Anticipation for Killzone 2 rising!

Hahaha, but seriously. I really liked the first game (haters be damned) and look forward to the next-gen sequel - especially now that I can expect more from it than Resistance. :)

Can't blame Guerilla for being a bit grumpy I guess... any release date in sight yet?
Oh well... Keep up the great work guys, I'm sure you'll do us all proud!

Dissing Resistance like that, you Guerilla guys better have something good cooking to back that up.
Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk. ;)

Resistance's MP feature set alone is amazing, you guys better be taking notes. :D
 
God damnit I can't decide. I'm playing God of War import and MotorStorm almost at the same time. This is gaming heaven. Plus I hadn't time to check GAF which in my book is perfect because from what I hear there were some troll-fests from the usual pathetic fanboys.

Anyway some quick sloppy impressions:

God of War II: OMG OMG OMG THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
MotorStorm: IT'S ****ING AMAZING but you made it too hard you son of bitches which I love and hate at the same time. And btw I keep
ab
using turbo because -well- it's fun and I keep crashing like an idiot. As for multi I haven't setup my PS3 for online yet.
 
Maybe its because I havnt touched a xbox360, outside 5 min with pdz. But I thougth the first three levels of resitance was very good, and since everyone seems too think that the game improves alot towards the end, I think I am up for a threat :)

How many of you were standing still to recover health for a veeery long time on the first level? I sure was, standing there like a fool, while the rest of my company was getting shoot down :lol

And motorstorm is the sh*t. My god the graphics are good, so cool to actually see the other drivers hundreds and hundreds of metres ahead of you. The drawdistance is the best part of the new generation so far :)

I had the same problem. 'Why am I not regenerating?'
I agree, Motorstorm - demo :'( - is incredible. The best part is just seeing and being in the middle of ALL those vehicles jumping like gazelles on the track.

how is that poor PS3 supposed to breathe? you're blocking all the holes on the side :)
Mostly through the other holes in the case. If it has problems there I'll move it, but it's been on for about 15 hours today non-stop and it has no problems.

well that's obvious... i was referring to the fact that most of the vents are on that side

the console may have no problems but if some vents are blocked the fan may have to spin faster

Umm no,you're covering the most critical holes of the unit,most of the heat comes out from the top of the console.
IMO you're risking a lot both for the console and for security reasons, find an other place now :D :D
 
GripShift is really cool. Probably one of the coolest PS3 games for me (and incidentally also one of the cheapest).
I need to try and play some Resistance multiplayer, did some watching with the spectator mode and it sure looked fun, now if only I could come to terms with the controls.

Hmm, you could be right. I'll have to think about that. :/

Hey, I'm just speaking for myself here, it's not a company line :P As far as console FPS games are concerned, I really enjoyed Call of Duty 2 and how well it controlled (on the X360). I heard that CoD3 is disappointing, although I'm not sure if people are just tired of same ole, same ole, or if it really is a step down from CoD2. Anyone care to elaborate? I might have to pick it up for either X360 or PS3.

It really, really is. Search for some official threads and save your money.

Fair enough, but to be even more fair I think you should at least rent Resistance. The Demo is nothing to gauge the whole game by unless you just don't like FPS's or something. IIRC it's just the first 10 minutes of the game, and many people agree the game gets better as you go further into it.

PS3 does look pretty nice next to my TV.. Damn its huge though.. and already full of fingerprints. :/

Had it running for 15-16 hours yesterday, so it's a little tired. :D

Wow what's the model of your TV?

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, of course. :)
All you have to do is make it look better than this and play better than this...
Shouldn't be too much of a problem right? Go Guerilla, go!

If you're gonna use the browser you need a keyboard. Dialing in URL's with the controller is an atrociously disgusting process which will only lead to anger.

In other news the PS3 won't recognize my MP3 player. It says "USB connected" but I can't find the damn thing anywhere in the XMB. Might be because its one of those fancy MTP thingies.

But anyhow, can you actually transfer files from a USB storage device to the PS3? Because ripping CD's is a pain in the ass.

Yes

I use a 512mb flash drive for small stuff and my ipod w/usb hard drive mode enabled for big files.

Sony Bravia 32" V2000. :)
They have a new version of that tv now, V2500 which has 2x HDMI slots.

Hmm, sexy TV. So tempting to get 1, but I should save some more money like I planned to. I should...
 
i'm in my final year at uni, so i'll be getting my ps3 around end of may, but looking at these pics my self control is slowing ebbing away. :lol
oh well just a few more months
 
damnit!!

I just downloaded Tekken and I get error code of 80029564, saying that I cant install.

Any ideas how I can fix this, or do I just have to phone sony (grrr)?
 
Right, just bought a HDMI enabled 32" LCD. Lovely.

Except that now my wi-fi connection is screwed and I can't sign in to the PSN. In fact, it won't even see my router.

Any ideas?

Not seeing the Router sounds like a bad problem. Do you see any other WLAN devices, I have about 4-5 in the neighborhood.

Intermittently.

I think my wi-fi bit is broke on the PS3...

:lol I think you clicked on the wrong thread mate.
That is a a genuine, untouched photo of a real PS3!

Welcome to "next generation video game graphics". This is not always the same as throwing hundreds of bump-mapped scanned photos at your PC's graphics card.
Or perhaps you're comparing the above screen shot with your Resistance downloadable pack that isn't due out till May? The way Insomniac's engine manages to get this clean, sexy look is by secretly installing a tiny Re-Rerendering Art Monkey into your PS3 - if you owned one - that manually touches up each rendered image, frame by frame. This little Art Monkey is so fast it can do this consistenly 30 times a second. In fact it's so talented it can keep this up on a multiplayer game even when changes to the game data are happening real time, over 'the Internet.' Insomniac are busy training new Art Monkeys for Tools of Destruction that have already acheived a rate of around 45 Touched Up frames per second, aiming to reach 60 times a second for the finished game! Amazing.

Cheers for the props!

As a fun aside, I swapped over my faulty PS3 this afternoon for a new one, and it's still screwed over wi-fi. I can only assume it's the new TV. Ace. So I'm now wired...

I've bought Gripshift - if anyone wants to swap for Lemmings (although I don't know how) send me a message over PSN.

Fun, this.

-----------------------------

I've got a question. I know this has been asked and answered many times, but I'm not sure where to look at to find the answer:
I've got an external HD, but the PS3 doesn't see it when i connect it through USB. Is it because I have it formatted as NTFS? Or do I need to do something specific to have the PS3 see it?
 
I'll add my info if anyone is interested:

Linux doesn't know NTFS, thus your PS3 won't recognize it. You have to format it as FAT32.

If you can play all the way through the single player and get in some multiplayer(30-50 matches), come back and say the same thing, my interest in Killzone PS3 will go from "Wait and see..." to "BEST FPS OF ALL TIME!!!" :)
