GeekyGadgets: We have seen quite a few of Ben Hecks amazing laptops before on Geeky Gadgets, the latest one is this cool PS3 Slim Laptop.
The PS3 Slim Laptop features a 17 inch Gateway 1775W screen with a 1280 x 720 resolution, it features a front loading Blu-ray drive, and a funky fan grill on the front which looks like an Iron Man Arc reactor.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
No integrated keyboard (would be so easy to add a slim blutooth keyboard to the design...), and even if there's tons of ventilation, I would worry a lot about accidentaly pressing the PS button on a DualShock and turning the laptop on, while the cover is closed... (Unless Ben has added a safety switch preventing the thing to turn on if the cover is down?). If you don't hear the beep (loud music in the room anybody?), then this is likely a path to disaster. Main ventilation is after all on the top while the cover is open. Yes, I know the Slim run rather cool, but I would not take a chance : )
So Ben, for the first time, I'm not too keen on your design... Look like the easy way out. (Color are a little bit blend too ; )
P.S.: On the other side, this shows that removing other O.S. was a mistake... How cool would it be to bring this thing with you (with an integrated keyboard), turn it on, run Linux for a while (so people think you're simply running an old thick laptop), and then, after a while, start playing PS3 games on it!
That is fücking cool!
I always thought that something between a console and a handheld would be ideal.
Awesome mod! I want one...
This ain't no PS3 laptop this is more like a PS3 Portable 'cause I see no built-in keyboard there like the first ps3 laptop.
Anyway, who would wanna play in a 17 inch screen with a 42 inch (and plus) screen!?
Useless! Money thrown away and precious time spent.
Well think of it as a good prototype to develop from further.
I can certainly see the advantages of having something like that after it had been developed further.
A laptop is handy for travel, work, and various other instances that require mobility. So with some work done and some more thought poured into the idea, I would definately like the option of being able to take a device with me that I can use as a; Laptop, PS3, Blu-ray and DVD player.
It would help if the PS3 had a better internet browser, and like one of the commenters above said, with the now removed Linux support the idea would be alot more viable.
Maybe something that we will see done properly in the future.
