If they were futuristic planes, I could accept that honestly, but these are modern era jets n shit.
Why didn’t anyone tell me that Motorstorm Apocalypse was so good?? I’m not even a huge racing fan and this prob is the best I’ve played. Kinda feels like the spirtual successor to Speed Devils on DC, in that the art style, environmental hazards, and emphasis on betting is similar. But the graphics, music, gameplay, presentation, amount of vehicle types, environments, characters, story(lol), customization, and insanity is too on point.
I haven’t played online yet, which I heard is the meat of the game, but there’s a perk system lol. Every game has to have that nowadays I guess.
But yea, EXTREMELY glad I picked this up. Just wish I had sooner. Cuz I was wondering why there’s like $300 worth of DLC for it on PSN. I don’t even make time to play games anymore, but I can see myself on this awhile. Plus, I’m going to be pretty much forced to wreck shit and play online because like 90% of the games content has to be unlocked through online.
Btw, never knew until today that it was a PS3 exclusive. Cool.
Just played R&C 4 Beta, and let me tell you: teamwork is key, if the people you’re playing with aren’t very co-operative or don’t know what to do you’ll have a hard time getting through.
It took me a while to figure out how to play the game and stages but now I feel I can do better if I play again.
If anyone’s planning on playing this weekend, let me know when you’ll be on, and I’ll see if I can join. One thing I worry about though is that the online needs some serious work so i don’t expect it to work very good early on, but they may iron it out eventually.
Oh and for Demon’s Souls fans, the servers have been extended til 2012 it seems.
tried the A4O beta last night for about 20 min. kinda meh so far. there’s this stupid part where the whole team has to hold hands and float up together. one dude left after 5 min. and the remaining three was stuck for 5 more min.
thumbs down for clank not being able to float. thought each character would have something unique.
they shoulda used the chick from TOD/QFB instead of lameass nefarious
it feels more like a beat em up, which is coo but can get old quick. i’ll try hard next time cuz normal is brain dead.
I believe her name’s Tailwin or such and I agree would’ve preffered her over Quark and/or Nefarious.
Dudes, I preordered A4O a loong time ago. Almost forgot I did. But since then, my interest for the game has died down tremendously. And there’s not even any hype for the game. I’m not gonna hate on it, but I’d prefer a UYA/DL competitive multiplayer than a cooperative. It just looks…I don’t know.
Maybe it’s me too, because I made it my business to finish ALL R&C games. Even shitty SM. And I got 100% on UYA. But for some reason can’t bring myself to actually beat ACiT. I feel the ps2 games are superior but whatever.
I’ll prob hit up that beta tomorrow or something. At least once before it ends. Me and SWBeta promised to throw wrenches at shit months ago.
@Boom: Talking about Talwyn? Yea that’s what I said. They like, introduced her, put her in comics, gave her this huge role in QFB, just to leave her completely out of ACiT(asides for a mention) for whatever reason. A4O easily would’ve felt better with her as one of the characters. A ton of people actually like Nefarious for some reason. Idk why. Imo, the most pimpest boss was Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Drek from R&C1. Dude was ruthless businessman. That whole game was “darker” anyway, even Ratchet was an asshole. Now stuff is all Pixar-like.
Btw, R&C1 Ratchet would’ve smashed Angela(GC), Sasha(UYA), and Talwyn. Ratchet now is just like Sparkster from RKA. Saved the princess and didn’t try to get no ass. And everybody knew she was going because she let a few of the pigs smash. This guy saves her, looks like he’s about to shake something, but just flies away. Even as a little kid I knew that he was a punk. Smh…
Here’s an update on FFX HD for those interested:
JP ver. is expected to be released by March 2012, that’s what around 6 months away?
I guess one can only judge on the quality by seeing what it looks like in HD.
I still hope they’ll be HDing the International version…
HD FFX needs to be done. It’s one of the best FF in the series but a lot of the visual things (like the bad lip syncing and general grainyness) kept it from being THE best.
If they HD the international version w/ the Dark Aeons it’ll make the game that much better.
I really need to go back and get the PS2 R & C games.
Right? I regrettably didn’t play them (or even acknowledge them really) when the series was first coming out and got bigger.
But I think during the time they were really getting some steam was when I simply didn’t have the time for gaming (or anything really)
I LOOOOOVVVEEE the PS3 R&C games. I still need to buy A Quest for Booty.
Exactly, and I hear nothing but good things about the PS2 games. I’m praying for an HD collection, but should probably just start looking for copies in good condition lol
^same here. been waiting on HD collection. shoulda copped it when gamestop had buy2get2 free.
@Flymike. damn i thought R&C has always been pixar like.
Yeah, except for Cars 2. That one’s a skip.
How come people are looking at this one way? Couldn’t the regenerating health be labeled “shield”, and that would be acceptable?
I’m going to try the demo and see what the fuss is all about, Top Gun on NES was on rails and I loved it as a kid.:lovin:
Hell fuckin NO!
The problem is that Ace Combat is NOT a rail shooter. If they wanted to make a rail shooter, they should make it a rail shooter, not some cheap hybrid.
And frankly, as I said, if the game was actually futuristic, and had weapons, aircraft, and techniques to match, then yeah I’d be ok with some form of regeneration. But these are modern planes, and not only that but Ace Combat was never the kind of game where auto-regen health would have made any sense.
Fair enough, so it isn’t really a traditional Ace Combat game, only the name is the same. I can see why fans would be upset, and PS3 fans got shafted on Ace Combat 6, thank you Namco.:lame:
I will have to try out the Ace Combats I have on my PSP and compare them.
Eh, as far as “flight sim” games go, Ace Combat has always been one of the most…arcade-ish, so to speak. Though the on-rails comments make it sound as if it’ll straight up Afterburner-status.
Maybe I’ll go download the demo sometime later tonight.
You’re right, it is arcade-ish, but as you said it was NOT afterburner. It was that precious halfway point that some games hit sometimes that is sim enough to take some amount of skill, but arcade enough that it could still be an action game.
In the end I’ll just have to play it myself I guess, but it doesn’t sound good
The new AC is trying for that “hold your hand” type gameplay. It sucked that during the demo there was no way to take out the enemy jets without using the dog fight mode. I can chase those mother fuckers on my own, so let me! Though the music was awesome, gonna need to find me a way to get my hands on that at the very least.
It is sad that now we finally see an AC game on the PS3 and it is not what we wanted. I bought a PS3 thinking that AC series would thrive on it. The Demons of Razgriz will stay as ghosts.
