Chris the great Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Oh well, don't care about trophies anyway clearly.:wink:
Diageo Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I dont, most of the games i play right now don't even have trophies because they are old games that I missed out on since i bought the ps3 late. I like the new ID cuz it looks nice and shows off the games you play. At the end of the day, trophies just tell you how many games a person has played, not really how good they are at them...
Chris the great Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 i actualy think trophies are changing how i play games. im so concious of them its stupid. i have to check what i can get, lest i miss some easily obtained virtual medal. i guess its just the 5 skin within trying to get out.
Daft Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I like trophies within a game. Adding them up though kind of gets a bit dull after so much.
dwarf Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I really want a new Crazi Taxi game on the PS3. I loved the first on PS2, they should definetly give it a revamp, it was ultimate arcade goodness. Great music, mental characters and awesome jumps and stunts.
Calza Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 My friend has a PSP lying about and he was thinking about Custom Firmware, it is an original launch PSP which I know is the easiest to install the firmware on to but I'm a bit confused about stuff like the Pandora battery and Magic Memory Stick. Are these necsarry to run cfw for his PSP or do I just need to download the firmware and load it on to his psp?
flameboy Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I really want a new Crazi Taxi game on the PS3. I loved the first on PS2, they should definetly give it a revamp, it was ultimate arcade goodness. Great music, mental characters and awesome jumps and stunts. I keep thinking about picking up the PSP version its not meant to be great...but have a proper hunger for it... "Hey Hey Hey, it's time to make some crazy money, here we go..."
Ashley Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I'd love a new Crazy Taxi (preferably on the Wii as thats all I have but hey ho). I loved the first, would be great to have it shown more love.
dwarf Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I keep thinking about picking up the PSP version its not meant to be great...but have a proper hunger for it... "Hey Hey Hey, it's time to make some crazy money, here we go..." It's still good on the PSP despite what reviews say, the controls are fair enough and it looks pretty much identical. At a fiver you can't complain. And yeah the catch phrases were awesome, as well as the track by the Offspring - All I want 'YA YA YA YA YA!!!' And yeah it would probably be better on Wii but since I sold mine I'd rather have it on PS3.
Daft Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I just got the trophy in Prince of Persia for Elika saving me less than 100 times... I have NO idea how I got it. Half the time I just threw myself off edges for fun.
MATtheHAT Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Just ordered Battle Fantasia from ShopTo, I know its overshadowed by SFIV, but it looks nice with the Anime style. And its made by the same people that made the awesome Guilty Gear. Plus its £22 so nice and cheap!
That Guy Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I'd love a new Crazy Taxi (preferably on the Wii as thats all I have but hey ho). I loved the first, would be great to have it shown more love. I know, just think of what they could do with Crazy Taxi. Really could have been amazing if they went all Burnout Paradise with it.
flameboy Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 PSN it SEGA. Yeah that is the best way around it...it is despite how fun it is quite a shallow game and a decent price point as a downloadable would definitly work.
dwarf Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Yeah I'd definetly buy it if it was say £15 on the store, as I'm sure many people would.
That Guy Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I hope Sega can get back to being the company that created so many amazing Dreamcast games. I've pretty much given up on Shenmue 3 but there's no reason another Crazy Taxi couldn't be made or stuff like Space Channel 5, especially now XBLA and PSN exist.
dwarf Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Choze you can get it in Cex for a fiver, so there shouldn't be any problems picking it up for around that.
flameboy Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 looks like dwarf has kicked off a new found crazy taxi craze...
flameboy Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 fun free roam game. Rare nowadays. Yeah true. I think so many open world free roaming games tried so hard to create the most realistic all encompassing world that has loads to offer and variety etc...whilst a free roaming world with a singular focus can be just as enjoyable... I'm off into town later will see if I can pick up a copy of one of the versions on the cheap.
dwarf Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 ^ Yeah but imagine how fun it would be to frag him lol.
flameboy Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Well looked for crazy taxi fare wars in town...could only find it for £19.99 new in gamestation reckon it can be got cheaper...watching a few copies on ebay will try and pick on up on there.
chrizkerr2 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Just got the latest OPM through the door. Got a God of War 3 feature on it!, with some new screenies I have never seen before! Game looks lush <3
flameboy Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, did you not try Cex? Ah well. No CEX in little old Harrogate...would have to go to Leeds.
