There is definitely an option to turn off the cut. I believe it's called brake assist or something like that...

doubleurx 2009-10-16 08:01 PM

So when are we all gonna play some PS3 online and setup an SECCS clan?

100_Percent_Juice 2009-10-16 09:09 PM

haha. The word clan just brought back some seriously old memories. I was in a clan way back when Aliens vs. Predator came out. Good times.

doubleurx 2009-10-16 09:39 PM

Warhawk is hilarious with the clans! I'm not quite sure how the SECCSORG.Clan would be received, but I am sure there would be some funny times.

It would be cool if we could have gangsta clans for say Dirt2.

now these are some great clan names :lol:

Brutal Legend should finally be here for me today. I can't wait to play it.



sybir 2009-10-27 10:49 AM

The demo was pretty cool - I heard the game kind of tapered out, though. I'll be curious to get your feedback on it and the more RPG-ish elements.

tysonK 2009-10-27 12:31 PM

Anyone getting DJ Hero?

cody 2009-10-27 01:20 PM

You should get it and invite me over.

I'll be wearing a head band a bunch of glowsticks!

sperry 2009-10-27 02:01 PM

I kinda want DJ Hero, but I don't want to have to buy more hardware to play it. From the looks of it, the regular controller could have been used just fine to play the game. :unamused:

Kevin M 2009-10-27 02:59 PM

Ironic coming from a guy who won't play driving sims without a wheel. :lol:

Nick Koan 2009-10-27 03:02 PM

Guitar Hero could be done with the controller too, but it wouldn't be as much fun.

As for DJ Hero, I can't say I'm impressed with what I've seen. But, I thought the same thing about Guitar Hero, so maybe its one I need to play first before I pass judgment on it.

Not really ironic. A driving game is 100 time as fun as a XYZ hero game to me. I don't want to drop $100 on a fake DJ turntable since it's not going to add to the enjoyment for me as much as a $300 wheel does for sim racing. Especially since I've got Rock Band already and I hardly every play it anymore. I don't want to waste $100 on the DJ stuff too and not play that 6 months from now as well. I *always* go back to driving games even when I take a hiatus.

The DJ hero controller could be replicated with correct use of the thumb sticks on the normal controllers and you'd have virtually the same hand motions.

It's a lot harder to replicate the guitar and especially drums for the rock games on a regular controller.

100_Percent_Juice 2009-10-27 03:44 PM

The game sounded boring with the hardware and then you just buried it with the "can't I play this game with the controller" comment. I predict this game with fall on its face. What's the next game, virtual drink mixer?

I just like the idea of Rock Band with songs from the musical genre I like most.

Just wait for Industrial Hero when they give you two pipes and a metal trash can as the controller.

I've got those in my garage already. But I bet they won't license 3rd party controllers. :unamused:

Holy crap, win.

Is no one else here playing Forza 3 yet? If you're not, you should be.

I grabbed it last night and played for about 90 minutes. So far I think it's mildly better than Forza 2... but Forza 2 was a pretty damn good game... so I'm happy... except for the fact that I'll probably never go back to finish playing Forza 2.

We should get some online races going... or at least some time trials.

skimonkey30 2009-10-29 10:45 AM

waiting on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Its AMAZING!! The sound is by far my favorite part. Nothing like the whine of a supercharger on a GT500 Mustang in surround sound lol

Bob Danger 2009-10-29 01:50 PM

I rolled my Fiat 500 Abarth on Sebring twice last night. Still managed to pull off a victory.

Playing on medium difficulty I see. :P

Zero Punctuation review of Brutal Legend

"Its like Narnia crossed with Ozzfest."
"If all you want to do is play Dragonforce at full volume while ramping a high speed armored rocket car off terrain that resembles various Megadeth album covers, then Brutal Legend provides"

:lol:

cody 2009-10-29 04:50 PM

Awesome. I ordered Brutal Legend and Dirt 2 so I could use a $75 giftcard I had at Amazon and they had a deal where I get $40 off my next game, which will be the new Gran Turismo when it comes out.

I'm an oldschool Tenacious D/Jack Black fan. Of course I don't like all of his movies *cough* Nacho Libre *cough* but Tenacoius D is just too awesome for words. :lol:

A couple of races yes. I haven't started modifying my cars yet.

Bob Danger 2009-10-30 11:07 AM

I just realized there is no Nurburgring. That's shitty.

Libila 2009-10-30 11:19 AM

Are you sure there's no Ring? I thought I saw screen shots of an Audi on it.

Bob Danger 2009-10-30 11:28 AM

You can see it here, but I don't recall seeing it on the game. Someone go check.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6VMatcu6gI
It'll probably be in another car pack. I Fucking hate that shit. Not only do I have to pay $60 for the game, but then I need to go buy microsoft points, and a flogging Xbox live membership. Those rat bastards.

sperry 2009-10-30 11:33 AM

The Ring is in there. Was just driving my E30 M3 there last night. You can get to it by picking "test drive" on a car's menu.

Bob Danger 2009-10-30 11:52 AM

My bad. Who would like to set up the first time trials event?

Is there a built in way to set up time trial challenges? I haven't looked into the multiplayer aspect of the game at all. If not, someone feel free to start a new thread and setup the challenge. We can share gamer-tags and crap there. I can do it this weekend if no one else is interested in setting it up... but I'm gonna be at some lame vampire costume ball thing tonight.

Does anybody now how to get the s204 sti I raced against it but it's not a the dealer in forza3

sperry 2009-10-31 04:49 PM

I just wish there was a bugeye wrx in the game. It's not like it would have taken them and extra 20 minutes to slap the round lights on the '04 model that's already in the game.

I just played the Wet demo on PS3. Super fun. Can't wait until it I can get it used for $20 in a year. It was very similar to the Mirror's Edge demo, but easier. I'm also enjoying the demo for Blazing Angels 2. It's a WWII warplane game.

It's a damn "unicorn" car, which means you can only purchase it in the auction house. Along with my favorite the 2002 Spirit R, and something else.

Bob Danger 2009-11-01 06:21 PM

Not sure if anyone else has discovered this yet, but when driving in the in car view with default controls if you hold the right joy stick forward then move it left or right the drivers head will swivel in the in car view. To the point where you can check the passenger mirror, or look through a corner.

sperry 2009-11-01 10:32 PM

So, what do those of us with wheels do? I don't have a joystick on the wheel!

tysonK 2009-11-03 11:08 AM

Does anyone have Demon's Souls? I was thinking about picking it up. A little RPG here and there sounds fun.

Nick Koan 2009-11-03 11:58 AM

I didn't pick it up, but I've heard good things about it. If I didn't have too many games to play already, I'd probably consider picking it up.

cody 2009-11-03 01:34 PM

I'm picking up Rock Band 2 for PS3 after work. $20 at Bestbuy.

http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1639270

Nick Koan 2009-11-03 01:35 PM

That's game only IIRC, but a good deal if you already have all your plastic band equipment.
