For those of you who were interested in Eye of Judgement, you should be pleasantly surprised by the just released pricing information.

Quote :

"Pricing = $69.99 Yep, you’ve heard it here first. The SRP for THE EYE OF JUDGMENT software bundle in the US is $69.99. The bundle includes the following: • THE EYE OF JUDGMENT software (disc case, manual, Blu-ray disc) • PLAYSTATION Eye camera • Judgment (camera) stand • 9 Fields Battle Mat • (1) Starter deck (includes 30 Summoning Cards + 4 Function Cards) • (1) Booster pack (includes 8 randomly inserted Summoning Cards with one guaranteed to be rare or ultra rare)"

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/09/20/5-things-you-dont-know-the-eye-of-judgment/

I was expecting Guitar Hero-esque insanity with the pricing, so this is pretty cool. $10 more than a normal game and you get the camera and everything.

Oh, and Amazon.com currently has it for $59.99 if you pre-order now.

I kinda want the PS eye without that BS card game. I'm sure I will never play it, so hopefully they release it on is own....

Did anyone play the Skate demo yet? Holy shit, that game suprised the hell out of me. The last time I really played a Tony Hawk was Tony Hawk 2 back in the day, and I completely lost interest after that since they were just rehashing. Skate wasn't even on my radar, but now that I've played it I'll DEF be picking it up. It's awesome!! (an awesome EA game??!?!)

9/21/2007 9:22:09 PM

Wtf sony? What was exactly the point of deviating from this and going the Sixxaxis route again? For tack on bullshit like Lair? Doesn't make sense.


Remember when Sony's Phil Harrison called rumble a "last generation feature?" Well, can't call the man a liar because he was absolutely right! GameDaily BIZ confirmed with Sony today that the technology in the recently announced DualShock 3 is identical to that in the DualShock 2. So anybody expecting Immersion's next-gen rumble technology can just let those dreams pass into the ether. It's just what you have on your PS2.

9/22/2007 1:44:19 AM

Does the DualShock 3 even have that tilt crap anymore?

9/22/2007 9:06:46 AM

Yeah of course it does. And there is no "confirmation" about the technology in the Dualshock 3. It's all just hands on observations by people who tooled around with it at TGS. Some people say it feels the same as the Dualshock 2, others say it has "stereo" rumble where it hits certain parts of the controller based the action in the game. Again, it's all just hearsay for now.

Here we go, from 1up's hands on impressions of MGS4

"We did enjoy the various rumble effects employed by the new Dual Shock 3 controller, though: As explosions rattled around Snake, we could actually feel the direction from which they were coming based on what part of the controller virbated."

Is there a way to run a scan disk or something on the ps3? Ive ran into an issue that is really makin gme think I need to send my system into Sony....

While playing Warhawk, (The Downloaded Version), It has started to randomly lock up, and when I mean lock up , the controller stops working, the music and graphics get really choppy, and I end up having to restart the system. Ive had the game since launch, and it has just started doing this recently. Now the controller wont turn the system on anymore, the red light on the system blinks when it is turned off, I dont know what is going on. It is like there is some kind of error on the Hard drive. Is there a system diagnostic tool I can run? Anybody have any ideas as to what I can do? I would care so much, but it seems like the errors in Warhawk are spilling over into other areas, aka the controller not turning the system on anymore, the menu screen getting choppy sometimes........

9/26/2007 7:23:34 AM

Only thing I can think of trying is a full factory reset. Turn it completely off with the power switch in the back, leave it off for a few minutes, then turn the switch back to the on position. Turn it back on by holding the main power button down for a few seconds. That should bring up a reset menu or something of the sort, giving you the option to do a full format and factory reset. You'll lose all your downloaded games and stuff, but you can always redownload them.

9/26/2007 7:44:10 AM

can I redownload Warhawk for no cost?

9/26/2007 8:36:36 AM

Yeah, anything you've already bought or downloaded previously will be in your PSN account.

