Anyone else get that weird vibe that Doom is like OUR Snarf?

*Dr. Doom* · 09-22-2007, 03:38 PM

Just pretend I'm not here. That makes it easier for everyone.

Is Team Ico developing a sequel to one of their awesome games?!
I love Ueda. LOVE!

Peanut · 10-04-2007, 12:33 PM

This proves that not only is there a God, but he listens to my prayers. The scope of those games on f*cking last-gen hardware is STILL astounding, I can't wait to see what that team does with so much more power. I was hyped just knowing they were working on something, but a SEQUEL to what are easily two of the very best games on the PS2? Anticipation = HIGH!

Barky, I think you and I me be the only ones into this stuff, but it's also clear we're the smartest ones in here, so it's not so surprising.

**Barkworm** · 10-04-2007, 12:56 PM

Seriously, those games were too intellectual for most dumb f*ckers. I wonder what a sequel to Ico or SotC would be about though.

Peanut · 10-04-2007, 01:00 PM

I have no idea, as neither really left a ton open. Especially SotC, I don't know how that would work at all.

**Barkworm** · 10-04-2007, 01:25 PM

Yeah, if they actually make a sequel it should be ICO 2.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-04-2007, 05:12 PM

There are some strong rumors that starting Oct. 10th, in Europe, the 60GB PS3 is getting a €100 price drop, and will eventually be phased out in favor of a €399 40GB model (Which apparently won't have HD-output, making it uninteresting). A console plus two games and two controllers for €500 doesn't seem like that bad of a deal, honestly. I'm not saying I'll run out and buy a PS3 now, but things just got a bit more appealing.

*E* I've never actually played ICO (Though I really want to), but is it really a game that needs a sequel?

*Cure* · 10-05-2007, 12:25 PM

Price drop confirmed.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-07-2007, 04:04 PM

Alright, one of the main reasons I'm not bothering to get my 360 fixed is that I'm saving for a PS3. I want a 60Gb model before the Backwards Compatibility gets shafted.

Question to 60GB PS3 Owners:
This is the model that has the PS2 chip set included. How good is the PS2 support? Is upscaling enabled? How does it look? Any games not work?

Question to 80GB PS3 Owners:
This is supposedly the model that doesn't include the PS2 chip set, and relies on software emulation. Anybody have any problems with it? If so, what problems have you experienced?

Rest assured I won't be going anywhere near the rumored piece of sh*t 40GB model that doesn't have any PS2 BC at all.

Peanut · 10-07-2007, 08:41 PM

I'd still LOVE to know why you want a PS3 at all.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-07-2007, 09:33 PM

Wipeout HD
Wipeout (insert title here for next year)
Heavenly Sword
MGS4 (I played the first one a while back and fell in love)
God of War 3 (whenever it shows up)
Soul Calibur IV (can't play it on a 360's d-pad)
Street Fighter II HD and its sequels (again, the 360's sh*tty d-pad)
Motorstorm
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
GT5: Prolouge
The inevitable Final Fantasy VII remake

Peanut · 10-07-2007, 10:10 PM

That list makes me ROFL so hard.

Yeah, I'm a racing whore. Its just the whole genre went to hell and never recovered since a short time after I joined these forums.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 10-14-2007, 12:44 AM

I decided to buy Heavenly Sword today. Best realistic faces I have ever seen in a video game. I know that sounds strange, but it's ture, and it's awesome looking.

The game seems simple so far, but I really like it. This is the best sword fighting game I have ever played, I also love it that all attacks are blocked when you are not attacking.

I reccomend this game to everyone who has a PS3.

*Brodie* · 10-14-2007, 05:56 PM

And who has 4 hours to kill?

Peanut · 10-14-2007, 06:37 PM

Yeah, I was gonna say. You better also be recommending it to people who are OK with paying full-price for a 4 hour game.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-14-2007, 07:48 PM

Yeah, you know--people such as myself.

Peanut · 10-14-2007, 10:52 PM

You mean the casual gamer who attempts to be the embodiment of the hardcore audience, when in reality their tastes are so in-line with the casual market these days that all their credibility is lost; and even the constant jabbering about poor Japanese puzzles games from the mid-to-late nineties can't cover up the fact that they play less (both in quantity and genre breadth) games than your average drunken frat-boy?

Yeah, you're right.
