the guncon that will be sold with TC4 will be orange.. well in Canada anyway..
You can only get it in black in Japan. It is either because of laws or just socio-political pressures in other regions where guns are feared or there are incidences of realistic looking toy guns being used that resulted in bad stuff. I know when I was a kid you could get very realistic looking guns, but then a few cases of kids with toy guns getting shot by cops who couldn't tell the difference changed all that.
the wii zapper doesn't look much like a gun, but it looks pretty cool.. it inspires me to draw it and make something else out of it..
I am still thinking I prefer the Nyko gun I posted above more, just because it is used in a more gun-like way.
Except games rated AO don't get official recognition or licencing from any of the 3 console makers, so it is as good as banned anyways.
Outside of the Manhunt 2 debacle I don't believe this has ever become a true problem. As AO is supposed to be the equivalent of an X-rating for movies I think this is a justifiable, voluntary, ban by the console makers. Just like Best Buy refuses to carry adult movies. And as AO can still be put on PC there is still a definite difference between the ESRB system in the US and the government controlled system in some other countries where it can just be blatantly banned/censored from being legally available in any form.
A game is not PS3 exclusive if it came out for another platform before it came out on the PS3. And there is a better chance at the Playstation Eye sucking than there is of it being good. Granted, I agree with you overall, but still.
Wait, which one(s) was on another system first? flOw? Unreal? Not being argumentative, just curious.
As for the Playstation Eye, I think its biggest strength will come from being a video chat device in a world where moving long distances for careers is common. So far the only game to truly catch my eye at the moment has been Creature Feature(?). It sounds like a fairly cool take on Lemmings. And then the stuff the R&D guys at Sony have been showing off looks promising.
Now, if I were still playing games like Magic: The Gathering I would have already bought it and be playing games with my friends from the comfort of my living room.
However, like the Wii Zapper, I would like to test this out before paying for it to test out the video editing abilities and whatnot. If/when I have kids I may get it just for the security camera feature so I can make my PS3 a nanny cam while I am at work.
Even if a PS3 magically materialized in my house (believe it or not, I'd be happy if one did), I'd only buy three, maybe four of the games on that list.
I have seven and I believe some of the PSN games are something that seem unappealing until you try them.
one I expect to be just as disappointing as its predecessor (GT5),
If you had a PS3 you would have played the demo of Prologue and found this expectation to be not as accurate as you may fear. Of course, until I at least play Prologue I cannot make a final judgment on this.
while the last one I've heard is simply excellent (F1:CE).
👍
Some of those games are quite a stretch for the label "good."
Some of them are definitely a love them or hate them kind of thing. Although, even though I do not like Motorstorm or Folklore from a pure game perspective they are good, just not my cup of tea. Heavenly Sword is another that falls into the good category, but it isn't worth the money for the length. I think it is definitely a must rent and after they initiate a Greatest Hits or I find a decent used price it will then become a must buy.
Which is why you must read everyone's POV on games. I find certain members I agree with more and so I take their advice more, but I still heed some of the warnings of people I don't always agree with.
By the way, the Zapper is "compatible" with anything that uses the WiiMote and Nunchuck. All it does is hold the two.
While this is true it kind of over-simplifies it I think. As compatibility for many games is determined by how reliant they are on the A-button, D-pad, 1-button, 2-button, and + - buttons. While it does just hold the two it does not do it in a way that has your thumb hovering over the face of the remote. If you are using a lot of time trying to reach around and push them it will make the game a lot more difficult. Most games that claim compatibility are ones that have a scheme that uses the analog stick, C-button, Z-button, and point and shoot with the B-button while ignoring most of the main remote face.
