Not on PartnerNet at all. Thought Konami usually does put up advance info and any builds playable ahead of time on PartnerNet. SOTN was available via PartnerNet like almost 2 months before it was released on XBLA. I'm going to contact an old friend. Not Solid Snake though, he's busy. ;)
 
Hmm, I might get MGS1 on a downloadable service. Even if it just hit the PSN.

Traded in Guitar Hero 3 & GTA4 today and got Burnout Paradise. Wow, I don't really know what's different, but that demo didn't communicate anything about the quality of the final game. Maybe they didn't have the flashing, dinging turn signs for turns in the race? I dunno, but the final game is awesome.

I wish the PS3 controller wasn't so awful for racing games so I could've gotten it on its lead platform. Oh well.

I wish the PS3 controller wasn't so awful for racing games so I could've gotten it on its lead platform. Oh well.[/QUOTE]The triggers on the DS3 work much better for racers IMO (work really great for Burnout Revenge). They feel different than the 360, but still work (I mean, even 1UP said themselves the PS3 triggers work best with Burnout Paradise, but that's just an opinion). But I dunno, I still prefer pressing X button over anything on racing games (although I prefer using the PS3 triggers for Burnout Paradise and NFS Carbon) because that's what I got use to back in 1995 with Ridge Racer and Wipeout on PS1 near launch. Try downloading demos of PS3 racers to see what I mean (I own 7-8 racers on PS3 and don't have control issues).

But then again, I still bought mine on PS3 because it was the version all my friends were getting (and I don't have XBL Gold), and I have a PS Eye (so my picture could be taken). I've put over 23 hours into Burnout Paradise and still play it often.
 
The "triggers" on the PS3 are god awful.

The need to be reversed like the 360. Makes it perfect for FPS and racing.

i agree. it always feels awkward when i use the triggers.
 
I've only used them on demo units but those convex triggers drive me nuts on PS3, and drove me nuts for shooters on PS2. The added trigger just makes it worse. The dreamcast got it right, xbox followed suit, but for some reason Sony doesn't realize that, no matter how much Mana Knight SPIN gets in this thread.

Ima play some NG2!

Anybody else notice how having a full time job and other activities/social life makes you appreciate games even more? I was so hyped to play NG2 today after working, then exercising, then getting groceries..

im opposite. when i had school, i barely played games at all and wasnt hyped about anything. but now that im off for school, i appreciate my games ALOT more. ive already beaten 7 games in 5 days. i might actuall kill my backlog this summer;)

What happened to Apossum? I was going to look up something in his profile and ... it wasn't there. Did he switch user names?
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']i agree. it always feels awkward when i use the triggers.[/QUOTE]I dunno, it has felt fine to me. IMO, Burnout Paradise shows the PS3 triggers can work well (It was designed for PS3 in the first place mostly), but MotorStorm, DiRT, and Sega Rally Revo, they don't work as well (better using the X button).

[quote name='zewone']The "triggers" on the PS3 are god awful.

However, my personal preference is symmetrical analog sticks over triggers (I actually wish PS3 just stuck with the DS2 R2 and L2 buttons). One reason I have issues playing Beautiful Katamari on 360 is that the asymmetrical analog sticks make it very hard to control the Katamari around IMO. I was not a big fan of the setup for AC6 either. But when I play a game on 360/Xbox which was designed for 360/Xbox previous (or never came to a PS platform).
 
whoo! another day another $40 tank of gas :argue:

man fuck dat!!

prolly gonna play dat Rondo of Swords tonite.

[quote name='gunm']Rei said even pre-orders might not get fulfilled.

I'm a little concerned, although my store has historically been pretty solid about that kind of thing so far.

I guess the alternative if you miss out is the MGS4 PS3 bundle @ konami.com. lulz. :p[/QUOTE]call your store.

I talked to the dood today, he said he knew of other stores getting less stock but they are good to go and will have enough to fulfill all pre-orders.

he also said they'll be holding them for 72 hours!
 
Don't worry about the preorders too much. Just make sure you pick it up Thursday. I've never heard of a game getting 100% pick up. So there's always people who don't pick up their game.
 
I thought something seemed kinda strange about that as well , when yesterday his post back on page 3 , came up with no info or avatar under his username. It was just his name and nothing else.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Yeah, I just hear that? The hell happened?

:cry:[/QUOTE]

probably got tired of the infractions and crap..plus InuFaye is banned..might of ticked him off
 
I dunno. Apossum took a hiatus from the boards before--not really like him to just dig without an explanation. Maybe something weird happened to his profile.

The 360's triggers are shaped like gun triggers:

Thus, it makes shooting simiar to firing a gun, which is natural to the human finger.

The PS3's is the opposite and it feels awkward.
 
It'd be nice if the 360 triggers were designed into the DS3. Besides the ergonomics, I don't like how mushy the PS3 triggers are.
 
