I was just talking a look at that PS3 Eye "Interactive Art" thing Aquatopia I think its called. I know it was on there last week but the description of it sounds pretty cool.

Anyone get this? How is it?

A friend has it, it pretty cool as an interactive screen saver. It's like a fish tank you can see your shadow fall on it & your motion interacts with it. You can splash the water & the fish will interact scurrying away. Very cool! I'd get it but I don't have the "Eye" yet.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

the face buttons DO shoot.

awesome. I never tried because the little on-screen things said to use the stick. Thanks!

 

[Nightz]

did they ever reduce the price of the 1st Resistance map pack? $8 for 2 maps was a joke

You can buy the old map pack plus the one released today for $8.

 

[kuYuri]

I'm really digging the new Resistance wallpapers.

 

[keyrat]

so Pain? Should I buy or should I wait? How's it play? How's the multi?

 

[dallow_bg]

awesome. I never tried because the little on-screen things said to use the stick. Thanks!

Read the credits.

The game's maker uses the face buttons and d-pad to move and shoot.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

read? for instructions? you're crazy!

 

[TheJollyCorner]

so is Shivering Isles worth the $30 if you love Oblivion?

goddamnit I'm so tempted... but I don't want to see it at $19.99 in two weeks.


also, we need some PAIN impressions~

 

[GeoramA]

Downloading Pain right now, it's at 45%...I'm excited!

And about Shivering Isles, is it worth $30 if you've already 100 percented Oblivion? How many more hours does it add?

 

[I3rand0]

Ugh no pain demo, lame.

 

[BobJustBob]

Pain is downloading now. Finally got to use the new "buy now" option and, wow, huge improvement. I like.

Edit: Fast download. Up to 90% in about ten minutes.

 

[R-User!]

sorry, but I was pissed.....

false advertising ftl.

 

[Dante]

crying

You really didn't need to post that on this page also. Fact is they've been up there for some time it's your fault you waited too long. Also how could you have just gotten the money? You put it on your card, wouldn't the bill come at the same time if you had ordered last week?

 

[WasabiKing]

You don't need to post it twice

 

[kuYuri]

You really didn't need to post that on this page also.

.

Tanod, to clarify, the Boss Battle pack is free for GHIII and there's no Timeshift MP demo.

 

[Evazan]

Gee i'm sorry. They told you its until Nov 29th. Should have got it last night?

 

[mauaus]

We read it the first time, just didnt care...

No MP demo?
Sucks. My friend likes it for some reason and wanted to play me in it.

 

[keyrat]

So now that I'm here in this thread, does anyone know what that PS2 System file does in the PSN? I have a launch 60gb ps3 so it already plays the games fine. What is this file for?

It's needed for games that use the HDD from the PS2, which mostly includes FFXI. Unless you play this game, you don't need it.

There is a disc version I've seen in stores, also for $30, I'd wager some used copies will turn up of it.

for the record, none of the optional software that works in the PS2 HDD works with this.

I'm kinda mad they're nickel and diming everyone on Motorstorm, when the game was touted as lacking content for a full-priced game when it came out

Yeah, I feel the same way.

I love MotorStorm, and had considered getting the first download pack when it came out (though I never actually got around to it). Then they came out with a second one a few weeks ago. Now they have a third one, and the naming convention kind of implies there are still more to come. What gives?

I'm rapidly losing enthusiasm about the whole "downloadable content" business now. I don't mind the concept of releasing a download pack a few months after release, in order to boost interest in the game (and possibly attract new buyers to the game). But why are we seeing games with three, four, or more purchasable add-on packs? I feel like these already pricey $60 games are turning into $70-$80 games.

Instead of releasing several small download packs, developers need to beef up and consolidate the content to make it a better value. They should release something substantial, even if it means the price has to be slightly higher. As it is now, most of these packs are too much money for not enough content.

I don't know whether to download any mini-packs because I always figure a different, possibly better mini-pack might come along in a week or two...or maybe it'll be out four months from now. I'd love it if developers just said, "This is our one and only content pack" and bring a sense of closure on the whole project.

 

[WasabiKing]

Well I've said it before, DLC feels like paying for features that didn't fit into the final game by deadline.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Looks like a nabbed ES just before the discount expired :lol

 

[The Chef]

its seriously crap. dont waste your money. infact with the exception of EOJ all the eye games have crap. i'm not really that bothered about buying them since they're very cheap, but you've been warned

Oh damn! Dude thanks for the input. I was seriously considering getting an Eye for it.

