Not working, but I have a fat PS2 that hopefully still works. Can't try it out yet because I lost the AC cord and the new one's on its way.

This plus Burnout 3 not recognizing my Sony memory card

Isn't the slim's cord compatible? They're all the same if I remember correctly.

I'm surprised that Until Dawn isn't a complete turd

I was watching sodapoppin play it, it looks fucking awesome. Will definitely play it when I get a ps4. Made me want to get around to playing Heavy Rain.

Nah, fat is 2 prong rectangular shape while slim is a singular circle. However, the fat's cord works with the PS1 and Dreamcast as they're all the same.

I bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 less than half a day before it went on sale.

Those six dollars lost will haunt me forever.

Rented Until Dawn from Redbox and finished a playthrough. Just got back from returning it. It wasn't too bad but I wouldn't play through it again. There are parts where you have to keep your controller absolutely still or else you'll be caught and possibly killed. That happened to me and was so frustrating because of where I was at in the game.

It also happened when What We Do in the Night went on sale for $10, but then a week later was a 99¢ rental on iTunes.

Playing Rocket League @ 60 fps on PC vs. 30 fps on PS4 is making me really see the value of 60 fps.

The game feels more fluid and there's more immediacy to the controls. It feels more responsive whereas on the PS4 input feels slightly delayed.

A stable 30 fps is fine I think for games, but I see why people push for 60 fps. It makes for a better game.

I hate fucking with games with heavy player momentum and input lag like Killzone 2 and GTAV @ 30 fps. That shit sucks.

I thought Rocket League was 60FPS on PS4? The videos I've seen of it on PS4 make it look like framedrop and screen tear city but I would have thought it would be 60.

GTA V at 60FPS is an absolute dream to play though. Feels like a new game.

archnemesis · « **Reply #15553 on:** August 27, 2015, 06:07:29 AM »

The PS4 version of Rocket League is indeed 60 FPS. I haven't noticed any tearing (and I'm quite sensitive to the issue). There are some framedrops, but overall it runs really well. It's one of most polished games I've ever seen.

Purrp Skirrp · « **Reply #15554 on:** August 27, 2015, 02:02:53 PM »

My bad, I assumed it was 30 but it turns out it's mostly in the 40-50+ fps range.

Quote

We've tried a few levels, and it appears the Urban Central stage (at 02:22) runs the best, and gives the most solid 60fps experience. The rest of the levels fall into the 40-50fps range (even for 1v1 games), due to the more complex designs of the stadia.

Fifstar · « **Reply #15555 on:** August 28, 2015, 08:25:11 AM »

How is that game not running rock solid 60 fps on PS4? Are consoles that shitty this gen? Or poorly optimized? More complex designs of the stadia? Lulz.

Consoles weak as fuck. My i5 2500k and GTX 960 makes my e-peen bigger than Sony stans'. I max this game out @ a solid 60 fps.

I've been on a slew of game music downloading these past few days since I'll be DJing at a local retro game expo... but one thing I have been wondering. What's up with porn/lounge sounding music in quite a few mid 90's games?

That's basically the sound I associate with Japan during that time period.

Himu · « **Reply #15565 on:** August 29, 2015, 02:33:42 PM »

It could very well be tied to the rising popularity of Shibuya-Kei at that time period in Japan.

Also remember that Japan has a huge love affair with jazz.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #15566 on:** August 29, 2015, 02:44:53 PM »

Ninja Gaiden 3 was some weird, bad shit. NG3 Razor's Edge is actually a really fun character action game, tons of shit was changed. Enemy AI and aggressiveness was completely revamped, decapitation and gore was added back in, new weapons, new playable characters.

People that shit on Razor's Edge for the most part have never played it or don't know how much was changed. Its a completely new game just about.

GameTrailers let go of a large part of their staff a year ago (http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Pach-Attack-Longer-GameTrailers-Pachter-Looks-Home-66480.html) and I believe that was where most of the Pachter news was coming from.

NPD also stopped releasing actual numbers a while back and since then sales discussions in general has died down a bit.

Didn't play Infinity but whatever its quality, my understanding is that there were a lot of reused assets. Plus it being turned F2P means Namco has decided that the franchise didn't deserve the budget of a full game (not that there's other titles escaping that).

I have AC6 and a Xbox, I should hook that up once. Horizons was unplayable for me.

Well, I guess if we had any doubt though, Horizon confirmed that the trademark narm of the AC franchise was only palatable in the Strangereal universe. Horizon felt like the most boring USA jingoistic bullshit (from a Japanese dev
