Ah Evangelion drama.

[Bulleta©™®]

Anyone play 3rd Strike? I can't get GGPO to work (can get kailleraiaaiaiara or whatever to work though).

[iconoclast]

Works fine for me. Do you have the necessary files in the rom folder? You need both sfiii3.zip and sfiii3n.zip

[Bulleta©™®]

Yeah, my connection is the problem. Firewall, whatever, so it won't work on ggpo.

[iconoclast]

You can try Supercade too, it's pretty similar to GGPO but it's lacking in players. Kaillera isn't so good from my experience, but I can't even remember the last time I used it.

[Purple Filth]

Yeah, my connection is the problem. Firewall, whatever, so it won't work on ggpo.

You have to set some ports to get it running or whatever

it's all about asuka

I don't disagree. Also, Souryuu > Shikinami

reporting every evangelion shit i see.

[Joe Molotov]

- Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love didn't meet expectations sales-wise
- SCEA rejected Sakura Wars 1+2 PSP so it's never coming over

Never has been more appropriate.

Yeah, I'm too stupid w/ computers to know how to do that stuff. :/

http://portforward.com/  --> pick your router then pick anything there (say Xbox 360 Live) and from there replace X360 ports with GGPO.

Open UDP ports 6000-6009 (inbound/outbound) and TCP port 7000 (outbound) in your home network. GGPO uses these ports to communicate with the matchmaking server and with other players on the internet.

Well they do get sales.

The interface in this game is a near perfect rip 

[Don Flamenco]

if someone could make something more accessible than Monster Hunter and less boring than Phantasy Star Portable, that would be nice.

[magus]

monster hunter 3 on the wii is accesible
if anything it would be cool if japan realized only japanese people like to play adhoc

I think there's a market for a MH game with good controls and FF bosses.

I think it looks good actually.  Doesn't look like you get stagged all to hell all the time, and you can jump around and slash.

So I stumbled across this project called "The Epic of Zektbach" which seems like it a group of Beatmania composers who made music to an imaginary story or something.  I dunno.  Konami sells the cd.  Anyone the music is pretty good!  There seem to be 2 versions of the songs.  One beatmania style synth and one by the Asian Philharmonic Orchestra.

wtf you can do a richter playthrough in like 15-20 min.

Really?  I thought I was looking at playing through the entire game again from scratch.  I'll probably do that then.

random question, but is there a specific reason that MLAA is almost a buzzword now on gaf? lately I've been seeing it everywhere and mostly when talking about PS3 games. 

[fistfulofmetal]

i spent 20 minuts jumping to a system that has ore i need to mine. i wasnt sure about the sector so i brought my ship with guns on it and mounted one of my miners on it.
i get there and its pretty safe so i dont need the guns. so now i would be much better to have my mining ship with two miners on it and a huge cargo hold.


but that ship is a total of 39 jumps there and back

PS3 exclusive of course...for now

Killzone 3D...360p,doesn't matter,it has MLAA...woohoo

Good tech actually,but not without problems...it doesn't like thin geometry,still screenshot quality enhanced greatly...motion not so much

[Smooth Groove]

It's basically the blast processing of this gen. 

The developing community hasn't really explained MLAA in detail but of course the fanboys all think it's some kinda miracle solution that can be activated with a switch and anyone who doesn't use it, i.e. RDR team, is lazy. 

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-saboteur-aa-blog-entry

[Bebpo]

The only game I've played with MLAA is The Saboteur on PS3 and sure there weren't many jaggies but the NON-STOP SCREEN TEARING made it so the game looked like shit anyhow.

[Bebpo]

And Killzone 3 is 360p what?  I give up on HD console gaming this gen.

[The Sceneman]

Mega Man 10 and After Burner Climax are 400 points each on XBLA this week.

If you dont get them at that price you need an enema

yeah, that's exactly it.  All I see is "oo does this have mlaa?" "I hope this game uses mlaa  " etc etc.  it's really weird.

that said, I wish there was a magic AA solution because my hopes of the 360 version of Naruto UNS2 not being an aliased mess like the first PS3 game have been crushed.

when it's played in 3D, I think

I want to buy ABC, I just need to get some xblah points.

[Bebpo]

I think MLAA in that comparison (Saboteur) looks a little worse on PS3 w/MLAA.  The textures look muddy and lacking detail and clarity.  Not having jaggies is nice, but if it damages the picture quality as a result I'd rather have jaggies.

[Smooth Groove]

MLAA is not really needed if the GPU is fast enough.  I read somewhere that MLAA actually adds some lag because of the processing being done on the CPU instead of the GPU.  It's just that in the PS3's case, the RSX is so weak that MLAA might actually make be more effective sometimes. 

Based on my years of tweaking IQ on PC games, I think that Supersampling AA is still the best looking method but it's awfully resource-demanding.   Nvidia's new 32x and 64x CSAA methods for Fermi aren't exactly equivalent to supersampling but they come very close.  Add a little supersampling for just transparencies and the picture is almost perfect. 

[cool breeze]

wait, is MLAA similar or the same thing as edge aa in Crysis?

[Smooth Groove]

I don't know but dark1x says that the blur in GOW3 is even more impressive than the blur in Crysis DX10.  I really do miss that filthy, biased sfag beast. 

Can someone please ask him to come back?  He's still been posting at GAF recently, right?
