If i am not mistaken, there are no extra trophies in the Encore pack :\ At least one guy said it in this interview:

Great news..

Any new trophies for this expansion?
Dylan Cuthbert replied on April 13, 2009 at 7:22 pm

yes, there is a whole set of new trophies for the Encore gardens.

Will Outrun be released on Japan PSN or is it EU only at this point? This is really fucked up if it is the case. We need to start a letter-writing campaign to Sega or something. I swear I read somewhere that the only reason it wasn't coming to the US was that they didn't think people were interested in it or something.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

Ah, nice! :) I wonder why he say that there werent any additional trophies in the game (or at least it sounds to me like he said it) at GDC, which wasnt really that long ago, but maybe they decided to add it anyway after this interview was done? But it it good to hear that there will be new trophies anyway, thanks for the info! :)


don't know, trophy list was out around GDC, sure you didn't just misunderstand? Can't listen to it right now.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
One day, I will be utterly surprised and elated that Bust a Groove 1 is going to finally come out.

Even if it did come out...

There are two problems with the PS3's backwards compatibility:

1) Bad deinterlacing. If you play a game like SFIII: 3rd Strike, the PS3 will not deinterlace it correctly when outputting 480p via Component/HDMI. Try activating Yun's Genei-Jin and look at the mess of lines that show up in his body. Parry animations are effected as well, Fatghost posted screenshots of this issue a while back.

2) Input lag. PS3's backwards compatibility buffers 3 frames of video, which means over 50ms of input lag. This includes games that natively support 480p and applies to all outputs: Composite, S-Video, Component, and HDMI all experience the 3-frame lag on all PS1/PS2 games.

In conclusion, if you want to play PS1/PS2 fighters, play them on a PS2. Get an HDTV that doesn't lag, an upscaling box, or just use an SDTV.
Some people (including people on GAF) have said it makes music timing games like Bust A Groove and Um Jammer Lammy unplayable.

That's very true. That is why I tell people you do NOT want Bust A Groove to play on PS3. I tried playing on an SDTV, HDTV, various settings, and still came across lag. I had to time all attacks differently in Legend of Dragoon. PaRappa The Rapper (demo), DDR Konamix (with controller) Bust A Groove (demo), and Um Jammer Lammy (I tested all) were all unplayable on PS3. DDR PS2 games, lag wasn't anywhere near as bad, but still present.

This version of Outrun was a Sega Europe & America co-project iirc.
 
Pixeljunk Eden Encore = BUY BUY BUY

Magic Ball DLC = BUY BUY BUY

Magic Ball, when it first came out, was like crack for me. What an addictive game, and truly underrated.

I'm aware of ps3 bc lag and still play ps2 2d fighters just fine as I have this godly skill of adopting to a 3 frame lag.

Just remember kids to not use smoothening and any upscaling.
 
Cuboid Pricing

Cuboid DLC has three different options:

Booster Pack, which is 33 new levels, is $2.99

Level Editor is $3.99, but does not include the new levels

Bundle Pack is $4.99 and gives you both the new levels and the level editor

Magic Ball DLC will be $2.99

Seriously, I have many 2D fighters too and I don't get what you're saying. Is this something you have to know how to recognize?

Cuboid + Valkyria Chronicles DLC? I'm gonna splurge on my much hated DLC this month. Although Sega gets a pass this time because it looks like they sincerely produced their DLC after the game was released and doesn't look like stuff that should've been in the game in the first place.

The lag is there regardless of smoothing options.

You'll never notice it unless you're playing against other people, some stuff you won't be able to block on reaction, some combos can't be verified.

Basically, if you didn't know about it and can't tell the difference, it doesn't matter at all.

I guess I fall into that group. I've never been proficient enough in any fighting game to "frame count". The whole concept sounds like it would be beyond my skill level. I'll just remain blissfully ignorant.

Did you remember they they slightly unshitified their movie DRM with firmware 2.70?

That's just for back up right? I'd like something where I can put on my PSP and also have it on my PS3 and then when I replace my 3000 with the 4000 I can transfer that license to it. I don't think I can do that yet, I'm going on a trip soon and I wouldn't mind having those 2 classics to watch, but oh well.

3 frames @ 60fps is 48ms, a human has a response time of between 100-200ms. Can't say I've ever noticed bad deinterlacing but even PowerDVD has had trouble deinterlacing some content but is usually very good.

In my guide I noticed I titled Crash Team Racing as "Crash Bandicoot Tag Team Racing". I do realize this is a completely different game, but you know what I meant. :p

Blasphemy ! How dare you call the greatest karting game of all time by this name ? :mad:
 
Well, I'll be getting Outrun, as well as some VC DLC to support the devs (even though I suck too much to beat stage 5 :lol), and I'll probably look at Encore too.

Provided all that hits Europe on Thursday of course...

Turning off smoothing and scaling made fire pro wrestling returns playable but it is still noticeably slow. Sending 480i to an LCD is less laggy than 720 from the ps3.. so wrong.

How many missions are in the VC DLC?
