Hey guys, i just bought this. I haven't really followed this game too closely until now. Quick questions:
1. Is there any kind of online coop/versus?
2. Was the 4.00 patch pulled when they pulled the 2.4 patch?

Hmm, curious. I just bought it a few minutes ago and it is version 3.0 and i can't get it to update. I even tried redownloading it. They don't even have the multiplayer addon in the store any more. I am guessing 4.0 was pulled.

That would make the game so much better in my opinion if there were. There is however offline coop. There is also a multiplayer expansion pack comming soon (i think it was released when the PS3 2.40 firmware was out, but then pulled back when the 2.40 firmware was pulled back as well) that will add split-screen coop and maybe some versus mode (i'm not 100% sure about this one). This expansion pak is also for offline play, it doesnt have online play unfortunately :\ Hopefully it will come though 2. It seems like it. Hopefully the 4.00 patch will be up and running soon
No sound at all? Do you use a reciever with the PS3/TV?macewank said:

My amplifier tells me it uses DTS so maybe that's the problem? (not likely)
Awesome game, but suffers from Lumines syndrome. Score shmups should be challenging from the start and not force you to play through all the levels and then start seriously playing. Damn shame.

Yes, it would be a blast. But honestly, I don't think we will ever see it. P2P online, as shown by Calling all Cars for instance, relies on users connections and distance between them. And I don't see Housemarque (or Sony) put dedicated servers up for a PSN game that sold ~100k copies. This game is NOT lag friendly at all. Even the smallest amount of occasionnal lag would completely kill the game.

I talked about this with Housemarque when I was at their studio a while back and online is not going to happen and for the exact reasons you state...it's not got a market for it considering the amount of effort it would take to make online happen and it's the kind of game where the tinies amount of lag fucks thing sup so...not possible.
The next game however (not golf)...

I thought so because I've been slaving to match some of my friends trophies(got it last night)and i swear i'm doing the same crap but i'm not getting them...oh well it's still a kick ass game, and i hated geometry wars. At least the game supports custom soundtracks which makes it so much better, especially with the great ps3 audio.
---they need to put the trophies back in dammit i'm getting left behind by some other buds.

Try and wait for 2 cargo ships to meet each other so you can gain 3 bombs in one bomb blast, another one is those red spikey mine things try and lure them near the cargo ship and when they meet an asteroid and blow up they blow up the ship without you using any bombs at all.
The nukes pop up every so often, you have to go round looking for them, they usually pop up when a alot of enemies appear.

Ye, i doubt we will see online play in SSDHD either, mostly due to potential lag issues as you mentioned. Its not a lag friendly game as you said. Its a pity though, i really want online play on this gameRaist said:
Ah ok. I think SSDHD has some DTS sound support (correct me if i'm wrong though), so i thought maybe the DTS sound was on in the game and that it was a possibility that you had connected your PS3/TV through a receiver that didnt support DTS sound, but if you had sound before and suddently it didnt work, then i have no idea what the problem can be, sorry :\ Hopefully its just some settings you need to change to get the sound back, i hope you get the sound to work againmacewank said:
Two questions:
1: Is there anything other than dumb luck that determines what type of item you'll get from the bonus item asteroids?
2: The boss on the first planet, Lave - I've noticed that sometimes he'll start off with 3/4 to 1/2 of his normal lifebar. Is there something I'm doing differently at those times that causes this? Is this trick (whatever it is) also relevant for the other bosses?

The survive 7 mins is pretty easy. After you shoot the first nuke down, the next wave of stuff comes at you. Here you want the wave that spawns those small red homing things, and a spiral wall. Now you just have you to fly around the planet for 7 min without shooting down all the red homing enemies. The next spawn wave will first show up when all the red homing enemies are dead.x2y said:

You can check if you have version 4.00 by clicking on the triangle button while you have Super Stardust HD selected (do not start the game). Then you get up a menu where you can choose to delete the game etc. Choose "information" (or something like that) from this menu. Then you will get different information about the game. On this list you will see which version of the game you have installed. Maybe you already know this, but i'm just mentioning it anywayChrisGoldstein said:
Hopefully they will put the patch of version 4.00 back up soon Do you have PS3 firmware 2.40 by the way? I think you need this as well to be able to get trophies in Super Stardust HD, not just the patch of version 4.00. I guess you have PS3 firmware 2.40 installed though, but i'm just mentioning it anyway
1. Not that i've know of atleast. I've been playing Super Stardust HD including the Solo expansion pak for a total of maybe 150 hours and i havnt seen any "system" (or what i shall say) that shows you what items the bonus asteroids contains. Well, the only thing i know is that if you first start to play at planet Lave (maybe it goes for other planets too if you first start to play at them, i dont think so, but i havnt really thought that much about it) some of the first bonus astroids will contain weapons, shield or extra life. I'm also under the impression that the more of these first astroids on planet Lave that you shoot in a quicker amount of time the more weapons etc. item you will get, but i'm not sure if that is just something i "feel" (or what i shall say) or if it that is actually how the game is.shidoshi said:
2. I havnt payed attention to this either, but is it if you play the same mode? Maybe the boss has less life if you play it on i.e Arcade with the easy difficulty level instead of on Arcade with the normal difficulty level? I dont know, sorry :\

I'm using Smash Brothers Brawl as the custom soundtrack to this:
I use all of Metroid/Fox/Falcon's music ...works really really really well.
ugh can't get the multiplier trophy!

I can't get the 45 seconds achievement to work (45 seconds in survival mode w/o shooting or using bombs) even though I've gotten 50+; maybe you can't boost either? Weird. Also when I click on my name the achievements don't show up even though it says I have them in the game. Strange.
