Thanks for the impressions Leadfoot. Anyone else dl it?

Thanks for the heads up on Everyday Shooter - I'm really enjoying it. Like Scoop said it's Rez meets Geometry Wars.

Did anyone pick up High Velocity Bowling yesterday? I'd love to hear some impressions.

Guilty. The game itself is pretty good. The control scheme takes some getting used to, but after a game or two it's pretty much second nature. I can see some broken TVs as a result of sailing controllers...

Would love to hear impressions guys.

Also, would love to hear impressions on Drake's Fortune.

Great download day for the PS3 gamers.

Dan,

I'll be expecting your PSN news and updates now that you're back on the PS3 team.

You can count on it Javi.

A fairly brief GTHD Prologue review. A fine score indeed. When does this demo/game arrive?

I hate to pull a JRod but i'm not impressed with that review, why? No mention of AI behavior. It's the same ol same ol, pretty cars, pretty graphics and no mention of how the AI races in the game which has always been it's weak point.

Famitsu = Gamespot of Japan

Seriously, they've been losing a lot of credibility over the years. Hell I think they gave WE/PES 2008 9s across the board - this is a game that was BROKEN. I think they're too polite to give a game a bad score.

For me, after playing the prologue demo (from Japan) it's the same old same old with a bigger field and nice car interiors. Unless a lot's changed from the demo, I'd rather play Forza or PGR.

Agreed, Famitsu is horrible.

So, at this point, it's safe to say barring any online lag, this might be a better online game than offline. I do like the inclusion of car damage at least.

It may be the prettiest.

That might count for something.

I've read from those who have seen or played it, it looks no better than Project Gotham 4. If they fixed the AI then i'll buy GT5 but not the prequel. The series has been passed up by Forza. Hopefully they can fix the issues with this game before GT5.

It looks like they have addressed cockpit view, damage, online mode, and more than 6 cars on the track at once. In order for the game to be considered a racing game it will need a very good racing AI. If they can improve the AI then it should be a very solid title. If not i'll still consider it just a pretty driving game with pretty cars.

Other games have already had better techicals -- more AA, more filtering, more polygons, etc.

But Polyphony has some secret formula, which for the lack of a better term could be attributed to style or art direction.

Prologue is suppose to have a London track. I guess that could be compared against the PGR games.

Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a Burnout Paradise demo tomorrow? I thought I read that there would be.

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 5:02 pm

I think the Burnout demo is slated for tomorrow on XBL. I haven't heard when it will show up on PSN.

The Burnout demo is a blast to play. I love the braking and turning in the game. Glad to see they got rid of or at least let you turn off the checking.

A definite purchase for me.

No doubt. I skipped the last Burnout installment. But I really ejoyed the demo.

Plus for me, Burnout was one of the most fun games to play online against my buddies.

Any ideas where GT 5 Prologue can be played in NA? I know most discs are region free but my buddy was telling me that in the back of the case it says 'For Japan use only'.

Just a heads up that there is a demo for The Club on the European PSN Store and a demo for PES2008 on the Japanese PSN Store. The PES demo has probably been there for a while but The Club demo just hit a couple of days ago. All you need to get these demos is a Japanese PSN account and a UK one.

For those that enjoyed Super Stardust HD:

http://www.ripten.com/2007/12/13/super- ... n-support/

Apparently, there will be a update for the game that enables split-screen cooperative mode and clan support.

It's available in the UK PSN Store but can't download it yet.

Looks like a cool update for a very good game.

sportdan30 · Post by **sportdan30** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 2:23 pm

I can't wait for Wipeout HD in 1080P running at 60fps. This will be damn near one of the best downloadable arcade racers. The newest screens look gorgeous! There's just no release date yet

NFL Tour demo is up. Unfortunately I'm going to bed and the PS3 doesn't let you turn it off and continue to download like the 360 yet. I'll download it tomorrow after work though.

Downloaded this demo last night and yikes... I was expecting something much better looking, and much better playing. Won't be picking this one up like I thought I would.

The graphics were not very next-gen looking, the announcer was irritatingly bad, and the control/gameplay was anything but smooth. Lot's of clipping issues too. If you are going to put sideline barriers in the game, then spend the time to make the player models interact with them correctly.
