PS3 General Discussion

[godzilla_GTR]

i like import tuner challenge's incar, with the aftermarket guages and charm's. speaking of that, i wonder if gt5 will offer any aftermarket guages etc?

i love the look of the carbon fibre around the air vent's.

(i.e. even though that's the best cockpit view yet in a console sim, you complain somehow about it not being good enough).

After racing PC sims i find it hard to play console ones. I either play arcade ones (motorstorm, NFS) on console or full sims on pc. i dont like console games tryin to be sim because they are far from PC counterparts.

Scratch the adapter off your list. It's a piece of ****. I'm only going to keep it for use with Frets on Fire. There is pretty much no functionality during menus, so you have to keep the SIXAXIS connected as controller 2. When you play, there is lag between inputs and only the orange fret works without strumming. In other words, no more hammer ons or pull offs. For the other frets, they appear to do nothing when you press it, but it works when you strum.

My score - 2/10

Pros: Works with Frets on Fire
Cons: Does not work even close to properly with GHII, despite saying "Works with Guitar Hero 1 & 2" on the damn box.


Back to waiting for GHIII.

That's too bad, man. But if it's working fine with Frets On Fire you should rip the GH2 songs to your PC and play them with it, if you haven't done that already.

The PC has no console sim racing counter part. What PC game allows you to collect road and race cars from around the world from many era's and allow you to tune them to your liking? Or offers easy pick up and play gameplay? I'll take GT and Forza over the best pc sim, they are not even the same type of games.

 

[DuckRacer]

Unless you play it with 4 other people in your house, in which case you can easily burn countless hours trash talking and drinking / having fun.

Yeah, good point.

Even that looks better than what was offered in PGR3 and what's NOT offered at all in Forza 2...but then again you ALWAYS find SOMETHING to complain about (i.e. even though that's the best cockpit view yet in a sim, you complain somehow about it not being good enough).

Holy ****, I was complementing PD on improving their incar models so well. I wasn't berating anything, I wasn't complaining about anything.


...But then again, you always find something to twist to make me look like the moron.

By sim i mean, Drivng experience. No console game comes close to GTL, Rfactor, GTR2, LFS.

And that's why I want to upgrade my PC and get a wheel. Maybe next month...


Edit: The 80GB PS3 model has been confirmed in Sony's South Korean website. For now this model will be sold only in South Korea, starting on June 16th and it will cost around US$556.

You can see the interior of one of the benz's they're modeling, looks pretty good.

Socom fans rejoice!!! I think I'm going to have to get a PS3 for sure now, and yes Socom fans that is Crossroads!

Wait...You are arguing in favor of console sims because they are easier to pick up and play...thus, they are easier and less realistic?

I think he's saying, what PC sim offers both easy pick up and play options (i.e. various assists, like those seen in F1: CE) like Console Sim's do?

I can't think of one, as most, even with assists on, are overbearingly hard and more often than not, too difficult to be found as "reaslitic". Then again, I auto-x frequently, and I don't think any Sim is realistic, because all of them make driving "too hard" in comparison to real life, in order to attain a "sim king" crown, often times sacrificing a good game, or good model, for "difficulty". It's stupid, really, and no one should play a sim for it's "sim" aspect, since they all downright suck balls.

[V1P3R]

^Meh... it's ok I guess.

Anway, Am I the only one that thinks Formula One Championship Edition, Resistance and Motorstorm are a joke??

 

[DuckRacer]

Yes.

 

[V1P3R]

Have you played the demos?? If these are next gen games the PS3 really is in trouble.

 

[LaBounti]

Ah, demo's......

Also Motorstorm has a next gen feature that hasn't been done before nor have we seen any future games with deformable terrain. And Motor Storm is just beautiful.

Resistance may not have any innovations it's still a great first attempt at a fps and is a blast to play online with 39 others.

F1CE, I cant speak on it because I've only played the demo like you but i'm not passing judgment on it.

By the way Ebiggs when you take my words out of context it does seem like that. You have to gather all my reasonings and not just one. Console sims are for the auto enthusiasts like myself. PC sims are for the hardcore racers that doesn't care much for tuning and collecting, just the perfect apex.

 

[land sea air]

are you judging all three of these games just by the demos? I have own two of those three and plan to buy F1 CE, I wouldn't call any of them a joke... yes the demos are weak, but those are demos and shouldn't be used to judge the whole game completely

 

[V1P3R]

Seriously... wtf is the point of a demo if you're going to be giving a bad impression... that's about as worthless as a release date.

 

[LaBounti]

Because different people have different opinions. Its not the developers fault you did not enjoy them. The Motor Storm Demo is like 35% the finished product. Try researching a game, you know magazines, web publications, forums and even here. You can call the demos a joke all you want, they don't reflect the finished product and they are old demos.

 

[Solid Lifters]

^Meh... it's ok I guess.

Anway, Am I the only one that thinks Formula One Championship Edition, Resistance and Motorstorm are a joke??

