PlayStation general discussion

[DarthSion]

Yes i have, and no i won't be giving money to racists, besides its EA they haven't made a good game in years they too busy pushing games out every year to make cash, EA QA is like airline food, honest politician ect ect.

I am really keen to see what the game insomniac will be releasing, and cant wait to buy the new ratchet and clank comic.

[RileyC]

Im not really looking forward to the new Medal of Honour myself personally. I loved the games how they were always based in the past and had great looking enemies, guns and scenery. The historical side just adds so much to the game. The hi tech guns will just ruin the experience for me. Sure gun fights may be good and the graphics are probably top notch but it just wont have that same feel.

I think EA should focus on their sports games. Give us another Cricket game or a new rugby one. I dont like seeing FIFA being updated every year while cricket and rugby are just ignored. They have so much potential and with new consoles they would work really well.

[DarthSion]

That's because they are American and like sissy sports, while many sports like league get ignored.

But league is only really popular in Australia and England. Cricket is universal except for North America and Rugby is used to have a game out every year then they just stopped them. Its stupid how they spend so much money on FIFA when every year its the same thing but with a new player roster and one thing that is minutely different its hardly an improvement.

[DarthSion]

Yeah i know, but then there are enough stupid people buying it every year so thats why EA is only about squeezing out as much cash as possible.

[DarthSion]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I was right, new ratchet and clank, all 4 one.

Not one, not two, but 4 player co-op, not just ratchet and clank, but also quark and nefarious.

Trailer, with fall 2011 release date.

Also insomniac have announced resistance 3.

[prateek]

w00t! 4 player R&C will be fun as heck! BTW, Commander Assassin, instead of getting MoH, just wait for Call of Duty: Black Ops.

[DarthSion]

More info on A4O, yeah he's right, i have been a fan since the first game on ps2, seriously they didn't go with four play, still i guess its not the first game to now have innuendo.(gladiator)

Any of you guys who have heard this jailbreak, its for debug consoles, not the ps3 you have so forget the hype of the so called mod to play back up games, and i would also guess forget being able to discus it too much on this site.

Right... You just got done saying you won't support EA because their racist (please explain), and then you make this comment?? And what sports do American's like that you consider "sissy"?

Besides, being an American based company doesn't have jack to do with it. They make games for a world market. Some might just might be more popular some parts of the world than others.

The reason FIFA is updated every year is because it's one of (if not thee most) popular sports in the world. That game is also one of EA's best sellers.

Companies like EA don't just make games to tickle their own fancy. They make games based on the consumer. Chances are if their's no rugby or cricket games, then maybe the market isn't as big as you think it is. That, or not enough people spoken up and shown interest. Maybe shoot off an email to EA and other Video game makes who specialize in sports and let them know you'd like to see game of your favorite sports.

[DarthSion]

there is a league game coming.

R&C all 4 in one looks good, but do you know if it has a story mode? With a name like "All 4 in One" it doesn't sound like it is like the other R&C games. [i do know it has 4 player co-op, im sure thats why they gave the game that title]

I am guessing you didn't play gladiator/deadlock, with that you played as ratchet and clank in 2 player, or if you played by yourself you got 2 robots green and merc.

With this it has been said if you want to play with 3 friends you can, if you want to play by yourself they give you an ai bot to help you, so in other words, if you have ever played the ttgaes lego games then its just like that but with 4 player limit not 2.

[DarthSion]

Seems Jailbreak is spreading like wildfire.

Mortal Kombat devs at Netherrealm Studios claims not only does the PSP2 exist but they are already in the hands of dev teams.

Did any of you guys end up getting a move, I have heard there are already bugs, the shooter demo has no cross-hair and games that show you in them are very grainy and not in HD as sony has claimed.

1. Shoot worked good for me.

2. The camera is 640x480. I don't recall that Sony has ever claimed otherwise.

I did play Ratchet: Deadlocked, I am not sconfused about the multiplayer, I'm just confused about the name. It does not seem to go with the other names of the R&C games.

By the way, I just got one of the new 160gb PS3 slims. I bought Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction as my first game. I want to get either 007: Quantum of Solace or Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 next, any suggestions on which one I should pick up first??

Edited September 20, 2010 by Commander Assassin

[DarthSion]

Simples, because the main 4 other names, such as 4 play were too sexually innuendo and they didn't want to scare off parents from buying the new game, i think they are trying to make this game more family friendly.

I have heard good things on ghost recon, then again your American, so you have blockbuster why not rent both and see witch you want more.

Personally i would suggest another method, but i think the mods would have kittens if i suggested it.

Edited September 21, 2010 by DarthSion

[???theriddler???]

From your list i like QoS the most. But i recommend:

Assasins Creed 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, GTA IV, Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet, Red Dead Redemption and Uncharted 1 & 2. But i think Uncharted 2 is one of the best ps3 games ever.

Don't most of the other R&C games have innuendo in them?? i.e. Up your Arsenal, Size Matters, Going Commando. I guess 4 play is a little much though, I see your point.

Blockbuster went out of business. (at least where I live) I haven't the faintest idea what your other method is though.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

Also, try Gran Turismo 5 when it comes out, if you like racing games.

[hewkii9]

Commander Assassin, here's some more recommendations [i'm heavily biased towards open-world games]

- inFamous - PS3 exclusive, good-sized city to wire-surf around in, and solid cover shooting.

- Just Cause 2 - Literally the biggest world in a console game, full of crap to blow up and cheesetastic voice acting. Grapplechuting.

- Assassin's Creed - A lot of people don't like this for the repetitive nature of the story, but it's three absolutely gorgeous cities to climb and one of the better video game stories.

- Assassin's Creed II - Adds considerably improved gameplay and a ton of new mechanics to the original, drops some of the story's intelligence, and wraps it in Italian flair. Get this if you have any interest at all in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood later this year.

- Batman: Arkham Asylum - Probably the best superhero game ever.

- Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - Cheesier than JC2 and pretty buggy, but it's almost completely destructible, full of vehicles, and you can get it on the cheap.

Yes but as i said they are trying to be more family friendly.

I see no other video stores near by.?

That is because the only other method isn't really legal.

Gee, you make us out to be so evil.

Anyway, are you referring to that silly PS Jailbreak? If so, isn't that dead, dead, dead? If not what?

[DarthSion]

Well i just meant i didn't think you wanted illegal hacking on this site, and no the jailbreak was made illegal to sell in Australia, but not before the code had been spread over the net and made free to use.

Its called PSgroove now, same thing just needs a usb micro controller and the hex code flashed and bobs your uncle.

LOL, dead, good one, ps3 hacking is spreading faster than copies of avatar did.

Does it work on the latest firmware?
