  1. It would not take much. 95% of sony's revenue is gone. They have to run the company on 5% with a money losing product. If it goes bad, investors will pull away, sell shares, and a take-over could be in order. It happened to other companies before.
  2. I really wanna get through the plot. Right now I know temple 7 awaits and I wanna see what it looks like, and also I wanna know Item 7. 6 was kinda cool but it's no 4. (Also, I wish there was a 4 and 5 combo.)
  3. Spoilers dud, spoilers. And well, I'm still at the Owl statue part...
  4. Well, I want to simply restate that it will be harder for Nintendo to emulate many different hardware where as sony only has to emulate hardware that is mostly included in the PS3. Also, PS1 titles are playable on the PS3, I can't find where to fit my NES carts on a Wii...
  5. There is one puzzle that had me wanting a faq/walkthrough. But after aboun an hour I figured it out. And in Temple 5 I took a breather and came back and figured out the solution by accident. Now I just wanna redo boss 4...
  6. Sorry I can't bring up actual facts, but Wikipedia is not blocked at work and well, it does include some info. Units sold 88,400[4] (as of November 13, 2006) According to this anyway: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/745/745507p1.html Like I said, I could not validate this information.
  7. While the PS3 may succeed, it's a dangerous gambit. If they don't make enough money from software sales, the production costs are gonna hit them hard. After the RMA and batteries fiascos, Sony no longer has a thick cushion for the first year or so. If it does not go perfectly, investors will start looking for a way out.
  8. Oh, and watch out for the Temple 5 miniboss. He is not as easy as the miniboss he refers to. In fact, he got me a3 times before I figured him out.
  9. I'm just saying that if Evilhead can feel better about himself by trolling the Wii thread, maybe I should try to have some fun trolling the PS3 thread with similar results. Especially after I mentionned yesterday that I was gonna have fun "emulating" his type of posts. Kinda like the Okami thing all over again. Not only do I point out that I am gonna troll, I tell it to the people I am gonna troll. And they still fall for it.
  10. Yeah, that one was a bitch, but try to get through it, or you will cry when you figure out part two of temple 5.
  11. I am drawing out the argument because it's fun to me, to act like a jerk. Plus you react exactly like I knew you would. You are acting in defense of Sony exactly how some people act to defend Nintendo. For someone claiming that it's fun being a jerk, evilhead, you don't seem to enjoy it when someone else does it. Now, did you get the lesson or do I have to start again using wildly idiotic arguments and to wait and see you respond with attempted logic? I mean, we all know only nintendo fanboys are that stupid...
  12. Your arguments are pretty dumb. I'm arguing like Evilhead. This is where he would reply "Oh, since I am attacking your beloved company, you resort to personal insults. You are really grasping at straws here. You Sony fanboys are all the same. Say something other than positive remarks abouta Sony idea and you all get defensive and use insults to get your point across. I'm having so much fun with all of you it's incredible."
  13. Hmmm... People bought PSPs to play NES games... Heck, using a Linux emulator, they are play NES games on the PS3. And none of these dozen emulators get a 100% emulation simply because of the architechture of the N64. Research it a bit, you will find out that some games supplied their own chips to make it work. Kinda like the SNES starfox. Also, if the 5$ port included new content, then you would have a point. The 40$ port feels like a game on its own. But you would not know that since you are talking out of your ass. Yes, Nintendo sold ports of NES games. However, you seem to repeat every 5 minutes that companies are in this for the money, and that if people buy it, then it's okay. I think you said that about the PS3's price. But I guess you would not know how hypocritical that makes you... And please, do tell me what changed in between Grand Turismo 1 and 4, you still drive a car, do some races, and buy some other cars.
