Is it confirmed they're not, or do we still just have that quote from someone saying "there's no plans as of right now."
Also the question I have to ask next is how many of you bought the first two games without waiting for them to drop in price? I know I did. Thing is I hear a lot of complaining about certain games not coming over, then see these same people talk about waiting for a game to hit the bargain bin (I'm not saying you did that dallow, this is just a general statement about CAG).

Seriously... but man, I wish Sega wasn't so goddamned retarded and actually marketed their good games so that maybe they'd sell over here. Yakuza 3 easily looks better than anything else Sega's got, and it looks like it'll be the best PS3 game this year by far.

I bought Yakuza 2 near release but it's still sealed since I never played the first one (had never even heard of it :( ).
I bought the first one a couple weeks ago, so I plan on getting to that pretty soon.
Rei, it's the usual "no plans" but really doubtful. There'll be an Asian version but that one seems to be Japanese only as well.
The IGN preview sounds awesome:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/950/950036p1.html
The demo -- an actual demo, rather than just a retail version of the game booting up from a save point -- starts off with series' hero Kazuma Kiryu arriving in Kamiyacho and remarking how little things have changed since his last visit. In the distance, he spots his old Stardust host club just as a drunk yakuza gets rough with a couple of girls and tosses them out of the place.
That's when you're given control. We immediately tried to explore the area, but Kiryu kept on suggesting that we go see what the fuss was all about at Stardust. Following his wishes, we entered Stardust and were treated with a cinema scene in which Kiryu finds himself and two friends being confronted by about a dozen-or-so yakuza. Cinema scenes have always been Yakuza's strong point, but thanks in part to the added detail for part 3, they're now even more involving!
Following the cinema scene, the game switches into battle mode. Your task is to work with your two buddies to defeat the entire lot of yakuza scum. This is not an easy task, because one of the guys midway through the fight gets enraged at the fact that he's losing and pulls out a sword. Thankfully, you've got the entire Stardust, both lower and upper lounge areas, to use as your battle ground, and can also pick up all varieties of furniture from the ground to use as weapons.
As with Kenzan, Yakuza 3 offers a far more immersive experience compared to the two PS2 titles. The camera is now zoomed in on Kiryu's back as opposed to the three-quarter overhead views of the PS2 games. There are no transitions between sections of the map now. Yakuza 3 feels like a modern behind-the-back adventure game.
One of the biggest improvement to the series with Yakuza 3 is in load times. A major complaint for the PS2 titles was the lengthy loading that preceded those random battle encounters on the street. The encounters are in Yakuza 3 as well, but there's absolutely no loading. You'll be talking to some thug, he'll threaten you, the camera will pan back a bit, and all of a sudden, you're fighting. After the fight, the camera will zoom back in a bit, and you'll be instantly roaming the streets once again as Kiryu. If the experience throughout Yakuza 3 is as smooth as the demo version suggested, we're in for a treat!
There's plenty to the yakuza experience that, while not getting to try out for ourselves, we saw other players sample. In typical Yakuza style, the game has a number of mini-games, including golf, arcade games, and a rhythm-based karaoke game complete with actual voiced songs. We saw one player sampling an arcade game that looked like a 2.5D shooter.
All this represents what we saw in just 15-or-so minutes playing and watching the game while waiting for the line to clear up so that we could get Nagoshi's signature. If that fifteen minutes is an indication, Yakuza 3's Japanese release on the 26th is going to be one of the PS3's finest moments yet. We'll be sure and let you know all about it.

Lost planet is worth it for real cheap.
I'd say I've gotten my ~$10 out of it. I wouldn't have paid more, for sure.
From what I read, LP:EC can only play with LP:EC and LP:C can only play with LP:C, so I doubt I'd even be able to find a match online at this point -- I'll finish my last two single player missions on normal and be done with it...

Plus, I'm not sure I want to deathmatch or whatever... playing as an Akrid sounds kinda cool though.
You played the PS3 demo, didn't you? What was that like -- I'm wondering what section of the game they used as a demo... (Seeing as how capcom has made some piss poor demo decisions...)

Lost Planet's single player sucked balls. It seemed that just about every gun in the game was the same. Also I hated most of the bosses since most of them were pretty cheap. But I did enjoy the multiplayer in the game. Also I loved Akrid Mode.... well atleast when the humans weren't spamming plasma grenades.

I'll believe that about Kenzan. As for #3, I'll believe "they'll do it eventually, taking their sweet-ass time, finally releasing it for $39.99 well after people stop being interested in it, and well after it looks amazing and immersive compared to other PS3 games."
Because that's how Sega do. Meantime, we'll get "Sonic Does Some More Dumb Shit That's Not Very Fun." The game's coming, but the title's tentative.

I don't agree about the guns being the same. There are some I avoid because I don't find them too useful (energy gun/shotgun), but the plasma gun is a beast if you have the T-eng to use it. <3 that shit. Makes fighting mechs manageable on foot... well, that and the rocket launcher.
The bosses of the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th missions I could see being called cheap. Especially the 5th. That guy was a cock.

