Title: PS3 - One game only
Post by: Raz The Friggin Grea on January 08, 2008, 05:36:37 PM
So, as of Friday, I am going to purchase a PS3. I am only buying it mostly for the fact WB dropped HD DVD and Paramount is on the way out.  I am buying a few Blu-Ray (Prestige, Rescue Dawn, 3:10 to Yuma and another undecided). What is the one game I should get tho? Leaning towards Rachet and Clank.

One other question.

Going to run it HDM via HDMI TO DVI converter cable. How will I do audio? No 7.1, just plain 2.1 audio.
I mean, will I have any problem using that cable and then just running my audio with RCA (red/white) cables?

The next on my list is a receiver and surround sound. For the time tho\', that will have to do.

yes you can run video thru HDMI and just he the D-Terminals(cord it comes with) red and white cables to do the audio - after which if your surround sound receiver doesnt have hdmi u can do the optical out

its interesting that your hdtv only have DVI.  Same with my hdtv which only have DVI too.

How about use HDMI to DVI or a converter for the the tv, and runs the optical digital to the receiver then.

I\'d say Uncharted Drakes Fortune. I didn\'t really like R&C, but I only hired it and it only mainted my interest for half an hour or so.

It\'s an older HDTV  - About five years old, so it only has DVI.

I\'ll eventually get a new receiver, my last one died and I just never replaced it.

The only game I have is Uncharted, bought PS3 few days ago, and I\'m happy, enjoying it, but it depends from your personal taste...

I would say Uncharted, R&C, COD4, Assassin creed.

Don\'t forget you can download demos for most of the games mentioned here before you decide to buy.

i actually like spiderman 3 even though people talk crap about it. I still wouldve ommited those 2 and gotten uncharted. unless they were like 10 bucks each.

I enjoyed Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
It came with Spiderman 3 (which I hate)
And Uncharted looks boring, so I went with Rachet and Clank.

personally, i thought spiderman 3 is a lot better than Fantastic Four.  Of the many blu ray movies coming out, not sure why you pick up Fantastic Four over them.  For instance, like Ratatouille, or the Simpsons Movie...

Edit:  nevermind, I realized you said Fantastic Four came with PS3...

Post by: Viper_Fujax on January 11, 2008, 09:45:40 PM
oh the movies..my bad. i didnt know f4 was on blu ray.

Yea i hated spiderman 3. never got around to seeing rise of the silver surfer. I didnt mind the first one (for what it was), so id probably like that a lot more tha SM3

Rise of the surfer was pretty good....the way they did the surfer was perfect...i was kinda dissappointed with the way they did galactus tho...still overall it was a decent flick...

Well there were "technical" reasons behind Galactus\' look. The huge giant seems ok in comics, but in a movie, it might have looked stupid.

Hate Ratatoullie. Also hate the Simpsons. Will never own either.

And I never said Fantastic Four came with it. I said Spiderman came wth it.

So how is Thugstation 3 treating you?
Title: PS3 - One game only
Post by: GmanJoe on January 13, 2008, 07:34:47 AM
he hates it since he didn\'t get Drake.
Title: PS3 - One game only
Post by: Raz The Friggin Grea on January 13, 2008, 07:47:51 AM
I\'ll download the Drake demo, but it just does not look all that impressing. I\'ve read the reviews and everything about it just seems downright, painfully boring.

As for the Thugstation. Bluray playback is nice, thats about all I know. I\'ve had to work and all I\'ve done is hooked it up, watched part of a movie and turned it off.  Haven\'t even bothered to play Rachet and Clank.  May give it a whirl tonight. Maybe not.

The demo isnt a good indication of how the full game is though.. IMO the demo level even in the full game was the most boring part, the one right after (Fortress) kicked huge amounts of ass.

Finished Uncharted today, and I want to finish it again !  I\'ll wait some days and I\'ll play it again at ultra hard ! :D

I really enjoyed it, I like so much this kind of games, really well done! ...and the last part is so exciting ! Very good story !

I love Stardust, it`s even better after the update. I`d like to know what highscore people here have....I have about 47 000 000 in arcade, so I`m not that good but I still enjoy it and I always play a round while downloading something from PSN.

IF you like R&C type games (or others from the series) then tools of destruction won\'t dissapoint.  It has by far the most gametime for me of my PS3 games, some 50-60 hours now.
