Can you buy ps1 and 2 games online? I don't own my ps2 anymore but would love to have games like that on a hd. Is this possible on the PSN?I got a question on the Playstation netw ...
You can get classic titles on PSN, but the variety is a bit lacking ATM. If you want great selection, get a BC equiped PS3 and not have to worry about DLing the titles.I got a question on the Playstation netw ...
There are some original playstation games available for download on the Playstation Store. There are no PS2 games downloadable at the moment. I dont know if Sony plans on making them downloadable or not.

pretty much sums it up. Just get a backwards compatible ps3 if you plan on playing ps2 or ps1 games.
no ps2 games yet but there is a very little amount of ps1 titles liek crash bandicoot available on PS Store

Any RPGs with sophisticated storylines?

I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions on my PSP, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the story so far (I'm not that far in, though). Or rather, the story presentation. Sometimes I feel like I'm reading a novel. This is distinctly different from how I felt with many of the newer Final Fantasy games, which felt rather....fake. War of the Lions feels very much like history to me, because the world doesn't feel like it begins and ends with the characters the way the other recent FFs do. I've encountered very few RPGs with worlds that feel genuine. Most of the time, the world feels entirely contrived, like the world was designed entirely to justify a single plot point or a single game mechanic.I wonder, are there any other RPGs, western or Japanese, that have what I'd call ''historic'' storylines? Storylines that try to embed themselves as only a part of a long and complex history, rather than trying to make your party of characters the be-all-end-all of the in-game world all the time? You see it in fantasy novels all the time, where authors write stories which, while still epic, also feel like they are only a small part of a much larger world. It's what makes them so compelling. KotOR manages this pretty well, but only because the Star Wars universe has a long history that BioWare wasn't allowed to manipulate or define. The Elder Scrolls series attempts it, but since the story writers at Bethesda are pretty bad, they don't succeed very often.

Lost Odyssey has the best story line in a game ever for me, and Mass Effect story is stunning too

Lost Odyssey has a kind of historic storyline considering most of the characters have lived 1000 years, you get to see there dreams which tell you alot about there past events which happened over the course of 1000 years. Although it's only text, there very good reads, they might even make you cry. And theres a lot of them aswell.
Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 are really good for that.

Nintendo having a hard time with DS stoc ...

What is Nintendo's problems can't they keep up with demand? ''We're seeing completely different sales trends now. What we sold last week on DS is what previously would have been sold in November %26ndash; so hopefully retail will understand that it is presenting stock challenges for us. But they are issues we are hoping to address. But three years down the road from launch, the fact that our hardware sales are increasing is very pleasing.'' - Nintendo UK marketing director Dawn Paine Everyone talks about the PS3/360/Wii war, but we all seem to ignore discussion of the DS. It's almost taken as a fact that the system will continue to sell insane amounts, with no signs of slowing down. Link Nintendo having a hard time with DS stoc ...
Handhelds are a waste of money, Now if someone could actually make a cell phone that can play games with PSP graphics that had a practical way of playing the games that wasnt clunky in design it would be worth the money.

Fable 2 game of the year?

If Fable 2 delivers everything it is supposed to, I think it could be game of the year material, what do you think?Fable 2 game of the year?
If Fable1 had delievered on its promises it would've been game of the century.Fable 2 game of the year?
Nope, GeoW2, GTA IV and MGS4 has a better chance
[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
Too Human.
No... best 360 game nominee perhaps, but it's not GOTY material, in my opinion.
I hope it's GOTY quality. But I honestly think SC2 will take that if it comes.
brawl already has that title in the bag.
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
Ew, I hope not. And, I hope brawl doesn't get it either.
If Starcraft 2 releases this year,everything else is toast. Even if Starcraft 2 is delayed,Fable 2 would be competing with GTA4. It doesn't stand a chance.
It's pointless to play What If.
I agree.
Nothing stands a chance against the GTA series.. I'm sorry but... It's just not possible.. Not even brawl stands well against GTA4. The 360 has 4 or so possible candidates for GOTY although, being Gears 2, Fable 2, Huxley(if released), NG2, and I think there are a few more not in my head right now, but its gonna be a decent year in terms of AAA's atleast. Gaming keeps getting better and better, and I am loving every second of it.
NO.Too many other big name titles coming out.
GOTY pretty much comes down to: FABLE 2 (IF IT LIVES UP TO mOLENUX PROMISES, UNLIKE THE FIRST) Resistence 2, Killzone 2, MGS 4, or GEOW 2.
It will not and it has no chance.