Castlevania III was pretty awesome. Then I actually got to the Castle. Shit is soooooo cheap >_<
I'm using the 10 lives code AND mother fucking save states AND it's still tough as nails. It wouldn't be so bad if the characters didn't all move so damn stiff (and if any of the 3 support characters were of any use).
I'm so close to beating it, but at the same time I wanna shelve it and move on.

Well Grant is okay for being able to skip portions of a level. Plus he can reach hard-to-get items. Sypha has been utterly worthless for me. I never can keep her fireball spell, and never even found the ice one.
I think it's called Sonic and the Black Knight
:lol: So true. I gave up on the Sonic Franchise after Sonic Unleashed bombed (though I'll play it when it finally hits $10 or less). I'm just going to play the Genny Sonic's, patiently waiting the day Sega will finally die (fyi, Sega's been dead to me since the DC died) and Nintendo or M$ snatched up the Sonic Franchise.
A Myamoto-produced Sonic game? :drool:

The demo was like the 360 one and MP only.
I just remember a snowy map (duh) and getting destroyed by Japanese guys.
I liked it though, deathmatch had a slower but steady pace to it.
Not that frantic.

Yeah, just saying, don't expect a long term deal. Don't expect to get $60 or even $30 worth out of it.
I played Halo 2 online last night and now I want to play it more..
I wish 3 wasn't such a disappointment. The maps in 2 were so much better.

Ah, I never play MP that long anyway.
CoD4 was by far the longest, lasted quite a few months.
It's always SP first then MP.
I figure Colonies is worth whatever budget price it sells for. I think it was $10 on Amazon but I missed it.

Fuck. Turns out that after paying my phone bill, registering for Evo, and some other vacation-related paymanets, I don't have enough for Valkyrie Profile. Turns out that I misread the price, and the store is selling it for $89.99, and not 30-ish, like I had originally thought. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Also got Suikoden 2 there for $20, and they had 3 copies of that. Panzer Saga from TRU for $20 bucks, Dragon Force for $20, and a used but like new Guardian Heroes for $12.

Yeah, I wanted to snag ToD2, but I never did. Also when a Kmart was closing, I had to decide; Front Mission 3 or Dragon Warrior VII, both 20 bucks. I picked DW7, with plans on coming back in a few days and getting FM3. Sadly, somebody beat me to it. :cry:

I picked up Chrono Trigger again, and I've been making SLOW progress. I really think I'm desperately underpowered right now, around levels 32-30 for all my characters. The last 2 bosses have really punished me, too. They dealt about 130-200 damage to each of my guys an attack. Barely made it out alive. I might have to level grind a little bit before moving on, though. The first time I've had to grind in this game.
Still enjoying it though, and it's definitely not one of those 'overhyped classics', either. It's the real deal.

I picked up Valkyrie Profile from Wal-Mart Years ago for $20. Never ended up playing it , but sold it last year for about $80 along with SotN non-GH for about $40 and FFT non-GH for about $30.
Only reason I sold Valkyrie Profile was because I has picked up the PSP version. Same with the other two.

I'm kinda surprised about being underleveled because unless you avoided a bunch of battles , most of the times I remember playing , I fought most of the battles I ran into and always seemed strong enough to beat the bosses. About the only places I can remember actually "grinding" was the sky mountain place in 12,000 BC and the Black Omen. And both of those I was grinding for items and money , not for levels.

I love it, even with it being a very ugly looking game. it's the kind of game that is fun to love because it's so fucking hard.
still haven't finished it yet... got to the true demon form of the fat guy... how you beat him?

Had a really bad stomach virus or food poisoning bout yesterday. I feel better now, finally. Might continue on with P3, or mebbe DQIV.
I'm with you on the stomach virus, though I'm still working mine out of me...
How far in to DQIV are you? The damn game's length is sorta killing me. Though maybe I'm spending too much time grinding... I don't know.
My PS3 is gathering dust right now though. I beat LBP with the lady a few weekends ago, and now we're trying to 100% everything. Tedious... very tedious.
And I still haven't touched Sly Cooper. I bought that shit back in September.
How's everyone else?

02-04-2009, 12:49 AM
I want to play Sly Cooper 2. Maybe 3, but I heard 2 was the best.
I just started DQIV. Haven't really done anything yet except get to chapter 1 lol. I got too many things juggling around at once, to be honest, but it's all good. I think I'll be gaming more on PS3 once SFIV and Killzone 2 hit. I dunno what I'm going to do tonight. Probably more P3 The Journey, if anything, but now that you mention PS3, I might pick up where I left off in Resistance 2 or Saint's Row 2.

On sly cooper again, Which of those Sly Cooper games is the best? In need a quick fun game because I'm not ready to dive back in to P4 after FO3, and The Darkness is kinda expensive on gamestop.com. Sly cooper 1 and 2 are super cheap though.

