I'm pretty sure that if you want to take off the region lock for the PS2 you have to open it and do something.

IDK, I've never hacked a console myself.

Well, the soldering of the insides was eventually replaced by that Swap Magic DVD.

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, Swap Magic is what I use for my PS2.

Most convenient invention ever.

 

[M!nt]

lol ive hacked almost all the newer systems and to tell the ps3 is the easiest one now next to the wii. As for hardware hacks, the xbox 360 has to be flashed or jtaged with both needing a opening of the console.
oh and as for swap magic, meh free mcboot is better.

The newest PlayStation Plus deal is Fat Princess for $7.50, down from $14.99. You can already get it for $7.49 at retail. They really need to lower the normal asking price to make that worth it.

 

[theeboredone]

They had Scott Pilgrim last week for 5 bucks.

Resistance 3 game play:

It looks to be a much, much better version of Resistance 1's game play. Which frankly, I'm okay with given that Resistance 1 felt pretty unrefined while Resistance 2 felt really cookie-cutter.

I've never played the first, though it is at the top of my want list for the PS3, but I was actually pretty satisfied with the second. I find that, while it has a bit of a generic feel, the unique guns and nice graphics(mainly the particle effects) made it worth playing. I do have to say this looks the most promising of the trio, and they seem to really be upping the scale and atmosphere this time around. This might be worth a buy, after I get Drake's Deception of course, and may I say that Among Thieves is 25 gigs of sex on a Blu-Ray. ****ing amazing.

There are already too many good games coming to the PS3 in 2011. Let's just add another one to the pile. Here's Dark souls the "spiritual successor" to Demon's souls.

Apparently, they want you to die so many times in that game, it goes beyond frustrating into hilarious.

 

[theeboredone]

Seriously, why don't they just call it Demon Souls 2. It looks EXACTLY the same gameplay and lore wise to it. You figure naming it Demon's Souls 2 would be a better idea, given how the first was a greatest hits, and a top game for the PS3.

With that being said, most of my friends don't even know about Demon's Souls. Really great game. The difficulty can be frustrating, but fun as well.

Frustrated to the point where I'm trying to run back to where I died, only to forget there is no railings at the end of a path and I fall off LOL.

 

[Lythium]

Because Demon's Souls was also a spiritual successor? Because Dark Souls doesn't look like a "true sequel" to Demon's Souls? Or because Demon's Souls is more or less exclusively owned by Sony, hence they couldn't use the name?

 

[theeboredone]

What did Demon's Souls base itself off of?

And just because the setting is not the same, doesn't mean it can't have the same title =/. FF series comes ot mind.

And it's owned by Sony? Is this coming out for 360 as well?

And 10 points for the douche style talking.

Yes, it is coming out for the 360 as well.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a douche, I was trying to be witty.

Demon's Souls was the spiritual successor a series called King's Field: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_Field_(series)

And yes, Dark Souls is being released for both PS3 and 360.

 

[theeboredone]

No sweat, sorry for assuming.

I'm gonna have to watch gameplay vids of this.

Demon's Souls is owned by Sony and they have said that a sequel is likely. This one isn't called DS2 because it's going to be mulit-platform.

 

[theeboredone]

Well that'll be interesting to see. A game that plays like Demon's Souls coming out for both PS3 and 360...and then a Demon's Souls 2.

 

[Lythium]

I'll take it. :3c

 

[theeboredone]

I just won't know which one to buy x.x. I know Sony holds the name rights to Demon's Souls, but is that same group gonna be making the game?

 

[Chill]

From Software are the developers of both DS and Dark Souls.

 

[Lore]

Has anyone else tried out the Killzone 3 beta? I'm downloading it now.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

^ Not I, as I'm not really a FPS kinda guy. I will say Killzone3 ranks up there with FFXIII and God of War 3 for being beautiful visually.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Has anyone else tried out the Killzone 3 beta? I'm downloading it now.

It's good.

They've been having server issues so don't expect to play it all day.

 

[Serris]

Very solid and pretty to look at. I just wish there was more than one map. Infiltrator is best class. FOREVER.

 

[Lore]

Well, I'm installing it now.

I also played the Dead Space: Extraction demo while it was downloaing. Pretty cool stuff, and I can't decide between getting Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2, or Demons' souls.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

^ Wait for Dark Souls, since online servers going bye bye.

 

[Lore]

Well, I went ahead and got Dead Space due to peer pressure and the fact that it's twenty bucks off on Amazon today. :3

 

[Lobos]

I'll be playing killzone 3 when it comes out. Medic class all the way!

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Dead Space 2 is really fun to play. Glad it came out better than the first.

 

[Crimson King]

The first was awesome, just unbelievably short.

 

[Atlus8]

Man, I wanted to pick up Dead Space 1 and 2, but with the release of MvC3 getting near I didn't want to get greedy!

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I think that was why I was disappointed with the first. The game play and monsters was great but it was just too short. At least DS2 made up for it a tad. I'm still working on the Trophies.

 

[theeboredone]

Not a fan of survival horror games, but I wouldn't mind sitting and watching someone else play the game. Though I did play Extraction on the Wii. It was pretty fun. Can someone confirm for me in spoiler tags (if no one wants to read it) that those characters return in DS2?

 

[Lythium]

Got my copy of AH3 in the mail today. It's a pretty good game, especially if you're a fan of the genre. :3c

 

[Lore]

I just got my LE Dead Space today!

And it's too ****ing scary. ;_;

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Also has the best death scenes as well.

 

[Lore]

Also has the best death scenes as well.

Yeah, those are cool, but they aren't the problem.

The game is just too good at creating tension. I keep finding myself checking every corner and shooting every dead body, but I'm still jumping all the time.

The great sound design doesn't really help either. x_x

 

[theeboredone]

I hear it gets pretty predictable though. So if you're a veteran of scary games, you should know what to expect when you walk into a closed room lol.

And it turns out that the DLC will talk about the characters from Extraction. Hooray.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Pity Resident Evil 5 didn't have death scenes like Dead Space...

 

[theeboredone]

RE5 was a bunch of crap. Just a replica of 4 with better graphics IMO.
