I've had to do Pro difficulty twice. Make that 3 times when me and IrishGun eventually start it and finish it.

Is there a particular part you're stuck on?

I see EU store has fallen massively behind on Rock Band DLC again.

AFI pack was weeks ago, so was Going Country. Should have been Rock And Roll High School by the Ramones this week, which I would have bought, not this stuff.

I sure as hell won't, it took me literally forever to get the 10,000,000 on bonus mode one so screw boss rush. MAG is decidely average, it isn't that great to look at, the weapons, even the sniper rifles are pea shooters and without any officers directing traffic it becomes a mess.

I also might be moving away from my precious triple. Might be purchasing a psp go, dont even try to stop me.

I'm toying with the idea of getting one. I've got an original and it's looking rather battered after 4 years.

At chapter 2 I think, me and Grant (BlackOps) started a while back but then just gave up. If I did it I'd be able to get the rest of the trophies at long last.

Just finished assasains creed 2.

AND WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED.

Now to embark on my feather collecting quest.

I'd recommend one, my mate got one a few weeks ago and I had a play on LBP and MGS:PW, both are really fun, MGS especially seeing as I'm a massive fanboy :3 The controls actually work really well, but it's a little annoying that you can't crawl :| only play dead like MGS4.

The 16gb of internal memory is epic, plus you can use memory sticks so that's cool, and the graphics and loadtimes of games are a damn sight faster than the old PSPs.

only problem I can see is playing Monster Hunter on it, after playing it for 3 years I've adapted to the 'claw' position, in order to run around and move the camera at the same time, not as easy on the Go..

I would avoid getting a PSP Go; it's simply not worth the high price tag. I expect Sony will iterate on the system again, or possibly just reveal a PSP 2 at E3 or Gamescom.

I lol'd.

Demon's Souls is pissing me off. I beat armor spider with ease, but I'm still having a hell of a time killing Tower Knight.

US got the country pack today. EU just missed out on Blink 182, Paul McCartney, Rock 'n' Roll High School and Psychedelic Furs.

I know. I meant to say that I know more about him than you.

For those who care and didn't know, the Rock Band 2 Network Store patch was released today.

The Network Store allows artists to get their music into the Rock Band store much quicker by removing the licensing agree from the equation and replacing it with a freelance developer who can code a Rock Band song.

Looks like the rumor that Natal won't have its own processor and will instead take up some of the 360's might have some weight to it. Apparently the lead developer is estimating Natal taking up about 10-15% of the 360's processing resources. This may or may not be a big deal. I would imagine most games that are really pushing the 360 probably wouldn't use Natal in a very meaningful way, so it might not make any difference at all.

What does Natal have to do with PS3 Jerk? Besides, Natal is just a glorified EyeToy / PS Eye. I mean, it's not like what Natal is doing is something new. We've been tracking body movements and shit since like 2004 in games.

Going Country has been on Xbox Live since 29th December.

I'll give you that it is unrelated, but you're so ignorant.

Heavy Rain Feb 23rd. Same day as Splinter Cell: Conviction.

Darksiders any good?

Seems my radar didn't pick that up and it's getting favourable reviews.

It's ok. It's a good rent for a rainy or snowy weekend. I wouldn't buy it though.

I quite like it. If I had a 360, I'd probably buy Bayonetta first though.

You ask how it's related and then abruptly bring up a PS product. If Natal's successful, it's very relevant to Playstation, as camera controls will likely become pretty common. Maybe Sony will start utilizing the PS Eye more.

Regardless, the restriction of posting only about Playstation-related things, much less PS3-related, has never existed as long as I have posted here.

What the fuck? How is it ignorant if it's fucking true? They even said Natal wouldn't work with high-end 360 games, aka "It ain't compatible with Halo and other fucking games."

I could've sworn that Heavy Rain had a Feb. 23 date worldwide a few months ago in a PS Blog interview.

