From what I heard, it sounded like it was a a pretty sizable departure from the original in terms of gameplay. Concept is the same (alien ships, shoot them), but it's time-based and your score is linked to your time. True? False?Quote:

I'll stick to Beat Hazard for a Galaga meets Asteroids meets music... unfortunately it's not on PS3.
Yeah, Jeff, your score on this new Galaga is time-based.
I'm not sure if that's a good thing, it was the one thing that I saw as a turn-off when considering buying it.
I have the original on a Namco dlc, but I never play it. I just wasn't ever into Galaga. This, I might play. I like the options with aiming and the smoothness of how it plays. I'll probably end up buying it one day when I'm bored.
Catherine, as I said, is only a game I'd consider at the right price.
It looks like I may give Limbo a look. Thanks, IOU.

Jeeze. I might have to take a look then. It looked a little too...I don't know...we'll use comic book queer...for my taste, but if all 3 of those reviewers liked it, it may be worth checking into. Is it a platformer?Quote:

I haven't played it yet, but based on the reviews I've read I'd characterize it as puzzle/platformer. It's a puzzle-game with platforming concepts -- I think. Like a platforming version of Tetris?Quote:

Limbo is pretty fun. Last week I played it for a couple hours straight and got just over halfway through. It's a fun puzzle game.
That Catherine game also has me perplexed. From the little I saw, I thought it looked odd and not my type of game at all - but all the great reviews have me somewhat intrigued.
I'm definitely getting Catherine sometime down the road. ABSOLUTELY loved Limbo when it came out last year in the Summer of Arcade, glad the PS3 players get to taste it too.
Well that didn't take long for them to hear my suggestion...Quote:

I cannot get the 3.7 firmware update to work. I get to 19% on the download and get a DNS error. Any ideas?
Ah, forgot that I can do it through usb drive. Will try that.
Download it directly and transfer via USB drive.
EDIT - http://dus01.ps3.update.playstation....b/PS3UPDAT.PUP (Right click and Save As.)
Firmware 3.7 has really jacked up my connection. I keep getting connected right away when I turn the PS3 on and then a few minutes later I get signed out and can't sign back in, have a DNS error. The PS3 internet connection test all passes so I don't know what the fuck is going on.
Now when I do an internet test I get an IP Fragments error :fp: what the fuck.
Rebooted and I'm signed in right away...let's see if this stays.
Nope, one minute later I get signed out with the error code 80028ED4
Considering I have ran with these settings on my router and PS3 for two years without a problem, yet I get a DNS error in the middle of downloading the firmware last night, something there just completely fucked everything up. I haven't had a single problem since I got this router. :fp: Just e-mailed Sony support. I'm calling it a night.
One thing I just thought of is maybe Google Music automatically started up when my computer rebooted overnight. Something to try tomorrow.

So this is how one accomplishes 11,000 posts? ;)
On topic: I had the same issue but then again I'm not up during the peak hours trying that.
Pretty much. :DQuote:

Well it wasn't Google Music, I shut it down, reset everything and still get booted 30 seconds after loggin in on the PSN. :smh: it's the firmware that fucked something up.
Hmmmm changed my psn connection to auto and now I'm fine. Firmware screwed something up with specific ip's

That's a nice price, though. Smart move by Sony beating MS to the punch there. They should start flying off the shelves.
I just read a rumor that NFL Sunday Ticket is coming to PS3, but for $340.
Yep, it's on Joystiq....
It's for DirecTV customers. You have to pay the normal Sunday Ticket subscription, then $50 on top of it to access it on PS3.Quote:

Yeah, WAY too high. I do think it's cool, though.

Which is ridiculous when it was $100 or $150 before. Yet people pay that high price :fp:Quote:
