RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Games and Tech Got my PS3 today

I wanna fuck the Match.com chick!! Oh and uh...congrats on the PS3 there CC.

So is Nowhereman the only person on the boards with a PS3 now? Because as much as I've bitched about it I think Id just about commit murder and/or rape to get my hands on Virtua Fighter 5.

I think Pariah was saying he just got his as well!

Yep. It has the Emotion Chipset, so all my PS2 games have worked. However, I'm worried that, when the Emulation software comes around, the EC won't allow it to upscale my games. Although, I'm pretty sure Sony hasn't forgotten about the early adopters.

You dont have to download that particular software fix from what I understand.

Well, I have actually finished two games on the PS3 already, but what makes this such an achievment for me is that they are both FPS games.

Having never been a particulary big fan of the genre, I was only generally interested in games like the James Bond games on the PS2 as they were a bit more adventure based than just run of the mill FPS's.

Last year I picked up Black and was totally hooked, and with the advent of the PS3, I became hooked first one Resistance:Fall of man, and then Call of duty 3 when I finished Fall of man!

I think the reason these games hooked me is because of the real life locations, and the graphical and audio advances we have these days.

Its much more engrossing if you feel like you are almost there, than being in a futuristic world where there is very little you can relate to!
And when it all looks so real, it just blows your mind.
Add to that the speed everything happens at, and its a true experience playing these games rather than just plain old gaming!

Resistance came dangerously close to pissing me off at the end. I was afraid they were gonna be a bunch of bastards and not tell us what happened. Luckily, I waited till the end of the credits, so I wasn't so mad.

The only thing I'm confused about is the Cloven; where the fuck are they?

I cant remember which ones the Cloven are, all I know is I am now replaying it on the hardest level and when you play the second time, new weapons become available!

Thinking more about it, I do remember mentions of The Cloven, but was never 100% sure what they were.
I know they were human, but I sorta guessed that maybe they were humans that were infected, but didnt actually change, kinda like Hale himself, but more vulnerable.

Spoilers!

Got my router this morning, so PS3 is now online!
There was an upgrade available for download already, so will have to see if this effects which PS2 games work or not!

Also downloaded the free Gran Turismo HD concept game thats available!

Ok, so I tested all my PS2 games, and although obviously I havent played far into any of them, it's nowhere near as bad as some people have been saying!

51 work, and 17 dont.

I did notice a few glitches on some of them, mainly graphical, but to be honest, some of them I can honestly say I will never play again as I can really see the graphical limitations the PS2 was up against.

Still, nice to know I can still give them a go if I get nostalgic!

It is weird though with some of the games that do and dont work.
For instance Gran Turismo 3 & GT 4 prologue work, but GT 4 doesnt!

All of the James Bond games work, except Everything or nothing.

I also had 3 games that I bought used that didnt work cause they were badly scratched, and two of them actually work now!

Also, I tested the online capability of a Smackdown vs Raw 2007, and it works fine!

I heard most of the racing games were pushed to the back of he bus in the BC department--Which is fine for me since I don't like racing games. But Midnight Club 3 (the only racer I own) works fine.

From the intel reports, it sounds like they were the Russians who were infected, but they were able to bite through their wrists as a way of avoiding full conversion.

No.
I heard it wasnt worth buying as it was too short or something!

I totally disagree. Certainly, past Hitman games have had more missions. But, it's the quality and detail of the missions in Blood Money that make it so fucking superb. Please, give it a shot. I think you'll love the improvements they've made on it...

Its a PS2 game, so no!

So, you've completely given up the PS2 and its games?

Pretty much!
I tried playing a few after I played some PS3 games and they just looked horrible!
Even sold my PS2 and gave away half of my games!

...Jeeze...

Anywho, got around to playing Call of Duty 3...And I find it to be utter trash. I can't aim for shit and the reticle is too damn wide. And its attempt to employ the Sixaxis, while admirable, was impossible to work with. I should've waited for Brothers in Arms before giving next gen WWII games a shot.

On that note: Oblivion is proving to be pretty fun. I wasn't very impressed with it the first couple hours in, but now it's kinda grown on me.


Blood Money's graphics were terrible--And the mechanics were simplistic. Aside from the story, everything about that game needed extra polishing. Contracts, its predecessor, was a superior game.

I totally disagree with you on COD3.
At first I found it awkward to control, but once I finished R:FOM and was able to devote some time to it, I actually found it to be the better game.

Online its great fun, but for some reason its the one game that is almost impossible to get a decent connection for!

The sixaxxis part of it is great.

Unlike the Wii, the motion part of it isnt the main focus of the gaming, just a little bit here & there, and for me that works.
I dont like driving with the sixaxxis in games like F1 and Motorstorm as that is bloody horrible.

You also play with old men, but thats nothing to brag about!

you're not that old, honey. and yeah. not so much to brag about...

I said "play with" not "get beaten like a bitch by".

You mistake me for Llance or Beardguy methinks!

S'ok bro. I won't hold it against you. I know I'm attractive but all this flirting is simply unbecoming.

I never asked you to "hold it against me".
Thats just another one of your sick fantasies!

Back on track.
This is the intro video fo Tekken 5:Dark resurrection

Not normally interested in beat em ups, but they were doing a special download offer with it only being £6.99, so I thought I'd give it a blast!

Wait, is that for the PS3 or the PSP?

think it might be some nonsense where you play PSP on your PS3? lol. no joke.

I think they have taken the PSP game and tarted up the graphics somewhat!
I will say that those YouTube videos do the graphics no justice, but even so, its still far from what a PS3 game should be!
MK:Armageddon on the PS2 was better than this!

Yeah, I think I'll just wait for Tekken 6...

As I say £6.99 for that download against £40 for a new game...........not much of a financial loss!

You will have a long wait if they only release it on the PS3!

Tekken 6 comes out for the PS3 at the end of the year (supposedly). I figure by then, coupled with the fact that GTA-IV will be out, I'll have my PS3. Until then, though, I agree your cheaper download is the way to go.

So, who are you playing with (Tekken-wise)? I prefer Bryan Fury and Law...
