Is there one of these that come with bluetooth? I actually have one like this, but it works off wireless and I think there's too many wireless signals around me (it literally will lose connection every 20 minutes)

The fact that Yakuza 2 and Persona 4 came out so late in the PS2 life (and after the PS3 was out) gives me hope that we'll see the rest of the Yakuza stuff comes out here, and we still have the possibility of a surprise announcement of Persona 5 for the PS3.

We'll get Yakuza 5 quietly localized in 2014, so as to bridge the gap between 4 and 6. Then they will complain nobody bought 5 and fuss over localizing 6 before reluctantly doing so, but cutting out a huge chunk of content that they feel will not resonate with western audiences.

And we'll all lose our poo poo all over again.

Bluetooth is...wireless.

But anyway yeah, I don't think that first one is bluetooth. Come to think of it, I think Sony's bluetooth interface with the controllers is proprietary and can't be copied, same as 360 controllers. I dunno why the bluetooth people stand for that though.

edit: I finally got Metal Gear Rising delivered. So far I like it but not as much as Bayonetta. The camera especially is a complete bitch and is determined not to show me the enemy that is attacking me (only all the others), and the sub-weapon system is tacked-on and pointless.

Are you locking on with R2? I sometimes forgot about it in the demo, but it definitely helps when you want to target a specific enemy.

The problem with it is that it will not target an enemy that's not on screen.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Snakebyte-SB904721-Wireless-Controller-PS3/dp/B002M99VDY this is by far the comfiest ps3 controller I've used. Once you get used to the elongated handles, the original ps3 controller just seems really lovely. The only downside I've found is that the wireless dongle is flimsy as gently caress, and will fall apart very easily, and Snakebyte don't seem prepared to send you replacements. Still, for only £15 they're great, as long as you remember to treat the dongle as if it were made out of paper.

The subweapons are much more useful on higher difficulties, especially the EM grenades, and are an easy way to rescue civilians. On Normal and Hard they're pretty ignorable.

I liked Bayonetta and Vanquish more but I'm loving this game even if I can barely make progress on the top difficulty level!

I guess grenades are okay, since you can throw them without aiming (though you're gonna be hit four times while you're just in the grenade throwing animation), but rocket launches and missiles always need to be aimed right? When on earth will I have the time?

You can cancel pretty much any animation by tapping the Blade Mode button. Grenades can be thrown with a quick tap of the sub-weapon button but RPGs and the like need the aimed I think. You shouldn't use them in normal fights though, they're mainly handy for shooting flying enemies down before you start a fight.

It was already answered in the main Revengeance thread, but you can definitely double tap the button to fire off the missile launchers quickly. And they are fired at whatever you have locked on, with the benefit of homing if you are using that launcher.

I'm after a new game and not really sure what to get. Still having a go with the Metal Gear Rising demo and I'm not sure its what I want even if pretty much every game I've had has been a 3rd person action/shooter game of some kind. I've played the uncharted games, darksiders 1 and 2, infamous 1 and 2, dragons dogma, dark souls, sleeping dogs, the batman game, god of war 3. Any FPS games I get for the PC.

They're actually bringing in some changes (but it's not going to be super radical, because the engine is still pretty simple)


And I don't think that article makes it obvious but Kingdom Hearts 1.5 will have KH1, and Chain of Memories playable, and it has the cutscenes from 358/2 Days.

It's like they don't even trust the Final Fantasy name to sell anymore, yet they keep faffling around with 13, and 13-2 and Lighting Returns, and Versus 13 (which btw might have some news on it at E3 this year)


It does make some sense to have the Kingdom Hearts collection because it'll be multiple games, and the goal is to bring the series back onto one console (which is going to fail because KH3 is likely to end up on the PS4, and Versus 13 is probably PS4 as well)


FFX and XII HD would do fine as $20 downloadable titles. The same thing happened for RE4 and Code Veronica. They would also both be vastly improved by the international edition content. And it's one less reason for people to have to worry abotu keeping their PS2s around.

(edit: Where did you see that it was officially canned? It seems they're still moving forward with FFX HD at least, as they've got a Vita version planned now)

Well that makes my morning a lot better! I remember someone saying in this thread, last year around the Tokyo Game Show, that it was canceled.

Versus 13 is for sure still going too? I wasn't entirely sure that one was still in development or not. It keeps getting moved back, and they are making a whole new Final Fantasy 13 game that wasn't even announced before Versus was. Plus that new next gen Final Fantasy game that Square showed off at E3 and then at the PS4 conference. So I think I assumed at that point it was canned.

I don't think 12 was officially in the works at the moment, but it seems like a logical next step after they're done with FFX-HD.

Honestly, I'm more interested in getting to play the International edition of the game than having it in HD (which will still look nice though. It's still one of the best looking PS2 games)

I'm playing Assassin's Creed 2 for the first time right now, which I've owned for... years.

Anyway, I'm really digging it (though the futuristic part of it is weird- luckily it doesn't seem to factor in so much).

I started playing it because AC 3 looks awesome. Should I play the new ones that came out between AC 2 and 3 (AKA are they good or do they add something to the story that I need), or would this thread recommend I just move right to AC 3? Given that my backlog is as big as you'd expect if I'm just now playing a game from 2009 that I've owned since shortly after it came out.

Correct, FFXII HD was never announced. I do want it though - never did get to beat that game, since it looked like utter rear end on my PS3. A proper widescreen 720p 60fps version would be lovely. Though I still think they should have just done X, X-2 and XII HD with the FMVs redone and put them on one disc for $60.

AC3 was okay. It had some pacing issues with it's story, but by-and-large it's a good solid game. Running through treetops in the Frontier to leap down onto unsuspecting deer or grizzly bears is fun as hell. I would also dearly love to get a full game of some kind based around using the ship. The naval missions really feel like you're at the helm of a large sailing vessel, cannons and all.
