Stefanie UPSF Captain Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 1433 Loc: Nashville, TN USA	I played the RE5 demo all day, and I'm pooped. lol Now, I'm ready for the full version. Has anyone played GTA4 or The Godfather in multi-player mode? I just wondered whether they were worth the effort. My guy in The Godfather has a zoot suit, with the feather in the hat and everything. Not very 1950s, but he looks cool. I wish men would start wearing those again. lol

Gevin UPSF Lieutenant Registered: 02/09/09 Posts: 392 Loc: Houston, Tx	I'll fool around with you a bit in GTA4 online, but there's not much to it. You certainly can't do story mode co-op. It's mostly battling. .. I'm still sceptical as to whether or not Godfather even has online.. Godfather 2 will not be coming to the Wii, so I am likely to get it for PS3. Six-Axis is the same as Wii motion control, right? (sarcasm) _________________________

Stefanie UPSF Captain Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 1433 Loc: Nashville, TN USA	Speaking of Sixaxis, which PS3 do you guys have? I have the original 60GB (CECHA01) with chrome trim and all of the hardware features, including the emotion engine (hardware emulation for PS1/2). It came with no games and a single Sixaxis controller, which I use with the keypad. I had to get the DualShock 3 separately, along with the keypad and memory card adaptor. As Gevin made clear online yesterday, I really need to go get a headset. I was seriously considering a second PS3 for the other TV (I watch a lot of BDs), but the new 160GB version (CECHPxx) includes only 2 USB ports (as opposed to 4), and doesn't include flash card readers, SACD support, or any type of PS1/2 emulation. I know they're trying to keep the unit price low, but there should always be a full-featured version available. I might have to scrap the idea of a second PS3 and get a regular BD player, now that they're less expensive that the PS3. Has anyone put a large hard drive (500GB to 1TB) in a PS3? I'm going to have to replace mine, eventually. Originally Posted By: Gevin .. I'm still sceptical as to whether or not Godfather even has online.. I checked. The Godfather: The Don's Edition has an online leaderboard for the Corleone Challenges, but no actual online play, which is what I was thinking. Too bad.

Stefanie UPSF Captain Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 1433 Loc: Nashville, TN USA	Originally Posted By: WhtHawk It seems I did find a bug in the program, it locked my PS3 up enough I had to disconnect the power instead of using the soft buttons. The RE5 demo caused me to restart a couple of times too, but I never had to use the power switch in the back of the console. The front power button still shut off the console, but the PS button on the controller didn't. At least Capcom does include a warning about the demo being buggy.

Gevin UPSF Lieutenant Registered: 02/09/09 Posts: 392 Loc: Houston, Tx	I had a freezing moment & managed to handle it with my controller. I simply held the PS button 'till the shutdown option popped up. I loved Godfather on Wii, so I'll absolutely be getting Godfather II when it is made available. Perhaps it will offer something for online multiplaying. I got my 60gb model after the first price drop, as I was aware that backwards compatible units were soon to grow scarce. Also, I never owned a PS1 or PS2, so I saw the value in playing those consoles' titles that I had missed out on. I have 3 dualshocks, 1 Sixaxis, a headset, & an eye toy. _________________________

WhtHawk UPSF Lieutenant Registered: 06/10/08 Posts: 350 Loc: KS	I grabbed one of the 60GB launch models right after they announced the new units would not have PS2 support. I was hoping it would give my ailing PS2 a break, but I have not bought an adapter for things like my DDR Pads. I need to figure out how to fix the sync between my TV and PS2, the delay is enough to make playing DDR rather painful. _________________________ "Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.

Stefanie UPSF Captain Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 1433 Loc: Nashville, TN USA	Having "tested" the Resident Evil 5 PS3 demo for most of this past weekend (actually, I did break to eat once or twice), I'm starting to warm up to the idea of playing games online, especially now that some of the series that I've enjoyed for years will have online options. I always thought it would be fun to have two players take Leon and Ava through Resident Evil 4 at the same time, and that's what RE5 seems to be doing with Chris and Sheva: Originally Posted By: Wikipedia In an interview with XBOX360ISM, Keiji Inafune stated that the game will feature some online elements. Resident Evil 5's main story mode can be played with two players, in a co-operative online mode. The feature will allow players to enter or leave anytime during the game. Players will not always stick together, and can be separated at points during the gameplay. That's what I'm looking forward to playing. Short side missions (as in the RE5 demo) are nice distractions, but being able to play through the whole game with someone else online sounds like a lot of fun.

Stefanie UPSF Captain Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 1433 Loc: Nashville, TN USA	I went shopping for a PlayStation 3 Bluetooth Headset last night, but all of the local stores were out of them. I went ahead and ordered one online, along with that PlayStation Eye thingy. As far as I know, that covers all of the official PS3 accessories, so I'll no longer be the one handicapping the team during online play. lol I also noticed that stores are selling $20 and $40 pre-paid cards for the PSN store. I might have to get a couple of those, because PSN eventually decided that it didn't like my debit card. It worked fine when I bought the Q*bert download, but later on, when I tried to buy the full version of Stardust (fun shooter, by the way), it said my reported address didn't match the one associated with the card, but it does. I contacted the PSN people, and receieved a typical corporate "We're sorry you're having trouble with our glitchy system, but we won't fix the problem" response. I have an apartment number, and sometimes that causes problems when poorly-written software can't comprehend complex street addresses.
