You better not post that video another 998 times. :)

Nick Koan 2010-06-03 04:34 PM

Damn, wrong thread again... :(

cody 2010-06-03 04:54 PM

I guess that's a...video...game... :huh:

MikeK 2010-07-01 06:22 PM

Realistic A-10C sim anyone?

Not due out until next year, unfortunately.


100_Percent_Juice 2010-07-01 06:46 PM

^So... when do you actually take off to battle the geth?

cody 2010-07-02 03:17 PM

What's the best place to try to pick up GTA: Episodes From Liberty City for PS3 used? I just finished the last mission on GTA IV and I want more.

Kevin M 2010-07-02 09:22 PM

Gamestop on Mae Anne next to Safeway has a pretty decent selection.

A1337STI 2010-07-03 06:48 PM

Any one heard about "WRC The Game" think it either just came out, or will be out shortly

http://www.rallybuzz.com/wrc-2010-game-preview-video/ (haven'ted watched this with sound yet) :(

Hopefully the physics will be on par with Richard burns rally simulator. (Which btw there's an RS 2010 Center available for it, with a lot of extra new cars!)

sperry 2010-07-04 02:45 PM

If it's like the previous versions of the game, it will be lightyears behind RBR. Think Need for Speed on dirt with licensed teams. Fun, but not really a simulator at all.

M3n2c3 2010-07-06 11:24 AM

I think I remember reading something that said the devs are trying to go along the lines of the old Colin McRae games.

cody 2010-09-22 09:07 PM

Bit on this:

Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) Pre-order $48 + FS

Kevin M 2010-09-22 09:30 PM

Me too.

sperry 2010-09-23 12:32 AM

I just got F1 2010 today. Not gonna buy a ps3, wheel, and gt5 this month.

F1 2010 is pretty awesome... Except for the crappy codemasters physics engine that makes te difference between a loose car and a tight car: a loose car is a car that snap oversteers when you touch the throttle while it's pushing. A tight car is one that pushes more when you touch the throttle while it's pushing. Either way, the car pushes terminally in every corner. :unamused:

We'll have to race online after it comes in. Hopefully it's not too long after the release date.

I foresee revival of the SECCS official GTx challenge thread.

Haha, with screencaps via digital camera and all? Or are we going to be able to be cool like Sperry and post actual video of our best runs? Shit, I really need to read up on this game. I heard it's supposed to be 1080p 60+ FPS all day long. Is that true?

We can probably even organize live races between multiple competitors.

The biggest issue is really just a lack of feedback to know when the car is pushing. The force feedback isn't there (steering wheel should get really light when the front tires are sliding), there's no sound of the tires sliding, no vibration. You just stop turning.

Maybe I'll get used to it. The rest of the game is really neat... and it's F1... but it's like they just reused their physics engine from TOCA from years back. :mad:


GusGus91 2010-09-23 10:45 AM

I'm down for some online races too when it's out.

If you change your mind, this is probably the cheapest deal on PS3's. Not sure if some of them being out of stock is a deal breaker:

Just bought Dead Rising 2 last night. I only got to play it for about 20 minutes because of stupid date night with the girlfriend, but it's fun. Combining items to make weapons is pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to making weapons like the hand held lawn mower seen here- http://www.ign.com/videos/2010/09/23...ectid=14312882

GusGus91 2010-10-03 08:41 PM

Yea it's really good. I've been playing for a few hours and it's fun. You'll like it. Let's play some co-op. my name is gusgus91

That's Gran Turismo for you. I won't believe it exists until I can see it in the store.

I wonder if Duke Nukem Forever will come out before GT5 :lol:

I'm with Nick. I'll believe it when I see it. But not just on a shelf in the store. I call bullshit until it is actually IN my PS3, and I'm playing it.

Double Phister 2010-10-14 08:21 AM

OMFG! For serious!!?? I expect the delays but getting this close to release I kinda thought it was actually gonna come out soon. Guess I'll get more time with Rock band 3.

100_Percent_Juice 2010-10-14 09:18 AM

RB3 looks pretty awesome. I am not really jazzed about the set-list though. Hopefully they have been holding out so they can release some good DLC.

GusGus91 2010-10-14 10:05 AM

I totally forgot RB3. I got the new Guitar Hero band kit the other day. Songs on that are pretty good.

