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

The last thread split its pants while bending over to pick up a mint. PlayStation 3 is the sequel to the smash hit movie PlayStation 2: World Domination (unrated special edition!) In this thread we can have a gay old time talking about PlayStation 3. Firmware updates, exciting announcements, rumours of exciting announcements, online goodness, questions, answers, things! This thread is not for GameFAQ character battles (VOTE VOTE VOTE) between the PlayStation 3 and the other systems, because that's very retarded. Again, if you wish to discuss a PS3 game in great detail with the other FRIENDS OF GAMINGFORCE™, feel free to make a thread! We're in low supply of PS3 game threads! Having everything crammed up in here results in tinea, and nobody likes that!

Have a fun, enjoy!

How ya doing, buddy?

You guys should have just slapped them on the hand or banned one from the thread.

Anyway, I bought Heavenly Sword and I am loving it. I definitely feel a difference between the final build and the demo. I had an audience as well, that described watching the game as incredibly easy and entertaining because it was like watching a movie. People would walk away and come back and ask what happened. It was a pretty good experience. While I kind of do understand people complaining about the shortness of the game, as I only played for a few hours and am about 50% done now, it's still a great game. And if people buy it, we get downloadable content.

I kind of want to buy Lair but I don't know. My next PS3 game is between that and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, unless if I don't buy any before Folklore's release, which is going to be the next killer action/adventure/RPG title most def.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm still waiting on that sf2 hd remix game along with Fifa 08. The demo came out last night and it isn't so bad. I want a Winning Eleven game for ps3 though >=/.

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

I played the demo of Puzzle Fighter and it was pretty offputting. One of the big draws of Capcom 2D games has always been their wonderful design and sprite work. What is the point of even bothering to make an HD version if you don't bother properly updating the sprites themselves. Now everything else is sharp HD resolution, while the sprites are blurry upscaled crap

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

The game isn't really worth purchasing. The demo itself is enough to make you interested but not all the way. SF2HD looks like it'll have great backgrounds though, did you check out Balrog's stage?

OMG the Fifa 08 demo is available? I have to get that shit right now!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I beat Heavenly Sword after a 3hour sit followed by 6 hours of sleep and then a 5hour sit which finished Heavenly Sword. The final boss was one of the best Boss Battles I've ever had. Man was that guy a bastard... but what a good fight he put up.

Also I can't say I've cared about the characters of a game since Iplayed Final Fantasy 8 so job well done goes to Andy Serkis and the guys at Ninja Theory. Here's to hoping for a sequel.

FELIPE NO

You only get to play a first half and have the team of Barcelona, RM and Inter. It is fun though after 3 hours of demo play XD. I'll be sure to get this game when it comes out.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've been looking for Heavenly Sword but no luck. I'm still learning and playing Resistance online from time to time too.

Blacksite Area 51 has my interest piqued though, as that game looks pretty nifty. Any announcements on when a demo is going to be available to play online?

If its selling out, it must be doing well. I can't wait to see the numbers. The sequel and the DLC seem to be dependent on sales, but god would it be awesome if we got some.

I can't play Resistance if I know that Warhawk is there. I'm really not an FPS guy so even if I practice I won't get far skillwise anyway.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Same here. I'm always up for some WarHawk, but I'm afraid that Unreal Tournament (series) is the only FPS I ever bother playing online.

Anyone know what the latest firmware did? It's version 1.93.

Firmware Update 1.93

Also, the FIFA 08 demo is pretty shit. It looks horrible. Even worse than FIFA 06.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ratchet and Clank Future is going to be such an epic game. Go pre-order it cuz you get a demo to play.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's only if you pre-order at a GameStop though am I correct. You don't get the demo if you pre-order at EB.

FELIPE NO

I believe both places have them. They just came in this week.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well then, when I go to switch my pre-order of Rock Band from 360 to PS3 (due to the wireless controller thing) and pick up GGXX: Accent Core I may very well have to place a pre-order on R&C: ToD aswell.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Finally, I'm gonna buy my Ps3 tomorrow. But I need some advice. I can get the 60gb model and the 80gb one (with motorstorm).

What's the difference between the two? I mean, besides the obvious, does the new processor makes any difference in performance than the emotion processor?

I'm worried that some games will run smoothly with the new processor than the emotion one.

I don't care about reto-compatibility since I already have a PSX and Ps2.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

the 60gb version has the EE chip but not the 80gb. and beside the HDD that's the only difference. it's up to you if you prefer hardware emulation or software...

and if you don't care about backward compatibility then go with your budget. I'm not sure how much more the 80gb version is over the 60gb.

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

When you don't care about backwards compatibility, why would you worry about any differences in performance between the Emotion Engine and software emulation? In case you were wondering, it doesn't have an effect on PS3 games whatsoever.

Well he said something like, "does the new processor make a difference..." so I think that he thinks that the 80Gb PS3 has a different CPU then the 60Gb one. I haven't checked the stats in a while so I don't know if that's true, however if it were differenct and if the original CPU was a 90nm chip then they would have only made the new one a 60nm chip which only decreases heat and power consumption which has no effect on the games.

Besides that there's no difference between the two models PS3 game wise. Inhert and Rock are right about the BC stuff.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Thanks for the advice. When I said "worried about games running smooth" i meant Ps3 games. I have no idea of the Ps3 hardware and I kinda got the idea that the new model would improve the game's performance.

But that's good to know. I'll go with the 60gb model then since I don't care about Motorstorm and I don't think paying an adittional $100 just for the hard drive is a good idea.

Rumble in SIXAXIS confirmed

Quote:

Big shocker at today's Electronic Arts pre Tokyo Game Show press event. While playing a demo of Burnout Paradise, we felt something that we never thought we'd feel from a PS3 controller -- shake!

That's right, Burnout Paradise is the first rumble-equipped PS3 game we've ever played. Which made us think at the time, if the game is making the controller shake, the controller must be a new version of the Sixaxis!

In fact, the controller we were using to play the demo looked exactly like a standard Sixaxis, except that it had a sticker on the bottom that said "RUMBLE." It also felt notably heavier than the standard Sixaxis.

ARGH. Now I have to wait a couple of months before I buy some additional controllers! Oh well, we all saw it commin'. All I'm really curious about is if they did anything with the "new rumble technology."

Is this going to be called the Dual Shock 3 or the SIXAXIS 2?

FELIPE NO

Now what they'll need to do is do a bunch of patches for all PS3 games without rumble or at the very least enable this new controller to do rumble for PS2 and PSX games.

what about Shockaxis no seriously, that's exactly why I waited before buying a new controller.
