Aimless Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Is there anything else out on PS3 in the next few months thats not MGS (hate it), or GTA (getting it for Xbox)? Want some new stuff for my PS3 in the next couple of months, not sure what. I don't think there's much in the way of exclusives for either console in the next few months. Everybody's Golf, which you obviously don't want, GT5: Prologue, Time Crisis 4 — which by the sounds of it should be avoided — and possibly Haze, although I don't think there's a fixed date for that yet. The next PS3 game I'll be buying is Vegas 2 on March 21th, presuming it isn't a rather rubbish port like the first.
Daft Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Haze is out sometime in May. I'll believe it when I see it. I'm really looking forward to it. I watched the videos of it on the PSN store and it just looks awesome. I just hope/pray they nail a good story.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Motorstorm 2 trailer shown! Sadly it was CGI but it's what their hoping to achieve! It will have four-player split-screen, 16 online! Have monster trucks and be set on a muddy tropical island! go to http://www.threespeech.com for the vid! All of this means nothing to me if they dont sort out the loading times, that killed the 1st game for me as they were stupidly long.
Domo Kun Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I just hope/pray they nail a good story. The story seems like it'll be complete rip off of MGS4, so they probably can't tell stories seeing as they couldn't even come up with an original concept. Oh well... Either way, I suppose the story doesn't matter so much compared to how it plays... it better be good. I found Timesplitters to be a huge let down after Perfect Dark & Goldeneye on the 64.

Yeah, I remember getting Timesplitters (might have been the second one) for the Xbox, got to about the forth level and dropped it. I just couldn't get into it. A good story is high on my list of priorities. BioShock nailed it. I guess I'm hoping Haze could at least be a bit thought provoking.
Owen Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 All of this means nothing to me if they dont sort out the loading times, that killed the 1st game for me as they were stupidly long. Yeah, they were long, your right.
Guest Jordan Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Firmware 2.17 has been released in Japan and no where else at the moment. Rumor has it, that 40GB PS3's now have back compat. I have no details behind this at the moment... and it isn't even out anywhere else. So we'll see. EDIT: ...Nope. From PS3 Fanboy.com: What is this? A new PS3 firmware update? What could be in it? And why such a random number? Mysteries abound in this random late night update. Stay tuned as we download the update and explore the new features of the firmware. [update: Doesn't appear Sony included notes with this firmware update. Most likely a few bug fixes have been included. If we find out more, you can be sure that we'll update.] [update 2: A post on the PlayStation.Blog lets us know that this is just a bug fix update. Specifically, online play for some PS3 games have been improved. Nothing to see here, folks.]
Guest Jordan Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah... same. What i don't get is, the hardware inside the 80GB is the same as the 40GB. Why the hell can't we just BUY the back compat from the PSN?!
ReZourceman Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Its annoying. Basically, my best mate is giving me a PS2 this weekend, but Ive got three consoles, and Sky all surrounding the main TV plus, if I get a chance to play on the big TV, then it will be to play a good console, or usually Live or something, thus I have to buy a dual TV/PC monitor (Clearance or whatever from Comet) and link the PS2 to that. A lot to do all for one game (Disgaea 2) Lol.
Domo Kun Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 So is backwards compatability definately coming for 40gbs, were just not sure when?

21st century cowboy Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I think this is the right place to post this. Well anyway, I'm thinking of getting a PSP in the next couple of weeks, like alot of people it seems and was wondering if you can transfer films you've downloaded on the net onto your PSP somehow? It's not a deal breaker but I would just like to know. Thanks
Guest Stefkov Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 If they're .avi files then yeah you can put them on a memory card and watch em. I used to have FF Advent Children on mine before I rid of it.
Daft Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I played more Crisis Core today. I saw one of the summoning things and all I can say is O M F G!!! I would say it was ridiculous but that would be an utter understatement, it was however damn cool! All I'm going to say is that it involves the Moon and some VERY large explosions. :p
LegoMan1031 Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 If anyone reads this thread and is looking into getting a PS3, i just seen a good bundle on gameplay. 40GB Console, extra controller, Resistance Fall of Man and Uncharted Drakes Fortune for £299.99! (Think it says the offer is for only this weekend) Seems pretty good price. Wish that bundle was there when i got mine... http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/productpage.asp?productcode=KT4510&title=playstation_3_40gb_with_free_uncharted,_resistance_and_extra_sixaxis_controller
Domo Kun Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 So is there going to be a price drop anytime soon to match the 360? If not I can't see the PS3 doing so well. But I will be pissed that I could've waited a little bit and gotten it cheaper.
Strider Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 So is there going to be a price drop anytime soon to match the 360? If not I can't see the PS3 doing so well. But I will be pissed that I could've waited a little bit and gotten it cheaper. To be honest i don't think they need to drop the price yet. The victory of Blu-ray will allow them to keep the price as it is for a while, i'm sure thats one reason why people may choose it.
Daft Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I played Haze and Soul Calibur 4 today. It was either a pretty early build of Haze...of this game has awful textures and pop up. It looks promising though. SC4 seems like they've slowed it down. Only had Taki and Sophitia to play with. I'm now less excited for it.
Aimless Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I'm just pointing out an alternative to Mike1988uk's deal. It doesn't have an extra controller, but it does come with DMC4 as opposed to Resistance and is an amazing five English pounds cheaper. So no, there isn't much in it.
KKOB Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Everyone seen this? http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=preBR0003
