And just as Ape Escape changed the way PlayStation games were played, it seems it may do it again for the PS3. Though the game wasn't actually shown at the conference, when Sony listed games that would be using the motion controller, Ape Escape was specifically named. The concept seems right on the money - swing the controller to simulate swinging the net.
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the most interesting facts about the PS3."
I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.
you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.
Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
I WOULD LOVED TO HAVE SEEN THIS! Why didn't they show this instead of RE5/LBP?
This would be AWESOME.
