You didn't want to play this with the controller that has "arguably superior triggers"?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that no custom soundtracks stuff. It's pretty dumb, considering how we are constantly reminded about the fact that every PS3 has a hard drive. That's completely inexcusable since the PS3 is the lead platform for this game.

You must have missed the thread where we talked about using the DS2 with an USB adapter. I've played Resistance with a DS2 so I know it works.

The new spin from Sony fans is that they're not really triggers. They say that they're mislabeled as triggers simply because the 360 joypad has triggers in the same positions.

Let me preface the enjoyment with this: I have yet to fail a race, so I haven't had to backtrack to restart one.

When I fail a race I just drive forward till I find a new one. It doesnt matter which races you complete to get license options. I suppose late game when you need to hit all the events up its more of an issue, but early on you have a lot to choose from.

Plus events reset at each licenses level, so youre never hunting around early on, and later on you'll know the town inside out.

Cool. I suspect this is how the devs envision the game to be played which is why they didn't just allow auto retries.
