Group 2 Discussion

Well, I just saw the news on the 199 PSP Bundle that includes the new psp, 4gb memory stick, and Everyday Shooter. If it is hackable (any reason why it wouldnt be, hone?) then I have no excuses left.

Havent tried the Star wars demo, but I have never watched a minute of it, nor played any of their games, so I probably wont even give it a go...

alright, I'll put in my 30 bones in the next few days; Just finished downloading all those games. SB we need to QW at some point!

Never heard of Rainbow Farm Smog, but I still don't consider myself a local yet. I'm guessing Buddah's your best bet of hearing about it. I'll see if I can ask him one of these days.

Sure Hone. I honestly haven't touched QW yet since I got it, but playing with friends is always fun.

Played The Last Guy demo and I'm 50/50 on it. Seems fun enough, but not sure I'd play it loads. Rumor has it coming out this Thursday. Yet to try out SW demo.

Trying to get some of the retro trophies in warhawk going and that games a bitch. Seriously you have to put in way more time than any other game to get some of those ....

Believe it or not I am actually voting No on The Last Guy.

Where is a list of Retroactive Warhawk trophies?

Yea, The Last Guy is ok. I can't see myself playing it for very long, especially after I was pumped for echochrome, but that has failed to rise to the top of my casual play list. I also started playing PJM this weekend. I can't even finish the first stage and get past the first 20 waves, I suck.

There isn't one, but I was looking at them and anything that involves rank, medals or badges has to be retro as that's kept on their servers.

Fallen Star a lock for this week then?

I'm a definite for Fallen Star. I just wish I could stay logged into the psn for longer than 5min I'm still having problems up here. I'm hoping there's a small fw update in the pipe that'll fix this as well as all the mic issues people have been experiencing.

If Linger in Shadows comes to the US this week, I vote yes yes yes!

I tried finding some info on Linger In Shadows, but didn't come up with much.

Also, if anyone else has ever heard of it, Capcom revealed that Age of Booty will only cost $10 when it's released. This is the official webpage http://games.capcomdigital.com/age_of_booty/ and I believe there's also a few vids on gametrailers.com

Edit: for those who haven't checked the PS Blog yet, they've got a little info on a new game called Savage Moon. Basically, its like a SciFi version of PJM. Let's hope I'll be better at this one then I am at that game. No price, but it says "fall release" so not too far on the horizon.

Edit Again: Red Baron Arcade also coming to psn in September.

There's also something called "Play Factory" being developed that's allegedly like an EyeToy minigame package like the ps2 had for the eyetoy, so people can get a little more use out of our ps3 Eyes. It's disc though, not psn.

Hey BR, just read that BlockBuster should be getting PSN cards sometime september ....

Yea, saw that on CAG just now about the psn cards. I've got my hands full with the upcoming disc release schedule, but it'll be a nice option for Rock Band songs that my group doesn't want and for getting Super Puzzle Fighter for myself.

So The Last Guy is $10 tomorrow. Suprisingly, IGN gave it a 9.0 It wasn't all that exciting to me, I just consider it a modern day Pacman. So I think I'll pass on it since there's plenty other things coming out I'll want more.

Linger in Shadows is supposed to be on the UK store tomorrow...It may be a week or 2. If you guys arent down with the arts, I can buy it under my account.... Also, IMO R&C Q4B was probably a waste of $$$

OK, but what IS Linger In Shadows? Like, I haven't found anything that tells me what you do, as in "why is it fun?"

Still haven't tried QfB yet.

My understanding is that it is "digital interactive art"...So you probably dont do anything other than watch and maybe move the joystick a few times. It is just a tech demo. We will find out for sure tomorrow hopefully

so I added my 30 bones to the account =D SB! when are we going to play some qw? Man, I've been addicted to Mass Effect lately. Holy crap that game is one of the best RPGs I've played to date. Think UT3 engine (UE3) + RPG. So decent land vehicling (like UT3's) plus a quasi arcadey (very stat based) shooter with cover. Too bad it isn't coming to the ps3

I'm up for QW anytime. I should probably give it a test run so I know what I'm doing!

Hone what you think of The Last Guy? We got 2 half votes and one no.

Also what's up with UT3 night? Is it still going on? Haven't seen you post in there in a while.

so is Fallen Star a go? I'm about to DL it. . . . .

Fo sho!

EDIT: Bought!

Smog, I was going to write you a message on PSN, but ..... well you know.

To be quick, you'd need 2 run thrus. Hard, then Crushing. On the first run you'd have to pull up a treasure cheat sheet like from gamefaqs or somewhere. Don't worry about the weapons too much as the are easy to get. Just keep using the same weapon until you get the trophy and move on. Oh and try to make all the shots headshots.

Stealth Attacker - In a few cases you'll come up behind an enemy. Hit square to instant death, but then either kill yourself or get shot to death by another enemy quick. You should restart the area and can to the behind attack again. Rinse repeat 10 times.

Steel Fist/Expert is a bitch. I ended up starting again on easy cos then all you have to do is run at an enemy and right as you get on em hit r1 to hip fire then square to finish them off. That same technique doesn't work on hard cos you have to hit them more and I could never do 5 in a row. Easy is your friend. Same for survivor, you can easily kill 50 without dying. Of course by the time/if you play through on easy a third time, you should kinda know exactly what you are doing and won't take long.

I could go either way on last guy.

Guess it's officially a NO for Last Guy.

Pretty good interview with Howard Stringer on Sony and their business practices. (Not really about games)

New rumor is that the PSP3000 allows you to hook up a DS3 controller. Here is the patent for said device: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=20070174531&OS=20070174531&RS=20070174531

hey smiggity, do you still have battlefield? I was playing it online today and it's pretty fun.

Unfortunately yes I do. I should just start giving all the games I no longer want to SB and he can trade/sell them off for a piece of the action. It just seems that no one on CAG ever wants to trade me.

We can get a few rounds in next week. I was also thinking Tuesday night Poker Night. You guys in?

well if you got me that price I would have gotten it from you instead of trading it. I might still be interested in trading for it. Tell you what. If I can get a trade for it. I'll pay you $30 or whatever.
