Cocker Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Cheers for that mate, looks a bit complicated but have to say judging by that it is going to be awesome. I remember the first Metal Gear playstation (cant remember to be honest if it was Playstation 1 or 2) but when I saw the clips I thought - I cant be bothered with all that. Then one day I was in the shop looking for a game to pick up and it was down to £10. As it turned out it was one of the best games i could have picked up for £10 and I hope this one will be excellent too (although it wont be £10 ) I really hope Sony keep this one at home a mist all the rumors that the 360 are getting their mitts on it.

M-K Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I really hope Sony keep this one at home a mist all the rumors that the 360 are getting their mitts on it. Why?
Cocker Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Why? Because Microsoft have been doing well to keep hold of some good games and exclusive things and it would be nice for PS3 to get some of their own
M-K Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 That's something I never understand about gamers. Does it really spoil anyone's enjoyment to know that some people might be playing the same game with a different-coloured controller? Anyway, the Metal Gear Solid games usually come out on more than one console because they're so expensive to make, Konami needs to sell them to the widest possible audience. Exclusivity is insane when you're talking about something that probably costs upwards of $50m to produce. It would be deliberately excluding half their potential market.
Cocker Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 That's something I never understand about gamers. Does it really spoil anyone's enjoyment to know that some people might be playing the same game with a different-coloured controller? Well, I dont mind games being on both machines but at the moment it seems the 360 are getting all of the exlusives and game rights (which I already said) and us with our PS3's dont have much. I really just want more people to buy the PS3 so they they make more games for it. I still stand by my statement that this is the best console out there - we just need the games for it now - like metal gear
M-K Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 What we all really need is just one major console format. That way nobody would have to see a great game that they can't play unless they spend a few hundred on another box to go under the TV, and games developers wouldn't have to gamble on which format to write for. I bet if Konami had known how long it was going to take for PS3 to build momentum, they would have made MGS4 multi-format from the beginning. Their accountants must be bricking it right now. They wouldn't put up this problem in the movie industry. Imagine if Spider-Man DVDs only played on Sony TVs...
LeChuck Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 They wouldn't put up this problem in the movie industry. Imagine if Spider-Man DVDs only played on Sony TVs... What about Blue-ray and HD DVD...
M-K Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 What about Blue-ray and HD DVD... When there are rival formats like that, studios can easily back both until a clear winner emerges. The cost involved in pressing the same content to two different video disc formats is nothing like the cost of making a game written for one console work smoothly on a different one. It can take months of labour.
Cocker Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Downloaded the Heavenly Sword demo yesterday. Its very pretty and I expected God of War for the PS3 but sadley even though it seems to go through all of the same motions it just felt like something was missing - I cant put my finger on what though. Anyone picked it up? What do you reckon?
Cocker Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Ghost Recon Demo now in the store for download (Holds breath and waits for the 360 boys to rip my head off) EDIT: Downloaded this and dont know what all the hype was about. Much prefer Rainbow 6 (which I am loving playing online)
Guest Kamy100 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 After a couple of good weeks of PSN updates with demos each week, it was back to the usual claptrap yesterday, this sums up the situation at the moment:
Cocker Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 After a couple of good weeks of PSN updates with demos each week, it was back to the usual claptrap yesterday, this sums up the situation at the moment: Yeah I saw this. Made me angry at first but its very true - at the moment
Guest Kamy100 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Yup very true at the moment, but in the next 2/3 months lots of good stuff coming out.
Cocker Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Yup very true at the moment, but in the next 2/3 months lots of good stuff coming out. Yeah I know. Seems like I have been saying 2/3 months forever.
Guest Kamy100 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 LOL that is what I feel like, but this time I can say there are some great games coming: Ghost Recon 2 - 24/08/2007 Heavenly Sword - 14/09/2007 Warhawk - 14/09/2007 Colin Macrae Dirt - 14/09/2007 PES2008 - 26/10/2007 Call Of Duty 4 - 09/11/2004 Assassins Creed - 30/11/2007 Haze - 30/11/2007 Lair - 30/11/2007 Uncharted: Drake Fortune - 30/11/2007
Biddy Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 To be fair, I've fealt exactly the same for the past few months with the 360. At least we got Track and Field on Xbox live the other day. Kept me entertained for 10 minutes until it wanted me to pay £4.50 for it.

I havent been following the 360 stuff for a while so I was shocked that you thought you were in the same boat as us PS3 owners. Just hopped over to play for a look and your right. Bioshock seems like the only decent effort to be coming out. Next GEN eh
Shevchenko Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Hey its the summer, nothing great comes out at this time of year. We're getting closer to holiday season now so things are going to get insane soon enough. You'll be complaining that all the great titles are coming out at the same time, your wallet won't be able to take it! Just a quick PS3 question...is it zone free? Can you play US or Japanese imports on it?
Biddy Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Just a quick PS3 question...is it zone free? Can you play US or Japanese imports on it? Yes. But DVD's and BluRays aren't.
Cocker Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Just downloaded and played the DIRT demo from the US store. Although not my type of game I can see why allot of people would love this. Well worth a look
Cocker Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Downloaded the folklaw demo - dont waste your time for those that havent already waited for it to come. Very poor. Japs will love it though probably
Guest Kamy100 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks Cocker was thinking of downloading it tonight so you saved me a couple of hours!!
Cocker Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks Cocker was thinking of downloading it tonight so you saved me a couple of hours!! To be fair, its not to say someone else wont like it so download away and give a 2nd opinion in case I am wrong (it has been known) Too much reading for my liking. Do it soon though cos I heard it will be removed by the end of the month
Wolverine Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Anyone else looking forward to the launch of PS3's next major step towards becoming the complete entertainment hub - Play TV? http://www.absolutegadget.com/news/televis...070823-724.html
