Retro_Link Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Cheers guys! I'm in no rush to get a second controller, so I'll probably follow your advice @Aimless and wait and see if I see any offers. But DS3 it is then! May also look at getting a steering wheel at some stage for F1 2011 and maybe GT5. Probably will get a remote, as I think it's probs something everyone will be more comfortable using if they want to watch a Blu-Ray. So that's it then!
Cube Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Probably will get a remote, as I think it's probs something everyone will be more comfortable using if they want to watch a Blu-Ray. Before you do: What TV do you have?
Retro_Link Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Before you do: What TV do you have?It's actually a Sony TV. Edited November 24, 2011 by Retro_Link
Cube Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 It's actually a Sony TV. Check to see if it has Bravia Sync - it will allow control of supported devices over HDMI with your TV's remote.

The TV remote obviously doesn't have buttons like play and pause etc... so would other buttons on the remote potentially double up?

I was just checking as I was looking for a TV remote and accidentally discovered the feature on my Panasonic TV (and on top of that, my Android phone can control my TV, which controls my PS3).

MadDog Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 When you getting F1?! Looking forward to the online races that hopefully happen. Me and will had a couple of races on our co-op career, it was really good fun. :p

Me and will had a couple of races on our co-op career, it was really good fun. :p I've got F1 btw...bought it last month not played all that much struggling with a shitty team at the moment but love it. Only done 3 races of my first season and no points on the board.
MadDog Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 We should get some races going, would be great if there was a few of us at least.
ReZourceman Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Retro which games are you getting? I can recommend ; Super Star Dust HD from PSN. Uncharted Uncharted 2 Uncharted 3
Retro_Link Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Do you already have a 360 Retro? Nope just a Wii and 3DS... I tend to play 360 games when I see Eddage... the co-op's, like Gears and Rainbox Six etc... Retro which games are you getting? I can recommend ; Super Star Dust HD from PSN. Uncharted Uncharted 2 Uncharted 3 I won't really be buying games until Uni's quietened down, which'll be a good few months into next year, but on the list is... To Buy Uncharted Uncharted 2 Uncharted 3 F1 2011 Sonic Generations Batman Arkham Asylum --- SSX Tomb Raider Maybe's/Some of... GT5 Infamous Infamous 2 Mass Effect 2 Batman Arkham City Portal 2 Red Dead Redemption Heavy Rain God of War Collection God of War 3 Dead Space Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Edited November 26, 2011 by Retro_Link
Happenstance Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Soooo many great games you'll be able to play then! Im just playing Mass Effect 2 through for the first time and its fast becoming one of my favourite games.
Retro_Link Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Soooo many great games you'll be able to play then! Im just playing Mass Effect 2 through for the first time and its fast becoming one of my favourite games. Have you played the first one?I was wondering what it would be like going straight into the second game. In many respects it's great because the gameplay/menu's was vastly improved so it's a much more enjoyable game, but just wondered if it mattered missing that part of the story?
Happenstance Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I played a bit of the first one when I had my first 360 but not nearly enough to get a sense of story. With the PS3 version of 2 you get an interactive comic story with it that explains what happened in the first game and allows you to make some key decisions in it that will come up again in 2.
Sheikah Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Nope just a Wii and 3DS...

GT5 Infamous Infamous 2 Mass Effect 2 Batman Arkham City Portal 2 Red Dead Redemption Heavy Rain God of War Collection God of War 3 Dead Space Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Write down Skyrim first, it's awesome. Uncharted is great, but you will have it finished in no time (unless you care to take up multiplayer). Skyrim has the combination of sheer awesome and length too. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are worth checking out too, amazing titles.
Daft Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Add Saints Row 3 to that list (because you also get Saints Row 2 with it free, which is spectacular). Also, if you buy Assassin's Creed: Revelation you get the first Assassin's Creed free and discounts on the other two.

Make sure you check out the Little Big Planet games, brilliant and great concept with an actual community unlike most games nowadays. Since you have F1 2011 I would also put GT5 up there. Best racing game by miles. Wipeout and Motorstorm are also fun games. MGS4 needs no explanation. Yakuza, 3d dot heroes, Valyria chronicles, flower, etc. But yeah take your time. Have fun with the systems media stuff too. Edited November 26, 2011 by Choze

Skyrim has the combination of sheer awesome and length too. If there's one game he should not get first - at least for the PS3 - it's Skyrim. By the time a GOTY edition containing all kinds of DLCs has been released, these issues might have been fixed, too.
MATtheHAT Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Mass Effect 2 on PS3 is just wrong. Yet feels so right.

Little Big Planet I'm just not sure about, I see it being way to time consuming to come up with anything vaguely decent. Yeah Motorstorm looks pretty fun, which is the best of the three? Not a fan of Metal Gear, and always preferred F-Zero to Wipeout. Ah yeah, Flower looks really interesting... and there's that new one a bit like it set in a desert?
