Official US/JP PLAYSTATION 3 Launch Thread

okay, motorstorm is now an essential.

the first person view in the jeep is just the best racing experience i've had in years. So much fun - i hope the final version has a similar view for the bike :)

no online or not, this looks like the game for this short PS3 year.

Agreed. And also right now, demo or not, Motorstorm is the best game available on the PS3. I am definitely picking this up in a few weeks, and may be buying it again if the online is done well in the U.S. release. Too much fun! :D

DC, don't forget about Armored Core 4 either...assuming it has online play, it might surpass Chromehounds for you!
 
I've just preordered Motorstorm from ncsx..took a while to figure out where they were hiding their preorderable games! This shall be mine for Christmas :D

depends on things like voice chat - and whether the CH community is going to give AC4 a go.
If that's the case, i can wait for the X360 version no worries.

one day left. man this is going to be nuts. This thread will implode.

LOL. What do you mean "will explode"? It's already at 44 pages, about 3X the size of the Wii thread. It's going to hit 100 pages easily. Suck it down Morrowind? ;)

Hmmm... I played the demo at Target and... I think we must've been playing different games or something. Well, the Pendulum style D&B soundtrack was *AWESOME* and vastly preferable than the redneck rock in Excite Truck... but the graphics looked very unpolished (I think I saw pixellation on some of the textures... maybe I just have been spoiled by Gears...), and damn does the PS3 controller feel like a cheap 3rd party one (Sony still hasn't improved their analog stick, I see).
 
Motorstorm looks effin' awesome... I played the demo the other day at Best Buy and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that would stop and stare at it... I'd imagine in the final version you can remap the buttons (gas/brake to triggers)...

Hopefully there's a good online component to it... like full voice support... oh, which reminds me...

All you bastages with PS3's, some with crazy home theater rigs, and you DON'T have a Blue Tooth Headset?! COME ON!!! Trying to decide if I'm going to buy one today... get cracking...


I don't trust speculations on it, I want confirmation from someone here... pretty pretty please with sugar on top??? :/
 
How big are the demos ?

I live in a country where internet is blazingly fast (10 megabit for basic service), yet it's pretty restricted as to how much you can do with it. There's a limit of 10GB allowed to download per month.
It helps to reduce piracy, but honest users who want to download demos and HD-trailers are getting shafted.

So:

1) how big are the demos ?

2) can you download them with a PC and put the file on a memory card or USB HDD ?

3) can you burn updates or demos on cd or dvd ?

Thanks.

Whats the difference between 20GB and 60GB in terms of pack ins or included extras? Ricky Bobby and what else?

Nothing really.
The first 500 000 get a Ricky Bobby BD. Doesn't matter if you buy a 20 or 60 gig.

From what tetsuoxb was telling me, he connected HDMI for video, and optical for audio.

Right, but I don't have 5.1, and I can't get it either because the house I live in is a) my parents' house and b) terraced with thin walls, so I'm not allowed to have loud speakers and woofers and stuff like that. So I'd need a way to use the regular stereo audio.

i have a motorola BT headset and just got my PS3. I'll see if I can try it out later tonight. Is it something that'll only work in Resistance or other online game?

BTW, it is *100%* safe to plug into 240V directly, right? can't help but be nervous.

Also, how do you find the MAC address of the PS3? I need that to allow access to my network which has MAC filtering. Couldn't see it on the unit anywhere.

If you want to be 100% sure you will have to disassemble your PS3 and inspect the power supply chassis manually. However, so far it appears that all PS3 powersupplies are multivoltage (i.e. everyone who's tried it has had no problems).

it's under Settings > System Settings > System Information.

Target demo kiosks are terribly calibrated. The screen is blowing out so much detail. Trying to judge any games visuals fairly on that setup is not going to end well.
 
Mother****er. I got my PS3 and it won't read any discs. Resistance just keeps trying to load but never does. It won't even ready any DVD's or Blu Ray movies. :'(

Did you import? or can you send it straight back?

Looks like MotorStorm got a subtitle. 'SURVIVE THE OFF-ROAD'

Great pics that you were able to find! A couple of things: 1) Blast factor on sale for $7.99, save $2 dollars! :P Pretty sneaky by Sony there. 2) 3rd parties are going to have content up on day 1 too, I hope? 3) I hope they have some Kobe24 and Kaz Hirai avatars!

Getting excited for launch, should be studying for a midterm though. :/
 
Just saw the new PS3 commercial. It's the same white room that all the other commercials take place in but the black puddles start to come out fo the walls and spread up them which forms into videos of the games. It includes Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Lair, RR7 ect. Has the same intro sound as the PS2 commercials but the PS3 outro logo sound is different.
 
wow. that was by far and wide one of the most miserable nights in my life.

35 degrees in a tent on the hard ground with just a blanket and hood from my sweatshirt. not cool.

i had gotten "asleep" by 2am but then some jackasses came by and circled around the parking lot to work up courage to blast an airhorn right by us. it woke everyone up and they sped off. cool and hilarious(/sarcasm), but at least it wasn't eggs or paintballs.

i got to sleep about an hour from 4-5, but couldn't hold the sleep and just got out and sat in a chair and tried to sleep there. being more cold in the chair than in the tent i went back in the tent and slept from about 6-8. my feet were freezing when i woke up.

now i am sitting here in a chair waiting for the store to open so i can go in for the warmth.

about 4 or 5 people came by overnight that were turned away, and within the last 30 minutes we have turned 5 away and about 10-15 cars have drove by, looked, and drove off.

23 hours to go.

That sounds like torture. Good luck...

:lol they should youtube it. :D
 
WTF is going on here. The JPN PS3 owners are saying Motorstorm is like the next big AAA title just by playing the demo, but on the other thread people are underwhelmed with the demos at stores.

Different demos or something?

Man I could handle doing 12 hours overnight at Target last year for the 360. I probably would have done the same for the PS3 because it's fun to camp out overnight, meet new people, and shoot the shit. But these multiple day affairs I couldn't handle. /salute to you sir

He is payiing for potential! :P

Thank God I live in Socal, and my preorder awaits me at Toyrus! Keep us updated, as long as your laptop/mobile phone permits. Good luck out there, fellow SDF!
