Last-Gen Console Discussions (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii) · Computer / Video Games Discussion

Shadow_King -

I do not know if this has already been discussed about, could not find it anywhere.

So i read this article that Wii has announced a "Help feature" with there games, so basically if you are at a part in the game which you find difficult all you have to do is pause the game and click on help and then let the game take over to complete the level.

http://www.sync-blog.com/sync/2009/06/nintendo-confirms-secret-help-feature.html - Here is the link if anyone is relaly interested in reading it.

I think its pretty much a bad idea to do this, takes all the fun away from playing games.

Smasandian Smell the Ashes

I don't think so.

It's gamefaqs on the game. It's entirely optional but if somebody would like to use they can.

There are some games where the puzzles are natural and sooner or later you will figure them out.

And there are games out there that are the opposite direction where the puzzles are ass backwards.

Overall, its a good thing. I would use it if I needed too.

Bluesteel Wanted Dead or Alive

Ugh too long thread to read it all, so I will just ask about it instead.

Is it possible to make a PS3 region free for BLU RAY playback?

I know some movies are not locked, and I know that like 99% of the games are region free. but thing is im getting a PS3 from overseas to europe and I would love to be able to rent blu ray movies and play them directly from the PS3 instead of my computer.

got me a stand alone region free DVD player so im not interested in unlocking that.

So possible to unlock PS3 for BLU RAY playback?

Wii has pretty much been owning the war so far.

PS3 is doing well against the 360 except in US, and has been accelerating sales. Evenso, PS3 is doing worst.

Now, with the Wii's new library of games and Project Natal, the PS3 looks like it's going to lose. Thank god.

It has impressive sales.

In total, Wii has 50 million, 360 has 30 million and PS3 only has 22 million.

And Wii will dominate once New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M are released. And probably in 2011, we'll see Pikmin 3, an F-Zero Wii, StarFox Wii and a new Zelda. Which will end the competition as we know it.

Nemesis X Cynical Tyrant

Wasn't there an E3 announcement from Sony that the PS3 will have a Wii-mote looking controller and you can use it like a Wii-mote?

umm no, until they get more different titles than the core titles they won't. and so they have a more consoles sales, what about the games excluding the solid nintendo titles? so sorry you ain't getting what you want. you can have the most sold ones but that doesn't mean nothing if you games are mostly casual games that barely sale.

It had impressive sales, however Wii sales have significantly dropped in the past few months, and it does not have great sales in terms of games, because of the fact that it has so many casual games.

Those games will not end competition. Yes, they'll be nice for the more hardcore gamers that have a Wii, but most of the casual gamers will not go for them, and they're the group that make up 90% of the people who own the system.

Meanwhile, PS3 sales are finally picking up and they've been selling the most recently. Honestly, it was due to happen eventually; most everyone has a 360 and Wii already, so what's left? I still don't see the point in getting a PS3 myself, but whatever.

I do believe that this year, with the exclusion of the Wii, is really showing a death of exclusive games. Last week while at work, my manager and I were comparing the coming soon lists for the 360 and PS3, and I think we were able to count on one hand how many exclusive titles both systems had. That I can recall, the 360 had Halo ODST and Mass Effect 2, and the PS3 had Uncharted 2, MAG, and God of War III. Almost everything is cross-platform now.

You can't really say "Probably" as a means of saying why a console is better than any others.

You can say metroid M will be a big hit, but didn't the latest Metroid sell horribly? Despite the greatness of the game?

Nintendo also did basically nothing to market or advertise MP3, though, which certainly didn't help it any.

Although Starfox Wii would be ridiculous.

Not that "Starfox Adventures" crap though.

its sad that a good game like MP3 had the potential but Nintendo just had to take a chance with faith.

I've been in that boat for a long time, but I've noticed that the PS3 is getting some interesting games, The Last Guardian and Heavy Rain are two games that have really caught my attention and might push me over the edge towards getting a PS3.

Metroid Prime 3 sold over a million, folks! It broke no records but that's damn healthy, and for a Wii game that isn't Mario, a minigame compilation or sports sim it's extremely good indeed.

They ddin't advertise it enough but it did get its own exclusive Wii channel in the lead up to release. More than Nintendo have done for most games.

a whole alot of games get millions, but that isn't enough if the whole library isn't even keeping up.

Cosmic Cube I don't have any friends.

So true. That was a dipshit move that short-changed the franchise.

Other M is gonna blow my mind. (among other things) I can't wait.