Getting the best out of PS3/360

So I was thinking that it's a contradictory statement to say ''X game was developed to get the most out of the PS3 and 360'', because in order to get the best out of either system, you would have to develop with said system in mind from the beginning. Agree? Disagree? Voice your opinion.Getting the best out of PS3/360
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]Getting the best out of PS3/360
That's why Free Radical dropped the PC and 360 version of Haze
i agree. thats why games developed on either platform first tends to look better.
also probably why Final Fantasy 13 is being developed only on PS3
Crossplat development is, indeed, a recipie for mediocrity in the technical arena.
agreed

[QUOTE=''earthmonkeyyy'']Yes. Because the Wii has won the war already.[/QUOTE]Wii is selling like hot cakes and can drop its price IF demand slows. Only those in serious denial ***cough*** think that PS3 and/or 360 can pass lifetime sales of Wii.
Yes. The Wii is fighting a different war and, since most of it's multiplatform games are PS2 ports, I think it's fair to say it has gone back in time and is fighting a last gen war against the PS2! :P
Everything that could be bickered about between the three consoles has been exhausted, so now its all just rehashes with different variables. The thing that is lacking is sales fights, as that one has been played out for so long, that there is no real reason to rehash it, at all.
[QUOTE=''earthmonkeyyy'']Yes. Because the Wii has won the war already.[/QUOTE] No it has not won anything, I think a lot of people are forgetting that a system wins the war by the games they present. That has already been decided by a big poll that was done last year.
I would rather break out my old SNES collection, than play a Wii. OH How the mighty Ninkiddy have fallen.

it's mostly what the forum is about, but it's meant for all systems i think.
are sales really what matter, i mean do any of us have a claim. The wii is for kids and old people trying to be cool. if you wanna play real games get a ps3 or a 360.

you'd think that hardware sales and software sales would be the ONLY thing that would count, yet.. all of us enlightened gamers on this forum would rather swear by some guy we hardly ever agree with (Reviews) After all, isn't what games and systems were actually PLAYING mean more then what GS believes is or isn't a good game? Not even what YOU think of it, but what GS thinks of it...sounds kinda stupid when you really think about it huh?

Yes this is a legit PC Gaming complaint ...

Yes this is a legit PC complaint. Not another misconeption thread lol but a legit PC gaming complaint. You really can't argue with the fact that the PC has these three genre's on lock

1. MMORPG
2. RTS
3. FPS

Not to mention that it has tons of games both AAE and AAAE. Hell we all know that it has the most quality games out there. But at the end of the day it still has one glaring weakness to me.I need to play Fighters and I need to play JRPGs. The PC just doensn't have an abundance of either of them nor does it really ever get high profile releases of either in this genre. Yes there is Guilty Gear for PC but I can't play Tekken, Soul Calibur, Shin Megami Tensei ect on a PC.So while the PC remains strong on most fronts it does it does have two weak points in my view. Yes two isn't alot but they are two reasons that do warrent a purchase of at least one console in my book. Well okay its not a weakness which leads to the utter destruction of PC gaming lol (come on guys work with me here :P ) But no matter how good PC gaming is it just doesn't cut it when it comes to JRPG's and Fighters. For that I need my console. Preference aside the PC doesn't offer much in these two genre's and although it is an immensly strong platform I don't see how anyone can argue against the point that PC isn't weak in these two genres.

Other genres that PC doesn't do particularly well:

Who else is getting Okami for wii?

It sold very poorly on the ps2. Capcom has shown us alot of love and I think everyone who likes zelda should pick this game up. I am. I doubt very many have played it but this game looks like the sleeper hit so far for the wii and maybe for the year.Who else is getting Okami for wii?
i might get itWho else is getting Okami for wii?
i am :Dalthough i think that most on this board may have bought the game on ps2 if they liked the genre.

i will get it when it finally arrives in europe.i did not have the chance to play it so iam really excited about this game.the wii remote will simply make it even better.i can not wait to play it..
Probably, I already have the PS2 original and beat it twice. If there's enough of a significant change in the Wii title, it could be in my library.I hope it sells well though, Clover Studios was really good before Capcom shut it down.
Okami didnt sell that bad. By the end of april 2007 it had sold 300.000 copies
I probably will due the fact I have yet to play it beyond demos.
[QUOTE=''kaangonultas'']Okami didnt sell that bad. By the end of april 2007 it had sold 300.000 copies[/QUOTE] Yeah but for a PS2 that was that good, IGN's GOTY those sales figures are bad considering how good it was.