  14. And how is it cheaper if you have to buy a 600$ piece of hardware? As for the N64 roms, well, I'll just put a N64 cardridge in my Wii seeing as it's the same medium. The PS3 is supposedly 100% backwards compatible. Therefore, any game available from previous consoles can be played on it without needing any form of adaptation. It's a basic download an image and use it to emulate a CD player. It does not need any additional programing and is an extremely simple process. It cannot afford to be more expansive than pawn shop games simply because Sony does not make money from these. The 8-bit and 16-bit hardwares are rather easy to emulate, but they will need a decent amount of work. The N64, with its games that used on-board processing and some pretty unique and amazing little technological feats will recquire that much more work. The price of a product also includes the work needed to do it. Cutting and pasting an image and emulating a CD is a simple job. Writing an emulator for hardware as complex as the N64 is not. And finally, to come back on that Super Mario 64 "port," seeing as you dismissed the subject like you often do when you may be wrong. I just want to ask again, how is it a port if it includes 3 additional characters, modified levels, added bonus levels, and over 20 minigames? You do know that you also start playing using Yoshi and you have to unlock other characters? It was not like that on the N64, you know it. However you call it a port because it serves your purpose. By you definition, every sports game would be ports. Oh, Grand Turismo 4? Its a port of Grand Turismo 1. I mean, it's the same game with added cars and different tracks.
  15. Oocca, you will understand by temple 4. Anyway, I always concidered the earlier zeldas to be the least accurate, seeing as we were playing older legends. Picture the Zelda series being told in the present. The older the game, the more omissions and alterations will happen. Also, by temple 6 TP, you will understand more about the world. As for technology, well, the Water and the Fire temple from OoT were pretty advanced. I will say this though, Oh, and temple 5 will show you a precursor to some tech in WW. It still does not explain what happened post WW to have about 8 games without any of these elements in them, but I am guessing the crusade thatled to Ganon's curse kinda left the world in shambles. NO THIS IS NOT SPOILER, its theory based on information in other games.
  16. Apparently Sony is working on a way to let you get ps1 games to psp without a PS3. I'm up for that...because I won't be getting a ps3 for a long while. Looking forward to it. Yeah, I'm guessing that it would be best with the PS3 because you could download several PS1 games on to your PS3 HD, play them there, and when you want to, upload them to your memory stick and play them on your PSP. Sony is probably assuming not everyone has a 4 gig memory stick, and being able to download the games to your PC would be just too easy for software pirates (although I don't see the PS3 to PSP method being very secure either). Still, it would be nice to make it possible for people without PS3s to download the games directly to their PSPs. 3 Steps of Evilhead: 1: "Sony charges less for its downloadable content to the PS3." 2: "Sony only charges more for games that are downloadable to the PSP through the PS3" 3: "Sony should make these same games playable on both the PSP and PS3." So which is it Evilhead? Cheaper limited content or expensive content available in many pawn shops?
  17. By the end of dungeon 3, you care for Midna. I think that review was don for the first hour of teh game, because, sincerly, it failed to notice the OMFG SPOILERS and the wolf form.
  18. I have a hard time seeing Super Mario 64 as a port, seeing as they added 3 playable characters, 30 stars, and changed the stages around a bit, and included about 25 minigames... But I guess in evilhead land, that's a port...
  19. AAAARGH. You should really spoiler tag that How was that spoiler ? Anything that would make you go "holy shit so awesome" if you hadn't known about it beforehand I'd say is a spoiler. People underestimate plot points to be the only thing that can be spoiled in games. Trust me, once you see it, you will know how little I said.
  20. I mean, Link was a wolf ever since the series started you know...
  21. Temple 6 done, onward to 7. Oh and for once being sick has its perks. Temple 6 is a nice little throwback to a previous zelda that shall go unmentioned. Actually, to 2 zeldas...
  22. Items 4 and 5 makes this a very unique game as far as zeldas go.
  23. AAAARGH. You should really spoiler tag that How was that spoiler ?
  24. Sweet! I hadn't thought of that ability. Too bad a lot of emulators for Linux (ZSNES, ePSXE) are wrote with code specific to x86 machines that won't work on the PS3 Hmmm... why would you need a PSX emulator on a PS3?
  25. As with every zelda, past stories are explored through mythology. However, the exposition clues us to post MM pre TP. That could be interesting.
