Random PSP questions and future developments

[NightArh]

PSP Firmware 6.0 will be released today?

[archman]

OMG I gotta see what happens here. 6.00 already? Seems like ofw is needed in the near future...
Nice job, Sony, anyway.

Ive just downloaded it then,

It appears to be the same, a few additions including the theme options have changed.

Arch gave me this link of an article showing that Gran Turismo PSP, will be a game with Full 60 FPS, have a look at the Video on the link,

I'm so gonna get this game! It looks totally NoS worthy don't it?

Just one q??? is it playable in online infrastructure mode? or ad/hoc only?

[archman]

Only ad-hoc.
NoS?

[KIGO1987]

Yep just ad-hoc. I thought that Arch mentioned this before somewhere.

[archman]

I did. But anyway, games mostly don't come with infrastructure option, which is a shame. Only fps and action games come with one.

[ACE-FLO]

I must have been baked when I read it first time Selective conscience and all that jazz

[KIGO1987]

You high atm Ace?

[ACE-FLO]

Nah, not getting high til next week. I'm fasting. Haven't been high for a few weeks now Ramadhan provides me with the perfect opportunity to detox and re-correct my tolerance in this regard!

I'm so lucky I don't suffer withdrawal symptoms like some ganja schmokers enjoying the clarity, actually!

So, to treat myself - I'm gonna get HD/Fury and Gran Turismo next month, hopefully!

FWIW, Gran Turismo PSP has gotten surprisingly low scores in recent reviews on major sites

So is there an Time Trial community associated with Gran Turismo? This seems like an area where a portable version of the franchise can still shine. The major complaints about it have related to the lack of online and lack of career mode.

[KIGO1987]

Theres alot of stuff to cram into those Tiny UMD's Frances. I think the reviewers where expecting a GT4 or GT2 sized game with all the same career modes n stuff. But the PSP version has a different approach from what ive seen on the video's. Still Gran Turismo PSP is a great addition for the Portable gaming world, and long over due as well.

Ive got a Uni mate who is on Ramadhan atm, i like to say to him would you like a slice of pizza that im eating. Which is a meatlovers pizza with bacon on it. (Yes Kigo is a bit of a **** in real life too. But all in good faith. He cant eat during the day along with any drinks as well.

But Ace if i travel to the UK, we should do some compression sessions and some Wipeout get some of the people around the UK too, rent out a hotel for a couple of days. Would be awesome XD.

[Mu5]

well, thats GT5 scored off my to-buy list.

What a joke/crap score :-

[archman]

At the first sight I'm a little disappointed, there's practically no game in it. Pretty bad graphics, but they run at awesome 60 fps. I remember when I was playing GT2. I played it for months, even that it had the worst graphics ever.
Also, there's some useless time-dependent shop, what's that?...
Limit of 4 cars per race = hmm, not that good...
There's just too much cars...what do I need 800 cars for?...
Drift Trial? Ha!
OK, I don't want to haste with the decision. If I'll have an opportunity to "try" the game, I'll definitely do it. Or at least I need to see more previews and reviews of this game. I'm not spending $30 on some crap. :/

[KIGO1987]

**** the reviewers,

Best to try this game before before we all judge it

[ACE-FLO]

That's what I say mate!!! Its' playability must be worth it surely!!!

I'm not spending $30 on some crap. :/

(besides - I thought you didnt have to buy games - ever!!!)

[archman]

?!?!?!? I buy the games I like.

[ACE-FLO]

Um, doesnt make any sense coz how can you say you aren't gonna buy it if you havent even tried it yet??? I thought you get the games first (via dubious means) then if you like em, you buy em right??? Well, Gran Turismo for PSP gets a release in like 9 or 10 days so um... Ahem, are you saying you've played it already???

[archman]

Sure thing, I never buy games if I didn't play em for some time first. I'm not wasting my money.
No, I never tested GT. I will, if I'll have a possibility.
