[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

After playing Ridge Racer 7 split screen on my puny crt tv... I badly felt the urge to save up for an HDTV ;___;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That reminds me. A friend and I played RR7 on his EDTV last week split screen. However I noticed that the FPSs dropped dramatically. I'm not surprised. It's just that you don't notice what the difference of 60FPS from 30FPS until you don't have it anymore, lol.

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

Hey, the "The Darkness" demo is pretty cool. Kinda bizarro stuff, but the scene in the tunnel was pretty kick-ass

Additional Spam:
The "European PS3 Bundle" is available for €599 now. One additional controller plus two "Bestseller Games" (Motorstorm and F1 or R:FoM). In total, you save €165.

However, I don't really care, the only thing that's interesting is the additional controller, since the games pretty much suck. Well okay, maybe Motorstorm is alright, but I dunno.

Should add a few PS3 owners to the German market, though, which is always good

Most amazing jew boots

Oh man all the good games are delayed if this goes on like that, I will end up buying FIFA 2008 as my first game I already know it >:[

I was speaking idiomatically.

What are you talking about? Both LAIR and Heavenly Sword are coming out in September... a SINGLE week apart.

Want to know what game you should buy first anyway? Ninja Gaiden OR Virtua Fighter 5. Both are games that even if there were a lot of games for the PS3 would still be gems in the library.

Eh? Lair got delayed? If that's the cause then why are the flyers for Best Buy and Future Shop still have it listed with a release date of August 16th?

FELIPE NO

Yeah, it got delayed until September 4th :/.

How ya doing, buddy?

Because they're retarded, I suppose. GameStop has it listed as 09/04, if I remember right. It's somewhere in the first week of September though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lair got push back to September 4 because of an issue that aroused during QA testing regarding the game's various online features, like the leaderboards and its medal systems. They announced it like 2 week before the release date, so maybe best buy and futureshop didn't had time to change their flyers...

and if you go on the futureshop website they even list the game to September 18, I just hope it's a mistake because this means that in Canada we'll get the games 2 weeks after the US >.<

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Okay dudes, I've got a problem.

I've acquired Heavenly Sword for reviewing purposes, but it won't work on the goddamn ps3 I got. Folders are accessible as if it is a data disc (nothing viewable of course), but doesn't appear under GAME. Is the disc screwed or do I have to adjust the settings on the unit?

ASAP help much appreciated fellas. I'll sneak you some juicy bits if you can help me get this working...

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

I can't imagine that's got anything to do with the PS3. However you obtained your early copy, I'd say you obviously got one that wasn't encoded or whatever correctly.

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

Yeah, that's what I thought. Cheers dude. I'm gonna rip one out of Ninja Theory for dashing my hopes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It might be a version for a debug machine, perhaps? If that's the case, do you have a debug machine and the latest software? There is a new debug firmware out there, but I can't remember the version right now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Review and preview code always comes on white BD-Rs and can only be played on debug machines. Whoever you got it off from shouldn't have given it to you, and if you stole it, I hope you get caught.

Now I wonder which of the two review codes you got ::chinstroking::

PS3's GamerTag - The 'GamerCard'

Quote:

During a playable demo of Unreal Tournament III at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, we spotted something very interesting on the game’s menu system. It’s called Gamercard and it doesn’t seem too unlikely a possibility that this will turn out to be a unique player identity system, not entirely dissimilar to the Xbox 360’s Gamertag system that manages player stats and achievements.

Spoiler:

I don't really understand this. What the hell is the difference between the PSN IDs and the 360's GamerTags? Just stats and achievements?

Anyways, looks like another feature that is going to be implemented soon in a future update...

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

It's white on the front and blue on the back. It says Heavenly Sword, July 2007 and REVIEW on the the front too. I don't have time to do things like steal games; reviewing is only a part-time gig for me. I've sent it back to the boss and am now awaiting the final code.

Yeah, I have the same disc right here, plus the revised August 2007 Version 2. All internal, preview and review material comes on those discs and require a debug PS3 to work, just like internal, review and preview code of PS2 games comes on orange and red discs that require debug PS2s and a special key in the USB slot.

I'm just stunned this boss of yours wouldn't realize you don't have one. If you've reviewed PS2/3 games before (whatever it is you review for), I assume it's only been retail/promo copies or on someone else's machine?

I'm sure they'll release the promos soon enough, hopefully your boss will send one of those.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've never reviewed on PS3 before - this was going to be the first time. However, my colleagues have never had any problems before seeing as we're usually given final copies (bar a few PSP codes that work fine on any PSP). It's not often that we get these earlier versions and in this case, it's only because HS is getting close to a simultaneous worldwide release.

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

The DiRT demo is available in the store. This better looks as awesome as the trailer =D

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

I soooooo envy you guys who are able to play that review disc of Heavenly Sword.... I'm here stuck playing the 2 battle-long demo .... but I'm not complaining XD

I was speaking idiomatically.

I cannot wait for Warhawk.

I want to play Motorstorm, but I don't have a PS3. I want to buy one soon very badly.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm too looking forward to the Warhawk release, because it's very boring when you can only find the odd game reviewer.... But it is quite good.

FELIPE NO

Fuckin' right, bitches. Warhawk releases a week from today. My PS3 is finally gonna see some heavy use once that game comes out.

I'm still on the fence about which version to buy. The addition of headset is a pretty sweet deal, but I'm a little concerned with the difference in load times between the PSN version and the Blu-Ray version :/.

If I can install some of the game (or all) onto the HDD from the Blu-Ray disc to increase load times, then I think I might have to go with that to snag an extra headset and some special features.

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

I'll probably wait before getting warhawk. I wasn't really impress with the beta. Well yes it's really a good game but I expected more I don't know and maybe because I don,t play really often those type of game.

Folding@home Update Comming Soon

Quote:

We are all very excited here for the release of the new Folding@home (FAH) client for the PS3! This latest update addresses issues in two major areas: user requests and improving the accuracy of the core that we have running on the SPU. In addition, we totally revised the rendering engine for the molecules and added a more sophisticated display format, which is closer to the imagery you find in biology textbooks. This actually required a protocol change and the protein needs to be described in much more detail from Stanford University’s side of things.

Another really cool feature that was also requested by the FAH community is the support of PSP Remote Play. In this latest version we enabled this feature so you can now access FAH remotely from your PSP (that you already own, since it’s such a cool little gadget) which is an awesome combination since the CELL processor is actually doing the Folding job, but the PSP fully controls the UI so you can carry it around with you.

HAHA! Now I can kick your guys asses when I'm not even at home. Suck it.

EDIT:
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHEN THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN:
