PS3 Discussion Thread

[Arukas]

Even now I'm more loyal to PS3 than I am xbawks .. I mean, microsoft has been delivering as of late and all - but I'm going to be laughing when all the diehards convert over to PS3 within the next year because they realize that most good multiplayer games are going multiplatform anyways, and the ps3 is still oferring free online play. lol

It's only a matter of time.


You DLing that update yet Marlie ? There is some pretty badass features they added in. and reap pl0x ¿

[Marlie]

68% right now. Just got off the phone with my Dad so the headset is a go-go.

[Arukas]

For whatever reason, they added another update since last I logged on, so I'm in the process as well. At 54% <_<

[WaveMaster]

Hmm.. I wouldn't advise you to download the Update it.
Sicne 2.40 I'm afraid to download any updates until I know it's safe. last one caused so much crap with the PS3 that I don't wanna risk my PS3 <<

@ Marlie - We need to play some Multiplayer game together , you can join Arukas D:

Yeah pretty much been a sony fanboy since I begged on my knees till I got the good old PSX with ONE game for a whole year (Rayman, that game is fucking hard for a kid i tell ya) but been looking at the game lists and seen more RPGs for Xbox than Ps3 (good ones) but I suppose that is due to the fact that the Failbox has been on the market a bit longer. I was in favor of Failbox because of more games and cheaper but 5$ each month doesn't sound cheap in the long run.

Fuck it, i am going ps3

Don't let people lie to you. PS3 has RPG's. More than 360 anyway. Some people just are'nt counting the onces that are over in Japan and the ones up for download on different PSN's like Dark Mist.

i played the demo, it was aight. The trailer made it look scary, so I wanted to play it. Just some surprises here and there. Nothing to make you shit yourself though.

How many chapters are there in total?

It has 12 chapters in total. It has a scary vibe in the game and it's rather scary.. but Resident evil is prob scarier.
The first Chapter was pretty easy/fast. I hope the others will be harder and longer.

ATM.
The only model of PS3 that can run PS2 games is the 60g model or the 80g model ( it has some problems and does not support all ps2 games ).
But since the 60g model isn't available anymore in the market due to Sony decision to stop making the model , Instead they created the 40/80g models.
Differences -

(60g) 4 USB vs (40/80g) 2 USB ports (Usually 1 port is for charging the controller).

No PS2 support in 40G Version (Removed completly - so if you feel the need to play old ps2 games, hold onto your ps2 ).

60G Cell processor has been made in 90micro meters technology. 40G has the same processor in 65micro meter technology. Uses less power.

Memory card slots were removed from 40G.
-------------------------------------------
From what I heard , they 80g model should be the same like the 60g model. it should run most of the games of PS2 . and it has the same USB ports and card reader.
And I think I remember in E3 that they said the 80g model is going to get cheaper. so it's worth buying that.

Sadly I never used the BC on my 60 gb PS3, but I just bought FFX and living the good old times like I did when I first played it in 2002. Ahh.. just so satisfying.

Anyways... Here is some Little Big Planet information from a dude who played it out at Comic-Con

Character Customization

• There is a Tron suit you can wear in the game, along with a killzone helmet and mask.
• Not only that, but there are about 25 different materials and designs that you can choose to have your sackboy made out of, including 3 types of camo.
• There are held items that you can choose from, such as a wooden sword and a magic wand (a stick with a star on the top). You can’t use them as weapons, but when you slap while holding an item you hit them with said item.

Level Editor
• For those of you that don’t know, you can switch back and forth between flying and running around by pressing *down* on the d-pad.
• When everyone has a menu open, the menus auto-adjust to the top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right corners to keep the screen clear.
• LBP comes with a nice 10 premade vehicles or so(I drove a lowrider!), but as with everything else you can edit them as you like.
• Logs burn. You can make a log, or anything out of wood, really, and set it on fire. We made a floor full of burning logs and then we drove a monster truck over them.
• There are “triggers” that you can place to have events happen right when you want them to. For example, you can make it so halfway through swinging on a rope across a gap, the rope snaps and you fall down to another area.
• Anything you can think of, you can make. Just be careful when making a “Sonic” level or a “Mario” level, because that won’t fly on the servers. Name it something generic that won’t warrant deletion.
• If you want to make carpet, you can. All you have to do is take a picture of some carpet, apply the sticker to something thin and soft(sponge, for example), and save the item.
• If you made a kickass vehicle, you can make that vehicle collectible through your level. For example, you could reward players who made it past a particularly difficult portion of your level with a buggy you made, which they could use at any time throughout making their levels. This applies to items, such as carpet, as well.
• The size of your crater on the moon corresponds directly with the amount of items you can place on a level. This way you can have a minigame taking up a small crater, while a full, hour long level would take up one of the largest craters.

The Construction Yard
• This is the level I got a chance to play three times.
• Eric (the producer) was really stressing the term “Coopetition”, which is cooperating so you can compete for the collectible items and points. For example, there was a lever that would slide a girder across a gap. It requires two people(at least) to complete. One would move the girder across using a lever, the other would grab the chunk of sponge at the other side, which the first player would now bring back with the same lever. That sponge was required to reach a certain height, so you could collect more goodies. In my case, I stood on the sponge with a friend while another guy dragged it across, and right before we got there I slapped my friend off so I could have the stuff to myself. That, essentially, is coopetition.
• The developers love to hide goodies that you have to find later. I didn’t notice all the stuff I could eventually collect until the third playthrough. If you’ve ever played Portal, and you know that usually there is more than one way to beat a level, the same applies here. The more difficult task you accomplish, the more collectibles they reward you with.
• At any point, you can bring up a sticker which is basically a live image recorded from your PS Eye. When you stick the image on a surface, it takes a picture at that moment, so you can tack yourself onto the walls in a level(or whatever else you feel like doing).

Emoting
• Emoting is awesome. Using the d-pad, you can select three different degrees of sadness, anger, happiness, and fear. For example, you press up to smile, press it again to smile big, and press it again to be ecstatic with your tongue hanging out.
• If you hold R2, the right stick becomes a controller for your right hand. The same goes for L2, the left stick, and the left hand.
• The sixaxis controls which direction your head is facing, and it was surprisingly intuitive.
• If you click and hold L3, the sixaxis controls your hips instead of your head.
• Using a combination of these, I made my guy do a pretty kickass hula dance. I forced him to do it, though, so he was pretty scared at the time.