A friend has it, it pretty cool as an interactive screen saver. It's like a fish tank you can see your shadow fall on it & your motion interacts with it. You can splash the water & the fish will interact scurrying away. Very cool! I'd get it but I don't have the "Eye" yet.

It sounds really cool. I guess I can always check it out for $2 if i ever get an Eye

 

[Sykra]

Pain owns, its really funny, cant tell if it will be fun for long, too soon still. It has a trophy room too, i wonder if it will be implemented in home 1 day.

 

[Lindsay]

Nothing for me this week -_-

 

[Mister D]

Damn, I am really tempted to get the Oblivion DLC. I just completed the main quest after about 110 hours and I still have the Fighter's Guild, Mage's Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Knights of the Nine stuff to still play through. Plus I still need to get Mass Effect and Uncharted.

 

[Firewire]

It sounds really cool. I guess I can always check it out for $2 if i ever get an Eye

Yeah if you happen to get an "Eye" you can pretty well pick it up with left over change in your account.

 

[Maggot9]

Holy crap, what a good update. I'll try my best to hold out on buying stuff from the store until I 100% complete Ratchet and Uncharted.

Reallly want Shivering Isles, though. Oblivion is my GOTY.

 

[Belfast]

Pain is...um, pretty painful to pay for so far. :\

 

[Nightz]

Pain is surprisingly addictive. At first I thought that I had wasted my money, but the game has grown on me. I've only done a few single player games, and I'll be trying out the multiplayer with my brother later. I'll post more impressions tonight.

 

[dallow_bg]

So where did this Timeshift MP demo untruth come from?

 

[Firewire]

Pain is...um, pretty painful to pay for so far. :\

Friend just called and told me to download Pain, he said it was awesome! I'm confused now!

 

[llTll]

speaking of which. i cant connect to the playstation network. is anyone else having problems ?

 

[Sykra]

Pain singleplayer is getting boring but playing headtohead horse game now and its just so much better.
EDIT: I have at first thought i wasted 10$ as well but it grows on you as soon as u realize how to do cool stuff

 

[GeoramA]

Just finished the Pain tutorial. This game's friggin hilarious.

 

[Dante]

Hrmmm people here seemed mixed on Pain here, keep em coming

 

[anddo0]

Friend just called and told me to download Pain, he said it was awesome! I'm confused now!

Its worth it dude.. I just finished the tutorial and theres a whole bunch to learn.

I couldn't stop laughing.. I did a superman into a building and fell eight stories landing on my family jewels:lol

PAIN! is good fun, and it can get additive trying to top your scores.. It also has a bunch (pages worth) of trophies to unlock.

The replay system is sweet as well; too bad you can save them, at least I don't see an option to.

 

[Belfast]

Pain is pretty obnoxious so far and what's even more disconcerting is how obvious it's set up for microrapements. Given that, this might've been worth a reduced initial price, but at $10, it's wanting for content.

 

[tanod]

I was never really interested in Pain, but just now I searched a YouTube video, and I have to say: it looks so fun!

Is there any other way to transfer funds into your PSN account, other than creditcard? This game looks amazing, and I must have it. NOW.

Debit card or pre-paid visa gift card will do it.

 

[chubigans]

PAIN bowling is the most fun I've had with two players in any PSN game so far. Havent tried single yet, but it's awesome multi.

I'll do it, should be good for some drunken laughs!

Yea, just played it, hit the 2nd player with cookies, it was hilarious

 

[chubigans]

Yeah, I was going for a win before my friend ignited the crane...it fell right on top of me and I couldnt move at all. :lol

 

[tanod]

Forget that! Maybe at $19.99 or something, but I'm not paying $30 for the DLC.

Oblivion's current price is $30 on PS3 and 360. Expansion is $30 on PS3 and 360.

GOTY edition is $60.

If you want it, $30 is what you're going to have to pay. It is rather sizeable.

 

[$h@d0w]

Does Resistance DLC work with the Asian version of the game?

I've kinda lost interest in Oblivion, its just to many hours! Then to pay $30 for an expansion I'll probably never finish, is just a waste. I was actually thinking of trading in Oblivion.

 

[tanod]

Three questions on PAIN:

Is there any skill (depth) to it?
Does the online MP have voice chat?
Is the MP simultaneous or do you take turns?
