Is there a tutorial anywhere for how to use Ad Hoc party and MGSW? I just have no clue how to get it to work. I have the wired connection, I just need to know to know how the software works.

If you have a wired connection, you just run the software and use it as a lobby system. You pick a world, select a lobby, go in, create a 4 player room, and hop in. Anyone on your friend list can see which room you are in and join instantly. Once everyone is in the room, just use the PSP as if someone was right next to you. The PS3 will automatically tunnel the adhoc wireless connection.

Is there already an Advoc party/Peace Walker thread?

I need peeps!

EDIT: How is voice chat handled on Go/Ad Hoc Party?

What about if you don't have people on your friend list with a PSP. How can you find and get in and/or host random games?

Through your PS3. Connect headset to PS3 and you chat through AHP

The PS3 handles the voice chat, so the headset has to be connected to that system.

very good, I use my headset all the time playing monster hunter

edit: beated badly :lol

 

[ViolentP]

Thanks all. Looking forward to taking this online.

 

[Scythesurge]

I'll be interested in playing online once I get my copy of the game from Amazon!

 

[GotchaForce]

Do I need to be connected wired to do ad-hoc party or can my PS3 stay on it's wireless internet connection?

Also, does playing mp get me stuff for sp and vice-versa?

You need to connect your PS3 with your router/modem using a wire, then you connect your PSP with your PS3 via wireless.

 

[Salaadin]

Can you have multiple Bluetooth headset hooked to one ps3 also for when you have 2 Psps using one ps3s ad hoc party

I dont believe so, I read somewhere some guys couldnt do it in warhawk, so I guess is not possible for the PS3, unless some firmware update corrected that...

EDIT: I just realized, if you have a official PS3 headset, you can use the headset like a desktop microphone, you just need to wire it and put it on the dock, and it should allow you and your friend to talk. I guess its better than nothing.

You can activate a game search on your PSP, and then use Search on Adhoc Party. It will detect the game's broadcast code and match it to any room(s) playing the same game. That's how I played a bunch of PW matches with Japanese players in PW.

 

[Ephemeris]

Duckroll and I have just confirmed that ad-hoc support is cross-regional for versions of the game.

Very Nice!

Cool thanks, I'll try that at lunch in a little while.

PS Blog update- Peace Walker

Edit: NVM, it's old. Sony is dumb. I can't read dates.

PS Blog update- Peace Walker

Actually, they've been linking to this story several times; it's an older entry, so they also have posts that are older than 30 days to not be able to comment on them.

Would it kill them to create a new post with some kind of new information?!

 

[VegaShinra]

NA version unboxed:

[TheSeks]

I still don't like the US boxart. I prefer the Japanese Yellow/Black one 20x more.

 

[thefil]

I would definitely like to get in on the Adhoc Party action.

 

[Chip N Chance]

When are the reviews going up for this? Im stoked.

 

[SoulPlaya]

What's the D3 time machine? Where can I get it?

Okay, so I'm in an Adhoc Party Room how do I find out what level everyone is playing?

 

[sotodefonk]

you cant check it like that, adhoc party is like a lobby if you want to know something, you need to ask the players.

What... do you mean?

 

[Boney]

This is going to sound really really really dumb, but how does ad-hoc party work? I mean, is it wireless multiplayer like the DS?

 

[Mutagenic]

You need to connect your PS3 with your router/modem using a wire, then you connect your PSP with your PS3 via wireless.

You have to hardwire your PS3 internet connection to play via ad-hoc, rather than use an existing wireless connection? I'm not moving all my stuff around for this. Count me out, blah.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

N/m got it working

Don't all the other PSP Metal Gear games have inner cover art? Sucks they would skip this one.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Had a lot of fun playing...ironically everyone else from surprised I had the UMD version, they were all playing pirated copies :lol

 

[itsnervedamage]

Damn it, UMD has $10 GC for pre-ordering on Amazon, but I want the PSN download.

When the fuck is Sony gonna get of their asses and implement Steam-like pre-order and discounts for PSN downloads?

Come on goddamn it.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Just completed the game (review code I had sitting here for a while) after an almost non-stop 20circa hrs session.

It's that good. Sits right there alongside MGS3. Bosses are friggin incredible as well as everything else basically. I'm speechless.

Different strokes I guess. Personally I really like the US boxart.

Nice impressions. Did you play through the entire game solo? I remember some previews saying some bosses were incredibly difficult if you didn't do them co-op. Did you experience that or was the challenge reasonable?

Wow, that's high praise.

Hopefully I can get used to the controls. They felt pretty limited in the demo. Having just finished Splinter Cell Conviction, Peace Walker was feeling pretty damn limited and stiff in comparison. I simply never felt comfortable dealing with enemies in the demo.

I value your opinion more than a lot of websites, so that's good to hear!

The wait for this game to hit Europe just keep getting harder.

With regards to the bosses being hard, I don't think any took me more than three tries. Probably a case of video game reviewers being a bit bad at games.
