That Guy Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Okay, after a 10 month love affair with my PS3 my 360 is back on and on gold. Tomorrow I'm off to pick up Fable II and a plug and play charger thing. I'M BACK!!! Woohoo! My games list still leans towards 360. It's at like 5 PS3 games vs 25 for 360. I do really like my Playstation though
Daft Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Woohoo! My games list still leans towards 360. It's at like 5 PS3 games vs 25 for 360. I do really like my Playstation though I'm going to lean more toward my PS3 because of PSN and because I have a 320Gb HDD in there but it's stupid of me to not take advantage of my 360. Would have done it sooner but moving house just meant it sat in its box and Fable II is the first game in a while that has really interested me. Left 4 Dead next.
Chuck Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 According to Gametrailers Dead Space is the best of this weeks games. It got 8.8, Far Cry 2 got 8.7 and Fable 2 got 8.6.
Flaight Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Also, why would this FFVII remake be such a big deal, and why is it that it would never happen?I will happen (on a console or two), but just a question of immediacy. SE knows FFVII is HUGE and it's like the final nuke in their arsenal just in case the whole universe collapses around them on a apocalyptic scale. The Red Button they have their finger on, if you like. :awesome:

spirited away Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 My 360 keeps has overheated twice in the last few days...anyway to help prevent that? (bearing in my it's well ventilated).
Ganepark32 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 If it's well ventilated and still managing to overheat, it may mean there is a problem. If your playing for hours and hours on end then all I can say is cut down the play time. But as I said, it could well be a problem with the console and there really isn't anyway to prevent it until it can be confirmed through error message or RRoD.

Definitely not playtime; it cut out after an hour and a half yeserday. Hopefully i'll get the RROD soon - my warranty is up.
Dante Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 SF2 hd remix change list Ryu * New move: fake fireball. qcf+short. Ken * Strong dragon punch is invulnerable on the way up, exactly like Old Ken's, and also always knocks down. It's now a 1-hit move, not 2-hit. * Fierce dp has bigger arc, always knocks down, juggles against jump-ins, but no additional invulnerability. * Short helicopter has shorter duration * Medium helicopter kick goes slightly farther * Roundhouse helicopter kick goes farther and faster. * Roundhouse helicopter kick does less dizzy * Air roundhouse helicopter goes slightly farther * "Crazy kicks" have simplified joystick motions.

(Old motion still works.) * Super does slightly less damage. * Uspide down kick is an overhead * Upside down kick slowed down slightly * Upside down kick can be performed at any range, not just close range, by holding towards+roundhouse. * Upside down kick is more vulnerable, allowing Sagat's low tiger shots and other moves to hit it.

Blanka * Horizontal ball has safer recovery. * Horizontal ball with jab and strong have same sound effect and same spinning speed as fierce version. * Horizontal ball with jab and strong travel slightly shorter distance so whiffed roll into bite is a little more effective. * Diagonal ball has faster startup and safer recovery. * Hop move has new command: hold stick left or right then jab+short OR strong+forward OR fierce+rh.

As before, this hitbox is only active for 6 frames out of the entire lariat. * Hop move can only be done with towards + fierce. No longer possible with back+fierce, back+strong, or towards+strong. * Hop travels farther forward, slightly higher, and has slightly better recovery. * Jumping (forward/away) strong has hitbox that reaches slightly farther forward. * Low fierce has slightly higher hit box, mainly to hit Vega's off-the-wall attacks. Chun Li * Removed df+medium kick move. * df+roundhouse (the "neckbreaker") no longer crosses up, removing the loop of repeated knockdowns. * Lighting legs easier to execute (mash kicks) * Lighting legs do less damage and have a little worse priority in Chun Li's stomach area. * Aerial spinning bird kick can be done with charge down, up+kick, so that you can do it after a headstomp. * Aerial spinning bird kick travels more straight now, then falls in an arc at the end * Ground spinning bird kick has a new parabolic arc. It can also air-juggle and deals a fair amount of dizzy. * Super does slightly less damage.