Jerk - Also, don't need to come off as a dick. I'll give you the fact that you can post whatever you want, but don't make it seem like a give a fuck if you can post whatever you want.

Are you really going to start this? Really?

I don't think they ever stated it wouldn't work with "high end" 360 games. They have already showed it working with normal games like Burnout. Microsoft showed off Milo and Kate. While it was a lot of smoke and mirrors, it is hardly a gimmick game like roll the ball in the hole or Brick Breaker. Peter M has also hinted at Fable III using Natal which is one of the 360's biggest franchises.

Hardcore gamers will "love" Natal
List of Developers working on Natal:
Activision Blizzard
Bethesda Softworks
CAPCOM
Disney Interactive
Electronic Arts
Konami
MTV Games
Namco Bandai
Sega
Square Enix
THQ Inc.
Ubisoft

And yes, I still think the statement you posted was ignorant. What you said is like saying the "Gem" controller for the PS3 is nothing but a glorified Wiimote. Unless you do believe that of course.

Yes I also think that the PS3 Wand is basically a Wiimote. Basic shit, buttons, 1:1 motion tracking.

How about both of you stop it? That whole argument had about one good point in it, that it's nothing new. Everything else was just rage from both of you.

As for me I don't want to trash Natal but It will probably last as long as every other motion sensor type attachment. I mean like scetch said about the eye toy, That lasted maybe about a month before it went under the radar. I honestly think people will find something wrong with, connection, sensitivity, actual gameplay or something. But of course they probably have some explanation saying that nothing can possibly be wrong with Natal. But I stopped believing in that a while ago.

Same goes for Ps3 wand thingy.

I don't see why everyone hates MAG so much.

Maybe it's because an SFCR-LW with a grip has almost no recoil, and I use it all the time, and my guy for that class has sunglasses, but I like it way more than MW2 or any other shitty game everyone plays.

Motion sensing is inherently shit.

You know, unless you're using it for a decent rail shooter or something.

Personally, I think it will be more relevant than the PS Eye or Eyetoy. It has the ability to track certain body parts, along with the depth of it. It's also much more accurate (I remember hearing that you basically need a small sun in your living room in order for the Eye to pick you up).

But by no means am I saying it'll be like what jelly was to a peanut butter sandwich. It's still an upgraded Eye. I just think you guys are selling it a bit too short.

Same goes for Ps3 wand thingy.

Once again, selling it a bit short. It has all of the capabilities of Natal (supposedly), with the ability to actually play a game.

It's not rage, I'm pointing out it is being backed by big developers and already announced for big games. He can think what he wants about the product, but saying it isn't going to be used or aimed for the bigger games is just wrong.

Microsoft actually first pushed the wand thing years ago.
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/p eople/awilson/wand/default.htm

They never really went with it and decided to go into a different direction. Motion sensor technology itself is pretty old and we saw it in products like the Power Glove. I like the PS3 Wand better than the Wiimote because it looks to be what the Wiimote should have been from launch.

At 1/8/10 08:07 PM, TheMaster wrote: Motion sensing is inherently shit.

It's the lack of force feedback that makes it so; if the wiimote gave actual recoil and weight when playing an FPS game, it would be incredible.

My PS3's acting up. The brightness is fine on the xmb, but it's fucked up on every game I play. When I turn it on it says 'An error occurred, you have been signed out of playstation network', then it signs me in. I sign in, but it doesn't show anyone on my friends list. When I tried to play uncharted 2 online, it said I had insufficient space, even though I have well over 40GBs free. I also can't connect to modern warfare 2 or LittleBigPlanet online, yet I know I'm connected to the internet because I can access the PS store and the internet browser. And to think that an hour ago none of this shit was happening.

Stretchy you should call Sony. Sounds like your PS3 is mentally unstable. (Retarded.)

My little brother got Lego Rockband for his birthday yesterday from a friend. He tried starting the modes, but it wouldn't let him without a peripheral, which he doesn't have any of. So he gave me the game since I have Singstar microphones which are compatible.
