New dashboards typically mean new wave, right?
So you gotta wait for a new iXtreme firmware, I believe. |
No, thats new discs. It's the same wave and it boots on the existing non-beta dash. There's not even checks on the wave on the LT firmwares so it should boot any.
Also, it's flagging the console as banned from Live in the NAND without ever connecting to Live as well... |
For those with PS3s, Sony officially starting the beta version of Playstation Rewards program. The program itself will be available to everyone else starting April 2011.
To be included, you either need to be a Playstation Plus or Game Advisory Panel member. Quote:

Pinball FX 2 is cool. And If you have 1, you can get the upgrades into 2 for free.

There's 2 versions of Pinball FX 2. A free one and a $10 one.

Preview of Donkey Kong Country Returns confirms the game's difficulty won't take a hit and will be very similar and at times harder than the original SNES series of games. While people complained Kirby's Epic Yarn was too easy, DKC Returns won't follow the same route in terms of no dying.
Also confirmed is Retro Studios recreated the entire "Rare" experience for the game and didn't put their own style or "Metroid Prime" style into the game. The game is still on schedule for a November 21 release date at a $50 price. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets...0/500x_dk1.jpg http://kotaku.com/5675560/50-deaths-...in-one-sitting |

Fable 3, Rock band 3 or Deadly Premonition?
|
Fable III since you already have Kingmaker etc.
|
Probably say Deadly Premonition, until you can get pro instruments unless you want a keyboard, then RB3 takes priority.
Fable would be 3rd, but DP is so cheap you can probably pick both up. DP also only has a limited release so you'll be able to pick up Fable anytime but DP may vanish from store shelves. |

I wonder how this'll effect the Megaman series etc. Megaman Legends 3 in particular. |
Dunno about Legends, but Megaman isn't rocket science. Keep the tight controls, and good level design, and they can do whatever they want to the rest of the game.
|
Why do you think Legends 3 has votes on the designs? It was suspected this would happen.
|
Got Hasbro Family Game Night 3 and Clue is pretty disappointing. You can't just play the classic Clue game, you have to play with their stupid Minigame rules. :(

Sony of Japan denies any chance of Demon Souls II ever being made any time soon even though the company and development team loved the game in terms of sales, praise, and actual work on it.
Only thing confirmed is if it ever gets made, no PS Move support unless Sony forces it as an optional configuration. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...uls-says-scej/ |
So why are they dropping the servers so soon for DS?
|
Either because Sony needs them for upcoming games or lack of players similar to MAG dropping servers a couple of months after it was released.
It has been about a year since the US and Japan release of the game so it probably is more related to lack of players filling the servers. |
Good luck, Keiji.

Seiken Densetsu 3 - Really fuc*ing hard. Takes forever to level up. Insane boss fights right after each other. At least it's better than Secret of Mana.
XenoGears - I am really not about this game so far. Read for an hour, go find your friends, battle for 30 minutes, get lost in a sewers, read for another hour. Kirby's Epic Yarn - It is so easy. |
AssMan, have you ever played any of the Tales Of series? I get the feeling you might like the storylines, but hate the actual gameplay.
|
Have never played those. Is Skies of Arcadia part of that? Cause I want to play that one. Was going to eventually play Tales of Symphonia probably. What is the gameplay like
|
|
Sounds feasible. Looks kinda like Star Ocean or Final Fantasy 12. I liked both of those, would have liked Star Ocean a lot more if it wasn't for a few obnoxious flaws in the battle syste.
|
XBL working again wooooooo
Fable 3 scratched to hell boooooooo |
Symphonia is glorious, def get it. Also, get Abyss and Legendia, the 2 released on PS2. The one on the Wii is a sequel to Symphonia, but it's kinda weak by comparison so you might just wanna bootleg the motherfucker.
Fuuuuck, Vesperia is sooooo good. Love that one. It's on 360 rn, but a suped up version is on PS3 in Japan. Their shit is region free, so I dunno. Dunno if it's ever going to come to American PS3s. |
Microsoft rumored to be considering bringing back the Project Gotham Racing series as a way to compliment their Forza series. Original studio behind the PGR series was bought by Activision in 2007 and helped create Blur in 2010.
One rumor is to have the Forza developers also work on PGR 5 but Microsoft is looking more for a European developer to take on the series on its own. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets...010/11/pgr.jpg http://kotaku.com/5678552/project-go...ing-a-comeback |
Eh.

Yay, I love PGR.

Word, PGR was a fun series.

