still sucks though.

The coolest feature is that "Get in the Ring" thing where you fight in first-person. It's hard.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well for someone who doesn't own the original (or the system it was on), is it worth getting? Does it have online play? I was mostly interested in it for a visual showpiece (720p or 1080p?).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I tried one out at the local future shop. When compared to Xbox 360, there really isn't much of a difference. In fact, I prefer the Xbox overall. I found that they changed the controllers for the PS, and made it so the R2 and L2 buttons didn't have the barrier around the bottom, so every time you pressed it, your finger would slide off. It was sort of awkward.

(Sorry if I repeated something. I don't feel like reading all 250 pages of this forum.)

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

You must have been pressing awfully darn hard for that to happen. I've had my system for over a week and have yet to have that happen even in the intense heat of battle in Resistance's 20 on 20

Remember that very scary looking guy who was selling a PS3 on ebay and he was naked, standing behind a PS3 box and was threatening to move the box if no one bid on the console? Well, here is an auction that's not as scary:

I can already feel the aids attacking me after opening that box.

Now I never played through Ninja Gaiden all the way on the Xbox so I can't tell for sure, but most of those scenes and bosses look very much like the ones on the xbox version. Is NG: Sigma simply a remake of that game with some added things? Or is it a whole new game?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sigma's a port of Ninja Gaiden Black. With all new super fun happy slide fancy graphics. I think there was a mention somewhere that it'd have an even easier difficulty setting to choose from, too. That's about it!

- You can play as Rachel
- Dual Wielding of weapons
- New bosses
- IIRC, new weapons
- New difficulty level (I think this is called Ninja Dog, and Ryu gets a wristband or something if you play the game in that mode, so all can now you're a pussy. Unfunny Itagaki bull if you ask me)

Oh! I'm totally out of the loop. Man, the original wasn't that hard. I hope the new super ultra easy mode ends half way through the game for the sake of hilarity.