9/26/2007 9:05:23 AM

bought skate last night, it's a pretty rad game. The city you skate in is huge, lots of great spots to skate. Just riding around trying to get from point a to point b is fun and makes you appreciate the scale of the game. The controls make for one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. I have yet to play the online portion, but I'm hearing great things about it. This is a truly innovative and fun game, and coming from EA that's a real shocker.

The ONLY downside, and one that almost ruins the game for me, is the now-famous EA framerate issue. Whenever a new section of the map is loading (seamlessly), the framerate goes down the shitter. It's BAD, and really interrupts the flow of the game. I'm incredibly pissed off at EA, it's so bad they should've fixed it before it was released. BUT, I'm playing it anyway cuz it's just too fun. Highly recommend this one!

9/26/2007 11:05:30 AM

I hate to bring it up, but it doesn't do that for the 360. framerate is smooth They need to start hiring people to code for the ps3 b/c thats bullshit.

Quoted from gaming review..

the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are almost identical, save two things. The PS3 features some limited Sixaxis control. You can maneuver your board with tilts and do powerslides by pulling up. It's pretty much useless though and is off by default for good reason.

The other difference, unfortunately, is one that has become commonplace among EA's multiplatform titles. skate on PS3 is the cross-eyes sister to the 360 version. There's a lot of aliasing issues and the game in general is blurry (possibly to hide some of the jaggies). The framerate, which is perfect on 360, is choppy on PS3. It isn't enough to affect the gameplay, but it's certainly noticeable.

Warhawk is fun as crap still.

I'm getting a little pumped about Final Fantasy XIII. I know its going to be a long while, but still. I might gt FFXII sometime just to get pumped for the next one, and because I haven't played one since VII and I'm way behind on the gameplay.

9/26/2007 1:30:35 PM

You should most definitely play XII. It's almost a reinvention of the series, similar to what RE4 was to the Resident Evil series (although FF never got stagnant).

The game I'm looking forward to atm is R&C Future: Tools of Destruction. I've never played any of the other R&C games, but this just looks to amazing to pass up. There is gonna be a demo of it October 4 on the PSN, and check out the trailer that's up there if you haven't already.

" We have had some of the most talented developers in the world working on the PS3 version since day one. Before they had anything to work with with CoD4, they were taking CoD2 and bringing it over to the PS3. This gave them a massive understanding of how the PS3 hardware works (and only took them a few months). As soon as CoD4 was ready to be under full development, that team began optimizing the game for the PS3. Which was in month 4 or 5 I believe."

Omg, these 3rd party developers have obviously been money hatted by Sony to tell lies about their experience developing for the PS3!!!!

9/26/2007 2:39:35 PM

And yet the games the consoles share aren't drastically different despite price and hardware deficits the Xbox360 gives to the ps3.

9/26/2007 2:44:27 PM

^ So what are you getting at? That you just hate the PS3 and everyone that likes it? How about instead of asinine comments, you just don't buy a PS3? I'm pretty sure thats the single biggest thing you can do to hurt Sony as a consumer. And as an added bonus, no one will think that you are a total douchebag.

9/26/2007 2:54:20 PM

^^Well this is true, and is probably the primary reason why the PS3 has been selling poorly. People who are looking to buy it primarily as a game console see the price difference and wonder "wtf is the point?". I don't think this has been a surprise to anyone, not even Sony.

Imagine, for a moment, if the PS3 had been released alongside the Xbox 360, sans Blu-ray and for $399.99. The Xbox 360 would have DREAMCASTED. I mean, it wouldn't have even been close. Instead of hyping Halo 3 this year, MS would be announcing the closing of their games division. Instead, Sony decided to go for what they thought would be the much more lucrative target of HD media. Of course, not even that has panned out yet for them, and there is really no telling if it ever will.

