The PS3 Clubhouse

[-1nf1n1ty-]

after looking at the playstation store games even the classics, I really REALLY wish some sega saturn games were on here /cry just sayin

 

[Jaffakeik]

Why dont they put there big games like 2gb+ all that are on discs should be there aswell

i agree, they have multiple gig psp games but no psone, two, or even smaller ps3 games... makes no sense...

Wow, Uncharted: Drakes fortune has one of the most frustrating boss battles I have ever seen. Barely enough ammo? Check. One shot will kill you? Check. Invincible boss till the end section? Check. Ammo in the last area vanishes the second you leave that area? Check. Give you no time to react from a cut scene so you get tenderized by underlings? Check. Your cover is destructible, but theirs isn't? Check.

Finally got past that mofo though.

Well, add me to the list. I have been kicking around the idea of buying a console for a while and found an unbeatable deal on a PS3 Slim last week on Hardforum and it got here today. I haven't owned a console since I sold my PS2 a few years ago and it's quite a culture shock. Damn I'm old. I don't own any games or Blurays yet.

Quick question: Parents/Older siblings out there: I have a five year old boy that likes playing games. Are there any age-appropriate games out there for him I should look into picking up?

+1 to Little Big Planet, its fun.

+1 to Little Big Planet, its fun.

It's probably the most re-playable and overall enjoyable game I've ever played. I'm on my second actual playthrough of the Creator Curator levels right now. But, I can say that it is a whole lot more fun when you have a real person there to play with. The online is great but has been laggy in my experience, so I mostly stick to the story or IRL friends. I love to take in the atmosphere of the different level regions, esp. the Indian levels which I think are absolutely beautiful.

Still waiting for GT5!

LOL, I cant helping thinking its going to be poo! Which would be a shame, since its been in development for nearly 12 years now

 

[digibucc]

well i watched the HD video on PSN yesterday and it looked like crap. the graphics were seriously lacking ... which to me was the main reason to play GT games. I know a lot of people like the controls in them, but when other older racing games look better, there is an issue.

Sure there is going to be disappointment (every game has it), but I have no doubts the game is going to be epic.

You better get your eyes checked, it is the best looking racing game out there by far!

 

[digibucc]

well idk what to tell ya. watching the 1080p preview video it looks nowhere near as good as Dirt2 or even Shift. is there something i am missing?
"get your eyes checked" is not the best suggestion - perhaps you should do the same? see how much sense it makes? this is called a differing of opinion.

It might be the best looking console racing game - but with GT i would expect it to be the best flat out. especially on PS3 with the Cell Processor.
maybe the video i watched was just a crap example. would someone kindly point me to a proper show-off video?

 

[theonedub]

The quality of the HD video on PSN, or any other online distribution of HD media, flat out sucks Espicially since we have been spoiled with 1080P on our physical BD-ROMs @ ridiculously high bit rates

I'm optimistic that the game will look great

Appreciate your concern for my eyes.

I don't call this a differ of opinion, for on one side's opinion is based is a compress HD video, and on the other side's opinion is based on playing the actual game (prologue).

Also, I didn't say "the best looking console racing game, but "best looking racing game."

No video, of any game for that matter, can do justice to the actual product. Might I suggest you to try out GT5 Prologue. Just remember that the final product will look even better.

Now if you want a proper show-off, just look at them screen shots. That is the ACTUAL graphics of the game. Sure, they have been dithered because taking snap shots of any moving video never looks good.

 

[HookeyStreet]

My main concern is that its only NOW that game devs (mainly inhouse SONY teams) are getting to grips with the CELL. But, GT5 has been in development for years. Will it be running on the crappy nVIDIA GPU or maxing-out the CELL?

i've got prologue coming in a few days - but regardless of what my opinion is based on or yours, they are still opinions.

"the best looking racing game" is not a fact, no matter how "true" it might be. it is an opinion. it is subjective. nothing can objectively be the best.

I'll play Prologue in 2 days tops so then i'll get a better idea.
i was just stating my opinion based on the 1080 video i dl'd.

I have downloaded plenty of HD video that got the beauty across - and i plenty understand compression, there is no reason a downloaded video, if actually 1080p and decent rates, that was a whole 40 seconds long should have looked so stale. that's why i assumed it was close enough to the final product - because it's entirely in the realm of technical possibility and to not have it be an accurate representation is just carelessness.

the only way it can not do justice is because you are not controlling it. you don't get that feeling of immersion and and involvement. but you can pre-render video that looks better than ANY gameplay- and you can download and watch that in HD on your computer - but you think a recording of gameplay video can not possibly be at a high enough quality to accurately represent the graphical quality of said game? you are wrong.

this video may not be accurate, but i am not wrong for assuming it should be. if it were a little youtube web clip it would be different. when it is labeled 1080p HD then i expect it to be good.

In-house Sony teams been getting the grips in dev-ing on the PS3 for quite a while now. Remember, you don't set the date of "getting to grips" based on the release of the game, but for the many years it has been development. That said, you are right about the CELL. Great thing about the CELL that it is really good for math computations, so good that you can off load most of the geometry rendering for the RSX to it, thus leading to games like Uncharted 2, God of War III, and GT5.

i've got prologue coming in a few days - but regardless of what my opinion is based on or yours, they are still opinions.

So...you should judge a book by its cover then, eh? I should judge a movie based on its trailer than the movie itself, right?

yay for prologue arriving soon!
Great looking game and quite fun too

I got Uncharted 2 in the mail today and tried to get a few hours in before I'll have to abandon the PS3 for the weekend since I'm going on vacation. It's a very solid game and you can tell that a lot of time was put into it. The story is interesting and the whole thing feels really natural. My only gripes are that it's super-linear, the gameplay has been getting a little repetitive (I just met the reporters), and that I wasn't able to connect up to the multiplayer. The online problem was on my end, the PS3 gets hardly any signal from the router where it's at right now. I had to bring the thing down and connect it up to my monitor, 3 ft. away from the router so I could update the system and game in a timely manner. Probably should be looking around for a new wireless router pretty soon...

strange why don't digibucc muck with your posts, of your oders and what you are buying,because almost all here posting the same thing as i posted,but he mocked only with my posts,but now all posting the same and he don't muck about it.So he did monitor only me,and had problems with me only.You are strange digibucc.Anyway u are on ignore list so anything you write i wount see anyway so dont even bother to make your excuses to me.

ermmmmmm, what was that in English?

seriously man, i am sorry for giving you a hard time. but there is a big difference when 5 posts in a row from you are

i got this game early, lucky me
I got this game early too, luckier me
i have all this stuff
and this stuff
and i have all this stuff too

and soylent joe mentions he got a new game, and then moves on to talking about a vacation, and then DISCUSSES the game.
if you really can not tell the difference between your posts and that one, i don't really see how i can help you understand it. it's not that complicated of an idea. Joes reasoning was to actually discuss the game in question, whereas you just want to say "yep, got it" ... well, no one cares! I have tons of crap - more than most. and i work hard for it. but that's no reason to shove the noses of those who have less in that fact. this is about sharing common threads, not about showing off. again, not that complicated.

and uh, don't call me out and then say you have me on ignore - first it doesn't work like that, second that is extremely childish.
either make a comment and be a man to back it up or don't do either, but you can't have it both ways.

 

[Jaffakeik]

ermmmmmm, what was that in English?

and it's in english,if you can't read it its your problem mate.
I don't see connection to PS3 in this sentence.So why did u write it?Its 100% off topic
