flameboy Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Just Cause 2 is also free this week. I noticed this accidentally and was pleased when I realised as I was annoyed that the last games have all been ones I've owned...Dead Space 2, Borderlands, Red Dead Redemption, Saints Row 2. Although I did download Saints Row such a good game to have on HDD and just fire up and muck about.
Cube Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I've own Borderlands and Red Dead on 360, I rented Dead Space 2 and didn't get far, and I've rented Just Cause 2 and is probably second to the Doctor Who Wii game as my worst game this generation.
Magnus Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I've never played Saints Row 2 or Just Cause 2, but I also haven't played the first game in either series and I hate skipping games, so that's a bit annoying. :p I'd also never played Dead Space 2, but I was never that crazy about the first game. I'm up to chapter three and keep being haunted by a bug where monsters don't spawn in areas where you're supposed to be locked in a room and have to kill all of the monsters for the doors to open. Strangely enough, the doors always open on their own if you stand around for five minutes or so. The only other person I've found with the same problem had to restart the game to fix the bug. That would only mean replaying two hours, but that's still two hours of a game I'm just going through the motions with. Maybe I'll just deal with the lack of monster ambushes. Sure makes the game easier, at any rate! Edit: Never mind, started over. Only got five minutes into chapter 3 before getting stuck in another room where monsters wouldn't spawn (they sure were making a lot of noise from somewhere outside the map, though), so this was completely ruining the game for me.

Hero-of-Time Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 The gamescom announcements were quite epic. Vita looking awesome as well as PS3 stuff. Much nicer than e3. Indeed. I wasn't expecting that amount of content, a lot of it being new IPs no less. It has also created a very positive vibe about Sony from the media, with both IGN and EDGE applauding Sony for taking risks with IPs, putting on a good show and generally just giving gamers what they want....GAMES!
Cube Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I had never even heard of Gamescom until a few days ago.
dazzybee Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah bought Sound Shapes but can't download it on my vita yet because of space... God I wish Sony weren't so utterly irritating with regards to memory cards, I want a 32GB card so badly but £50 odd quid. Ram it!
Daft Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I actually don't really mind to much paying for it (for no good reason other than whatevs - it is a ridiculous price) but it sounds like a fucking hassle to switch memory card and re-download everything again. EDIT: Oh wait, Amazon have it for £58. Fuck that.
Cube Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 32GB Memory card for 3DS - £14 32GB Memory card for Vita - £58
dazzybee Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, I could undownload Escape Plan but they keep releasing DLC for it That game has grew on me so much. Finish that then download Sound Shapes (for some reason I don't want to play it on the ps3, want to wait). Then hopefully I'll get a bargain one day on memory cards
Cube Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 At least the Vita doesn't require double the space for installing, like the PS3.
S.C.G Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I actually don't really mind to much paying for it (for no good reason other than whatevs - it is a ridiculous price) but it sounds like a fucking hassle to switch memory card and re-download everything again. EDIT: Oh wait, Amazon have it for £58. Fuck that. I was under the assumption that you can just move everything from your full memory card to the PS3 and then just move everything back onto the new, larger card... is this not the case?
Happenstance Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I was under the assumption that you can just move everything from your full memory card to the PS3 and then just move everything back onto the new, larger card... is this not the case? Yeah thats pretty much it, I watched a video on it the other day (although they did it to the PC as I will) and you just plug the Vita in and select backup and that copies all your games, apps, saves etc to the PC then you can just put them back onto the new card.
Daft Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Ah, didn't realise that. I'd probably have less of a problem with re-downloading games if they were organised better; like on team where all your games are listed and you just click download - kind of like a virtual game locker.
Sheikah Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 PS Plus subscriptions will apparently be 25% off come September 5th for 2 weeks. So £30 instead of £40 for a yearly subscription.
Daft Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 They did 20% off previously and I got Plus for £32. Definitely going to top up my subscription with this discount. Absolute steal.
Sheikah Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Yup, I got it when it was 20% too, it's almost time for renewal for me anyway. Almost tempting to get 2 years (2x1 year subscriptions), actually. :p
Cube Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Out next month. Do want. Edit: And it's £9.99. Edited August 20, 2012 by Cube
flameboy Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Out next month. Do want. Edit: And it's £9.99. Yes it looks ridiculous and amazing at the same time. Sony really nailing it these quirky exclusive PSN's now.

dazzybee Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Should've put online mulitplayer with friends in wipeout then this wouldn't have happened
Dcubed Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Fuck me, that's just miserable I'm not even a Wipeout fan and this news saddens me. SC Liverpool is, by far, Sony's most iconic 1st Party studio. They (and Wipeout) ARE Playstation! Bloody sad. Sony's falling apart at the seams.
