Guest Jordan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Graphically, Killzone has a great art direction and the damage model being used is pretty much second to none. The frame rate might get totally fucked over though. Gameplay wise? Considering previous efforts by the team, i'm skeptical.

Yeah, I like how it's all generic brown but then it has all these vivid colours flying around the place. I think it looks really nice. I hope that's what they are going for and they really push it because I'd love that.
Guest Jordan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Elefunk is now up on the PSN for £4.99 (so buying...) Also! MGO: Geno (sp) pack is out today or next week.

Guest Jordan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Bridge building INVOLVING ELEPHANTS. Apparently its pretty fucking awesome.
Daft Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Bridge building INVOLVING ELEPHANTS. Apparently its pretty fucking awesome. You had me at 'INVOLVING'. Been waiting for a new PSN game. Any idea if it has, or will have, trophy support?
Guest Jordan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 The US game doesn't have trophies, so i'd assume the answer is no.
Daft Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 The US game doesn't have trophies, so i'd assume the answer is no. Shame, at least this'll give me my elephant fix. I hope there is a demo though, I'm not keen buying things blind.
Guest Jordan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 No demo Gameplay: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33727.html
Daft Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 No demo Gameplay: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33727.html Ok, no need. From that video, I know I want it. The elephants look cute. Reminds me of LBP. Has the awww factor and some cool physics from the looks of things.
tapedeck Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Hey guys does anyone know if the ps3 will play NTSC ps1 games?
Guest Jordan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Your PAL PS3 will only play PAL PS1 (and if your PS3 permits it) PAL PS2 games.
flameboy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Anyone up some Resistance multiplayer over the weekend? Got it yesterday quite into it, played a bit of single player only up to the grimsby level tho so not that far.
Dante Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Sony confirms 80GB PS3 for Europe SCEE boss David Reeves has revealed that the 80GB PlayStation 3 SKU, which was confirmed for North America in the E3 Sony press conference on Tuesday, will arrive into Europe on August 27, although the video download service will not make it across the Atlantic. Speaking at an informal reception for EMEA media in the Viceroy Hotel, Santa Monica, Reeves also gave pricing and release details for the forthcoming Platinum range of PS3 titles. "Generally, everything that Jack Tretton laid out [in the Sony press conference], with only two exceptions, pertains exactly to the PAL markets," he said. "This is symptomatic of the fact that our company is getting more global, and more consistent - the exceptions are the video download service and some of the specifics of the PSP and PS2 promotions. "PS3 80GB - we will introduce this in the PAL markets on August 27, it will be a simultaneous release. It will come in at EUR 399, GBP 299, and we will be doing promotional bundles from the middle of September to the end of December at various prices…the 80GB replaces the 40GB. "We will launch Platinum for PS3 on August 1, so that's the same time frame as North America. The suggested retail price will be EUR 29.99 and GBP 19.99." He went on to clarify that PlayStation Home will also launch into open beta on the same day and date this Autumn as the US market, and that the precise date would be revealed nearer the time. He also confirmed that while the video download service wouldn't appear in Europe in 2008, announcements would be made later in the year, and that the corporation's chairman, Sir Howard Stringer, had committed to providing the non-games services in all territories over time.
flameboy Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Well tis a bit annoying news...wish I had hung on a few months and got an 80GB but never mind... As for the cheaper games...meh you can most of them for cheaper preowned already.
Daft Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I upgraded my HDD anyway. 80GB still wouldn't have made me happy. *Strokes 320GB PS3*
flameboy Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I upgraded my HDD anyway. 80GB still wouldn't have made me happy. *Strokes 320GB PS3* Yeah I really should upgrade...how much did your 320GB cost. Is it really easy to do? I am so paranoid about losing my save data in the process or something...or breaking something.

Guest Jordan Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 The only real issue is backing up your data from the old HDD to the new one. I have... 14 PSN games and i only have an 8GB Micro SD i could use. Still, i don't see why the fuck they're dropping the card reader and other two USB ports. Surely that can't cost that much to add to the console?
Aimless Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Still, i don't see why the fuck they're dropping the card reader and other two USB ports. Surely that can't cost that much to add to the console? I'd assume it's because the insides of the 40GB model were redesigned slightly to run cooler and use less power. I think it's safe to say that Sony will not be re-introducing backwards compatibility with PS2 games — although I wouldn't put a downloadable 'Classics' selection past them — so moving forward it makes sense to stick to the more efficient design that is also cheaper to produce. I think that the 80GB will be the only type of PS3 on sale in a few months so as to ease customer confusion. The more PS3 games that are released the less backwards compatibility matters, so to my view Sony's decided to put it to bed once and for all and consolidate their hardware line up to a single SKU. Having said that, no doubt they'll introduce another superfluous variant on the machine in early '09 just to mess everything up.

Surely that can't cost that much to add to the console? You can redownload PSN games...its only the save game data you have to back up. You can buy a USB hub designed for the PS3 that adds the card reader back.

I'm not bothered about the usb ports, but I would like one on the back so it doesn't looks so messy when I plug loads of crap it.

chrizkerr2 Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Anyone know where I can order myself a good PS2 component cable? The normal scart cable looks fail on my HDTV and heard a component cable would make it look slighty better.
