Posted January 23, 2010 Decided to get the London pub thing on Home yesterday. It's not bad, if anyone wants a look, let me know when I'm online. Also, if I bought a club thingy, would anyone here use it? Yeah I'd use it, go on Home now and again for a mess around. It's one of the best games I've ever played. And that list isn't long. Same here on both counts. Its up there with Uncharted 2 and Batman as my games of the year last year! Plus its up there overall full stop....I also don't have a big list.

Posted January 24, 2010 Wow, high praise indeed! I thought Flower was just going to be relaxing fun! Can't wait to play it but i'm saving it for the new HD setup I have back home. Played a bit of Final Fantasy Vii today (which I'm betting looks worse on a HDTV!) it's still very good - I was worried it would have aged badly. Everyone should pick it up.

Posted January 24, 2010 I didn't like Flower much, but I really like the idea of Sony releasing these types of innovative games. Its the main reason I bought it and games like Noby Noby Boy. To support these Devs who are making risky titles that could potentially be a disaster. Its the reason I will buy Heavy Rain, although I have no doubt it will be fantastic. If it was merely average, I would still buy it just to show support. Although if it was a total bombsite of a game, then I wouldn't buy it. I'm all for innovation, but I won't completely waste money.

Posted January 24, 2010 *joins the Flower love-in* It's beautiful. Best use of the (usually) Suxasses on the PS3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 24, 2010 Strange logic there. Not really. Most developers have not made the most of the sixaxis so rather than support developers in doing so introduce another motion device to further confuse developers when trying to make their decisions on control.

Posted January 24, 2010 YES and also shows why the arc doesn't need to exist as people havn't even sussed out the sixaxis.... That's because there isn't anything really to suss out. Flower & Tools of Destruction made decent use of it, but it's not really a feature - its very limited. In effect its a primitive extra analogue. How often would a game need to use it? Not very, which is why we haven't seen much of it. Arc could actually do something cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 24, 2010 Wii has a remote and a controller, worked fine for them. Regardless I'm not buying it, unless my mum wants it :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2010 Had no idea that L.A. Noire was still not confirmed as a multiplatform game. I wonder if this is another PS3 exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2010 Wii has a remote and a controller, worked fine for them. Regardless I'm not buying it, unless my mum wants it :P But the Wii Remote is the primary controller. The Classic Controller was just an optional thing you could buy to make playing VC games more enjoyable. With the PS3, both the DualShock 3/Sixaxis and the Wand, or Arch, or whatever they're calling it, will both be primary input methods, assuming the wand takes off.

Posted January 25, 2010 It's Coming Out On The 4th of February. Thank you. So I'm half-looking forward to XIII... But only half. The last FF I played was VII, haha. Have a missed... much? In terms of gameplay that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2010 Thank you. So I'm half-looking forward to XIII... But only half. The last FF I played was VII, haha. Have a missed... much? In terms of gameplay that is. Probably not, though my opinion on this isn't that qualified as I missed XII, which was probably the most innovative if you like that the series had done up to this point. The previous ones in the Sony era were all basically the same, bar different characters and magic systems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I do primaryly think with both Arc and Natal we will see a more casual focus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2010 Especially if you look at the way Resi 5 is going to control with it. I mean, since nobody has an arch yet, just try holding the Dualshock 3 in one hand, and a Wii remote in the other, and press all the buttons on the left side of the dualshock. It just doesn't work that well. Really, Motion/Pointer controls work well with some games. If a shooter is designed to use it, it can be good, something like Zack and Wiki was really good with the Wii remote. The problem really rises when developers try to force the use of it. There are so many Wii games that would have been better with certain actions mapped to buttons. Good examples being New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Animal Crossing, some aspects of Red Steel (and by the looks of things Red Steel 2). BTW, those two points are separate, Resi 4 was great on the Wii. Resi 5 has different problems.

Posted January 25, 2010 Looks like the PS3 has been cracked : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8478764.stm It only took them 3 years though ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2010 Seems strange the the Beeb published that much information on it. Will that mean he'll try and get an insane trophy level? Probably wouldn't be any point in that but I wonder what sort of shit he could pull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2010 Speaking of Trophies I have a question about them, before I even go on I just want to say I'm not going to do this I was just thinking if it was possible the other night. You know If you go round to your mates who has, lets say for example a Trophy Level of 10. Could you log out of his PSN, log in to yours then sync Trophies? Cause the way I see it is that all of his would sync to yours and visa versa. As when you sign out of PSN you can still view your Trophies as there stored on the profile. Confusing, yes. I was just wondering if it was possible and if so why loads of people don't do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
