[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

If you think it's not a good game because of something as minor as that, you have problems. It's the best beat-'em-up of this decade.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I will have to look it up. It was for Xbox and PS2, right? Which version was better? oh man loving how off track this is getting =)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've only played it on PS2, though I don't think there should be any real difference between the versions.

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

Sorry that would be God Hand.

beat 'em up and hack 'n slash are different -_-

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

Well if we're talking decade, that's still Viewtiful Joe, sorry.

I was speaking idiomatically.

They lose a hell of a lot of respect for junk like Winback though, so I'll give you that.

Hey, man, Winback was like a poor man's Gears of War. I used to love that game simply because of the cover system.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Truth. VJ wins above all, including the same studio's God Hand. VJ is the victor. Sylvia <3

FELIPE NO

Um, wow. Lair has been delayed!

Quote:

Wow, even I didn’t see this one coming! Due to an extra step in QA testing to enhance the community features in the game, the release of LAIR, originally set for August 14th, has changed to September 4, 2007. Natural challenges that arose while finalizing the offline game to include key online features - such as leaderboards and medal systems - have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date. We appreciate everyone’s excitement and patience for the game and look forward to its release on September 4.

Yeah, ok. I haven't played the game, but I've been reading quite a bit of reviews saying that this game is not as hot as it could be, mostly with blame falling on the quirky Sixaxis controls. It would be my guess that they are quickly making a fix/alternative for this solution (even though they say otherwise), but what do I know. I have personally never heard of the delay of a game 2 weeks before its release.

Ha I wish. I was very impressed when I saw it over in this thread on evil avatar. In the first post they have a mini-tutorial on how to add the dark bars, but it is unfortunately not the same as the ones in the Okami wallpaper :/. Maybe the provided .png can be modified. I'm not too good with this photoshop stuff, though.

...and God Hand rules above all. K sorry.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's actually pretty common for games to be pushed back a few weeks right before release from QA testing. I specifically remember Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders getting delayed about 3 weeks so that they could reduce the max number of players in multiplayer (yeah, "huh?"). I doubt they're taking an extra few weeks to impliment a new control scheme, since that would simply add even more time onto QA testing and push the game back even farther.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

LAIR official scores so far
GamePro (poor source): 7.5/10 (3.75/5)
Play Magazine (more credable): 9/10

Any other scores (unless you HAVE the magazine) are simply rumours spun by fanboys on any side of the fence.

The delay on LAIR does kind of bite, however I suppose it's better to change a easy fix flaw before release and get good & solid reviews rather then the "they'll probably fix this in a later update" line found in most now current-gen reviews (AKA MotorStorm & content).

As for the Beat 'em up thing. I'll have to also go with GodHand. Both GH and VJ are AWESOME games, however GodHand stays a little more to formula on this fron and therefore gices you a more nostalgic feeling (almost like Final Fight or Street of Rage).

How ya doing, buddy?

Which magazine is it? EGM?

Yeah, it looks like Electronic Gaming Monthly

Also, "what a drag", lol.

I was speaking idiomatically.

A 5.0 from Garnett Lee? It's official folks, Lair sucks ass. I blame it on the hype.

How ya doing, buddy?

You mean like that Final Fantasy VIII [PC] hype?

FELIPE NO

What "Final Fantasy VIII [PC] hype" is this you're talking off? Must have missed it.

What I meant was that expectations for Lair were so unjustly high that there was no way for Factor 5 to ever meet them.

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

Well everyone was like "OMG Final Fantasy VIII for PC is going to be just as awesome as FFVIII for PSX". Of course, it wasn't, and everyone was disappointed ->

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think your example is a bit too limited to who experianced FFVIII -PC for probably 95% of people probably don't even know that it was even even on the PC.

More recent examples of a similar experiance would be that of Halo 2.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

ah snap. TWO DEMOS THIS IS UNHEARD OF.

Quote:

* Blast Factor: Advanced Research expansion ($4.99)
* Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 demo (free)
* The Darkness demo (free)
* Michael Clayton movie trailer (free)
* Get Smart movie trailer (free)
* The Game Plan movie trailer (free)

Downloading GRAW2...well...whenever the update goes up I guess.

It looked terrible and had some weird problems that caused it to glitch occasionally. It played the same, except for the problems mentioned.

Here's the clincher that assured it's sucking: The music was in MIDI.

Dude...and Super Rub-A-Dub for 2.99? I'll bite. That demo was a lot of fun to play.

I think I'm going to buy a 720p TV. It breaks my heart, but I'm too poor for 1080p.

Most amazing jew boots

Unless your getting something larger then 32" - 40" 1080P doesn't make enough of a difference for the money. Anything under 40", 720P is optimal resolution. So don't feel bad.

FELIPE NO

You can get a 32" LCD HDTV for under $500 now, even Newegg looks to have some decent deals on them. Not a bad deal really, I've considered selling mine to get one with a higher refresh rate since the ghosting sucks on it (stupid low quality Westinghouse crap...). I don't think 1080p is particularly beneficial at this point for games since few support it, and those that do sometimes have performance issues when run at it. It would be nice for HD movies, but you might still be better off just sticking with a 720p for now and getting a better one later on when prices come down more.

For that matter, I've once again been debating getting a PS3 since the Xbox 360 price drops seem to be far less substantial than I anticipated, and with used 20GB PS3s showing up in pawn shops for ~$370, the price difference between an Xbox 360 Premium and a PS3 would be relatively minor. But in all honesty, I'm worried about the longevity of the system at this point due to the rather slow sales its had since the start of the year. Seems third parties are starting to get worried, and it would be pretty disappointing if they decided to move to other platforms before the PS3 even recovers from this sales lull. Although I'm going to need to play Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction no matter what...

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

I'm more worried about the longevity of the Wii and 360 for they have pratically NO big games coming for '08. I think that's a bigger issue current PS3 numbers.

I'm not saying this for the sake of arguing either. I own all three so I've paid for the right to be worried
