Official PS3 thread - Part 3

Here's the last post in the old thread:

Don't know if this was posted yet.

EA's NBA Live '07 has been dropped for the PS3 and Sonic has been delayed until next year(Holiday '06). Isn't the NBA Live demo on the kiosks? That is fucked up if true.

Both articles are from Kotaku.com
NBA Live '07 -
Quote:
PS3 owners will have to wait until next year for some official NBA ball bouncing action. Electronic Arts' NBA Live 07, announced back at E3 in May, has been scrapped outright. EA's PR person David Tinson points out:

"We are concentrating our efforts on creating a spectacular NBA Street: Homecourt [instead of porting NBA Live 07]. [Homecourt] is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 early next year. "

Other than being used as an E3 example of what the system's hardware could do, game play details were never disclosed about what exactly was PS3-rrific about NBA Live 07. The first half of next year, NBA Street: Homecourt will hit the Xbox 360 and *hopefully* the PS3. Brian Ashcraft


Sonic the Hedgehog -
Quote:
Those of you looking forward to spending more time with Shadow the Hedgehog, this time on your PlayStation 3, are going to have to wait a little bit longer. Another PS3 title is going to miss the launch, and this time it's Sega's own flagship mascot, Sonic.

Why the delay, this close to launch? It seems Sega wants to spend more time working on downloadable content, but didn't specify exactly what that downloadable content was. I can only assume they're working on new ways to ruin my positive childhood memories of the Sega Genesis or they've finally inked a deal to get some 50 Cent tracks for Shadow's in-car stereo.

The game is specified now as "holiday 2006". Hopefully, they'll update it to "never". Sorry, I'm surly tonight. Still bitter about that whole Shadow thing.

The demo was actually Sony's NBA game, not EA's.

this whole PS3 ebay thing could turn into a major nightmare for a buyer with the way Paypal treats these situations.
This same sorta thing happened last year the 360. Some guy bought one for a little over $2000 and ended up getting the box the 360 came in....and that's it. PayPal didn't do anything about it because the Seller had a receipt and confirmation the box had been received. All I can say is, if you're a buyer, make sure you check out the Seller's feedback history first and that includes checking each item he recevied feedback for. I know there are some people on there that create ebay accounts then buy a bunch of recipes for $.01-.10 to bump up there feedback then turn around and screw someone on a expensive purchase. It's sad.

Not knocking that list, but it seems like most of those non-exclusives could have already been played, finished and traded-in on the 360. You would think Sony could have gotten a couple of those games held back for a simultaneous release. Namely, Rainbow Six, Need for Speed, Marvel and COD3.

And as for Fight Night and Blazing Angels...wouldn't sequels have been more approriate? Full Auto came out at roughly the same time as Fight Night. I do realize that there are some additions to Fight Night on PS3, but isn't Round 4 right around the corner?

The launch titles are so lame, nothing screaming must have. The only game that i really want to play on the PS3 is Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I compared the screen shots with the Xbox360 and the Wii, PS3 has the best graphic. Now, i'm not sure what resolution was used to capture the screen shots, so there probably not much difference between the Xbox360 and PS3 version. The other game is CoD3, but it's available on the other consoles as well, so nothing special.

Again, i think i'll wait and see, buying a PS3 now and end up playing PS2 games on it or play BR movies not worth the cash. Seriously, i think the Wii probably generate a way better return in terms of game fun during the first month of launch than the PS3. I'm not saying that b/c i'm not camping out to get one. Hey, i think it will be difficult to find a Wii during launch week. Speaking of Wii, the thread is up to part 5!

Delayed, not cancelled. It was posted in the last thread. EBgames/Gamestop pushed the availability date to 2007 along with F.E.A.R. as well.

Got to play on the PS3 at Target today. NBA and Motorstorm were the only demo's. I thought Motorstorm was good, but the motion control thing will definitely take some getting used to. I think one of the problems is the Target kiost setup. The way the controller is connected, it makes it very difficult to twist the controller. It also makes it so your face is about 10in from the screen, which sucks.

Has anyone played COD3 on the PS3 yet? I'd like to know about the framerate compared to the 360 version. I'd also like to know if it's got all the same multiplayer options.

I doubt it. Japan doesn't care much for non-Japanese games in general.

Exactly Japanese gamers are sometimes insular when it comes to products I guess that's why Microsoft has a hard time with marketshare over there.

So is it a definite that the PS3 doesn't have an IR port? If I wanted to use it as a BD player then I would want to use my Harmony remote.

quick question:

Since I have a projector - can I hook this up with component cables and get HD games and movies... or is that output only HDMI?

So um.. what's the point of the 60GB model then? For that extra hundred bones you could score a 300GB drive.

Did anyone see the portion of the manual that explains how to install a different Operating System? Link

It also links to this site; which is just a cover page at the moment: Link

That's pretty interesting for the PC / techie crowd.
