The all new PS3 thread. (Bright, shiny and plays dvds well)

HGFB · Post by **HGFB** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:56 am 0

Since the other PS3 thread has been a big pile a shit for a long time (Since about page 1) I thought I might have a go at another one and see if anyone wants to post properly.

It's selling badly. There aren't many decent games.

But on the bright side Play.com have Eye of Judgement down for a release this month.

It's probably more of a gimmick than a decent card game but I can easily see myself giving it a try.

Well done mate, I've tried reignite discussion in the other thread a few times and got nothing but agro.

Generally speaking, there's more PSN stuff that I'm looking forward to than retail games at the moment: Pixel Junk Racers, Pain, Echochrome. Guitar Hero III, however, is a must buy, as is Beautiful Katamari and I'm kinda interested in the look of Bladestorm (hell, I'm just desperate for *some* kind of strategy game!)

In other news, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima look stunning on BluRay (both bought for the GFs birthday last month).

I didn't like the demo of Pixel Junk racers much. I can't see myself buying GHIII. I'd probably rather have Rock Band and play the drums

The biggest problem I have is the lack of exclusives. I'll be trying the Bladestorm demo but probably on the 360.

I didn't get on with the new Loco Roco game at all.

Erm sorry to shit on your lovely new thread, but Beautiful Katamari is 360 only (at least no other version has been confirmed, the PS3 dropped off the map about 4 months ago WRT this).

Which honestly is a shame, because Katamari is one of the few places where inline sticks make more sense.

Cheers

Bubba

That's not shitting Bubba

Discussing exclusives or the lack of them is perfectly legitimate. We just came over here to get away from the PS3 fanboy in the other thread.

Cool - and having a "proper thread" for these things is a very good idea

As for upcoming games, I've been keeping an eye on the ever shifting Final Fantasy, and White Knight Story for some JRPG action. Then there's Burnout Paradise coming soon as well! I suspect 2008 may be the year I end up purchasing a PS3, to be honest it'd probably only take one pricecut and a couple of decent exclusive games for me to jump in.

Cheers

Bubba

I had a bash on a PS3 this weekend. My mate brought a HD TV around to play it on. Warhawk is a bit nice.

I'm afraid me and my mate then put Tekken on it to continue our age old Law V Lei drunken grudge match, so thats about the depth of my analysis for now. It's nice.

Can we have some pictures of 32-player Warhawk dogfights please?

Sad as it sounds, I'll probably end up buying a PS3 just for Ratchet & Clank..! It is officially my favourite game of all time and so I can go having it released on a format I can't play it on!

Oh man. Pure 32 player dogfights are the most fun you can have in Warhawk.

You spend a lot of time in an expanding cloud of being dead though.

More evidence that a cut down PS3 with no PS2 compatibility is imminent

We'll know soon

You're in for a loooong wait for the Final Fantasies, they're unlikely to hit Japan till 2009.

Eye of Judgement does interest me massively, but again, still not reason enough to buy the machine.

But a cheaper PS3 without the PS2 backwards compat? Maybe that'll get me to bite. I have a modded PS2, so a lot of my games won't work on a UK PS3 anyway.

Little Big Planet!

Can't believe that I thought that was a crappy "Sony Chat" or "sonySpace" alternative when it's actually a really interesting looking concept for a game.

HGFB · Post by **HGFB** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 10:25 am 0

Weren't you think of Home rather than Little Big Planet?
