I thought that's what Prologue was? I'm expecting to be massively disappointed. I hope I'm wrong, but my hopes are at 4.2/10 at this point for it to be good.

I have hope but likewise my expectations are low. The fact that MS has released 3 versions of Forza since the last true GT game is ridiculous. I'm tired of all the promises PD makes without coming through on them, and not to mention the wonky physics when you make contact with another racer, for trying to be authentic cars shouldn't react like bumper cars, not to mention the lackluster sound effects. One thing though is that it will be beautiful, and if they can deliver on their promises it will be great.

It's since been announced that the Dec 17th demo is also for the US. And based on PD track record I imagine the release date will move from 3/10 to holiday season 10.

Optimus Fag
12-09-2009, 07:19 PM
its all because of one particular faggot called michael atkinson. basically the whole country wants him dead. he just has no idea. one of his latest arguments about not having R rated games, but why R rated movies are allowed, is because "we can control who sees movies in cinemas, we cant control what children play at home"

WHAT ABOUT WHEN THE FUCKING MOVIE GOES ON DVD FAGGOT CAN YOU CONTROL THAT TOO?!?!?! i guarantee for every 1 kid playing an R rated game theres 10 more watching R movies.

and yeah, im not even interested in the alien game anyway, never have been. but if gow3 gets banned im fucking moving.

im glad they've refused to censor aliens for release here, hopefully a few more companies take a stand.

goz, i must give you props for platting cod w@w. this game on veteran is the cheapest, most infuriating fucking game i have ever played. the amount of grenades these assholes throw is beyond belief. the one time i had 4 grenades surrounding me on my radar. im going through the game playing one stage on regular, then immediately playing that stage again on veteran so i remember where all the check points are and stuff (with the exception of their land their blood. i had to take a break from that one). and i still cant get that dumb pistol assassination one. i hear the sum of all zeros is a cunt too.

there is a big difference between veteran on w@w and elite on kz2. kz2 elite is legitimately challenging and fun to beat. w@w just makes me want to break things from the spam they shove down your throw. its like treyarch didnt put any time into making it actually challenging, they just programmed a grenade every 5 seconds thrown at you instead.

dude, just fucking WAIT till you get to the second last level where you gotta blow up 4 flak guns. my fucking GOD. ive been playing video games a long time now, and thats easily the hardest goddamn thing ive ever done. i wouldnt be surprised if i died like 1000 times on the 1 checkpoint. the grenades are fucking ridiculous, and just as annoying is that even though you're fighting with a bunch of other dudes, the whole other entire fucking army seems to be aiming at you and you alone. god just thinking about it makes me mad.

and yeah sum of all zeros was bullshit too. i will admit i danced around my living room when i got the platinum.

another infuriating trophy is that late boomer one or whatever on super stardust hd where you gotta collect 15 bombs. i KNOW i tried that over 1000 times cause of the fucking counter.

8-Bit Artist
12-10-2009, 09:37 AM
oh i know about heart of the reich. im hoping a few youtube videos can at least give me an idea of what to do but that wont take into account the complete randomness of grenades. and you know, when im watching youtube runs through veteran, my game always seems like 10 times harder.

for the pistol trophy, did you do it on recruit? i was trying to get that on normal, maybe thats what was giving me such a problem.

i only have like 5 levels left to go through on veteran, but who knows if ill ever complete them. ill try though.

whole lot of titties in that demo. haha. complete GOW clone.

really hate how i had to button mash O just to get my health/magic from those fountains. why cant i just open the fuckers? why must i mash O to open them. what is the gameplay value behind it? button mashing in general is almost as terrible as scattering around 100s of collectibles in a game. please stop with it game devs.

upgrade system is kinda like how it was with dead space as there is a tree to what can be unlocked. good side and bad side.

demo was decent though. ill wait till one comes into a gamestop used and plat it within 7 days to take it back for a full refund. if you like GOW, youll like this game. 360 only owners will like it more though since they cant experience the awesomeness that will be GOW3.