I liked Resistance, though I dislike FPS games. Motorstorm was also great. I had no problems with it. Formula One CE, on the other hand, was either too difficult or too easy to really enjoy. But all looked fantastic; either superior or equal to any XBox360 game.

What, you think XBox360 games suck, too? Or, are a typical MS Fanboy and think they're far better? I'm not really sure who you are, so excuse the question if you're offended unless you're a MS Fanboy. Then, you can go straight to hell.

 

[DuckRacer]

I owned Resistance, and I currently own Motorstorm. Both of those games are great in their own rights. I don't think they're the best games in the world, but they're solid, fun titles.

Dude, play nice. I don't think you'd like being told to go to hell, even if you were trolling whatever.

And for the record, he's a rabid PC fanboy more than anything who hates Microsoft.

 

[V1P3R]

I was just happy with my PS2 until I wanted GoW and that's why I got a 360, it's been great ever since but I wouldn't say I'm a fanboy because I hate M$ and I hated the original xBox. I've pretty much been a Ps fan because of GT but they weren't kidding, there is jack ****ing squat for the PS3.

Anyway, regardless of the demo being old or not they still have control over what we see. If they cared they would've made the demo decent. On F1 the physics is of GT1 quality... Cars ride as if they are on rails and even with the aid off I never did what I thought was going to happen at 200+ mph. On Resistance, you can shoot at something forever and it won't die. There's no GoW like cover behind something system, the guns were uninspiring and well useless. Motorstorm... well that just didn't deliver period. I guess on the 360 side Forza 2 is the only one that fails but the 360 at least in the Demo department isn't as bad as the ps3. Surpisingly GTHD is promising though.

Ehh... X-Pc fanboy now I believe. I haven't done any pc gaming since FEAR pretty much.

Waaaaait a second. Wait wait wait.

The weapons are uninspiring in Resistance? Holy hell, they're one of the best things about it.

Resistance wasn't trying to have a cover system. If you want one, Uncharted is your game.

Motorstorm not delivering? I agree... sorta. The amount of content sucked, but the lighting, mud, crashes, AI, etc, all the gameplay stuff delivers.

And with the Forza 2 demo being the only 360 demo that fails? That couldn't be more wrong.

 

[V1P3R]

Resistance is just like any old gen FPS to me... Next gen is something like RSV or Gow. Those are Nex gen.

Vs the GTHD demo it does anyway, I know F2 will have a lot more once the full game is out though. It better be drastically better than the demo though that's for sure. I'm not talking about damage or customization either, I'm talking, graphics and sound.

 

[godzilla_GTR]

sound!!!!and your saying gthd is better?!? one word....lol.

plus they are adding more antialising in the full, to get rid of those jaggie's on the typre r, sagaris etc.

 

[V1P3R]

Yes... but I'm hoping polyphony is listening and either makes the sounds better in GT5 or fires the sound department. After seeing both demos from GTHD and F2, GTHD is slightly better in gameplay because I WANT to drive in GTHD than I do in F2. F2... it's just horrible brakes, massive understeer (more than GT4) and the modeling of the cars are just horrible. Sound is better than GTHD yes but not by much.

they are adding more antialising in the full, to get rid of those jaggie's on the typre r, sagaris etc.

That's nice and all but that doesn't mean the colored shapes for headlights and taillights will look anything like what they should. They still won't have ANYTHING on GTHD in terms of modelling of the cars either.

 

[godzilla_GTR]

did you turn off assists? i Can't see how you can complain about understeer.

i agree gthd look's ALOT better in every area, but forza isn't to bad if you turn down the colour/contrast, plus the body mod's engine part's etc make up for it abit.

and before i get accused of it, I am NOT a M$ fanboy, i hate microsoft and there shotty quality and prices/monopoly(no logitech g25, dfp support etc). I have every GT so far but gthd(bought 32' 1080p hdtv, got my 360 heavily modded with light's, flashed etc and am about to buy a wireless wheel for it...all this was $100 cheaper then a ps3 lol), but i am getting a bit sick of the graphic's/quantity first formula they are going for i am looking forward to what ky and the crew are going to do with the interior's(in term's of recaro seat's defi guages and other after-market peices ) and the engine swap's.

anyway enough of the 360 V.S PS3, forza V.S GT talk, back to the "PS3 general discussion".

At one point in time, I would have agreed with ya'. I didn't much like how the enemies wouldn't go down after twenty shots. There's a great reason why they made it that way.

They didn't want you to hide, cover and snipe every bad guy down. If they wanted that, they would given you the sniper rifle from the start and give you plenty of ammo for it. But, they didn't because they had created some really cool and interesting weapons. Weapons you haven't discovered completely yet, by the way you response describe them. Actually, it's a lot of fun using a different tactic than shoot from afar and out of complete sight of an alien. It takes some getting used to, but I got over it.

If I were you, I'd try Resistance all over again and use all the different weapons. All of the demo weapons are great and very useful at certain points of the demo.