PSN STORE gets revamped

from Gamespot:Sony Computer Entertainments Europe and America have made official a redesign of the PlayStation Network's PlayStation Store. The new-look site will go live in approximately two weeks. Unfortunately, though work is underway on the new-and-improved store experience, the old one won't be receiving its traditional weekly update. There will be no more weekly content updates before the relaunch of the new store in mid-April (from today in Europe, from April 3 in North America), although games and content that have already been uploaded--including Gran Turismo 5 Prologue in Europe--will continue to be available. Presumably, the new store will be up and running in time for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue's scheduled US release date of April 17. The revamp of the PlayStation Store comes after the results of an SCEE customer survey last year in which users criticised the navigation and interface. Both will be getting an overhaul, along with ''more scope for categorisation,'' and a new design. Once the store reopens for business proper, gamers will be prompted to download a new firmware update to their PlayStation 3 systems that will enable them to access the new PlayStation Store. PSN STORE gets revamped
The screenshots for it look really cool, they have them posted over on the ps3 forums,
I'm glad that if nothing else, sony continues to listen to their customers *this* gen,
I mean, they are providing a free game (The Agency), a new store interface, rumble, etc,
and they ditched that horrible boomerang controller, all by popular demand.

DMC has a big fanbase. Some of those fans review games.How DMC4 got an 8 here and an 8.4 averag ...
It might have the same gameplay, but people still like it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
the cutscenes/dialogue is always like that in every DMC. But i'll admit, i didnt enjoy DMC4 as much as i thought i would.
I completely agree, A would seem a more reasonable score.

I largely agree. The game was fine, it wasnt bad or anything, but combat can still be resolved simply button mashing, and the last half of the game was just the first half backwards. The boss battles were GORGOUS though (the fire demon was amazing to look at).
Sorry to hear you didn't like it but I personally would be disappointed if the took out the cheesy dialog and over the top cutscenes, or tried to mess with the combat too much. but I can see where your coming from.
The cheesiness is part of the appeal. It wouldn't be a DMC game without it.

It's not as challenging as Devil May Cry 3. I think it deserved a 7.5. 6.0 is a bit harsh. The backtracking was huge letdown, but the combat was violent and fun as usual.

I think the score was spot on.
It felt like I was playing a PS1 game with upgraded graphics and sound. Everything about the gameplay just felt tired and rehashed.

DMC4 is my first step into the series and i love it. I've clocked up over 120 hours on it, attempting to beat the bloody palace now without super characters, managed to reach Dante twice and both times died.The story is amusing, it's not very good but the diolog i thought was good, witty/cheesey/funny/lame/ it was well done and most importantly it was delibrate. The backtrakcing is lame and i would hope it's not something seen in all the series but all of that can be forgotten because the combat is what makes the game. I can't explain it to well it's just..the ability to go trickster, teleport across a room, appear above them, do a flying kick into them and then pull out my sword, flip them in the air and keep them floating with my guns that i find incredibly awesome and i just love playing about with the combat,trying new things, pulling off some cool stuff that's what keeps me coming back.

Online Multiplayer Misconceptions

I have regularly visited and read the forums, and would like to raise a few points that I do not see ever represented.Xbox Live Fee- I own a 360 and have been paying for live for 2 or 3 years and I agree that Peer 2 Peer on-line is not the most optimal nor should it be considered as viable as it is forever. However the advantages it brings to console gaming cannot be dismissed either. You will always be able to connect an xbox live p2p enabled game even 10 years later provided you have someone to play against.:) This is a huge advantage over PSN where a game's on-line portion can be discontinued at any time.PC and PSN games are free- Yes to you, the end user it may appear that everything about these forms of on-line play are free, however you must take into consideration the enormous costs associated with running a dedicated server. At the very least provided you already have the server hardware, the bandwidth required to run an open server to the public is expensive. This is why PSN games are discontinued. PC gamers are very lucky as there are many enthusiasts that have the means to offer free servers to the public, and for this we should all be very thank-full.Online Multiplayer Misconceptions
theres only 3 games on ps3 that actually have dedicated servers...btw i dont think it will be bad to have both dedicated servers and p2p

genre on the downslope.

what do you think is a gametype that is failing to impress this gen? i think racing games are on the decline. burnout paradise is probably the best but i honestly think its more of an action game. games like formula one and forza are great but hardcore sim racers seem like a niche game now. rally games have always been that way. its a love hate thing. if i had to pick the best strait up racer? i couldnt tell you. maybe carbon? dont know. what do you all think? how about wipeout HD or mario kart?genre on the downslope.
well... you really cant improve the racing genre beyong a certain point, the same goes for sport games, i mean they are supposed to mimick real life, we will eventually reach a point where the only diference between games are cars, tracks in racing games and an update in the player roster in sports gamesgenre on the downslope.