I'll email Seth and find out, if I remember right, SSF2THDR beta was still live only Ryu/Ken.

Another point I wanted to state about the PS3 triggers.... It's like the fingerfuck you never wanted.

Also PS3 trigger score.

Anyone else want to join in on the debate(or lack thereof)?

I'm just playing with you all
.

Hehe, I figured there would people who would jump on me when it comes to PS3 triggers. I don't care, since I've disagreed with people over 1000 times in my life. ;) Kind of like how I like getting up very early in the morning, despises large parties, loves homework, greatly prefers basketball over football/baseball, I'm into Gundam SEED (I know many Gundam fans who hate it), etc.

I'll stop the argument there since I rather not carry on. I rather just play SingStar singing to Blink182 "All The Small Things". :D

Anyway, played Mario Kart Wii today with CAG and sucked pretty bad. Got first place once, but that's about it. Oh well, still lots of fun.

EDIT: Speaking of the whole Apossum situation, I probably shouldn't say this, but I actually considered doing the same myself at many forums. There's no denying, I have a pretty bad forum posting addiction and it has held back from me getting many other things accomplished (along with games). But the best solution is just for me to put my computer and all my games/consoles, in a box, and have someone hold onto it for me. Any volunteers? :lol:

You can put me down in the "don't care" column. Both triggers work fine for me.
 
I think the triggers are less than great on both controllers.

The curve of the 360 with everything else like the PS3 or PS2 even would be fine.

but overall, evey1 has their own preference

Every time you watch Gundam SEED a Newtype gets slapped.
 
Gundam LULSeed.

Macross Frontier and Gundam 00, thats hot.

Blink is the shit, old blink though... gotta give them love since they're from San Diego. ;)

I liked Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch... I'm a Star Wars fan, so I loved the the song "A New Hope"!

NES man. Good system.

GUN-DAM.

MM = badass;) (though everyone knows that)
 
Never been on here before: honestly some of the titles chased me away. Anyway, as a first, i'll let you know what happening 2 days, 3 hours, 53 minutes, 9 seconds from this post:

I'm going to be in line. As i get closer, i'll walk up to a desk and hand a man something. He'll then give it back to me a couple seconds later. That thing will be Metal Gear Solid 4, and it will be signed by the man himself.

ENVY ME!
 
ENVY!

I want a copy signed so bad, but no one has yet been able to confirm if places will sell 2 and u can get 2 signed ;(

CRIES

I guess the $40 price for haze is really helping it sell. I went out to get it today and couldn't find it at BB, CC, or wal-mart. Guess I'll just order it off amazon.
 
[quote name='zewone']But he posts at Neo$$$; that's worse.[/QUOTE]

but doesn't NeoGAF have some people who know what's going on, and doesn't stuff often get revealed there first? Seems like even with stupid people there, it's still a good source of info.

Well, I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of Blink182, but I've liked a few of their songs. I just sing "All the Small Things" really well. I cannot sing Brittany Spears "Toxic" too well, along with Beck "Loser" within SingStar.

GUN-DAM.[/QUOTE]Well, Kira Yamato (from Gundam SEED) is definitely a Mana Knight type anime character (kind of like how I'm big into Shinji, Renton, etc.). I have enjoyed the anime overall and still watch it now. But, I really cannot say if I prefer that or Gundam Wing.

That's another things, I'm not into Star Wars at all. ;) But then again, I haven't been big into many sci-fi movies (I mostly just watch comedy).

Getting back to game related discussion, I really need to find the receipt to my PSP Slim, since it's really acting weird. It's now starting to take 2-3 tries to load a UMD, or even have a time where the home screen randomly pops up during a game (happened during a shot in Hot Shots Golf). I don't think it's a firmware problem since I've run three different firmwares since the issue. I just know my Mom has the receipt, since I asked her to pick up my PSP when Meijer had a sale while I was away at college, but hoping she still has it. If not, I may just have to buy another PSP Slim (part of the reason I don't completely care is I rather have the God of War one right now, since it's my favorite color). :whistle2:(

[quote name='refusedchaos']now thats what im talking about!!!!!:applause:[/QUOTE]
Us Gundam fans need to stick together. Seems like there's so few of us nowadays, and the ones around only watch shit like Wing and SEED. I mentioned I liked mecha in the anime thread, and you'd think I said I love futanari (if you don't know what it is, don't Google it)...

MGS4 will be awesome!
 
I know why your PSP is acting up... It's cuz you don't have custom firmware...

lol jk don't rant please.

---

But seriously, both Wing and Seed are sad excuses for Gundam series. You owe it to yourself to take a trip to the UC.

I like NeoGAF and all, but I like many forums. I post everywhere sometimes. Mostly in arcade stick threads and fighting game related threads though.

ALSO!!!!!!!!!! mamesj you will be missed.

Speaking of DW Gundam, after seeing a few friends play it on PS3/360 today, I feel like playing it.