Fei Long * Flying Kick motion changed to qcf+k * Short version of flying kicks have additional frames of partial invulnerability, allowing them to go through fireballs at the start * Flying kicks have lower priority on first hit, allowing them to be countered air-to-air a little more easily. * Flying kicks have 5 additional frames of recovery * Medium and roundhouse flame kicks always knock down and can juggle * Short flame kick is no longer safe on block from point-blank range. * Rekka Punches travel a little farther * Rekka punch motion is a little more forgiving, so it's not as hard to get all 3 in the series. * Super travels farther * Fei Long's head is vulnerable during 4th and 5th hits of the super (and can't go through fireballs during that, but still can during first 3 hits). * The super causes a different angle of knockdown so that comboing after it is difficult/impossible. * Super meter gains slightly reduced on flame kick and flying kicks. Dee Jay * Machine Gun Punch, much easier to get all the hits * Machine Gun Punch destroys fireballs * Machine Gun Punch does less dizzy and less damage than before. * Medium and Roundhouse Dread Kicks, 2nd hit sped up so that it almost always hits if the first hit connects. * Medium and Roundhouse Dread Kicks have a few frames of foot-invulnerability at startup * Medium and Roundhouse Dread Kicks have reduced damage because of improved ability to combo T.Hawk * Hawk dive command changed to jab+short OR strong+forward OR fierce+roundhouse while in air (old command ppp still works) * Hawk dive's bounce changed so it ends with T.Hawk close to enemy and safe on block or hit. * Hawk dive does not knock down * Special throw command easier: hcb,f+p OR hcf,b+p, and you can actually start in down/back or down/forward (Original 360 command also still works.) * Special throw now has a whiff animation if you miss. * Super command easier: hcb,hcb,f+p OR hcf,hcf+p. * Several of T.Hawk's normal moves are from Old T.Hawk, such as stand roundhouse and low roundhouse. * Fierce dragon punch now always knocks down and juggles * Fixed a bug where a stray hitbox on low strong could be hit from very far away.

CoolFunkMan Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Grrrr, just about to bloody watch Fight Club, 360 beeps at me...turn it off then on..3 fucking rings, i'm peed off. you can send a 360 back again if you've already sent it off before right? As long as it still has the warranty, then yup! Sorry to hear your 360's broke. :/
khilafah Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 60GB HDD! noticed this on play-asia. October 31st release date in Asia. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-31fe.html
Emerald Emblem Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I keep my 360 with my Computer on my Computer desk which is next to my window, so I just keep my window open and let the natural power of cold air keep my 360 cool, of course during summer I'll have to cut down on my playtime.
Letty Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Urgh. I just put Fable 2 in my disc drive for the first time, and my 360 died. First it was like, 'Lol, I'm flashing one red light at you, you thought I was a gonner!!' And I was like 'Shit man, don't scare me like that!' So I took out my hard drive and booted it again. Then it was like, 'Lmao, your profile isn't on your Memory Unit now, wtf are you gonna do!?' So I was like' T__________T' *restart* The it fucking has 3 red lights!! Bullshit. *Goes to Jordan's 360 with Fable*
Daniel Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Aww that sucks, everyones seems to be dying recently, makes me a bit scared to switch mine on :S
Letty Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I think its actually a false alarm. It gets to the dashboard when I dont have the HDD or MU in, so I think its the MU thats fucked. However, its not connecting to XBL now, and mu profile is on my MU T_T Either way, the red lights have stopped :s
S.C.G Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Either way, the red lights have stopped :s For now... it's the first sign :/ they all die eventually... every single one of them.
Guest Jordan Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I was on the phone to her and it appears that her MU jacks have actually fucked. She can run games, get on the dash and everything if nothing is inserted on boot, if an MU is inserted on boot it RROD. Bizarre, but then again if she can just use her HDD, problem solved.
S.C.G Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 ^^^ Random... O.o I naturally assumed it would be on it's way out but I guess Three Red Lights isn't always death as it can denote many problems... usually though in my experience, when you get it and then it goes away again you can almost guarentee thats when the problems will occur and that 360 death is imminent. :/
Hero-of-Time Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I got my Elite back from Microsoft this morning, was suprised how fast they were getting it back to me. Apparently the motherboard was the problem.
Fresh Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Well it was going to happen in the end. My 360 flat lined today and the 3 lights appeared. I've done the online repair thing.... *sigh*.

Daniel Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I got my Elite back from Microsoft this morning, was suprised how fast they were getting it back to me. Apparently the motherboard was the problem. I.e. they replaced the motherboard on a guess and it just happened to start working again :P