12-11-2009, 09:21 AM
so I'm not sure if I'm going to bother to plat Borderlands... I'm level 50 now, full cash, a crap load of good guns, beat the game once with all missions, completed the dlc and I'm half way through a second playthough but I'm bored with it... I have the online/co-op trophies to get, and the special ability trophies for the three other classes but I'm not sure I'm interested enough in playing through again three more times just to level up and use those special abilities... plus all those side challenges like "kill 10,000 rakk" and stuff, I don't think those actually get you anything but xp (which with the level cap is useless)...

does anyone actually enjoy replaying these games over and over?

blaine the mono
12-11-2009, 09:22 AM
i agree with 8-bit about the button mashing. shit is overkill. i'd rather they used quick time events, it at least makes you pay a little more attention. they already ripped off gow anyway, why not add a bit more?

8-Bit Artist
12-11-2009, 09:59 AM
gow did have a lot of button mashing. shits over played. if i want to open a door or a chest, like me hit a button 1 time to open it.

like in dantes, with the punish or save aspect. if you punish, you hit square once to kill them, if you choose to save, you button mash O. c'mon, why cant i just hit O once? aboslutely no point.

well it says arkham has moved. so im gonna throw a wild guess out and say its in gotham, which gives me a boner. maybe when joker was in the ambulance at the end of the first one, he escapes or something. from the looks of the trailer, it looks like its in a city setting so logically youd think its in gotham. seems as though two face and penguin have been confirmed in the trailer.

that video game awards show was garbage. i don't think any of the trailers showed more than 10 seconds of gameplay except for that racing game - which said "actual gameplay footage" and looked like a ps2 game. batman showed NO gameplay at all. that trailer was about as exciting as a visit to the dentist. for all we know, that footage could have been done during the first game's production.

im same as flipp, just the titan challenge to go. the second one sucks fucking ass.

about the upgraded blade of olympus, i played the game on normal, finished it, didnt get to upgrade everything. then i played it through on easy, got everything upgraded, and went into the challenges hoping they still would all be upgraded but no, they all drop back to the wepaons i had in normal. do i have to finish it on normal again to make sure i get the upgraded blade, or can i just play it until i get the blade upgraded and then go do it? sorry that made no fucking sense.

zombie, ive had a few trophies glitch on me. sadly the only way i got them to unlock was to delete my save data and start again. you can check www.ps3trophies.org and check their forums. maybe someone found a way around it.

i had one trophy from marvel ultimate alliance 2 glitch on me and i also had the kill amsel with just a pistol glitch from cod:w@w on me (killed that fucker 3 times until i deleted my save)

also, mega man 10 is coming to psn. fuck yeah.

should i bother with uncharted 2 even if i thought the first one was pretty bland? sure it looked nice and was fun for a few hours, but all the gunplay got pretty repetitive and the puzzles were pretty mindless. please tell me the second one is a little more interesting given all the praise it has received.

flipp jackson
12-20-2009, 08:49 AM
the second one was a lot better, but if you weren't big on the first one it's not like it's going to be a completely different game. I think it's compelling enough that if you have a PS3 you should at least rent it and play through it.

the exploration is a bit better and the puzzles aren't quite as dumb, but thats maybe a third of the game anyways, the majority of the time you're still shooting, which is better as well

so why are people praising AC2? this game isnt that good sans a few good assassinations. your worst enemy is the fucking camera. can i even die while getting attacked? cuz i never did.

the free running can be infuriating at times. my camera has to be completely on where i want to go or else ill jump into an open gap, fall and have to try again. double frustrating when you have a time limit to get or a certain place or chasing someone.

the side missions are pretty boring to. meh. if this was such a vast improvement over the first one, i cant even imagine playing that heaping pile of shit.

