Nice job with the upgrade :D
I like the refining of the comment system, but hope that people don't abuse it and dock people out of spite. Can't wait for the forum to arrive as well. Keep up the good work!
I beleive the point of the wireless video playback is that with the 20 or 60 gigabyte hard drive (or whatever size you decide to put in a PS3), you can store a LOT of video; more than you could put on a memory stick or would care to carry around with you. So the goal of this connectivity is to be able to watch said video from anywhere on the go, as long as you're near a wi-fi spot. So, any movies or music vids and what-not can be streamed to your PSP.
Drum Hero. Drum Hero. Please let it be a Drum Hero. Or, if they were smart, a version that let you play drums and guitar with a friend. And given the popularity that karaoke have, you could have an entire band of gamers . . .
Indigo Prophecy is the title the game was released under here in the States. I own this game. I love this game. I'd place it in the top 5 games of the last generation. Based on Indigo, I'm quite confident that I'd buy anything Quantic Dreams puts out on faith alone. They created the most amazing sense of immersion that I've ever experienced within a game, and I'd love to see how greater graphics and physics and background can improve their story-telling.
Hmm. It might be worth it just to get around the codec issues alone, until Sony or some third party releases some.
But it has nothing to do with Sony's network. It's streamed over the internet; once you connect, it's not like Sony monitor's and tells you what sites you can and can't go to. There's not program running of the PS3, merely watching playback online. I do agree with the above poster about wondering what "all" means. The article implies that the device has to be able to stream whatever the content's format is, implying that the PS3 would need some codec upgrades (which it sorely do...
Oh, I don't doubt that I'm an exception. I'm sure most people that look at the system see it as a video game console only, that can do other stuff on the side. Those are the people who are upset at its cost and everything, as they have every right to be. $600 is a RIDICULOUS amount to pay just to play a videogame or two, but if you view it as more than just a gaming machine, then I think the value's apparant. Sadly, most gamers don't.
So yeah, I see myself as an exception ;-)...
I have 14 gigs of space left on my 60 gig ps3, so I'm fairly certain that down the line, I'm going to need more. But then again, I'm one of the people who brought the system just as much for its media functionality as its game play. I have all of my music on there, a huge number of videos (music videos, anime, and tv), and a bunch of photos. If I start managing to put HD content on there (like the 600MB movie trailers), I can only imagine that space disappearing even faster.
The ...
I myself am not a fan of racing wheels either, and don't miss the rumble when playing Motorstorm. But I fail to see how the sixaxis comes across as a BETTER racing controller. The tilt function is hyper-sensitive and darn near unusuable. Maybe it's something one needs to get used to, but unless they scale it back a bit, it doesn't compare to using the analog controls. And if that's the case, then you can't really say one controller's better than the other in that situation.
S...
He might have categorized it as such since they showed it playing off the PS3 and using the sixaxis controller's features.
The game looks nice, but incredibly boring to me. Then again, sports games are intendend for those who like the sport; I'm probably one of the few people who'd want a curling video game :-)
I felt kind of bad for the demonstrator toward the end, when she couldn't get a serve off.
No, there are games to be played on the PS3 as well. In January or February, there should be a firmware update released that will allow you to play these PSOne titles on the PS3 itself, and not just use it as a go-between. Hopefully, they'll also incorporate wirelessly sending files to and from your pc by then.
With the realization that 3rd party exclusives are going to become even more of a rarity this generation, it's the 1st party titles that you KNOW aren't moving anywhere that should help you decide where you want to go, gaming-wise at least. I've always enjoyed a lot of Sony's titles - with the exception of their sports games :(, and so look forward to what they can do in this new generation.
So long as there's a sequel/prequel to Shadow of the Colossus with online multiplayer,...
I'm by no means dismissing the value or order of any title listed, but at the very top of the first page, it says "Tokyo-based columnist Tim Rogers offers up his favorite 20 games of the year from Japan." It's a person's opinion; not a mass poll, not actual game reviewers, nor sales figures.
This demo here from earlier this year depicts the geometry modification that I was referring to:

I don't have any video of the final release to prove it's still there and done, but the reviews seem to indicate as such, and I haven't heard of it not being implemented.
You've got to be KIDDING me :( This was supposed to release tomorrow. Now I have to wait another two weeks.
*sigh*
Looking forward to it, whenever they manage to get it out. Love the pc version. Hopefully, there will be some way to save your progress.
A: I have little doubt that Nintendo patented every single piece of tech thrown into that controller, and
B: I'm sure that, just like every technology, this is Sony trying to lock down a certain version of it, and that it's different from Wii's.
I believe the reason it's counted as deformed terrain is that the vehicles react to it.
You start out with a flat surface. A truck comes through, and its tires leave a path through the mud; a deepened rut. If another vehicle comes behind, say . . . a motorcycle, you can see it move from the original terrain DOWN into the rut caused by the trucks tires, and then back out again. It changes elevation (although slightly) and any vehicles crossing these objects will realistically...
If they get this working well, that new 300GB laptop hard drive could be enticing. I have a Tivo now and love their service, and Sony would be hard-pressed to match their quality. Plus, you'd need some sort of adapter to record tv. I sitll have my heart set on the Series 3 Tivo, once the price drops (can finally record in HD!)
Unless this Tivo-like service involves the once proposed recording of actual gameplay . . .
Tivo already makes an HD-DVR. I'm just waiting for that $800 price tag to drop. Unless you were talking about an HD-DVR via a console or soemthing . . .
You two have done a great job with the upgrades here, and I'm eager to see how well it all pans out. I can't count how many times I swing by here daily to see what's going on in the gaming world, and really do appreciate having it as a resource. I'm not really one of the heavy posters here, but definitely want you guys to know how much your efforts are appreciated.
Keep up the good work :)
