Cube Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) GAME has been hacked. Unlike the other hacks this one is serious as the passwords are public. Why do the details have a username when GAME doesn't have usernames? Edit: That was a different site, Catalyst-Gaming.

dwarf Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I was contemplating getting the £20 Uncharted mappy thingamie schmitz, but Dark Souls at £15 is a major temptation. http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/ps3/dark-souls/10355877.html

I've still not finished it either. Fortune Hunter Pack is incredible value for money so I say fuck it and get both!

It's actually better and harder than Demon's Souls, ie. epic.
dwarf Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Believe me Sheikz, I'd have been on that shit immediately were it not for my lack of connection, there was no way I was going to play the game without seeing those beautiful ghosts floating around the set. I'm now online though.
Cookyman Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 How similar is the gameplay between the two? Very similar but tweaked to make it better. It's a damn big game and hard as all hell but so damn rewarding.
Ashley Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Purchased a PS3 last night. Mostly going to use it for blu-ray but figured I should pick up some games so any suggestions? Rarely play so not going to get many at the moment but thinking LBP, Heavy Rain, Bioshock. And fuck me the controllers are expensive! Don't know why, it's just a wireless PS2 controller
Magnus Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 The Uncharted series (obviously). Infamous 1/2, if you're into superhero open world games. Valkyria Chronicles, if you like SRPGs. The Ratchet & Clank games, if you like action-platformers with a lot of humor. If you haven't played them already on the PS2, check out Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. LittleBigPlanet, Heavy Rain and Bioshock are all good games, so you could do a lot worse.

Aimless Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Skip LBP, get the sequel instead. You should be able to find it for under £15 and it improves upon the original in pretty much every regard.
Retro_Link Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah I've been looking around for PS3 games lately, LBP1 is £9.99 & LBP2 £14.99 on Zavvi, but I still haven't made my mind up on the series yet.
Sheikah Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) All (if not most) of the Final Fantasy titles prior to FFX are on sale on the store, no reason not to get at least FFVII, VIII and IX if anyone hasn't already played them. Those 3 are £3.50 each if you have PS Plus, £4 otherwise. Fantastic value for what they are! Getting FFVII through to IX for about a tenner is insanely good. And fuck me the controllers are expensive! Don't know why, it's just a wireless PS2 controller Yeah no idea why but these went up incredibly steeply last year, with shops like game/gamestation selling them for over £50! Amazon is your best bet at £35. I really wouldn't recommend buying them preowned (they might be on the verge of being worn out) or buying from ebay/Amazon marketplace. There seems to be quite a few counterfeits knocking about. Edited January 28, 2012 by Sheikah Automerged Doublepost
Burny Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) And fuck me the controllers are expensive! Don't know why, it's just a wireless PS2 controller Well, you get analogue buttons for it. Those got to be worth a premium, no? An advice concerning Bioshock: If you can wait, then get Bioshock Infinite when it comes out later this year. It will include the first. That is, unless Irrational or 2k Games decide to pull an EA... Edit: @Retro_Link If you're looking for a jump&run on the PS3, have you considered Rayman Origins? If not, you should at least check out the demo! Edited January 28, 2012 by Burny
MadDog Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception LittleBigPlanet 2 Red Dead Redemption Arkham Asylum They are my personal favourites.
Aimless Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Well, you get analogue buttons for it. Those got to be worth a premium, no? The DualShock 2's buttons are also analogue. It didn't have SIXAXIS, Bluetooth or a battery pack, though. You can find new DS3s for under £30 pretty reliably if you shop around. Gameplay seems like the best bet currently.
Burny Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 The DualShock 2's buttons are also analogue. Never knew that. Where they used as often as the DS3's are?
Aimless Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Never knew that. Where they used as often as the DS3's are? Honestly the only examples I can think of are MGS2 and 3: you had to let go of Square slowly to holster your weapon and after holding a guard up, and the pressure you applied to the L and R buttons changed zoom level during cutscenes. I don't claim to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of PS2 game button functions, mind. I imagine it's one of those things that's actually used a lot, you just don't notice it. Even if we're dealing with a binary function it allows developers to vary where the 'bite' of a button press is, which must be quite handy; to throw out a hypothetical example, you might require a deliberate press of a button to use a healing item making it less likely people would clip it accidentally and waste resources.

From my experience in one of the extremely rare examples where these buttons are used, that's not how they work though. I've got driving backwards mapped to a face button in GT5. It can be dosed, but not unless you've actually pressed the button beyond the initial resistance it offers. The dosing happens by in- or decreasing pressure on the button when it is already down and doesn't move perceivably anymore. Maybe the buttons already register analogue movement when they're not fully down, but in that case it's mostly used to emulate a binary button. Everything beyond the initial resistance registers as pressed, everything before doesn't.
david.dakota Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I would recommend Heavy Rain, its an incredible - err - piece of software. Its fair to say its not quite a game, but I thoroughly enjoyed it for the masterful story telling. I cannot wait to see what Quantic Dream are up to next. Skip LBP, get the sequel instead. You should be able to find it for under £15 and it improves upon the original in pretty much every regard. I'd have to disagree. I thought the first was far superior to LBP2. While the sequel does have more creativity options, the original single player mode has more charm and overall better design. LBP2 left me feeling disappointed; I used to pop in and out of the first but having played LBP2 I've touched neither since. Edited January 28, 2012 by david.dakota

Don't know why, it's just a wireless PS2 controller Obviously the Uncharted series is a must buy. I'd possibly even say, play the first on Easy just to get through it, (its amazing, but not mind blowing) and then the others on Normal for epic win.
dazzybee Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Little Big Planet is the most over rated game on the PS3; although I love 'create your shit' games and this is one of the most robust, I just didn't like it, never got into it. I wanted to love it so much... Uncharted 1-3 is the best thing on the system. Bioshocks, dead spaces, batman's, and all the HD "classics" are worth getting (orange box, portal 2 etc). You'll be able to pick up a lot of very cheap, very good games I'm sure!
Cube Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Wait....the face buttons are analogue??? ...why?
heroicjanitor Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I remember driving games using that on ps2, lightly press x to accelerate a bit, lightly press square to only break a bit, etc. Lots of games used it.
Cube Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I'd suggest trying the LBP demo first. I got the first game for free and, as good as user-created levels are, the floaty controls make it unbearable to play. Watching it on YouTube is much more fun.
