DON'T STOP.... BELIEEEEEEVIN!!!!!!

RB DLC here I come.

i'll download the killzone 2 thing. it sounds really cool. the patapon costume is a definite purchase too.

Pata Pata Pata Pwn! Same here, I love Patapon (and LBP). And being a software engineer I'm very interested in checking out the KZ2 trailer BTS.

sweet. patapon is such a great game. patapon 2 is great too but kinda hard.

meh nothing good to check out IMO
anybody know if they arent releasing anymore addons for naruto UNS?

that Behind the Bullet demo is hot shit.....

Too bad the Halo Wars Commercial wasnt rendered with the game engine...lol

lol u have an underbite.

I don't care what you say, the cut scene of the Spartans kicking ass was hot shit. I miss prerendered cut scenes sometimes. Like that clip of wolverine coming out of the water.

The killzone commercial was also hot shit. Just saying.

LMAO!!!! right I have a slight overbite if anything.....how U can see an underbite in a pic that small I dont understand...

@dirty yea it does look pretty damn good....Pre-render is good on the PSP, Wii, DS, PS2 etc....but I just think the PS3 & 360 should use pre-rendered content sparingly if possible. We all see just HOW good things can look with Killzone 2, and the Screens from uncharted 2. I can only IMAGINE what FF13 will look like when it comes out this year...I am SOOOO going to import it from Japan...lol

I hope Blizzard never stops making pre-rendered cinematics, they're consistently the best at it.

Sometimes it's more of a design decision than a matter of taste or technical limitations.

The Best!?!?! Have you not Seen MGS4, Heavy Rain, or FF13???

hell I dont think ANYONE can touch Square with the Pre-rendered content....not even Pixar...

square enix is a lot better than blizzard IMO

Gotta join the bandwagon and say Square is pretty on top of pre-rendered scenes. Of course, MG4 had some great stuff too.

crisis core's prerendered cutscenes are the most beautiful things i have ever seen on a psp screen.

MGS 4 was all rendered with in game assets, I think.

Yes. The best.

The space marine trailer for StarCraft 2 and the teaser for Diablo 3 is superior to anything else I've seen from a game company. Including FFXII. Perhaps you prefer the style of Square's rendering, but Blizzard's is far more impressive.

Also, suggesting MGS4 was hilarious. Not that MGS4 doesn't look incredible, but as Bissy said, it's all done with their real-time assets.

so is what we have seen so far of Uncharted 2 & Heavy Rain....yet it looks as good or better than some pre rendered stuff...

If that's the case, I've lost confidence in your technical knowledge of the subject.

are you saying that those real time rendered scenes dont look as good or better than some pre-rendered scenes??

um.. what happened to that PS3 update u guys reported about yesterday? The one with chat and all.. >:(

What are you talking about? Tt was release yesterday and most of us have it already

Uhhh go under Settings click on System Update. Here is a picture to help you if it's that much trouble.

You know, if they charged $0.49 for those Little Big Planet costumes instead of $1.99 I would certainly purchase them in a heartbeat, even if I don't play LBP as frequently as other games.

I mean, it more than likely costs MM/Sony less than $0.49 to make one costume so they make profit no matter what.

the costumes are directed at people who like the franchises they're based on. i wouldn't pay for the wipeout costumes because i'm not too big of a fan of the series (even though pulse is great fun). but that patapon costume? i would buy it in a heartbeat. even if it was like $5.

they make a killing off of those....they not gonna drop the price anytime soon..I do see in the future they may bundle like 20 outfits together for a discounted price....

No, you wouldn't buy them at $0.49 either.

Strange that its cheaper to buy the 3 Spongebob song individually than the pack....
Typo?
And noooo im NOT buying them, ok maybe :-p

Just your two cents? I mean just two cents is the difference...

setting my password sorry

No Sonic Unleashed DLC?

ROFLMAO!!!!

the behind the bullet thing is cool. i'll play with the analogs more later. i'm saving my lbp costume purchases for later, all together.

Sure, I'll have a free episode of Qore. Why not?

didnt even notice that was free....lol...they trying to get subscriptions....

I know, right? Obviously the most successful products in the world are the ones that aren't marketed at all.

ROLFMAO!!!

They could market it in better ways than that. i.e. do like MS and bombard us with ads as soon as we sign in...obviously it works or MS wouldnt do it. Would it piss me off?? yea it would but it may yeild better results for PSN products...

... Are you freaking kidding? You think Sony are marketing Qore badly by not being obnoxious with it?

... Is something wrong with you?

nah. not at all. But I think if they advertised more on say gaming sites they would get more subscriptions than from just giving away so far 3 episodes for free. Well that and add better content

i've seen qore ads on this site and others

No Valkyria Chronicles DLC, still.

But excited (sort of) about the Killzone thing.

Yeah after I beat VC I was itching to play more missions. The DLC should be coming in a month or two I think.

I guess I could always go back to replay the missions on hard mode and/or A-Class every mission.

Killzone 2: Behind the Bullet is now a happy member of my little "Art" folder (along with Linger in Shadows and Mesmerize).

Would love to download some of this stuff but apparently some crazy moderator banned me for typing in asterisks. Wasn't using profanity, was just typing in asterisks haha.

So a note to everyone, moderators can't see filtered words. They just see asterisks and ban accordingly. Do not type in asterisks even as a joking manner. I was just typing in random numbers of asterisks.

mods in a specific game? or mods on the PSN in general?

WTF!?!? you got banned from PSN for typing asterisks in Home??? LMAO!!!!

Mods in @Home, and they ban you from any online activity except the web browser. I just called them and made them check the logs. They saw that I was just typing in asterisks, appologized and lifted the ban.

If you ever do have to call Sony be sure to use 1-800-345-7669 and keep hitting 0 until you get to talk with a human.

ouch. good thing you got your online back.

wow thats crazy....was it meant to be a temporary ban or permanent??

I often times say stuff that get censored on home and its not even a bad word
