Joe Danger! 14$ PSN Arcade game. - An absolute blast.


Recommended Posts

I am thinking about getting it, is there online multiplayer?

No.. not .. yet.. though I assume it might be coming.

Saw this in another thread. I think i may have to get this. Has split screen too doesn't it?

Visually it looks really nice.

Yes to splitscreen multiplayer.

The game is alot of fun. Those waiting on t he GiantBomb quicklook, it really doesnt do it any justice. All they were pretty much doing was playing through all the early tracks which happen to serve as tutorial. Though it looked fun, keep in mind there's tons more than what was shown.

I hesitated tossing 15bucks at it at first, but glad I did.

PS3 exclusive?

The devs would have ported it over to multiplatform but it wouldve been initially impossible due to manpower. I think it's only what.. 4 guys ?

I'm sure it will pop up on the 360 in time.

Edit: Here's a quote.

"We're just four dudes making the game. It takes everything we've got to just bring it out on one platform. People probably don't understand that, but it's this huge amount of work, and huge amount of money to do that.

"We're kind of free agents after this, so we'll see, and we want to get our game out there. But no, we couldn't have brought it out on lots of different platforms. That would've killed us."

So I just picked up Joe Danger tonight, I have been looking forward to it ever since I saw the trailer, and I have to say although I am very early on, I am definitely not disappointed.

The controls are just like the game Trials HD, except it is much more arcadey. It honestly reminds me a lot of Excitebike, just a modern day silly version, which is definitely a good thing.

I see there is also a track creator, which is kick ass, it has split screen, and it looks like there are a whole, whole lot of levels to be played in the SP Career Mode.

So what do other people think?

I see a few people are already on my friends leadboards, PheePS, Audioboxer, and frodouk, so looks like a few people already purchased it. So what are your guys tricks to playing? Especially you Frodouk. :laugh: I see you have some sick scores.

So if anyone is looking for a great little time killer that is just about having fun and is reminiscent of Excitebike mixed with Trails HD, I would say this is a game you definitely may want to check out. Since it was just released, it costs $14.99, but it already seems like it was well worth it.

To be honest, I was expecting more. The devs really boasted about how big this game was, but really it's not. Heck it's only 250MB or so.

Don't get me wrong, it's fun as hell... but there's really not much depth to it. It will get repetitive, even with the track creator. There's no online database to store them, you gotta PM them to people. Plus no online multiplayer... local is cool and all but if you don't have your buddies over it would be nice to just jump into an online match on a boring day.

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
