I'm especially looking foward to see what they've done with Mass Effect 2.

thereapersson4881d ago

Going to get a new bulb for my TV later this week, so I'll be stoked to play the demo of Dead Space 2.

That sucks man. I hate having to ration out my bandwidth. Just out of curiosity, what was the documentary?

Somnipotent4880d ago

bulb? still haven't moved up from DLP? sorry to hear that bro... hopefully you'll get it soon! don't want you to miss out on all the fun!

DlocDaBudSmoka4880d ago

i feel ur pain. i have a 3dHD bulb tv and thats the only part that sucks is the bulb.

thereapersson4880d ago (Edited 4880d ago )

I don't have a DLP from Samsung. I thought about getting a DLP, but I decided not to, since I don't really trust Samsung's reliability in their DLP sets. The control panel on my friend's DLP just went out last week; I guess it's a common issue with those models.

I own a Sony SXRD KDS-50A3000 rear projection set. It still beats a lot of the LCD tv's when it comes to black levels, color saturation, and a sharp 1080p picture. There is something about a projection set that looks more "natural", IMO. I just pop in a new bulb, and it's as bright and sharp as the day I purchased it. The current bulb I have lasted me just under 4 years, which is rather good considering for a while there, I was leaving the set on about 18 hours a day.

Some day when I have the cash, I'll pick up a new TV. But for now, this does me just fine. I don't want to hang it on the wall, so there really is no need for me to buy a flat panel set at the moment.

Demos of the three GOTY contenders of 2011 plus super awesome price drops on tons of games tomorrow (for Europe at least). God, I love PS3.

NinjaAssassin4881d ago

I am quite stoked for all three demos.

I want to try LBP2 because the first one was pretty fun and I love the music.

Mass Effect 2 I want to be able to compare it to the 360 edition I already have to see if it is worth buying again.

I want to also compare Dead Space 2 to see which console I will get it for. DS1 was the best horror game ever imo.

worldgames4881d ago

We got nothing on the Aus PSN. Shattered saw the heading and went straight to psn and nothing. I was like ah bugger only America.

Sitris4881d ago

Dude calm down, the Aussie PSN store doesn't update till Wednesday night, it will be updated tomorrow night for us. Usually like midnight but oh well.

Iamback4881d ago

u know u can create USA account and use it for this type of stuff. Downloading demos. I know i did that.

HolyOrangeCows4881d ago (Edited 4881d ago )

Hint: Create accounts for US and Japan, get access to almost everything.

After you make the Japan account, anyone know how to change the language to English?

morganfell4881d ago

I played in the DS2 beta and am so looking forward to the demo. LB2 will be cool but to really see where the game is going I need to look at the tools and we don't know what is in the demo at the moment. And of course having beaten ME twice I am looking forward to getting this, the very robust and refined looking version on the PS3.

I tend to collect guides for certain titles and Prima said they are putting out an overhauled edition for the PS3 version of ME2.

I think we may find there are a few more things in store for us as well. Really looking forward to this.

NecrumSlavery4881d ago

@ morganfell

I take it you didn;t play the LBP2 beta? I would say that the creation tools are a about as easy for noobies as in the LBP, but when you get down to the core of what they can do, you'll crap yourself. It is so deep. I dont think there is anything you cant make. I am really excited to see what the Japanese make with LBP2.

fantasygamer4881d ago

wow all my free time might be spent on PSN all day today.

BYE4881d ago

Let's see if LBP2 lives up to its hype.

emekcrash4881d ago

It won't show you much, just two story levels and one multiplayer survival (You throw bombs at your friends, they have to dodge them and vice versa).

BYE4881d ago

It better show enough to make me wanna buy it ;D

MariaHelFutura4881d ago

LBP2 is beyond the hype. No Joke. It`ll be the highest rated game this gen when it`s all said and done.

Koolno4881d ago

You can't use youtube ?

so many videos to never again talk about "hype".

NinjaAssassin4881d ago

TBH that is the one I am looking forward to the most. I love its sci-fi/horror atmosphere reminicent of Aliens or Event Horizon.

VenomProject4881d ago

I'm still waiting on that lost-in-gaming-limbo Aliens: Colonial Marines game...That title looked quite promising, that is until we stopped hearing about it.

adrock20994880d ago

Remember when instead of getting an awesome sounding Aliens horror/RPG from Sega we got the extremely disappointing Aliens vs. Predator? That was depressing :(

showtimefolks4881d ago

played ME1 and carried my character over ot the 2nd its awsome i might still pick up ME2 since its a newer version for ps3 with updated everything

dead space 1 i bought when it was 20 and i may take the same route again. LBP2 for those who loved LBP 1 is simply awsome so enjoy i think my time for gaming starts with KZ3

i want to play dues-ex in january but that has been delayed hopefully it will still come out soon

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

XiNatsuDragnel21d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel20d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia21d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda20d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long20d ago

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto20d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long20d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave26d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan26d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."

Aaroncls740d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado40d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta40d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B40d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.
