FFTSW and almost dying is what happened. Then they got Yoichi Wads, a conservative businessman as president whose main priority is always in profit. Of course now SE is as the point where if they don't release FF regularly they'll die.

Then again that is half their fault for failing to continuing to craft successful new ip's, so fell into a loop they themselves created by playing it safe. We can only hope the new SE president brings us back to a time when SE were experimental but I fear they've ran off almost half their talented staff.

[Don Flamenco]

Dew Prism sounds vaguely like an euphemism for something sexual.

"I gave my gf a dew prism last night, and she won't return my calls."

same thing happened to me after I gave my girl a Bumpy Trot

Yes, and they're also crazy bloated and prone to bad management practices, like many Japanese companies. The boat is sinking, and the only advice you'll hear is "Don't make waves!"

Haha, that was an awesome title too. Instead we got Steambot Chronicles, snoooooooore.

Hey, man, the bumpy trots are nothing to joke about.

I think to this day the original PlayStation is the classiest looking console.



Imagine this with a more modern paint finish with no controller ports, eject, reset, and power made small LED buttons along the front panel and a wii esque disc tray that glows blue.

I want to make a mock up of that when I get home.

[Raban]

Nah, son.

Pure class.

[Himu]

Meh.

[Raban]

[Himu]

It looks like a toy to me. When I think of classy I don't think of toys. Don't be too mad. I feel the same way about the PS one design, ps2, slim, 3, 3 slim, AND 3 ghetto slim.

Ps1 og looks like a stereo player from the late 90's ignoring the controller ports. I like how that blends with the rest of the entertainment cab so for that reason I think the original wii, wii u, xbox 360 slim, ps1 are the best designed consoles in terms of looks. I don't like it when consoles look like toys (snes, PS one, gc) unless it is a handheld.

[Raban]

Your description of the PS1 reminds me of the old prototype Sony made for the system. What do you think of this?

I think it looks like a CD player with controller ports.

[Himu]

It does.

[Sho Nuff]

That is some mad shit, I've never seen that mockup before

You can really see its Nintendo collaboration origins in that controller design.

[Don Flamenco]

That exists somewhere, probably 


edit: like in physical, working form i mean

You think that is classy and the PS2 slim looks like a child's toy? 

 

[cool breeze]

The psone looks nice.  Most consoles look kinda bad compared to other tv electronics.  It's a good thing that doesn't matter much.

[Joe Molotov]

I never liked the original PSOne design much, and pop-top CD trays are and will forever be crap. Slot loading 4 life.

[Don Flamenco]

the Pamela Anderson game is more playable than I thought it would be. 

mainly because the combat is like the easiest QTEs ever--




so it's a QTE-based beat em up with some Hogan's Alley sections...on rails.  that's the safest game design I've ever seen.

the opening cut scene seems like the set up for a porn movie

[Joe Molotov]

VIP's entire existence was like a set up for a porn movie. In fact, I think I might have seen something on Showtime once...

[Don Flamenco]

Anyone played this?  The Divide: Enemies Within --



the two amazon reviews called it a metroid clone.  i think ill check it out

edit:
yeah, sounds like yet another hidden gem:

I cannot believe that a game like VIP actually exists.

[Don Flamenco]

i like how the doctor is doing surgery in his house while wearing some casual ware.  i like to imagine he's actually the bad guy, the dudes in black are the CIA, and the girls are great fighters, but too dumb to scrutinize their customers.

[Great Rumbler]

I like how she goes on the mission wearing a party dress and high-heels and carrying a giant purse.

[demi]

rate my library, guys.



* 3 not shown are Kings Field, Kings Field 2 and Overblood, sorry

[Himu]

[Positive Touch]

[Himu]

Do you have Suikoden II in it?

[demi]

Ok.

[demi]

Legend of Dragoon has a pretty dope boss theme

I'm not concerned. You will sell that stuff off when you need money again. Just PM me. Lol.

[Positive Touch]

i still will sell it, im just so damn lazy

[Joe Molotov]

I wish I still had Suikoden II, but I sold it and 1 for $200 a few years back when I needed the cash.

I had a lot of rare Japan-only Squaresoft games

[Don Flamenco]

i'm buying this ps1 shit, if anyone is selling. 


tobal 2 quest mode is hard as fuck.   love how the game has randomized tripping on back dash...it's like they knew i killed the first game on my first try in 15 years by backdash timer scamming. 

[Diunx]

Threads of Fate and Brave Fencer Musashi are the superior action rpgs.

*daps*

How is the musahi sequel by the way?

[DCharlieJP]

Long since did the Treesong and nuked PS1 (well, i popstationed everything and then sold it).

Have a fee straggling titles but nothing exceptionally rare.

Was good selling off Harmful Park, LSD, Gaiaseed etc - good
Money to be had there

Is it random? I recall it was the same as backdash stumble settings per character. Then you can unlock characters in the dungeon such as Sylph (or was it Dryad?) which was the same as Gren, but with no backdash stumble.

seemed random, unless it's like a running tally that stumbles you each time you backdash a certain amount of times.   

in that case, I want that char because I use Gren!

also, aside from shmups and namco fighters, Tobal 1+2 are the only 60fps 3D ps1 games I can think of.

Damn bro, if I were next to you I'd brofist you so hard right now we'd both break our wrists. PS1 is pure class with it's amazing design. It looks like a boss.

-Ridge Racer Type 4 RR1 60 FPS bonus disc
-Gran Turismo had a 60 FPS mode
-Toshinden 3 had a 60 FPS mode
-Motorhead

[DCharlieJP]

are the only 60fps 3D ps1 games I can think of.

Not only is internal section 60fps and 3D - it also runs in high res mode

[bork]

Thought that game was crap back in the day.   :'(  Maybe I should check it out again.

thanks for reminding me!   

just got it at a ridiculous price:

[Don Flamenco]

someone sell me the psone LCD screen at a decent price please   

i'll do more write ups of weird ass ps1 games. 

[Don Flamenco]

Ore No Ryoushi has mod/region protection.   My legit copy won't boot with a boot disc.   

Let me know if you're still interested in a copy Himuro

[Himu]

I'm going to be playing via emulator so no big.

[Diunx]

Anyone used one of these before?

[archnemesis]

Wouldn't it be easier to just use a PS3 controller?

[Himu]

Or a 360 controller?

[Diunx]

don't own any of those consoles but this is 5 and already have a couple of dualshock 2

I've used something like this AGES AGO, under Win2K. Mine had drivers, so I'm not trusting that the "plug n play" aspect of your featured item is legit, but then again I know dick-all about PnP under Win, so...

[Rufus]

I have two PS1/2 adapters and neither of them requires drivers. I think in most cases you only need drivers to make the rumble work, the other functions work just fine with whatever generic drivers Windows has.

[chronovore]

Good to know, thanks.

Like I said, my experience with it was prolly before the PnP stuff was ironed out.

[Don Flamenco]

I can't sell it to you then.   I don't support hardware piracy.  Kutaragi-san worked hard to build the Playstation 1 and had to fight tooth and nail to defeat Reggie-chan and Gates-chan.   All his efforts will be for naught if I sell a pirate this game.

jk, i'll PM you when the other copy comes in.

edit:  the ability to transfer saves back and forth between PS1, PS3, and Vita is pretty fucking great. 

[cool breeze]

any here play X-files on PS1?



It's the only game I don't recognize.  I've been curious about it for years.