I thought that was pretty decent. I didn't put hours into it because I don't have a PS3, but the little I played didn't turn me off. And I'm not too crazy about the SOCOM series at all, but Confrontation wasn't bad.
Under proper direction, these guys good do a decent kind of RE, especially if it's actually based on the Raccoon City era (I'd place it somewhere else but RC is the rumor). |
Glancing over my nephew playing GTA San Andreas and... there's some shit I would have liked to see in GTA4. Namely the occupation modes when you get in a firetruck, ambulance, or police car. Were they added in any of the expansions or what? I think you could hunt criminals in GTA4 using the police website, I think.
|
Yeah you could hunt crimials from a "most wanted" list or just listen to the police radio for random crimes that are happening at that time.
I guess they took out the other jobs for the sake of realism? Though I'm not sure how it would be unrealistic to have an illegal immagrant being a taxi driver when it's ok to give him the ability to be a cop. |
LOL Power Gig: Rise of the Six String got a 4.0 from IGN. Another Rock Revolution I guess. This actually has some songs I want on Rock Band. Like The Night by Disturbed, and Awake by Godsmack.
|
The game is actually called Power Gig: Rise of the Six String? The game deserves a 4 for the name alone. Sheesh.

Microsoft reviving the episodic "tv show" plan for a new gaming show revolving around online poker. Same studio and marketing that was behind "1 vs 100" is developing the new game show.
Beta invites and applications have already started with the initial batch being picked by e-mail. Most likely Microsoft will support this new show better due to lower costs to maintain and easier to setup for shows and tournaments unlike 1v100 that became too expensive over time. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets...fullhouse2.jpg http://kotaku.com/5681607/microsoft-...oker-game-show |

Gonna go play XenoGears.........................

XenoGears just got pretty interesting, was tedious up to this point.

|
:eek: XenoGears
But it was more like 25 hours of the boring part. |
lol, playing DKC and never really read any of Kranky Kong's scenes before. Pretty funny stuff.
|
XeroGears. There is an odd Super Mario 64 reference in Cranky's Save Cave in DKC3. But Cranky has the best music in DKC2.
|
It's Wrinkly's cave, not Cranky's. Cranky is at the minigame stand in DKC3.
|
the reason is Donkey Kong Country 3 came out after, or near the same time as the N64, so they were just advertising/referencing it in DKC 3.
I remember buying DKC 3 and the N64 almost at the same time. |
Yeah that was strange. Should have just ported the game, but I guess that infringed on the whole 3D era bullshit we rushed into.
|
Were there any original 16-bit-style games on the N64 at all?
|
Quote:
Maybe Paper Mario but never played it on the N64. |
I guess Killer Instinct is close to what I'm thinking of. Definitely not Paper Mario.
|
I don't think I should suffer through 5 hours of boring shit on a game I spent money on till it gets good.
|
|
tbh, I like the 2010 version better. Far less motion sickness and getting lost and somehow getting into an area without having the right colour key yet and all that other shit.
|
I hate you funky fly.
|
You know what? If real life were more like the 1993 FPS, it would take me forever to find you and stab you with my gun. However, since real life is closer to the 2010 FPS, I'm gonna stab you with my gun right quick, asshole. :foc:
|
bring it, honkey.
|
Hate modern FPS so much. Just dullsville.
|
There are some good ones but the problem is everyone either just copies Halo, Call of Duty, or whatever shooter game ends up becoming popular. Also doesn't help that Microsoft basically created the Xbox 360 as a "shooter"-heavy console and Sony followed after initially make fun of them.

Konami announces Metal Gear Rising will miss the late 2011 release date they wanted and now is set as a TBA 2012 release date. Earliest the game could be released now is middle to late 2012 since an early 2012 date would have been announced by now.
No reason why the game is delayed but the Metal Gear series does have a history of delaying games past original release dates. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets.../11/rising.jpg http://kotaku.com/5684211/metal-gear...yline=true&s=i |
Take their time, I say. This is bold new ground for the series, I'd hate to see it come out as a so-so action game.

Rockstar to release trailer to the long delayed L.A. Noire game on November 11.
The game has been through 3-4 development studios since 2004 and been funded initially by Sony until 2007/2008 when Rockstar took over. Rumor has it one of the secret deals involving the GTA Episodes being "exclusive" to Microsoft meant this game had to be exclusive to the PS3. Once Microsoft lost the exclusive deal to the Episodes, this game became a multi-platform game to appease Microsoft. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets..._debut_640.jpg http://kotaku.com/5685282/finally-a-...-noire-trailer |
Games with turbulent development histories usually show it. I hope R* managed to get something out of it.
|
So is that game going to be a noir gangster free roam? I'm guessing it will be to noir movies what Red Dead was to westerns?
If so, that's incredible. Although GTA has touched on so much of noir and crime films, despite being in a modern setting. I don't think it will be as refreshing as RDR was. I'm not sure what other time-period/genre they can tap into though. |
More like your a detective investigating a major crime or series of crimes but using the GTA model for free roaming and world. They want the game to look like the old 1940s and 1950s style detective films in appearance.
I forgot how the game was shaping up when the initial team and then Sony were making the game but it was going to be a bit different in style than what Rockstar is doing. Sony kept rejecting and changing stuff during development which explained why it cost almost $60-$100 million before they sold it to Rockstar to finish. The other game Rockstar is doing called Agent is completely different since your a spy during the Cold War. |
Agent sounds better. Any more info on that?
|
Quote:
|
By tapping into westerns and now noir, they've really touched on the two film genres that have the most distinct identities.
I'm curious what they will do after that. Agent sounds cool. Hopefully it's a love letter to Bond/espionage films. |
