The PS3 Thread of Butterflies and Lollipops!

I actually was ogling the PS3 Slim.. until they revealed that it's NOT getting a price cut in Sweden! The main importer of PS3's in Sweden wants more money so they're basically taking the price cut and sends it into their own pockets while letting the price remain the same for consumers. Great.

 

I hear they have the same problem in Finland.

Scandinavia share the same importer/distributer, so i would guess that it will be the same in Denmark and Norway as well

Uncharted 2 is closing in to its release.

 

Here is the interview with Naghty Dog's co-president, speaking about how the game uses PS3 techology.

Never played the 1st game because unfortunately i do not own PS3 yet, but planning to buy one with the release of Final Fantasy XIII. Has anyone here played it, and why do you liked/not liked it...

 

Trying to make a list of must have games when i buy the console, and Uncharted 1/2 is very close to landing on the list, but need some recommendations and warnings

Liked:

1. Simon Templeman voices the baddie.

2. Variety. There are gunfights, vehicle levels, platforming and puzzle solving. When you start getting tired of one of these elements the game moves on to another one.

3. Simon Templeman voices the baddie.

4. Writing. The plot isn't particularly original, but there are real instances of character development, and dialogue is pretty clever. A lot of stock action movie one-liners get spoofed.

5. Simon Templeman voices the baddie.

6. Visuals. It's a very green game, which is a nice break from very brown games that dominate the market.

7. Simon Templeman voices the baddie.

 

Didn't like:

1. The baddie (who is voiced by Simon Templeman, BTW) doesn't get enough screen time.

Batman looks great on my PS3, but it only runs in 720p for some reason.

What sort of gameplay is closest to it?

 

a) Crash Bandicoot

b) Lara Croft

c) Prince of Persia (the newest games from series)

 

I love Crash Bandicoot, but i realy never like Lara Croft games, and with price of persia i have mixed feelings

Out of these three, Uncharted has the most in common with Tomb Raider. It is, however, more combat heavy, and there's no auto targeting. You have to aim manually using the right stick. Oh, and it has a Gears-like cover system. About the only thing Uncharted shares with the latest Prince of Persia is Nolan North who voices both Nathan Drake, the lead of Uncharted, and the prince.

I read somewhere that Sony planned to reduce the PS3's price by 100 euros. It's still a no-no for me. Too expensive... Moreover, my gaming habits have been on a steady decline since the whole industry stopped producing quality games...

[Morgoth]

300 euros is a good price for the PS3, but I prolly won't buy one anymore, since there's already anough to play on the PC. I rather fork out that money for a new graphics card next year and play Mafia 2, Rage and Crysis 2 supasmooth!

Seriously 300 EUR is expensive? compared to 250 EUR Wii?

Kotaku has two new video ads for PS3: http://kotaku.com/5346940/a-first-look-at-...wer-funnier-ads

 

The second one is kinda meh, but the first one made me chuckle.

[Bokishi]

Bump! PS3 has awesome graphics! Bump! Who want's to play sum Killzone 2??

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

No thanks. Uncharted 2 is so much better.

[Bokishi]

I finished that last week, nice showcase game that was for the system, it felt like playing an action movie!

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I could pretty much say the same thing of Killzone 2.

 

At least the characters in Uncharted 2 aren't all complete idiots.