The Adventure genre is dying
JRPGS and Adventure titles IMO. You hardly see any new adventures announced any more besides Heavy Rain (PS3) and the DS titles. As for JRPGS they seem to be going downhill with the exception of a few titles like P3, Valkyrie Profile 2, Final Fantasy XII (Yes I said FFXII) and few other titles that don't come to mind at the moment.

Platformers, JRPGs, and Adventure games.

Up until this year the Fighting Genre was nearly extinct. Luckily there's going to be a resurgence of all these genres this year. :)

Gaming in general......

I honestly believe the game of the year ...

There are some very good games coming out this year. Metal Gear Solid 4, Mario Kart wii, even black sheep like Too Human may be surprising.I don't believe any game this year and maybe even no this generation is gonna touch GTA 4. This game just looks amazing.I honestly believe the game of the year ...
If it's GTA4 you're talking about then signs point to yes. But yuo never know. This year will be an AMAZING year for game. Even better than last year.2008 could be almost as good or as impressive as 1998 was IMO. We will see.I honestly believe the game of the year ...
With Spore coming in September and StarCraft II being likely 2008, no, no it won't be.
I can only think of 3 games the challenge GTA4 for GOTY. MGS4, Gears of War 2 (maybe) %26 Killzone 2 (if it ever releases)
Hell yeah, GTA4 GOTY 2008.
[QUOTE=''NathanDrake'']I can only think of 3 games the challenge GTA4 for GOTY. MGS4, Gears of War 2 (maybe) %26 Killzone 2 (if it ever releases)[/QUOTE]roflawaffles.....anyways yeah i agree it will be GTA
I would put my money on spore. Will Wright is a goty maker.
Releasing a game the same year as Spore is not the way to win Game of the Year.
Spore or Starcraft 2. GTA stands a chance, but its not gonna win.
GTAIV won't be GOTY, it'll be heavily overrated I'm sure, but, you know, such is life.
I dont think it will come close, I mean lets face it what is going to be really different about this GTA compared to the others? Its going to be the same thing over and over again, not saying that I will not purchase it or not have fun. Lets face it how many times can you do the same missions that consist of stealing cars, killing someone throughout the entire game but the only difference is that the people you are killing have different names, and the cars you steal are a tad bit different? I just think the only difference is that it is going to have better graphics.
Alan Wake, Banjo Threeie, Resident Evil 5. If they come out this year of course.
It has a shot, but i'll probably be a long one at best. For me, it probably will be my favorite GOTY. But there are other great games coming out this year as people have mentioned. I am excited for Starcraft 2 as well.
I see the GOTY contenders as being:MGSIV
GTAIV
GeOW2
Spore
Starcraft II
SSBB
LittleBigPlanet
and maybe a couple others.Personally, my money is on Spore or Starcraft II. Will Wright and Blizzard both seem incapable of making a game that is NOT a GOTY contender.
I don't know. This game doesn't appear to be of interest to me. I think that it's due to the fact that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas impetuously became monotonous. However, I could be wrong.
This year's GotY is going to be on the PC. The only other possibility is the Wii. Brawl or some magical Christmas release for that 'secret title'

Smash Bros BrawlMario KartWii-fitSporeAnd maybe a un anounced game by Nintendo. I hope for a new Pikmin.
GTA IV, MGS4, Spore, Starcraft II, Gears 2 (ugh), and Brawl will all be contenders I think.
Yeah probably. I mean there's some big games coming to PS3 this year but GTA is always huge. Probably going to be my Goty anyways.

You know what? That's a really good question.Japanese culture is very important to Japan, and many times (but not always, as is the case with things like the Ipod) japanese products will do better. Owning a Japanese studio would be good to try an d get japanese consumers.

Wii VS PSP graphics comparison. (LINK)

I asked myself what had better graphics, wii or PSP, and I went on google and found this....http://kotaku.com/gaming/wii/which-has-better-graphics-wii-or-psp-246119.phpWii VS PSP graphics comparison. (LINK)
Lets compare Mario Galaxy to God of war well we're at it.Wii VS PSP graphics comparison. (LINK)
Wii is odviously better.. I own both systems and love them both.. But with games like Smash Brothers, Twilight princess and Mario Galaxy, it looks better.
The Wii is a complete joke graphically but it's obviously better than the PSP, your comparison blows.
This was proven a fail from the forum you pulled it from. 1. the same screen shot from IGN looks far worse than the one posted there. 2. Most people see that the Wii shot looks better. 3. The only way a game can look better on the PSP is if the Devs fail because of the Hardware specs. Yes the Wii is weak but not that weak.
the screen shot does not do games like super mario galaxy justice
That's Alien Syndrome, right? That was a game ported to the PSP and Wii from a PS2 build. Same graphics and all.
Fanboy_Slay3rbad name..
COmpuer obviously has the worst graphics.. Since it can do games such as solitaire.. Nothing on consoles are worse then that graphicly.
[QUOTE=''numba1234'']Fanboy_Slay3rbad name.. [/QUOTE]I was thinking the exact same thing.1 game = every single game on a platform.

