dwarf Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 It's been a while since Sony announced some big games. Obviously we had E3 but most of those games were shown prior to the event so I'd like to know what the plans are. There are 5 games that I'll definitely be buying, but it'll be interesting to see if the system has legs. (5 games being: God of War III, Heavy Rain, The last Guardian, Bad Company 2, and the inevitable 3rd installment of Resistance.)
flameboy Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Mother 3 is the sequel to Earth Bound (SNES), but you probably knew that already. Anyway, in case you didn't know, Mother 3 (GBA) was only released in Japan. So some people with a lot of time on there hand, decided to make a fan translation patch for the Mother 3 ROM. The PSP has a GBA emulator, however it can only be run on PSP's with custom firmware. As you've already upgraded your PSP's firmware, installing Custom Firmware might be more problematic. If you want answers, then I suggest you look on youtube and Google, for something called Pandora's Battery. By the way, this is all totally worth it, because Mother 3 is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Played it right to the end and I don't complete many games now a days. Good Luck! Hardly a bona fide reason to buy it...he could just play it on a gba emulator on his PC?!
The Lillster Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Hardly a bona fide reason to buy it...he could just play it on a gba emulator on his PC?! I understand where your coming from and I agree, to a degree... OK, maybe Mother 3 shouldn't be the sole reason he buys a PSP. I was merely advertising Mother 3 because it's such a great game. In my opinion, playing the game on the PC, would detract from the experience. In my option, PSP is worth it not only for the great PSP games, but if you can get homebrew etc... it's even better.

Not arguing for the sake of arguing...although I have had the mother 3 fan translation sat on my computer unplayed...
Cookyman Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Anybody bought Gravity Crash yet - I'm tempted!
dwarf Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 It's out?! That's the only PSN game I've been interested in for the past ages. Will have to buy. How much?
flameboy Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 It's out?! That's the only PSN game I've been interested in for the past ages. Will have to buy. How much? Didn't it come out today (remember reading it was out on a tuesday and thought it couldn't be right) Think it costs £6.29. Same here only PSN game i've been interested in for a while.

dwarf Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Yeah it's up there, there's a demo too. Awesome, it's probably going to be up there in the top 3 PSN games, I just loved the look of that trailer they released a while back. Quite busy with Borderlands, Dirt 2, Bad Company beta and potentially this and MW2 within the space of a month.
Cookyman Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Tried the demo - very very old school with a nice visual sheen - Nice!
dwarf Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah it's pretty cool, so much easier with twin sticks.
Daft Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 If you missed the MAG Beta, sign into the site with your American account for a Beta Code. There's no limit, they're just giving them away. http://psnbeta.us.playstation.com/MAG/getBetaVoucher.php I'm downloading now.
dwarf Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Got to level 28 in the beta so I could buy a grenade launcher attachment amongst other things, the game was just bland and generally shit. It didn't help that there were tons of spawn glitches but really it's not that special.
dwarf Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Well yeah I'd have signed up if I hadn't played it, wasn't trying to stamp on your curiosity. Just don't buy the full game.
Daft Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 PSN Terms of Service changed, only 3 activations allowed Makes sense. Well yeah I'd have signed up if I hadn't played it, wasn't trying to stamp on your curiosity. Just don't buy the full game. I got bored of MW2 after a week. Online doesn't interest me enough to hand over money. Unless it's co-op. ...and it works...

Online doesn't interest me enough to hand over money. Unless it's co-op. ...and it works... Hmmm that activation thing sucks balls. I think I have my whole 5 accounts filled up, just not sure which ones. I wish there was a way of checking which systems you wanted activating with, because it'll probably mean that 2 friends that share with me will be disconnected. Wish I'd only activated friends systems in hindsight. Unless what if I de-activated my system, and then enabled reactivation just for my friends? Confusing.
Ryan Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Looks like I better not delete Wipeout HD again..
Tellyn Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks for the input the other day guys. I think I'll be getting rid of all of the games I got with the PSP, so I'm looking for some new software. Loco Roco and Patapon are on my to buy list. Can anyone recommend some decent titles? (And has anyone got Little Big Planet?)

Wish I'd only activated friends systems in hindsight. Unless what if I de-activated my system, and then enabled reactivation just for my friends? Confusing. I wouldn't deactivate your system if I were you because it sounds like you wouldn't be able to reactivate it unless you deactivated another three of them. I might be wrong though. Edit: Yesterday all hell broke loose when it was discovered on an official PlayStation website in the terms of service section, that PSN users were only allowed to activate 3 systems per PSN ID. It turns out that despite being on a official PlayStation site, the information was incorrect. Thanks to the EU PlayStation forums Community Team Leader, MusterBuster, it’s been revealed to be nothing more than a typo. You are still allowed to activate a total of 5 systems (PS3 and PSP) per PSN ID. Everyone can now put back their torches and pitchforks. Sorry riotous mobs. http://playstationlifestyle.net/2009/11/25/dont-fret-psn-system-activations-still-at-5/ Edited November 25, 2009 by Daft
Emasher Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 5 actually sounds like way to many. How many PS3s/PSPs do people have? Also, Flower has had a price cut on the US PSN store.
MATtheHAT Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Tried the demo - very very old school with a nice visual sheen - Nice! Mmm, I really enjoyed the demo and am tempted to download it. Although Pixel Junk Shooter is out soon, so may just wait for that.
flameboy Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Mmm, I really enjoyed the demo and am tempted to download it. Although Pixel Junk Shooter is out soon, so may just wait for that. Yeah noticed Eurogamer had reviewed it today...Downloading the Gravity Crash demo though to give it a chance...
dwarf Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I thought Gravity Crash looked better from the trailers, and it plays how it looks, which is pretty good. PJS just looks like there's one background and a mechanic that'll become a novelty after the first 2 levels.
Daft Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Eurogamer's review of PJS sold it to me. Don't really like how GC controls.
