Daft Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thats true - but my criticism with Dwarf was him moaning it was a rip off when it's the same price as Wipeout which he heaps praise on (justified) and says was well worth the money. Now if Fat Princess is a steaming turd of a game - I'll quite happily let you guys know to avoid it. However to judge it as a rip off before even playing it is narrow minded. They're completely different games so you can't really compare. Either way, I'm picking this up as soon as they update the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point exactly I'm picking it up too -looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Yeah, fair enough. I still think it should be £9.99 but if it's a good game I don't mind too much if it helps them develop more quality titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The best thing about the Beta was one of the taunts being "Frakkin' toaster!" I'm not too sure about Fat Princess. Obviously things might have improved greatly since, but when I played it the combat felt a little bland. It isn't like Castle Crashers where you've a host of branching combos to choose from, so the game's more MMO-like in that to succeed you want to stick with a well balanced group of classes. There's certainly layers of strategy and different tactics to employ, but when playing with the silent masses it's largely a case of around 30 of the players constantly battling it out in the middle of the map whilst one or two free thinkers from each side actually attempts something clever. I'm not saying the game is rubbish — the early connection problems marred my experience, for one thing — I just think people should be aware of the type of game it is. It leans on strategy rather than individual player skill, so if you're the type of person that's in it for the kills rather than completing objectives you probably won't get much out of it.

Happenstance Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was quite looking forward to Fat Princess but at that price I really would have prefered a demo straight away just to make sure its worth it. I dont think i'll get it for a week or so to wait first for peoples opinions and then hopefully a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Wait, PSN games don't all have demos? Nope, it isn't a Sony requirement unlike with XBLA. Good news for developers, bad news for anyone that unwittingly bought the Punisher. If a game's less than £5 — like Shatter or Noby Noby Boy — I don't think it really needs a demo, but Fat Princess should clearly have had a BF1943 style timed trial.

dwarf Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well when I said rip off it was mainly down to it being that I remember it being priced around £8 which I thought was very reasonable. However the dollar/pound conversion is pretty poor and I think if it's a relatively small online game with a few maps then there's no reason it should be more than Battlefield. I'm not denying it's probably really fun but sometimes you sort of know when a game doesn't quite deserve its price tag. With Wipeout they could easily have released it on blu-ray because of the content and production values it possesses. When a PSN game is sub-£10 it helps psychologically somewhat, when it breaks this barrier I start to think that maybe it would be better getting a full game that I've missed out on.

dwarf Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I played the demo for it, ultimate 'meh' game. I enjoyed the Crystal Defenders demo, I think I have a soft-spot for turret defense games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathjam Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Seeing as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 does not have it's own thread, thought I would post this here: Tecmo the cheeky sods. cannot wait till this game hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Let's say I was to get a PS3 and connect it to my TV using HDMI. What cable would I need to allow me to have the sound come from my speakers, which connect via the Yellow and White parts of a RWY (or a 3.5mm jack)? Basically, I would need something that pluggs into the PS3, that has the male half of a RWY or the male half of a 3.5mm at the other end.

Aimless Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think it's unlikely you'll be able to find a single cable that fits the job. You could output the audio via composite, feed the red and white cables from that into a 2.5mm converter — I got one with my 360's VGA cable — and then plug that into a 3.5mm jack converter. Can you not just connect your speakers to your TV? That might be a bit less convoluted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not just connect your speakers to your TV? That might be a bit less convoluted. Well, the speakers are a gaming chair. So when watching TV, the sound would be coming from the chair, and I usually sit on the bed for telly. Is it possible to split the sound to composite while using HDMI? I have a jack that plugs into the 3.5mm that splits into the female side of the red and white, so just need a cable to get the sound from the PS3 into a female of the same cable.

Yeah, you can select video and audio outputs independently, so I guess all you'd need is the composite cable that comes with the PS3 and any old HDMI cable; they plug into separate ports, so there's no issue with having them both connected.

Gizmo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ah excellent. I didn't think it would work through composite if I also had the HDMI plugged in. Sounds like it will be easier than I thought then. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Oh, if you're thinking of buying a PS3 you might want to hold off until the end of the month. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