This thread was pointless. It's obvious the Wii is better. The PSP is a little weaker then the PS2, and the Wii is a good 3 times more powerful then a PS2 so which one produces better graphics? How about you compare Metrod Prime 3 to a shooter on the PSP? How about Super Mario Galaxy to Rachet and Clank? Are you trying to prove with one game (a port of an OLD game) that the PSP can provide graphics just as good as the Wii? :roll:

Yep, and I hear that if you preorder at Gamestop/EB, you will get a pair of these exclusive limited edition pants as worn here by Steven Tyler himself.:P Seriously though, lol, Aerosmith has some cool songs and all, but I think that Guitar Hero should stick with having tracks from various artists, so that the game will not lose it's appeal so quickly. Very bad idea in my opinion.

Metallica anyone?
This is Activision seeing how much it can milk a franchise, so I'm not buying into this at all. Ironically i'd buy GH:Queen though xD

last gen I gamed more on xbox than the others, this gen it's 360 for me. But honestly I like them all, I just can't stand sony fanboysManticores which of your consoles you pl ...
This gen the 360, although I've been playing on my wii a lot more recently.
last gen ps2this gen 360
Xbox 360 > PS3 (Mostly Blu-Ray so far, but don't flame, as I have enjoyed quite a few good PS3 games as well) > Wii in terms of my play time.Simple reason, more of my IRL friends have 360s and Live, and I enjoy playing CoD4 and Halo 3 with them. Also, I personally prefer the 360s lineup ATM, but I see more PS3 titles creeping in soon, especially when I get enough spare cash to get Hot Shots Out of Bounds. The Wii and PS3 titles I have just have not had the same pull as the 360 games I have, although I was addicted to Ratchet and SMG for quite a while there.
ps3 by far, my wii is over at my grandmas since my 7yr old cousin gets more fun out of it than i do, and my 360 is... just, there.
The PC gets more of my time then the PS2 then the Wii followed by the PS3 and the 360. Funny thing though, it's that it was in reverse just 6 months ago.
my 360 gets the most play time out of them all. Last generation it was my ps2 but i did play my xbox a decent amount too.
It depends on what is out. I do not own a PS3, though I want one once MGS4 comes out along with the Esentials. Right now it's Wii > PC > PS2 > 360Wii = Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, The Lenged of Zelda: TP, Trauma Center: New Blood, No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki, Resident Evil 4, Super Paper MarioPC = Fable: The Lost Chapters (for when Fable 2 comes out), The Orange Box, Crysis, Bioshock, FEAR, Age of Empires 3PS2 = all the games I missed360 = Mass Effect, Halo 3, Assasins Creed (now sold), Call of Duty 4, Kameo (now sold), Dead or Alive 4 (now sold), and I think i'm missing something.... hm... oh well.
right now? i dunno really, not playing anything right now.
XBOX 360
360, mainly because of achievement led purchases of multiplats. Also i have a more robust XBL friends list, and tend to favor MP heavy games on 360 because of the lack of headset users on PSN. I still did manage to play through Uncharted and Heavenly Sword recentely, and have spent a hefty amount of time MLB 08, and SSBB.LO, RSV2, and rock Band probably spend the most time on my tv though.
PC.

I play the 360 mostly because it has the games I want to play at the moment. Plus, the multiplats just come down to controller preference, I prefer the 360 controller.
my PC takes up most of my gaming time (sins eats lives...LIVES!!!!!).then the wii (still playing galaxy and just got no more heros which is a kewl game).then the PS3...playing alot of PS2 games on it at the mo.lastly the 360...im planning to get lost oddessy for it but at the mo its collecting dust...has been since i finished ME.
PC most always.On consoles last gen PS2 and Xbox got about equal play for GTA and HaloCE. This gen 360 and PS3 are about equal play time. Both have been complete garbage imo so far. And guess which one has all its major exclusives out? Aside from SMG and now an occasional round of Smash my Wii gets zero play. Such a pathetic overpriced joke of a system.
PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, 360.
Last gen : PS2 easilyThis gen : PC ftw ( yet )
