So, what you're saying is; they combined a FPS with a stupid gimmick and a TPS with an even stupider gimmick?

They're not gimmicks, they were just implemented into their respective games as gimmicks. Fracture looked pretty awesome when it was first revealed. When it finally came out, however, terrain deformation was just not used correctly. I'm saying Singularity has the same sort of good ideas. The question is whether they will make it gimmicky or properly implement the ideas.

I hate all these gimmicks added to FPS games recently. I don't care about time travel or being able to make the enemies glow, I just want me, a fuck off massive gun, and hundreds of enemies between me and the exit.

haha oh wow.

Fanboys in the media.

I went to the Newgrounds Meet Up 4

Castle Crashers IS coming to PS3, this is what i heard from Mike who programmed the AI

Yay.

I'm just looking through Raven Software's development history and...

Holy shit, they developed Soldier of Fortune.

Singularity will rock and anyone who disagrees is an idiot.

That wasn't meant to be taken seriously, in case you didn't get it.

Then again, Haze and Lair have shown us that good developers can still fuck up.

I think singularity is a bastard child of timeshift and should be shunned, thou shalt not create images of timeshift.
SHUN THE TIMESHIFT CLONE, SEIG HEIL!

what?

That would be awesome. I'm wondering if they have the team to do it though. They're working on a third game, so it seems like they would already be occupied. I guess the AI programmer would know though.

Got my medic to level 30 today, finishing off the co-op trophies, so I can finally start the 10,000 kill grind in competitive.

That's fan-fucking-tastic!! They should make Alien Homid too for the PS3!

You should sell the story to some gaming site. You'll make millions.

Or at least be the flame bait of every fanboy.

I've seen hardcore PS3 Defense Force members be less fanboyish. I'm pretty sure that everyone's in agreement that MGS4 was great, LBP is fun with or without friends, and Resistance 2's online is the best around. Killzone 2 looks to be a great addition to that line up, and most people agree with that.

I do understand his anger; a lot of us PS3 owners are looking for ammo to back up our claim that the PS3 doesn't suck, and when a game as good as KZ2 comes out, we hop on it and ride it so high that it'll never be as good as advertised.

Misleading news article of the year. "Final Fantasy Vii PS3 in April". It's simply a PS3 with one of the many icons from FF7. Probably to hype up advent children DVD. Although AC is the most hyped up straight to DVD (well blu ray) release.

Not sure if old. Probably is but here's a secret feature of the clan tag in WaW.

No other news really other than a rumour of Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3.

I wached my weekly playr show. They did a bit on two particular games. Skate 2 and LotR Conquest. They were favourable towards Skate 2. They said all minor problems that came with the original were fixed. Though really it looks the same as the first. Expecting this game to become a yearly thing knowing EA.

LotR Conquest didn't look good either. Playr constantly mentions how the evil campaign is so much better than the good one. Plus unlike battlefront all the battles are in a small area. Except a few which do look decent but not enough to save this game.

There was nothing else really except the usual videos of upcoming games. None were worth mentioning until it gets nearer to the time they release or they didn't look good.

Shut the fuck up, you're never on Competitive.

But now that you are finally playing it, I can't due to my R2 disk being fucked.

Listen to this man. He's in the military, he's killed real chimera.

i bought the game, its not bad, but i don't recommend it to people looking for something innovative.

The onlines the only thing to look forward to in which everyone who can actually play the game well picks the good side, meaning if you hop on the evil, you get decimated and overwhelmed. I've noticed this after trying several servers. Everyone rushes to pick the good side. I don't know why. I think evils more badass, but everyone picks good and it ruins the fun.

I still play it and enjoy it, but it gets a tad annoying.

lmfao

Firmware 2.60 adds a couple of new features, none of which I care about. A snazzy photo gallery seems to be the biggest deal.

I heard that photo gallery allows you to share images with other people.

Though I am hoping there's more on taking screenshots in game (not selected games like the in game soundtrack did)

It seems like those features are only supported in PSN games when the features are first announced, and then abruptly forgotten. Sony needs to come up with a new feature so it can launch with the next Pixeljunk game. Monsters was one of the first to support rumble and Eden was the first to have youtube support.

I don't really care much about soundtrack. For most games, I prefer to listen to whatever the developer wants me to hear. I could see myself using it for an online game though. That way I could use my mic to force everyone in the same room as me to listen to whatever crappy music I like.

The screenshot feature would be nice to have across the board though.

Some games allow it. That I mean taking a picture and it'll send the picture to the XMB.Linger in the Shadows is one game that does this but it's not even a game. Though a lot of games have a "photo mode" but without being able to do anything with these pictures.

How about recording stuff in game? It is probably a bit too much strain on the hard drive. Though it's slightly different, on playtv when you record a TV show (30 minutes for reference) that takes up just under a gigabyte. Obviously nobody would record something that long in game (unless they plan on spoiling MGS4 but we all know the spoilers anyway....this is for argument sake). Depending on the quality of the recording will affect it. Chances are if Sony take on this idea (which is very unlikely anyway) they would de scale it to tiny mobile phone format. Plus only certain games would have this.

Yeah, Wipeout HD is the only one I knew of. Both are PSN games, or pseudo-game in the case of Linger in the Shadows.

Like I said, Pixeljunk Eden launched with youtube support, meaning it records and then uploads it to youtube automatically. Monsters also has it now, thanks to a patch. I'm not sure why it would be more difficult to do for bigger games. Maybe it would be more difficult for the developer to implement, but I don't see why it would be technically difficult. Singstar would be a fun one to have it for. Then the whole world could laugh at me, not just the Singstar community and you guys. LittleBigPlanet would also be perfect for it.

Can someone recommend me a good PSN game with somewhat easy trophies?

R2 and Uncharted disks are fucked, and I'm going to sell Far Cry 2 to get enough money for that PSN card for $20.

seriously what is "linger in the shadows"??

I was confused just by reading the description

Interactive arty farty 5 minute movie which comes with trophies although it doesn't really fit.

Does anyone know if you can backup a PS3 direct to a PC, rather than onto a storage device? Like, get a USB to USB cable, plug them in, and hit backup? I'd test myself, but it's a pain to get them close enough to connect, and for the PS3 to still reach the TV.
