comesfrom the xbox people who are upset they cant go pass 120gb...but i dont see the point of ncaa...madden is a much better game..maybe EA will bring it this time around

its fake :S

sweet, plenty to get stuck into

I wonder if thats the same trailer i seen of prince of persia I really loved the first 1 sands of time I hope they do a good job on this 1.

Sweet, I got a new hot shot course. I love that game :) I'm not really worried that the Kojima "suprise" isn't posted or anything, I'm still playing the game.

does anyone know if the Metal Gear Database will be compatible with euro mgs4 or is it just a dictionary type thing that doesn't need mgs4?

edit: the stuff isn't up yet! well it isn't for me anyway

nice update, so much i want to dl from that list
HotShots course! wOOt!

hows wolf of the battlefield im gonna get the demo to check it out
but is it fun and pass the time?

however i was downloading nascar09 demo it suddenly slowed down while 90%

NCAA Football 09 runs extremely well on PLAYSTATION®3. The ergonomic design of the PS3 controller will make the PS3 version ofNCAA 09 the preferred choice this year.

$niper

Pretty cool update :]. Thanks Sony :].

Is the metal gear database an actual game add on, or launched from the xmb, kinda like folding@home? If its the first one which I feel it will be, does anyone know if it'll work with the euro/pal version of mgs 4. I know its a long shot but eh its late and I'm off to clear act 4 in a bit. What a frakin game!

edit* wow while I was typing that^ someone did the same, about the same thing and posted said "thing" before me. Nice.
edit 2* commando 3's a pretty solid remake. I d/l the trial for my 360 wednesday. The difficulty ramps up towards the end. The section where your floating down the river is just getting you warmed up.

I tip my hat to you good sirs

oh good this will make or break if i decide to buy NCAA football

we need mkv support on the ps3. I wonder if they would ever implement it.

was a good (ie not-not-not bad) idea, IMO. After skimming over the db for a couple of hours, I must say, it covers a lot (the big kind of "lot" - like a parking lot for walmart) of Metal Gear material.

In fact, I'm actually beginning to wonder whether the Metal Gear "universe" is bigger than our own. BTW, is it true that our "known" universe has roughly a billion-billion stars? If so, how did scientists come to this estimate (just genuinely curious is all)?

~1,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars <--- Just look at it. That's 10 to the 18th power, or 1 quintillion. That's like totally approaching avagadro's number (6.0221415 × 10^23) of frigg'n stars! Unbelievable , incomprehensible, unfathomable, unimaginable: these words don't even begin to describe the magnitude of the universe from a human perspective (assuming there are roughly that many stars).

*turning digress scale to zero, and on-topic scale to max*

MGDB blesses us with 70-odd MBs worth of just text? Simply. wow. Get out the reading glasses, the port-a-john, and two lifetimes worth of rations because you ain't gonna be finishing "The Holy Metal Gear bible" anytime soon!

~ 587,202,560 bits <--- Just look at it. There aren't nearly as many bits in Metal Gear's universe as there are stars in ours, but still very impressive in its own right. I mean just think about it, that's like 1/100 Bill Gates' net worth if we were talking in dollars rather than in bits!

Early Conclusions:

Good stuff. Very informative.

I.Like.a.lot.

disclaimer:

I base these comments on roughly 2 hours of digesting the contents. Give my stomach a couple more years and my impressions might change a tad.

For instance, I might change my comment from "very informative" to something like "very very informative" or maybe "very very very informative" or, for you math geeks out there, "(very)^4 informative X pi divided by a really small number"...

OR

Maybe I'll conclude that it's a bit verbose - a wall-o-text, if you will - that is a waste of your precious time (mine isn't so precious)...

...but that is not my initial impression and everyone knows that a first impression tends to nest in the colon for a long time.

Click on Fatal Inetria and there will be a demo for that game.

Holy crap it looks like EA developers finally figured out how to code for the PS3! We got 60fps on NCAA!

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