12-20-2009, 01:23 PM
You're right side missions are boring. This game does way too much for you, so I didn't get really mad when I missed a jump because I knew I was facing the wrong direction.

It does start to get easier to control the longer you play. If you want to that is. Ending is terrible just like the last game.

Optimus Fag
12-21-2009, 02:45 AM
Still smarting about the lack of memory on the PS3 or how it’s distributed? We have some good news for you: Sony have found some more. Though this statement might be technically true, the reality is that resources previously assigned to running the OS (Operating System), the amount of memory needed to run an actual PlayStation 3 in other words, has now been curtailed to a svelte 50MB. This figure is less than half what the PS3 originally required to operate at launch and is much closer to what the 360 needs to function (32MB).

Whooosh! Yeah, all very scientific, but what does this mean for your average PS3 game developer? Well, in essence, more memory to play around with.

If you’re asking how and where such advancements have been made, the answer lies in how Sony designed the system in the beginning. Not sure what the future entailed, the electronics giant allocated a full 120MB to the OS (which includes running the XMB amongst other things). Now that they know just how much memory they actually need, they can hand spare bytes back to the developers like digital trinkets. In fact, this latest gift is the second time a reduction in the OS footprint has been possible.

To us laymen, the document where this reduction is discussed is like staring into the Large Hadron Collider, drunk and upside down. A quagmire of Giggle FLOPS and such terms as “Element Interconnector Buses”, if you happen to be savvy with the technology behind what makes the PS3 work (or you’re suffering from insomnia and are fresh out of hot cocoa) go knock yourself out.

Our favourite slide of the bunch has to be #86 where it quite innocently asks “Any questions so far?”

Yes, lots.

since i basically only work saturdays and sundays, i feel like getting a platinum will eat up more of my time with said game. if i didnt go for the plat, id run through games really quickly and then get bored and have nothing to play.

I agree with you on AC after I beat that have had no real reason to play anymore. I hate all the collectible trophies to me they seem like too much of a grind.

was no one else as stoked on demon's souls as i currently am? i just started playing it last week and it's becoming almost an obsession. i can't remember ever having this much fun and thinking about a game as much as i am - deciding what to upgrade and how, what order to play the levels in, how the fuck to kill some of the bosses, etc. this is by far my favorite game of this console generation.

Ugh!
I was really looking forward to that game and I loved it at first but I eventually gave up on it. I beat a few bosses but playing it just became too frustrating. I could just try to go through it "Soul Arrow"'ing everything but that's lame.

Really. I heard the exact opposite. I haven't had a chance to d/l the beta yet. Anyone agree/disagree with Law's statement?

i disagree. it's pretty fun. i think it's probably going to fail in the end because the scope of the game is too big but it's nice to see people developing something different.

I bought it in a buy 2 get one the week it came out, but have yet to open it. I'm WAY fucking behind on video games. Still have Uncharted 2 to plat, i'm only done with 2/5 fallout expansions, etc... so I went to best buy with my sealed copy of D.S. and returned it for full price and put it down for a monitor. I figured I can buy it used later on down the line when I actually have time for it. But I WAS looking forward to it.

i just opened up the 256 man battles on mag and it's pretty fucking intense. your team is broken down into four 32 man units and each unit has four eight man squads. each squad gets a different type of mission and you head on your way. it's a lot harder to build xp than in mw2 and if you're the type to run around and kill everyone without teamwork or trying to complete the mission, you're gonna take forever to level up. being able to parachute in near the objective points is pretty awesome but you're vulnerable. shooting people while they're in the air though is sweet.

i recommend everyone giving this game some play time and seeing what you think. or you can be the faggot that judges it based on a shitty youtube video and potentially miss out on something you would enjoy otherwise.

yeah you have some vehicles but nothing to write home about. i agree bc2 is going to be better but there's something to playing a 128 v 128 that has to be experienced. i'm most likely not going to buy mag but playing around on a free beta is definitely worth it.