Dante Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Sony Faces Heat From Game Publishers to Cut PS3 Price Sony Corp. is under pressure from video-game publishers to cut the price of the PlayStation 3 console or risk seeing more development funds shift to Nintendo Co.’s Wii. Sony, which has resisted calls for lower prices, is likely to shave $50 to $100 off the PS3 this month or next, said Mike Hickey, an analyst with Janco Partners Inc. in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Starting at $399.99, the PS3 is $200 more than the lowest-priced Xbox 360 from Microsoft Corp. and $150 more than the market-leading Wii. Three years into the latest generation of game consoles, Sony is stuck in third place, data from the manufacturers show. The Tokyo-based company, once the dominant player, has half the worldwide users of Wii, even though the PS3 has earned praise for its processing power, graphics and Blu-ray movie player. U.S. sales of the PS3 have declined for three straight months. “If they can’t meaningfully increase their install base, then you will likely see a capital reallocation,” Hickey said. In 2008, Activision Blizzard Inc., the world’s largest game company, generated 32 percent of its console revenue from Wii titles. That compared with 19 percent for PS3, according to Activision. Electronic Arts Inc. is releasing some titles solely for Wii as part of a push to stem two years of losses, and showcased games for the Nintendo player at a company event last week. “You can’t ignore the guy who has half the market,” said Peter Moore, head of sports games at Redwood City, California- based Electronic Arts, maker of the “Madden NFL” series. ‘A Ways to Go’ “Sony obviously still has a ways to go with their pricing,” Moore, a former executive in Microsoft’s Xbox division, said in an interview. Electronic Arts is committed to the PS3 and expects a cut eventually, he said. PS3 games increased to 27 percent of the company’s console sales last quarter, bolstered by a popular soccer title. Sony has no immediate plan to reduce prices, said Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America in Foster City, California. “Everybody in the development community would love for the PS3 to be free, so they could just sell razor blades,” Dille said in an interview. Sony is concerned with profitability, as well as the installed base, he said. Sony, the world’s second-largest consumer-electronics maker, is in the middle of a corporate overhaul, cutting 16,000 jobs and closing factories. Chief Executive Officer Howard Stringer took over the main electronics business last month and named Kazuo Hirai, who leads the game unit, to head a new division combining Vaio computers, the Walkman and the PlayStation. Exclusive Games Sony is benefiting from exclusive titles for PS3, including the recently released “Killzone 2,” and non-gaming deals like the one announced March 10 to deliver movies and television shows for NBC Universal over the PlayStation 3, Dille said. Earlier this month, PS3 weekly sales in Japan topped Wii and Xbox ahead of the release of Capcom Co.’s latest “Resident Evil” installment, the Web sites GameSpot and IGN Entertainment reported, citing researcher Media Create. Not everyone predicts a big shift in spending, because PS3 and Xbox 360 share many titles and costs. Game companies who fail to commit enough money to PS3 risk losing business, said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games Inc., the Cary, North Carolina-based maker of “Gears of War.” “You make very good money on PlayStation 3 if you develop a good game,” Rein said in an interview. “You can very easily take that game to Xbox 360 or PC.” Seventh Generation Sony climbed 1.1 percent to close at 1,913 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It has lost 54 percent in the past year. The seventh generation of game systems began hitting stores in November 2005 with Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Sony and Kyoto-based Nintendo followed a year later. At the end of December, Sony had sold 21 million PS3s worldwide, compared with Nintendo’s almost 45 million Wii players and Microsoft’s 28 million-plus Xbox 360s, according to the companies. PS3 sales in the next 12 months are likely to total 14 million, compared with 28 million Wiis and 9.7 million Xbox 360s, according to the Daiwa Institute of Research, a Tokyo-based researcher and consultant. Price cuts have an immediate impact. Sony reduced the PS3 price from $499.99 in October 2007 and sales more than doubled in the next month. In September, Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft released its lowest-priced Xbox 360, at $199.99. The company almost doubled Sony’s U.S. shipments from October to January after trailing PS3 in the prior three months, NPD data show. Two Directions “Anytime a console manufacturer reduces the price, software publishers benefit,” Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer of Ubisoft Entertainment SA, Europe’s largest video-game maker, said in an e-mail. Game makers now focus development in two directions: one for the top-selling Wii and the other for Xbox 360, PS3 and personal computers. Titles for Microsoft and Sony are typically more expensive to produce. Sony posts a loss on each console it makes at the current price, according to researcher iSuppli Corp. “The publishers need the PS3 install base to grow in order for most of these games to be profitable,” said Evan Wilson, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon. “It’s an easy equation for them, but it’s very different from the one that Sony has to take on.”
