You can play your minigames you've downloaded while you wait for the installation of games and stuff to the hard-drive...
Remakes and remasters have become a staple of this generation, and Ace Combat 7 Game Director Kazutoki Kono opened a couple of interesting polls on his Twitter account about two of Bandai Namco’s most classic series.
Give me every Ace Combat from 1 to 5 and any Ridge Racer will do. Flight Combat is my favorite genre, Ill take everything you can give me.
AC4 was my first experience not only of the series, but also my first PS2 game. Remember hammering it for hours at Xmas when I got it.
Would love to see it brought back :)
Eurogamer:
"December 3rd, 1994 - Sony launches the original PlayStation in Japan, bringing with it seismic shift in the nature of console gaming. The 2D era of sprites and bitmap art was coming to an end, with polygon-driven 3D the new standard in state-of-the-art visuals. The Sega Saturn launched a couple of weeks ahead of Sony's debut console, but it was the PlayStation that set the standard for technological innovation in this new era. Namco's Ridge Racer launched alongside the new hardware - and it was a revelation."
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiddgeeee Raaaaaaaaccceeeeeeeeeer, everyone!
Says Kaz. Never forget.
the space invader loading screen was great in that game, complete it all to unlock all the cars and the special black car. those were the days, no micro transactions to buy a faster car in those days.
please bandai-namco. bring these classics back with online multiplayer for psn and xbox live. the newer games are utter crap.
Damn! I completed this game 100% once. I got all the cars, did all the crazy challenges to unlock every last one of them. The Space invader thing, everything.
I just gotto say it: THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!! :))
As is becoming more and more common, the PlayStation Store in North America will be holding yet another Flash Sale that runs through the weekend, this time with the focus on racing games.
- PSLS
Nothing for me here, though I like how Sony has been pushing a lot of deals like Steam.
Whoo finally a PS4 flash sale... after I sold it. ):
Wtf one game? They really gotta step up PS4 sales man
nothing but crap i expected better then this oh well if gt 6 was in that list it be autobuy no brainer but its not
Now that's revolutionary!.
You know why this all is?
Because BluRay is too slow to get the games done properly.
So they make installments on the HDD. Now that's nice. You have a HDD and most of it will be taken up by games because the technology they push on you is too slow to get the game loaded on an acceptable speed.
Because the wait to install is long, they get in minigames and bring is as a nice present to you, when actually they just need to take out the dissapointment you'll have by waiting. Getting the point?
yeah, i owned an atari 7800 back in the days, and the first game i owned for that system was Xevious. that damn game had no ending. it just starts you at the beginning, but at a harder level, after beating the game.
I guess the rumour that RR7 took 9 seconds to load onto the hdd was also bulls**t. Probably takes 9 seconds just to load Xevious. But hey, extra load times is a good thing , right? At least that's what the Ps3 community seems to think.
Does it take that long to load that one would want to load it to the hard drive? How much does it load to the hard drive. 25 Gig blu-ray disk, 60 gig hard drive, am I wrong to think that if this becomes a standard that the 60 gig drive will be consumed very quickly.
Why do one need to load to hard drive, are there know stoppage/pauses for textures to load during game play.
does it take a long time for tracks to load. Just trying to understand why a load to hard drive may be necessary.
