StandingInAlley Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hey Guys! I am looking to pick a PS3 by the end of this month right after i finish with my exams. I plan to pick a 40gig model and i need some suggestions. 1) I love fps games so which one should i pick ? I have heard Resistance is not that good. I plan to pre-order Haze when it releases in May 08 but for now i need a good exclusive fps game for the PS3. I have played almost all the fps titles on X360. 2) The Eye of Judgment I am getting a very good deal on this one where the PS3 Eye plus other packs is also loaded with it. I saw a video review of it on Gamespot and was really impressed by it. Have any of you guys tried this game before and is it worth investing in it ? 3) Uncharted Drake I have heard this is one of the best games of PS3. My simple yet n00bish question about it is does it look like Stranglehold or has the same feeling or same game experience ? I saw some pics and it looked kinda like it. I didn't like Stranglehold at all to be honest and was not at all impressed by the graphics. 4) Bluray Bluetooth Remote Do any of you guys own this and what features does it add over the use of controller ? I had one of those MCE remotes for X360 and it was useless since i hardly used it. 5) HDMI-DVI Cable I will be needing this cable as i plan to connect this to my LCD monitor which is HDCP compliant. I read a few days back on the official PS forums as well as another place that HDMI cable burns out after a few weeks of use. Have any of you guys had any experience where in you had to get a new cable and the screen blacked out because of this ?? 6) Any other good games ? Recommend me some other games please. I plan to pick Heavenly Sword too so anything besides it would be nice Guys, please help me with my small doubts. I am paying 600$ alone for the PS3 40gig model which doesn't even come with a free blu-ray movie. I know it costs 400$ in US but i would prefer to pick an official region console because of the warranty. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 1) I love fps games so which one should i pick ?I have heard Resistance is not that good. I plan to pre-order Haze when it releases in May 08 but for now i need a good exclusive fps game for the PS3. I have played almost all the fps titles on X360. Resistance is good online. I didn't like the way it handled at first, but I got used to it. I'm not sure what the campaign is like, as I haven't really played it a lot yet. I'm on the 2nd mission (I think). Haze, looking from the trailers, I'd highly recommend! I'm picking it up when it comes out! Apparently, Call of Duty 4 is also pretty good on the PS3. I've got it on the 360, and it's brilliant there, so it's probably the same story on Sony's side. 2) The Eye of JudgmentI am getting a very good deal on this one where the PS3 Eye plus other packs is also loaded with it. I saw a video review of it on Gamespot and was really impressed by it. Have any of you guys tried this game before and is it worth investing in it ? I've got The Eye of Judgment, and yes, it's worth it! The camera is ?25 on its own, but I got it for ?60 in the EoJ pack, which is ?10 off the retail price. The only problem with EoJ is the cards. It's like Pokemon all over again. If you want to be really good, you'll have to spend quite a bit of money to get all 110 cards, or you can find them somewhere on t'internet) ;) Also, they're doing version 2. It's going to be a PSN download with new rules and new cards to buy, so it's like Yu-Gi-Oh. It's not a sequel, it's an expansion. 3) Uncharted DrakeI have heard this is one of the best games of PS3. My simple yet n00bish question about it is does it look like Stranglehold or has the same feeling or same game experience ? I saw some pics and it looked kinda like it. I didn't like Stranglehold at all to be honest and was not at all impressed by the graphics. I can't really say much about Uncharted yet. I've only played the first 5 minutes of the demo so far:D :D It's not because it's boring. I just don't have much time on my hands! I've seen a good amount of great reviews for it so far. It's currently scoring 88/100 on Metacritic. It's the 7th best PS3 game (3rd best PS3 exclusive). 4) Bluray Bluetooth RemoteDo any of you guys own this and what features does it add over the use of controller ? I had one of those MCE remotes for X360 and it was useless since i hardly used it. I haven't got it, but I'd probably recommend it. The triggers on the SIXAXIS/DUALSHOCK3 fast forward/rewind the video, and they're easy to knock when you set the controller down! 5) HDMI-DVI CableI will be needing this cable as i plan to connect this to my LCD monitor which is HDCP compliant. I read a few days back on the official PS forums as well as another place that HDMI cable burns out after a few weeks of use. Have any of you guys had any experience where in you had to get a new cable and the screen blacked out because of this ?? The HDMI cable does not burn out after a few weeks of use. I've had my PS3 since August, and there's been no problems whatsoever. Very good value for ?15 (the cable, I mean, not the PS3)! 6) Any other good games ?Recommend me some other games please. I plan to pick Heavenly Sword too so anything besides it would be nice I like Formula One Championship Edition. If you're into racing games, try out the demo when you get your PAlso, the first thing you should do when you get your PS3 is sign up to the PlayStation Network, then go onto the PlayStation Store, and download Gran Turismo HD Concept! It's not gonna be there for long. When GT5 Prologue comes out, it'll be taken down. It's a free game, by the way. You should also try out Virtua Fighter 5. I've never been a fan of the VF series (I'm more of a Tekken and Dead or Alive fan myself) but this one is brilliant! It's also on the 360, sadly with online play, but the PS3 version plays and looks much better. And this is coming from a Microsoft fanboy:D; :D Also, get MotorStorm and Ridge Racer 7! They are brilliant PS3 exclusives! Ridge Racer 7 has tons of customisation, and MotorStorm is brilliant to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morficus Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 1) I love fps games so which one should i pick ?I have heard Resistance is not that good. I plan to pre-order Haze when it releases in May 08 but for now i need a good exclusive fps game for the PS3. I have played almost all the fps titles on X360. Resistance is not bad, it's just a launch title so it's clearly not gonna be the best out there. I would still suggest getting it just so you can be ready for Resistance 2 :p Also, the only play is decent. The fact that it has really big matches makes it fun 2) The Eye of JudgmentI am getting a very good deal on this one where the PS3 Eye plus other packs is also loaded with it. I saw a video review of it on Gamespot and was really impressed by it. Have any of you guys tried this game before and is it worth investing in it ? I'm not a big fan of the card-collecting based games (like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic)... so I can't say much about EoJ. But the Eye is pretty awesome, so I would recomend at least getting that (I'm getting it over the summer) 3) Uncharted DrakeI have heard this is one of the best games of PS3. My simple yet n00bish question about it is does it look like Stranglehold or has the same feeling or same game experience ? I saw some pics and it looked kinda like it. I didn't like Stranglehold at all to be honest and was not at all impressed by the graphics. Persoanlly, I've only played the demo. But it was awesome. It had a good action/shooter fell to it. 4) Bluray Bluetooth RemoteDo any of you guys own this and what features does it add over the use of controller ? I had one of those MCE remotes for X360 and it was useless since i hardly used it. I have a Harmoney 360 for my setup and it (obviously) does not work on the PS3. I'm gonna say not to get the BT remote. The controller works just fine IMHO. The only rason I might ever recomend it to anyone... would be if they were gonna use it as a media center and not as a game console. 5) HDMI-DVI CableI will be needing this cable as i plan to connect this to my LCD monitor which is HDCP compliant. I read a few days back on the official PS forums as well as another place that HDMI cable burns out after a few weeks of use. Have any of you guys had any experience where in you had to get a new cable and the screen blacked out because of this ?? I've had my 80gb PS3 with the same HDMI cable since August 2007 and my cable box since January 2007; and they both still looks just as good as day 1. Where did you hear this about HDMI cables? 6) Any other good games ?Recommend me some other games please. I plan to pick Heavenly Sword too so anything besides it would be nice CoD4 (unless you already have it for the 360) Rachet and Clank Burnout Paradise Devil May Cry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnzoFX Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 download the GT5:P Demo from the japanese store! not the HD concept one, if it's still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 download the GT5:P Demo from the japanese store! not the HD concept one, if it's still there. Neither of them are there, anymore. They removed GT HD on September 30th, then on October 20th, put up the GT5P demo, then on December 13th, that was removed and replaced by the full game. They'll probably be doing the same thing over here in Europe and America, and the game is due out March 28th, so there's not much time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfista Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Uncharted is a true great game. buy it at any cost. Also burnout paradise is very good.. Wait for the patch to come out for Unreal Tournament 3. Oblivion is very nice in PS3 as well. Devil May cry 4 is a very good game if you like to hack and slash. but if you like online FPS you MUST get Warhawk as its very very fun but a little bit hard in the beginning... Also Fifa 2008 in PS3 is better than xbox and DO NOT get PES 2008 as for the first time in many years Fifa outclassed PES in many many ways.