No. MAG sucks. A lot.

Edit: And in the interest of not being a "faggot" making judgements based upon a youtube video -- the controls are sluggish, the animations are poor, the game looks like shit, plays slow, and isn't fun.

You don't need to experience it.

i think the controls are fine. the game demands teamwork to succeed at entertaining though. if you're a rogue type player you will not like the game at all.

of course the game isn't going to look great, there's 256 fucking people playing (which not getting to play immediately was a poor move) and it plays slow because that's how it's intended. it's not supposed to be mw2.

is it for everyone? no.

is it great? no, but at least zipper had the balls to try something at least a little bit new instead of the same ol' fps shit we get month after month.

There are many (ok, maybe just a couple) things a studio can do to mitigate the environment cost and make shit look decent while still maintaining 256 players at once. I'm not saying I know how, I just know it can be done. There's kind of no excuse for not being able to discern, for example, between you and the enemy (especially when you use the same mechanic DICE uses for Battlefield to do so), or not being able to see ANYONE AT ALL EVER. I also laughed (like, out loud) at the "popping" transition between hip and sights.

The controls are fine? You try just turning around, yet? That was damn slow, and I don't like that a billion different buttons "ready" your various weapons, but whatever -- that's quibbly shit.

And yer right, I should be appreciative that they are trying something new. I am. They deserve kudos for pushing the envelope, absolutely. The game won't bomb, at least not bad enough that some other development house somewhere won't think they can't do something better. I'll probably play the shit out of that game.

01-07-2010, 05:08 PM
there's definitely some unexcusable graphically hiccups, which sucks since the game is supposed to be out in a couple weeks. i was just attributing it to the number of players and size of the map because i don't know anything about the development and what needs to be done.

i don't have an issue with the controls but i can see why one would. maybe i'm just used to a slower pace, i don't know. the ready buttons are a little odd though.

did you play enough to get to the 256 man games? i look forward to someone getting a hold of this idea and doing something epic with it. i don't think zipper is all that great.

Ok.

1. I take it back about them being able to make that game look better. There was probably nothing more they could do but murder the framerate.

2. After seeing 128 vs. 128 in action, it still sucks, but less so. Really though, after you get over the mass of players, its really just 64 people running to the same spot and getting killed. Looked like chaos, but not in a good way.

Bad Company 2 Reaches Uncharted 2 Graphics - DICE

Battlefield bad company 2's developer DICE has said that the game's graphical quality is reaching Uncharted 2's graphics, but wont surpass it. Producer Gordon Van Dyke has said in an interview that no game can claim to have better graphics than Uncharted 2.

"I wouldn't make that kind of claim," he said. "Uncharted 2 is an amazing-looking game. But we're reaching that level of quality. It's going to be hard for any game to be able to make a claim that they look better. But we are getting to, I feel, that level, where it's looking very impressive. When you see it - and I've heard other people say it as well, so it's not just me - other people are saying it's getting there."

He also went on to say

"The thing is though, we have much bigger environments. To even be close, to me is quite an honour as a developer. The one thing I did was, when I looked at their game I was like, damn them! What have they done to the rest of us? I was looking for something where I could say, okay, that we're doing better. I looked at their vistas, and I think that our vistas, because it's in game, this is actual in-game terrain you could theoretically take your soldier and walk up to, our vistas are better. Naughty Dog, if you hear this, I challenge you versus our vistas!"

I posted in the NIN thread, but it's also topical here. My PS3 can't seem to recognize MP4's, specifically that new NIN concert that was put out in various formats. I downloaded the version that said it was for the PS3. Nada. My system doesn't see the file anywhere. Streaming media hasn't been a problem. Just this format. Even tried putting it on a Mem stick so it was direct access. Nothing there either.

Have any of you come across this problem?

how big is the file?

when you put it on the flashdrive, you need to go to video and when you see your device you press triangle and then display all, you don't press x initially.