Also the new Medal of Honor is pretty sweet. That will hold out at least until Black Ops comes out..


And GT5 doesn't exist.. They're just saying they've made a game.. Then they'll delay it again. I gave up hope a long time ago. :(

I like the RB3 base setlist better than I like the first two, but I don't really care much since I have like 140 DLC songs at this point.

Bob Danger 2010-10-14 12:18 PM

I've waited 4 years, what's another couple of months. I figure if they pushed it back this close to the release then it must be nearly complete. Gives me more time with F1 2010, which I need considering I'm doing a full length season.

Bob Danger 2010-10-26 08:55 PM

Anyone else see this new DLC for Red Dead Redemption? Freaking zombies man.

bigrobwoot 2010-10-26 09:03 PM

Is that real? The voice over guy sounds like it's a spoof...

cody 2010-10-28 05:32 PM

It's real. My coworker is really stoked on downloading it last night. He said he shot a zombie before work. I completed all the missions and am a little burnt out on RDR. I'd be all over it if it was a GTAIV DLC though.

GusGus91 2010-10-30 11:16 PM

GT5 delayed until 1/1/2011... Which happens to be a Thursday. Games aren't released on Thursdays. Looks like this game never comes out... LIke I said above. :D

I'd demand for your money back til this game actually comes out..

cody 2010-10-31 08:49 AM

You don't pay for it til it comes out.

Bob Danger 2010-10-31 10:56 AM

I've already payed for it, and have no intent on getting my money back. I'll wait.

Well I should say you have the CHOICE to do it. Which I know a lot of people do..

Holy shit, they're missing Xmas?

Someone at PD should be fired. I mean yeah, the game is around 2 years behind schedule... but when it comes down to the last few months... you get that shit done before you miss out on $20M because you can't get it out before Black Friday or you lose your job IMO.

Kevin M 2010-10-31 01:30 PM

Seriously. What's the point of a January release? Better to wait a few months until all the kids are bored of the games they DID get for Christmas.

Oh, well then that sucks.

GusGus91 2010-10-31 02:48 PM

I think they just said january because they're not sure.. Like I said before the date they posted was a thursday and they dont release games on thursdays.. Who knows when it will be done..

khail19 2010-10-31 10:50 PM

In my junk mail there was a Walmart flier with an ad for GT5. I think WM will be pretty pissed if it's not out for X-mas.

You know what they're probably doing... they're telling us Jan 1, then it'll come out Nov 16 and it'll be "early". :lol:

GusGus91 2010-11-01 10:44 AM

Figures.... Trying to make themselves look good..

cody 2010-11-01 10:51 AM

Newegg is showing this Thursday as the ship date. Amazon is showing Dec. 31st. Not holding my breath of course.

100_Percent_Juice 2010-11-04 09:23 AM

Fallout New Vegas reminds me of the same old crap. I really loved Fallout3 but I grew very tired of searching through every box, desk, body, trash can and wandering for HOURS without getting anything really accomplished. Obviously this is the last game you would want to rent since it is so time consuming but I have to thank Red Box for saving me a bunch of money. Did I give the game a fair chance by playing for only 6 hours? Probably not, but I am not willing to devote 50 hours to finding out what makes the game better than the first. IMO it just seems like an add-on to the first game.

Nick Koan 2010-11-04 09:33 AM

I had that feeling too when I first started playing it. But, I was a huge fan of Fallout 1 & 2, so I've continued along. As the game goes along, the writing and atmosphere comes out, and it feels a lot more like Fallout 1 & 2 than Fallout 3.

I still get that feeling of been-there-done-that on occasion, but once you actually start meeting some of the different factions (like Caesars Legion) and start exploring, it gets really interesting. And once you get to The Strip, it really starts to feel like more than just an add-on. The religious ghouls and nightkin at the rocket factory are pretty cool. The NCR that you meet don't really have much personality to them. They are your standard trying-to-be-the-law type faction. And its kind of unfortunate they are the first faction you meet after leaving the starting town.

But, as the kids like to say, your mileage may vary. It does feel a lot like Fallout 3, and I can definitely see if you cannot get over that. But, if you were a fan of the first 2 and/or just want more Fallout 3, then I think this game fits the bill perfectly.
