Choze Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Its just a video game awards show, what do you expect?
dwarf Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Just got my PS3 back, restored it but, not much info actually carried over. Just some users and some music. Gonna have to get all the game data utility back on there, plus I'm gonna have to live without my wipeout save, which isnt too bad really because I never played it after getting the DLC trophies. Hopefully will get to play BC2 beta again before the night is out.
ReZourceman Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Online gaming on PS3 not working for anyone else today?
Emasher Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Online gaming on PS3 not working for anyone else today? Its working for me.
dwarf Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I take my comment about BC2 being the best multiplayer shooter back. I relived the awesomeness that it KZ2 with a friend for around an hour, was brilliant. Obviously I will still be getting BC2, and it is amazing in its own way - though I feel snipers are too powerful - but the brilliance of KZ2 goes underappreciated.
Daft Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Maybe we should get some forum Xmas Killzone action going.
LegoMan1031 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Maybe we should get some forum Xmas Killzone action going. I'm up for that! Sounds like good fun, been along time since we were all online on it!
Deathjam Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Maybe we should get some forum Xmas Killzone action going. Very much up for that.
dwarf Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah count me in for that. After selling everything I dont have much to play anyway so I dont mind playing a ton more.

Dante Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 This week Famitsu shows of the Monster Hunter spin-off called Monster Hunter: Poka Poka Airu Mura that was announced few months ago. Animal Crossing + Monster Hunter = Cats Scans: DOA - Paradise [PSP]
MATtheHAT Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 For those that can't wait until tonight, that Gran Turismo Challenge thing is available from the Jap store. Its only 200mb so takes a couple of minutes to download. There are some incredible lap times already, and all seem to be using a wheel, I can't get within 10 seconds of the leader with a DS3. I just want the full game now....
flameboy Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I'll wait for the EU version but can gurantee I won't be anywhere near the best times...
MATtheHAT Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 We could do an N-Europe leaderboard, could be pretty fun and you don't have to be ultra leet to be competitive.

Dante Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) PS3 Will Support 3D Blu-ray Spec The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) today announced the finalization and release of the “Blu-ray 3DTM” specification. The specification, which represents the work of the leading Hollywood studios and consumer electronic and computer manufacturers, will enable the home entertainment industry to bring the 3D experience into consumers’ living rooms on Blu-ray Disc, the most capable high definition home entertainment platform. “Throughout this year, movie goers have shown an overwhelming preference for 3D when presented with the option to see a theatrical release in either 3D or 2D,” said Victor Matsuda, chairman, BDA Global Promotions Committee. “We believe this demand for 3D content will carry over into the home now that we have, in Blu-ray Disc, a medium that can deliver a quality Full HD 3D experience to the living room.” The “Blu-ray 3D” specification fully leverages the technical advantages of the Blu-ray Disc format to deliver unmatched picture quality as well as uniformity and compatibility across the full range of Blu-ray 3D products, both hardware and software. Notably, the specification allows every Blu-ray 3D player and movie to deliver Full HD 1080p resolution to each eye, thereby maintaining the industry leading image quality to which Blu-ray Disc viewers are accustomed. Moreover, the specification is display agnostic, meaning that Blu-ray 3D products will deliver the 3D image to any compatible 3D display, regardless of whether that display uses LCD, Plasma or other technology and regardless of what 3D technology the display uses to deliver the image to the viewer’s eyes. “From a technological perspective, it is simply the best available platform for bringing 3D into the home,” said Benn Carr, chairman, BDA 3D Task Force. “The disc capacity and bit rates Blu-ray Disc provides enable us to deliver 3D in Full HD 1080p high definition resolution.” The Blu-ray 3D specification is also designed to allow PS3 game consoles to play back Blu-ray 3D content in 3D. Additionally, the specification supports playback of 2D discs in forthcoming 3D players and can enable 2D playback of Blu-ray 3D discs on the large installed base of Blu-ray Disc players currently in homes around the world. “In 2009 we saw Blu-ray firmly establish itself as the most rapidly adopted packaged media format ever introduced,” said Matsuda. “We think the broad and rapid acceptance Blu-ray Disc already enjoys with consumers will be a factor in accelerating the uptake of 3D in the home. In the meantime, existing players and libraries can continue to be fully enjoyed as consumers consider extending into 3D home entertainment.” The Blu-ray 3D specification calls for encoding 3D video using the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) codec, an extension to the ITU-T H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) codec currently supported by all Blu-ray Disc players. MPEG4-MVC compresses both left and right eye views with a typical 50% overhead compared to equivalent 2D content, and can provide full 1080p resolution backward compatibility with current 2D Blu-ray Disc players. The specification also incorporates enhanced graphic features for 3D. These features provide a new experience for users, enabling navigation using 3D graphic menus and displaying 3D subtitles positioned in 3D video. The completed specification will be available shortly and provides individual manufacturers and content providers with the technical information and guidelines necessary to develop, announce and bring products to market pursuant to their own internal planning cycles and timetables.

Gizmo Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Is it just me who feels the GT demo thing is rubbish? The steering is odd, the default controls are stupid and the visuals aren't as good as I'd expect, even from a demo.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Trying to get the 'My Blaster Runs Really, Really Hot' trophy in Ratchet & Clank and it is driving me to tears. My highest score is about 8500... Yeah its a bit of a nightmare that one. Apparently its easy as hell if you do it in 2 player mode so you may wanna give that a try.
Daft Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Yeah, I don't really have any friends that play games and can be bothered to help.
flameboy Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Is it just me who feels the GT demo thing is rubbish? The steering is odd, the default controls are stupid and the visuals aren't as good as I'd expect, even from a demo. I was certainly expecting more graphically, and yeah the steering was a bit off...
LegoMan1031 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Was starting to make progress on Crack In Time on Hard for my last trophy (bout 3 hours in) when the game froze on me, i left it going for abit (could hear console reading disc) but after 15 mins turned off console and it fucking corrupted the save data!
