Deathjam Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I don't like Burnout, which is weird because I like Wipeout. I just think that the tracks are too linear, which sounds daft when the game is compared to Wipeout.Basically driving big cars on narrow tracks with relatively little freedom isn't my thing. It all seems a bit too simple for some reason. Don't really know if I phrased it right. Racers like GT I like because it is more about the skill in the driving and drifting rather than seeing who can crunch who. Your description of Burnout hurts my eyes and is giving me nerd rage...must..remain...cool!

Deathjam Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Just let it out, you know you want to. :p OOOOOOOOOOOOOkay... I don't like Burnout, which is weird because I like Wipeout. I just think that the tracks are too linear, which sounds daft when the game is compared to Wipeout.Basically driving big cars on narrow tracks with relatively little freedom isn't my thing. It all seems a bit too simple for some reason. Don't really know if I phrased it right. Racers like GT I like because it is more about the skill in the driving and drifting rather than seeing who can crunch who. This is not a flame! You phrased it wrong trust me. Basically highlighted what I had a problem with, which is mainly all the points you made Linear tracks?! You gotta be high. You can pick your own path MID RACE and then you can shoehorn in LOADS of shortcuts, often with huge jumps thrown in the middle for kicks. Big Cars?! If you look at the pilots in wipeout, they are dwarfed (no pun intended) by the crafts the fly but I know you dont mean that. The roads are nowhere near narrow. If 4 cars can drive down one at the same time as dodging traffic, you know you have some space. Anyways, if they were insanely wide, it would be so difficult to acheive those takedowns. Relatively little freedom?! I can't believe you seriously think this. Look at the linear tracks as that covers some of this but the game is essentially freedom of choice on what you want to do within the confines of a car/bike, which is what I think you would want from a racing game. Simplicity is sometimes why games are so fun. Unneccessary complexities can sometimes obscure the objective of making and enjoyable game. Armored core 4 sadly springs to mind. I could continue, I really could, but I need a poo. AGAIN!
Deathjam Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 New trophy cards by playfire. Can use custom background http://www.playfire.com/a/create_widget Why does his look better than the official one?
Hero-of-Time Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Awesome! I've been wanting some R&C merchindise for ages. And here we were thinking for a game series to get some action figures it had to be about men, blood and bloody men. No! Because DC Direct are bringing us Ratchet & Clank figures. At the moment, we've got a single picture to go off, which reveals that there'll be at least three figures (Ratchet, Doctor Nefarious and Captain Quark), with each also including a bonus midget figure as well. Ratchet looks great, but what's wrong with Clank? Last time I checked, he had legs between his feet and his shiny metal ass...

I could continue, I really could, but I need a poo. AGAIN! Haha I knew after I wrote that I would be questioned. Look, when I was talking about linearity (is that a word?) I was thinking about Motorstorm where you have huge variations in track height, width and paths intervene with vast gulfs between them. Burnout has SSX like tracks where there are a few variations in tracks but will after a short while will get you in the same place as everywhere else. As for big cars - yes on some parts you can fit 4 cars in a row but it always feels narrow - It's like there's an open road where you can't actually go to all of it - it's cordened off. With most racing games you can go where you see even if it means falling off or skidding out - with this you are strictly caged in by the gates and fences. In this point I wasn't really talking about the proportion between man>car, more car>man I think this is my main quibble; with the cars you are more or less just constantly accelerating without need for vast drifts or movements - It feels more like reaction tests in turning left and right past oncoming pillars and traffic more than feeling in control of the car - it's not really anything like driving a car. I've probably just caused more damage but I think I explained myself a bit clearer. Thing is I can understand problems with what I have said I just can't really express it in a way that makes sense.
Daft Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I have news but I can't say. Some people will be excited. Almost makes me wish I had a PSP.

Daft Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Anyone fancy playing through Resi 5 from the beginning some time? I rented it and I can't really be bothered to cope with team AI.
Chris the great Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Anyone fancy playing through Resi 5 from the beginning some time? I rented it and I can't really be bothered to cope with team AI. im game for it, guy im ment to be playign with hasnt bought it yet.
Deathjam Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I am up for Mrcernaries coop. Ah i am guessing unannounced game? I wonder what it could be? Its going to be hard to beat LBP. IMO. p.s Won a clan game in a tournament last night for KZ2: http://www.killzone.com/kz/tour_round_history.psml?kz_match_id=2343381&kz_file_id=2082001 So close. Odd having a 1v1 clan match. Wow nice one Tegg. That was close! I would really like to drop into a team clan match sometime.
Daft Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Home message of the day: The floodgates will be opened. Are you prepared? im game for it, guy im ment to be playign with hasnt bought it yet. Awesome. How does this work? I've just started on super easy but I don't mind starting again. Only done 1-1. You up for playing late night? From around 11:30 onward or maybe tomorrow during the day? Or just tell me when is good for you. I'd be on now but I've got to go out now.

Awesome. Maybe I should change the difficulty. Does that mean I have to start again? It's a bit annoying you can't have more than one save file. See you for some zombie genocide tonight!
Deathjam Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Feel like I need a new PSN game. If you guys can suggest me one then here are my requirements: - Must be fun - Must contain some depth - Ability to jump in and out while achieving something e.g. burnout, complete a race, then switch to another game - mulitplayer would be cool but not neccessary - trophy support - must catch up! Just really need something that can fill in the gaps of boredom when I am waiting for my mate to be available to play resi 5 as thats what I REALLY feel like playing atm or when I am waiting for people to come online for a game of killzone. Oh and preferably below £10. Otherwise I would just go get warhawk.
LegoMan1031 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Congrats on the clan victory there Choze! We should defo try to arrange another team one very very soon! I would be very up for it.

It's a bit annoying you can't have more than one save file. See you for some zombie genocide tonight! i think you'd have to start again to up the difficulty, but its what ever your comfortable with really. edit. ive added you, so all should be well. i have a head set, so voice chat is an option. Edited March 21, 2009 by Chris the great
Aimless Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Can't Daft just select the chapter he's up to via Chapter Select and then up the difficulty? The game only saves your progress in chaptered chunks anyway — Checkpoints only count for the play session they're reached in, whereas your inventory is persistent across all your playtime even if you hop between different chapters.

Awesome, my headset is charged. I should be on from 11:30 onward. Any preference on the difficulty? I'm not too bothered, I'd just be a bit weary of doing it on hard.

Chris the great Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Cool, I'll probably try and put it on normal then. excelent. i did enjoy my run on normal. well balenced.
Daft Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Resi 5 was awesome fun last night Chris. If you want to carry on playing through I'm free from 2, or late night? Whatever's easier.