Finish Saints Row 2 first. It's still one of the best games I've played this year.
And from my personal standpoint, I wouldn't juggle DQIV with another story driven portable. I say that because I feel like it's story could get convoluted or mixed up with another RPG's story. Though I could be wrong... I just didn't want to juggle DQIV and Chrono Trigger.

When will companies understand that you can't stop piracy by forcing people's hand. All this is going to do is encourage workarounds and piss off the few remaining people who still buy UMDs. The answer to this problem is release every PSP game on Playstation Store with a little extra incentive or a slightly lower price. Give people a reason to buy, not try to force them to not pirate.
I bought a UMD of SFA3Max the other day and dumped it to my PSP. (for reasons of faster loading and longer battery life)
When Dissidia comes to america, if I use the "official" install option, it will delete the dump of SFA3.

It's apparently triggered by the game's installation option.
If you're playing it in the US, you probably already have it "installed" or if you're the type to dump UMDs, you probably installed it another way.

Regardless I think it's kind of a dick move.
And it isn't that far fetched to have them do the same thing when the game uses your memory card to save the game. Same idea, just more enforced.

Amazing. The PSP is such a colossal fuckup the likes of which haven't been seen since Virtual Boy. I still laugh when I think about it.
Hmm.
I love the PSP.
Ok, that makes sense, then, when looking at the two together.
If the PS3 had the same thing going on with it.. holy shit.
A custom firmwared PS3 with all that storage and all that power behind homebrew.. that might be the best ever..
Linux, knucklehead. Linux. But you wouldn't know about that, wouldya?
I <3 companies that try to stop piracy by giving paying customers a hard time.
It's an interesting concept I want to try to research at some point. Environmental criminology is a line of thinking that sez "fuck people's motivations and attitudes, let's simply try to prohibit crime from happening." So we get clubs for the steeling wheels in our cars, changes in gaslines so we can't commit suicide by putting out head in ovens, etc. But it's proven to be completely fucking useless in the digital era: from Lotus "dongles" to use their software in the late '80s, to Sony rootkits, to video game manuals that you have to possess to access the game (Poilce Quest 1 style) - these measures have almost virtually always frustrated and angered legitimate buyers and users, all the while those who are going to use them illicitly continue to find workarounds. It's fascinating stuff. To me, anyway.

You actually made me worried about popping in my brand new DJ Max Fever tonight for a quick play before I save it to my stick. I thought it did it automatically to your memory card or something.
It hurts no one that already dumps their UMDs, and hurts no one that doesn't dump their UMDs.

What did you think of Lost Planet ?
Did you try the multiplayer ?
Didn't try the multi-- I had the original, not colonies and it didn't seem like a game I wanted to try deathmatch in...
The overall game was interesting and a reasonable 3rd person shooter for the <$10 I paid. I don't understand what the fuck is up with Capcom and changing the nature of the game for the final boss fight in some of these games... the final boss in this one made me remember the final boss in DMC. Overall it was a decent game... maybe 7/10?

Also, started playing Mario Party ds and that's alot of fun! I was surprised.

So I picked up Yakuza yesterday since everyone talks about it (never really heard of it before) and got to where I have to find the bar with the little girl. Pretty amusing so far. How long does it take to beat the first and second?
Played some more MHF2 last night and today and have hit a wall now so upgrading my armor and weapons up to try and take down the last mission I'm stuck on in the elder 3* quests.

The main quest? Uh, maybe 10-12 hours? You get what you put into it, though. Theoretically, you could spend a lot more time with it doing side stuff, goofing around, if you wanted to.

I'm going to wait and see which version is better... I'd go with the PS3 version, but they probably fucked something up or the PS3 can't handle the games, so yeah, I'll most likely get the 360 version.Uh, no. They will both be near identical. Outside of Sonic team, Sega has done an excellent job overall keeping PS3/360 versions very similar.
I will buy the game on PS3 for sure.
PSP is dead.Kingdom Hearts: BBS (a game I want more than any next gen game that isn't FFXIII related) says you are incorrect. Plus there are quite a bit of games I want for PSP in March/Feb. My sig/avatar is one of those games.
And oh course I'm totally excited about Growlanser coming to PSP (the original one), because I always wanted it (I can import if it never comes stateside).

-Enhanced environment
-Hi-res villagers and bosses
-Hi-res Leon and Ashley
-Using a 360 controller and using the 360 button replacement mod (displays the QTEs and menu navigation stuff with 360 buttons.)
Does the game have a laser sight in the game or do I need a mod?
Also, do I need the official patch or is a community patch better (the one that adds the correct lighting and textures that the PC version was missing)?

ugh, that thread is a mess...i'm embarrassed. :lol: Grab the official patch first. I don't know if its a requirement, but that's what i did and my shit's working.
also, one of those patches (I think the hi-res villagers) gives ashley a blue shirt instead of an orange one.
The laser sight is in game. It's bright as fuck. Thankfully, there's a mod to turn it down on that same board with all the RE4 mods.
