You don't need OFW 6.0 for the Peace Walker demo. 5.55 works fine.

The game reminds me of Portable Ops done RIGHT. Much better control with better visuals and smoother animation.

Did you ever beat Portable OPs? I remember you were trying to hook it up to a TV just so that you can control it a little better.

Me, I just gave up after the first boss. Dragging prisoners back to the truck got boring real fast. The crappy controls/camera didn't help matters.

The only HD rpgs this gen are going to be coming from Tri-ace & SE + L5's WKS franchise & Namco's Tales franchise. Every other rpg developer is dead or on DS. Though Atlus will join the big boys one day.

I'm so utterly out of the loop these days. Few questions.

1. Has Sony shown everything they have to reveal for TGS? Or are there going to be more announcements? As far as I know, the best thing that came out of the keynote was FF8 on the PSN. Could someone post a recap of the keynote if it's really over?

2. Is Square Enix going to have a press conference? Or have they revealed all their TGS announcements as well?

3. Is Konami going to have a conference?

Actually I'm not sure if I'm out of the loop or if TGS is really just that shitty this year.

Got PSP™? Thinking of going digital with PSPgo?

With PSPgo Rewards you can download three much-loved, or totally new PSP titles for free, and put your new PSPgo to the test. Pick your favourites from a number of popular PSP titles. Get in on the action with Killzone™: Liberation or SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3. Give your reflexes a pounding with WipEout® Pure. Put your skills to the test with Everybody’s Golf™ or echochrome™. Give your brain a workout with Buzz!™: Brain Bender or Master Quiz. Or get quirky, with LocoRoco™ or Patapon™. There are seventeen titles to choose from in all, and the process is simple...

1. Unwrap your shiny new PSPgo and start it up

2. Connect to PlayStation®Network and activate your new or existing PlayStation Network account for PSPgo Rewards

3. Start up your current PSP and connect to PlayStation Network

4. Login using the same PlayStation Network account , and launch PlayStation®Store

5. Pop one of your UMDs into the drive of your current PSP and register on PSPgo Rewards when prompted

Unless it reads your IP/something off your system, couldn't you theoretically keep making new accounts and getting 3 games?

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #142 on:** September 24, 2009, 10:59:36 AM »

PlayStation LifeSyle’s TGS 2009 Predictions

* 250GB PS3 Bundles Revealed
* Gran Turismo 5 World Wide Release Date Announcement (though not WW)
* PS2 games/Dreamcast games on the PS Store (lol)
* Last Guardian Info - Possible Gameplay Trailer (new trailer. gameplay? not so much)
* Motion Controls Ready for Spring/Summer
* PS3 Motion Control “Minis” Similar to PSP “Minis” (lol)
* Heavy Emphasis on 3rd Party RPG support (lol)
* New Sony RPG(s) (lol™)
* Yakuza 3 Western Release Date (?)
* New PSP Games Unveiled (?)
* Multi PSP Go colors for Japan only

Quite a few of those came from a Sega leaked meeting minutes. What made you think some of them weren't correct?

This won't be a problem as long as Sony allows the GO to be cracked.

Forget about repurchasing games. Most PSP gamers don't purchase games, period.

People buy PSPs for free games. It's incredibly arrogant for Sony to think otherwise.

If this is facetious, you forgot the rolleyes tag. If this is serious, you've forgotten that Sony is putting a non-removable, non-user-serviceable battery in for the stated reason that it will prevent (or make it much more difficult) jailbreaking of the PSP.

It's a copy of a flash game, not Braid. Braid took a lot of ideas from various flash games. The mechanic of time copies is also kinda popular now I guess since there is Time Donkey, the new Ratchet game, and an indie game (that won a prize a year or so ago, just forgot the game) that use it. But yeah, it's pretty old and it's no surprise that whoever is behind the Echo-whatever games copied it too. Even as a complete rip, it already looks more fun than Echochrome. That game looked cool but ended up so damn boring.
