Sony fans were excited when it was announced at this year's TGS that rumble would finally return to the PlayStation 3 in the form of the new DualShock 3. The controller, would feature the functionality of the Sixaxis controller along with the vibration that PS2 owners had become accustomed to. Unfortunately, unless gamers imported the new controllers, those outside of Japan would have to wait till 2008 to test out just how well the redesign worked.
Fortunately, IGN managed to get some DualShock 3 controllers fresh from Japan, and they put them through their paces.
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."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
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).
I think it was a big mistake not launching with rumble in the controller, I for one know I missed it in Fight Night Round 3 which was an amazing game for playing friends, (it even looked better on PS3, one of the few games that would) not too good online but would have been even better with rumble. -Sony really missed a great chance to show of the system right there. Game sucked without rumble.
Too bad we don't even play that game anymore.
Does anyone else find the white controller ugly? I think it would look so much cooler if they gave it white analogue sticks and white buttons. the Black buttons and sticks stand out too much and make it look tacky.
I got me a Black rumble controller already and it's nice. It does make Uncharted worth so much more. Also, Motorstorm... WOW! This game needs to be reviewed again. Rumble adds a whole new element to the game. It was lacking this feature so bad... Trust me... You'll pop in Motorstorm again and again when you get your hands on the rumble controllers, folks. It's all go from here. I love mine... the bat, believe it or not... last longer than the sixaxis. Maybe that was from extended use of it, but I dunno... It's lasted me a full week and it has 2 bars left still. I gamed over 20 hours this week with Uncharted, R&C and Assassins Creed too... not to mention Motorstorm, Resistance sessions, with some COD4 in there aswell.
Have you tried using both rumble AND motion sensing? if so does it work OK?
i remember sony fanboys saying "oh, rumble? man that's old technology" but it looks like they've always been missing the vibe:) not starting wars here, but you do have to admit that besides the woofer, this is the way games were meant to be played.
