Civilisation Revolution is brilliant.

Hmmm I like the demo. You'll make me buy it now ya bastard.

Jesus I woke up at twelve, started playing, only just realised its over four hours later.

First two difficulty levels are fairly forgiving, going to push it up a notch now.

Don't do it mate. This game has football manager levels of addictiveness, I pretty much lost my entire weekend. Bloody brilliant fun though.

I got MGS4 in the end. Really enjoying it.

DualShock 2's rumble feature has been dropped, as the vibration "interferes with information detected by the sensor."

June 27, 2008: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller will be available for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) in Europe on July 2, 2008. The eagerly awaited wireless controller with vibration function will put truly responsive gaming power into players’ hands, shaking up gaming experiences when it arrives on PS3 this summer.

It’s not what you see – it’s what you feel that makes DUALSHOCK 3 the first choice for all gamers. More than 28 million DUALSHOCK controllers have been sold since the first DUALSHOCK release for PlayStation® in 1998. Now DUALSHOCK 3 puts some serious power into existing and future PS3 titles, with its vibration function offering even more interactive play between gamers and the many games – past, present and future – which support the vibration functionality. DUALSHOCK 3 also retains the high-precision, high-response motion-sensitive aspects that have made SIXAXIS so popular.

David Reeves, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, commented, "We are delighted to confirm that DUALSHOCK 3 will be released in SCEE territories in early July. We hope this will add to the intense gaming experience for our fans, as we continue to evolve PS3, its software and its peripherals.”

Almost all future PS3 releases will support DUALSHOCK 3, and the controller is already compatible with many existing PS3 titles (firmware upgrade 1.94 required). Face the heart-pounding fear of alien warfare in Resistance: Fall of Man™, hold tight as you tear through the streets of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue™, or feel the thrill of treasure hunting in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune™ – your favourite PS3 games like you’ve never experienced them before.

Making your gaming experience more immersive, more intuitive and more realistic, DUALSHOCK 3 is the only Bluetooth® controller combining vibration function and SIXAXIS™ features, and the first choice for anyone wanting to get the most out of their PS3 gaming experience.

Thanks, science.

The in game xmb update is pretty cool. There's a new trophy system now too. Shame they couldn't have had all this stuff ready from the off but better late than never i suppose.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Finished MGS4. Probably the best game i've ever watched.

how long are cut scenes? I've heard 20-60 mins at a time!

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

There's a few long ones alright.

The cinematic action cut scenes are usually 5-10 minutes at most. They're spectacular though - i wish there was more of em.

The mission briefings are kinda long. Theres 5 of them and some are around a half hour. They're fully interactive though. You can walk about and view all your stats etc.

Then theres the codec conversations but they're not that long really.

You can pause or skip all the cut scenes.

I loved it though. A lot easier to play than any other metal gear. You can blast your way through the game or finish it without killing anyone. Best graphics i've seen on ps3 yet, seemingly endless amount of weapons and items.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Finally, a PS3 exclusive I'm actually excited about.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Picked up MGS there last night.
Anyone playing it online?
Once I get my shit together I figure I'll give that a whirl.

Finally, a PS3 exclusive I'm actually excited about.

I wasn't that impressed with the demo to be honest.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Trust you. I haven't played a decent survivial horror game in years.

I hated the beta of metal gear online, plodding load of shite.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

The siren demo is on the jap store i think. Its alright - i'm surprised the full thing got a decent review.

Metal Gear Online feels a lot better to play when you've spent time with MGS4. Still I could take or leave it.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I'm guessing sony are gonna announce God of War 3, a new Hideo Kojima game and whatever team ico are working on. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce that wipeout hd is out this thursday too.

I hope they don't lean to heavily on home or little gay planet. I've seen far too many trailers of those already.

[Stan Bowles]

will have to wait for some multiplayer games though ! which did you get bad company for ?

 

[Stan Bowles]

Hah I don't think I've played a single MP game with thumped folk yet on the PS3. The lack of in game XMB was a real problem. I'm banking on Wipeout HD being the start of MP tumped nerdiness on the PS3.

And nope three of us have it on the 360, you'll be the final member of the squad. I see mr.citysickness has been on it almost non-stop since Thursday.
