Game journalism is worthless. So is the rumble the same or not. Obviously it can't be, since it uses seperate motors.
I'd just call it the Axis Shock. 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? |
Did anyone check out the trailers for Monogotari and Little Big Planet? I checked them out earlier and they look pretty sick. No need to look around since I uploaded them for you .

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 |
Add-ons - Motostorm and Ninja Gaiden Demo - Cliver Barker's Jericho and NBA2K8 Video - EOJ Overview Trailer - We Own the Night, Guitar Hero 3, Iron Man Teaser I will be checking out Jericho and NBA2K8...Guitar Hero 3 looks awesome i guess.Still, no word on SF2HDREMIX. what a load of bull. Same goes for KOF12. I heard some shit about that game. FELIPE NO |
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, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
blah. SNK knows very damn well that we didn't want to see a rehashed KOF98. To see a lousy ass poster is what makes me irritated. We're already at the end of september. Capcom is another ball-busting company that don't know when they want to release a game to the states. We wont see SFHD2 for a while >.>..
As for the demos..I'll be sure to get NBA2K8. Looks fun but why does the b-ball demos have to be cavs and spurs... =/. The Jericho demo was kind of interesting. I went through my first play on it and it looks like an ok game. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Holy Shit! (Unreal Announcer)
Speak of the devil, SF2TurboRemix UPDATE! - Post details: Flying Dictators and their Clones (New Art Inside!!!!)
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Well after some weeks of speculation and rumours SCEE just announced the 40GB PS3 and pricedrop starting at 299GBP and 349GBP for the 60GB that'll come into effect in the UK and Europe October 10th. The downside is that the 40GB unit doesn't have backwards compatibility with PS2 titles as well as only 2 USB ports instead of 4 and no multi-memory card slot:

I suppose this just means I'll need to get a 60gig unit as fast as possible. How ya doing, buddy?

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 |
The prices are hard to convert, since they aren't simple conversions. There's always a premium when buying it elsewhere, but being Canadian I'm sure you know that.
Hopefully the 40 is 400 or 450 bucks or something. Instant (re)sold in that case, but I doubt it. 500, maybe? I dunno. I won't bother guessing, as we'll hear something shortly, I'm sure. Seconding the "arg why remove software BC now too", though. That just flat out doesn't make sense. Buying a second hand 20 confirmed? I was speaking idiomatically. |
Sony had to screw up somewhere to keep their failure points up I suppose.
It really isn't that hard. Put in 80 gigs, 100% BC, wifi, media ports, 2 Duel Shock 3 controllers, some retarded Blu-ray movie throwaway, composite cables, component cables, an hdmi cable, the usual crap plus the system, and sell it for $400-$500. People will be willing to buy that. If that was out right now even I'd buy that if not just for keeping around for the eventual Team Ico game. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
so they are basically doing a core package like the 360 with the 40gb, which mean totally useless >.>(well maybe not as much)
FELIPE NO |
Not really. To be as useless as the core, it would have to be without a hard drive and lack bluetooth.
This one isn't entirely useless. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
@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. |
How does taking out backwards compatibility factor into making it a better gaming machine? They still need Blu-ray for the games so disabling it from playing Blu-ray movies wouldn't save them much money at all. I heard they cut 2 USB ports. Holy fuck I didn't know USB cost that much. You can still access USB flash storage for multimedia purposes that way I suppose which is fine by me considering all flash cards besides SD are pretty worthless unless you're forced to use Sony's for the PSP. Cutting out wifi would just make it inconvenient and seriously even the DS has wifi (looking at you too 360 what is up with that?). 40 gb it's fine. Hell even 20 gb is fine as long as it has a harddrive. I don't know about you but I want to get my money's worth and a complete system. I'm not going to rebuy controllers just because they lack rumble so I'm just not going to buy the system until it's finally complete. By then it'll have those good 2008 games I hear so much about.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
"Gotta take away that backwards compatibility now that we have over 65 PS3 titles available! That's almost as many as the THOUSANDS of titles available on PS2 right? So who would even want backwards compatibility anymore?"
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |
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 $100 less and simply has 2 USB ports and no built on WiFi. Also the PS3's WiFi is shit anyway, you're better off without it. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I personally don't care about backward compatiblity much, but they shouldn't have removed it. 400$ PS3 in North America would've been great news, but this gives people something to complain about again. Most amazing jew boots Nothing wrong with not being strong
Nothing says we need to beat what's wrong Nothing manmade remains made long That's a debt we can't back out of |

What in the hell is sony thinking? Are they just on drugs or something or are they intentionally TRYING to lose customers
FELIPE NO |
How ya doing, buddy? The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even.

So.. what the hell was the damn point of all that upscaling they added not too long ago if they just go and remove backwards compatibility?
Sounds like a nice waste of time, money, and energy. Jam it back in, in the dark.
Stuff goes here~

This is probably the only time I am glad I bought a console at launch and can just ignore all this ridiculous bullshit going on in the background. Who would have figured they would have got it best the first time around and then continuously fucked it up as they tried to "make it better"?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
The first thing they should axe is the price. I mean seriously. PS3 has no good games that justify buying the console. At least with the PS2 MGS2 was set to come out what...3 months after launch i think? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
