The Old Sony Megathread

Does XCom work in 3D? That could look quite cool, like a tabletop miniatures game or something.

Hologram XCOM would be better. Man. That'd be sweet.

[Baddar]

Baddar, my roomate and I are stuck too with trying those missions just the two of us. We can help, too.

For what it's worth, I should be on it tomorrow from around 12:30pm my time. We'll have to get on together soon.

When are you free? I can't do tonight, but any other week night up until 11pm UK time works for me.

I was surprised that only a small amount of stuff actually jumps out of the television. most of it was just like a "tunnel" into the tv. sometimes you get an object or a bird to fly out at you, some of the interface floats slightly.

Anybody find a decent deal on a replacement HDD? I know any 2.5" HDD will work - best one I've found thus far is a 320GB for $40 via Amazon - but I get a sneaking suspicion I could do better.

NBA 2k games look sweet in 3D on Xbox so try that.

Unless you are aiming at anything special in low noise or speed (pretty much SSD, which is a great investment - even with the sata 1,5 , my 2009 MacBook is sprinting with it) my general rule of thumb is go as big and cheap as possible.

They only did it to annoy you Matzat.

[Herr Matzat]

I am not annoyed. Head-shaking is good exercise. They must have don something different to these games? Animation clips in betwen or something? I can buy each of theses games for my Mac at 4,40€ and they are about 30-60MB,

Are they any different at all than the free versions you can get on android? I have them and they're pretty long games, can't imagine there'd be many more levels.

[Herr Matzat]

I did a bit of research yesterday. The cutsceens are now animated instead of screenshots ( i asume thats adding to the filesize) and there are a bunch of exclusive levels. But only 18 or something in that range. Aperently it plays very well with the PS3 controler, but why wouldend it with the stick.

The price is still overshooting it´s target anyway. It´s twice the big screen PC full price for some animations and a small amount of levels if you consider how many you get.

[King Ellis]

They put lead in the game to make it heavier and seem more substantial.

[Cactus Drags]

Kids like Angry Birds. Parent sees Angry Birds 360/PS3 game. Parent buys Angry Birds for kid.

It's not rocket surgery.

[Your Mom]

Before I had an ipad I bought the first Angry Birds for like maybe $5 on PS3. That price is insane

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Bought and downloaded Persona 3 (PSP edition) for Vita. The pop-up character conversations suit the game ok so don't feel it's much weaker than PS2 version yet (after 10mins play).

Anyway, Virtue's Last Reward addiction continues with my squeezing in sessions before sleep, on the loo, waiting for shower, quiet moments.... 16 hours in and two thirds of the way there I think. Completed most of two of the three time line chunks (except for some endings that require you to learn other stuff from other time lines to progress past). It continues to tell a good and deep story with surprising parts. Just annoyed that if you make a selfish decision you're seen as a baddie while if some others make a selfish decision it's seen as kinda ok and understandable.

Going back to the 3D topic, I found resistance 3 was amazing in it.

[Herr Matzat]

Apparently a Vita only holds up to 100 Apps (i dident even know there were as many?!)

Wassent resistance 3 one of theses games that supported two player 3D? So everyone got a fullscreen 2D Version.

EDIT: Blah, I can never tell when I'm at the end of a page or not now for some reason.
