  Got the New PS3 Slim, w00t! ....but now what?

  I got the new PS3 Slim, as it title implies it's "slim" and looks very nice. Not like a countertop grill anymore, maybe a waffle press? idk..in any case I'm sorely disapointed with it. For the most part it is my fault that I didn't check into that the PS3 Slim doesn't have PS2 backwords compatiblility, but it does have PS1. wtf?! Or so I was told. I havn't yet tried putting a PS2 game in myself to try, but oh well. I'm sure they're probaly right. I just don't know why.

  I sold my PS2 to sonystyle in terms of credit, b/c they reccomeded it for the refurbishing program, but why refirbish that when you are just getting something that doesn't do the job for you? I'd get it if it was a regular PS3 and it had the backwords compatibility or if it were microsoft and they did it for the xbox in that respect, b/c you are getting the same function you had w/o the relic you don't want, and some savings towards what you do. Seems great, but wait I got screwed. F***

  I guess I have to use my PC if I ever want to go back to playing PS2 games. Now I have to buy a PS2 usb adaptor. Screw you sony. *sighs* that being said, any reccomeded games?I just beat Uncharted 1, and have 2. I'm going to get Ratchet and Clank: ToD and hold off on CiT. I'll probaly get heavy rain when it comes out, and I'd like to try and play infamous, b/c I hear it's good, but I'd like to try and shy away from the A/A category. As for something like littlebigplanet, it's not really my "cup of tea". I want some good, obscure PS3 esclusive titles, any help?

  What are you looking foward to in Q4?

  It seems to be a realm of sequels for me. I've fully pre-ordered 2 games so far. I only paid $40 out of pocket for both Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition+ Halo: ODST. The rest was discounted and credit. Go me, CAG4Life. Saved myself a bundle....now to buy the rest. ugh...

  1. Modern Warfare 2

  

  2. Bioshock 2

  

  3. Halo:ODST

  

  4. Assasin's Creed 2

  

  5. Left4Dead 2

  

  6. Mass Effect 2

  

  >.< Q4 always makes me poor.

  A Ruined Legacy

  As I and many others have been waiting for the relase of a new KOTOR title. It's been dreaded that it would become a mmo, and now by various sources it's been "confirmed". Yet why would a such great series be put down just by a switch of genre? Well the simple fact is that the storyline of MMOs are generally progressed by the players and their actions, not by the world created by the developers themselves. Therefore a more realistic world created by the players in a MMO will take away from the storyline from the original series. Leaving a much different experience than the last 2 titles.

  Now for better or worse the series will seemingly become an MMO. This has been said here by editors on Gamespot, Game Informer, and other news sources. Now for all the talk that will continously be sturn around by the slight news of a speculitive source. There has yet to be any footage, screens, or other information reletive to this game. Leaving the area of development to progress. Perhaps they'll listen to what needs to be done, but most likely not considering that they now are going to be in "finalizing stages" of development, considering that the talk has provoked intrest and hype pressuring a release date.

  What i'm curious is how much development there is going to be put into the new MMO if that is truly what it'll be in the somewhat near future. It could be as bleak as EVE where essentially the players run the entire game and the story and other such highlighted developments of offline console games would be set in a slump.

  Still nonetheless there is the appeal of the MMO, where new players and long time fans of star wars VG titles will collaberate together massively online. still the success of such star wars titles have been demolished by preivous titles like: Star Wars Galaxies where the development stages in the release of the game where wretchedly thrown out of balence and in turn ruined the game for many players.

  The question is will the success of the KOTOR series depend on luck of the success in the transition of genres? In my opinion, i wouldn't want to risk ruch a successful series, but rather enhance the development of the console brand by making due on such disapointments like the Sith Lords. (Good game, but lacking)