As a game console though, the PS3 isn't any different from any other game console that has ever been released. The first year of releases have been as per usual, and real system sellers aren't going to come until it's second year. In fact, I'd say the PS3 has had a much better than average 1st year lineup, but still can't really be compared to 2 years worth of 360 releases. However, the PS3 isn't going to discontinued. Sony is not Sega. The PS3 is not the Dreamcast. The 2008 lineup for the PS3 looks absolutely amazing, and I for one, have never once regretted my purchase.

9/26/2007 2:59:43 PM

I spoke at length with a programmer for Epic games the other day (probably 1 hour). He is telling me that they are finding coreleasing games on the PS3 and 360 very difficult. He was telling me that it is coming at the sacrifice of the PS3 titles, because they are cutting corners. he said it will get better, but not to expect anything spectacularly better in the way of PS3 graphics over the 360. I literally had the PS3 in my hands and decided to put it back on the shelf. So there does seem to be some validity to titles being better (right now) on the 360 than on the PS3. he was so determined to prove it to me, he said I could come over to his place and view any game that is on both the PS3 and the 360 side by side on two different displays and see the difference.

I know 3 ppl with PS3s and Xboxes and they all swear the PS3 has better graphics.

From what i've read the PS3 can push more vertices, but it can't support as high resolution textures as the Xbox.

10/1/2007 8:25:51 AM

i have both and im not really impressed with the ps3's graphics so far just because they were hyped up so much to be way better and they just havent been yet...

10/1/2007 9:15:02 AM

I have both too and 360 games have the more mature graphical games. That's not to say that Ps3 doesn't have the potential to push more visually complex games, and I'm sure they will! Textures fidelity and 'sheen' winner goes to the 360. It's really a wait/see for PS3, with Uncharted being the only offering they have to really capture 'next gen' graphics in my opinion. Motorstorm isn't that bad looking honestly, and has a strong fidelity at this point - it's just...i dunno, a racing game so I can't make an apt comparison.

10/1/2007 1:52:25 PM

I think Uncharted more or or less puts to the rest the idea that the PS3 doesn't have enough video memory to do proper textures. Completely kills it actually.

10/1/2007 2:10:19 PM

Of course PS3 has the capacity to do proper texutres. It has 256/256 dedicated memory with little interruption of bandwidth. However, you are capped at size and breadth where the 360 has more flexible GPU memory of 512.

I think the textures still look a bit washed out to me. Look at the ground...I think the 360 has a better set of ram capacity for more high fidelity textures at one time. The geometry and model are very impressive in these shots. So don't get me wrong, I think that looks great. Really great. Two thumbs up! Hope those shots hold up from their very very good buffer screencap thingy they use. You know how that always tends to go.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it. Besides, I think that game has more going for it in the animations department, so to your credit (actually Naughty Dog's credit ) they even have more going for it than screenshots do it justice.

10/1/2007 2:18:29 PM

Actually, I believe these are all screencaps some kid on a forum took from some recent gameplay videos. So no framebuffer magic here.

Here is the actual video they were taken from.

http://gamersyde.com/news_5206_en.html

10/1/2007 2:26:07 PM

The video looks great. Can see the influence of Tomb Raider and Gears of War. The stop/pop and 'nade lobbing and gun fights are alot like Gears, environment and theme are obviously Tomb Raider related.

I'm about 80% buy, 20% rent right now. I hope they dont mess it up. Although honestly, they have a good reputation. I like jak/daxter...I really like the PSP title, althouhg I'm not sure if they directly were developing it.

10/1/2007 3:23:14 PM

anyone given any thought to Guitar Hero III vs Rock Band?

I wonder if the guitar from GH3 will be compatible with Rock Band + vice-versa. It would really suck to have to buy the guitar twice, considering it's essentially the same.

Also, I wonder if either guitar will work w/ GH 1 & 2 for PS2. It'd be nice to finally get to play those 2 (I was late to the party) on my PS3.