I plan to pre-order Haze when it releases in May 08 but for now i need a good exclusive fps game for the PS3. I have played almost all the fps titles on X360. Graphics... not good really. But it was fun the few times I've played online. Better go with COD4 if your low on budget, if not get both. 2) The Eye of JudgmentI am getting a very good deal on this one where the PS3 Eye plus other packs is also loaded with it. I saw a video review of it on Gamespot and was really impressed by it. Have any of you guys tried this game before and is it worth investing in it ? Unless you like card games, you'd better just buy the PS3 Eye alone. 3) Uncharted DrakeI have heard this is one of the best games of PS3. My simple yet n00bish question about it is does it look like Stranglehold or has the same feeling or same game experience ? I saw some pics and it looked kinda like it. I didn't like Stranglehold at all to be honest and was not at all impressed by the graphics. Played the demo and fell asleep, plain boring. But it was just a demo, the actual game might be better. 4) Bluray Bluetooth RemoteDo any of you guys own this and what features does it add over the use of controller ? I had one of those MCE remotes for X360 and it was useless since i hardly used it. Pretty much, the sixaxis works just as good. 5) HDMI-DVI CableI will be needing this cable as i plan to connect this to my LCD monitor which is HDCP compliant. I read a few days back on the official PS forums as well as another place that HDMI cable burns out after a few weeks of use. Have any of you guys had any experience where in you had to get a new cable and the screen blacked out because of this ?? Yes, HDMI cables only last 2 weeks, then they just burst into flames over you PS3 for massive damage... Get the cable, it'l last longer than you, believe me. 6) Any other good games ?Recommend me some other games please. I plan to pick Heavenly Sword too so anything besides it would be nice COD4, Burnout, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandingInAlley Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Very cool guys Thx for your help. I will be picking Resistance and Heavenly Sword for now and will borrow Uncharted from someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamhook Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I've got a Logitech Harmony 525 and the BD Remote, and I must say, if you're into films, or have dumb parents ( :p ), it's a must. My dad hasn't a clue how to use the PS3 with the controller for BluRay movies, but he knows how with the remote. I also find it quite useful too, I much rather perfer the feel of it for controlling the PS3 during movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandingInAlley Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Guys! Quick Question , is UT3 any good ?? I have had a few friends who sold their copies within 1 hr of owning it. They said it sucked and wasn't great at all. Also whats the whole deal with Resistance : Fall of Man and region protection stuff ? It seems if i get Resistance from Region 2 and play it on Region 3 console, the multiplayer doesn't work :s I plan to get this : http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-...ce-70-2lxc.html The region it says is Asia and my console is of Region 3 :s so will the multiplayer work ??

Well UT3 is a GREAT game but do not buy it until the patch. the game is laggy as hell without the patch. Where are u living by the way europe? if u have a region 3 console the region 2 games should work fine no problems. and in most of the games u are free to choose the online region and u can connect to european asian or american servers as i know.. but u can not do that in unreal yet.

morficus Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 uhm... but the PS3 is region free.... that was one of the big things about the PS3... the fact that Sony was not "limiting" it to regions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin001 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 uhm... but the PS3 is region free....that was one of the big things about the PS3... the fact that Sony was not "limiting" it to regions before the servers went world wide thou i wud put a Res disc in to a HK model and it wud notice my model was HK and make me play with only Japanese gamers! The same with Warhawk if i set the filters to "My Country" it see's it as Hong Kong! but then again Warhawk is worldwide aswell so doesnt really matter!

The biggest advantage of the PS3 is that all the games are region-free, meaning they'll work on any console around the world! The problem with Play-Asia is that for some bizarre reason, they won't ship any PS3 products to Europe. I'm unhappy with this, as I want to get MLB 08 The Show. Anyone here know a similar site that will ship to Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
