Hero-of-Time Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Oh and is Metal Gear confirmed for 4/4/08? I'd give up my own mother for that game.l Nah. I think the latest rumour for a MGS4 release is June. For DMC4 and Ratchet and Clank download the demos. Ratchet is an amazing game IMO and well worth your money.
Daft Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I'm a bit ignorant on the PS3 front and I'm looking to get one soon so I'm just wondering if there were any rumors of an impending price drop or new SKUs? Also if I bought one now what are the chances of them implementing backward compatibility?
Guest Stefkov Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Probably no possibility on the Back compat. If you want that get the 60gig which'll be hard to find or just pick up a PS2. The latter would be the easier option, although I'm not sure what the range of games the 60gig can play. Still just get a PS2, they were £50 in Asda last year at one point, surely they must be cheaper now. MGS4 for June? Sounds ace.
seamus_aran Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 There will probably be a new SKU soon. Now that they've moved all production of the Cell Processor to 65mm, reduce costs further. I'm expecting a new SKU before June. Still, 45mm will make it even cheaper...

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 God of War: Chains of Olympus seems to be as good as it promised. Let's wait and see.
Daft Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Cool, cheers guys! I'll hold on a little longer. (Fingers crossed something is announced at GDC though, I'm a bit impatient! :p)
Strider Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 There is no way Resi will be out at the end of March. I used Play.com's release dates, not very reliable i know.
Guest Jordan Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Resi 5 = 2009. Seriously. RE4 was in development for like 4 years or something daft.
McMad Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Resi 5 = 2009. Seriously. RE4 was in development for like 4 years or something daft. RE4 was in development hell for a lot of that time though. If it weren't for one of the failed early concepts of the game then Devil May Cry wouldn't exist. Work on the real RE4 didn't begin until sometime after the preview of the final beta of the game at E3 2003. But yeah it's confirmed now that RE5 isn't going to make it for 2008, so this one is probably having problems too.

Columnar Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Lost Planet Multiplayer Demo is up on PSN this week according to CVG. Only lets you play with 8 people but the full game can be played with 16.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 God of War: Chains of Olympus seems to be as good as it promised. Let's wait and see. Indeed! I just read the review over at IGN ( http://uk.psp.ign.com/articles/852/852821p1.html ) and I cant wait for the release. I loved both GoW games on the PS2 and this looks like it will live up to the high standards set by the previous 2 games. I actually prefer GoW over DMC, cant wait to see what GoW3 looks like on the PS3.

I actually prefer GoW over DMC, cant wait to see what GoW3 looks like on the PS3. Theres no date for Europe, which is annoying, so i reckon end of March or April! So i've preordered from VGP and it's roughly £25! Looks AMAZING! MOST definately the PSP's best game, lets hope there's HUGE bosses come intact, that would be impressive.... Patapon and GOW: Chains Of Olympus in a few short weeks! PSP has finally got some new games! I must get the new Sypthon Filter game as well on it....
Owen Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Any news on a PS3 Syphon Filter? Not yet, there should be one though! Oh and 'Secret Agent Clank' PSP looks cool as well!
Fandango Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Not yet, there should be one though! Oh and 'Secret Agent Clank' PSP looks cool as well! It looks very cool, can't wait for it to come out! Finishing off Ratchet and Clank PSP right now, though its a great game its verrry buggy, for me at least.
Domo Kun Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I got my PS3! Oh wow! It's so awesome! Been playing some Assassin's Creed- incredible! I'm downloading a Burnout demo, it's 40% and it's been downloading for about an hour, should it be taking this long? My internet connection is fairly fast...
Strider Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I got my PS3!I'm downloading a Burnout demo, it's 40% and it's been downloading for about an hour, should it be taking this long? My internet connection is fairly fast... No i don't think it should. My downloads take about 10 minutes max. You using wireless?
Domo Kun Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 No i don't think it should. My downloads take about 10 minutes max. You using wireless? Really? Oh shit... Yeah I'm using wireless, but it says signal strength is 100%! Urm... on the connection settings status screen it says the following (which I don't understand)- -UPnP - Not Availible -NAT Type - Type 2 -Proxy Server - Do Not Use -MTU - Automatic -Channel - 13 Does that tell anyone anything useful? My PSP, Wii, PC all work very fast... My Wii downloads, for example, are fast... hmm... Help!
Strider Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I think it's been said before that the PS3 is slow with the old wireless. I use a cable, nice and fast. I'll switch over to wireless and give it a little download test. Yeh it's slower.
flameboy Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I think it's been said before that the PS3 is slow with the old wireless. I use a cable, nice and fast. I'll switch over to wireless and give it a little download test. Yeh it's slower. damn it that sucks a bit...will it affect online games much or just downloading?
Guest Jordan Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 The PS3's wireless is actually pretty terrible. Wired > All
flameboy Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 hmmm....that was a big plus point in getting PS3 over 360... that it was wireless out of the box and easy to use, plus of course no fee for online...
Guest Jordan Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Depends, i still prefer Live over the PSN. PSN's updates pretty much suck for Europe, the lack of cross game voice chat, universal friends lists...
