Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

LOL! I meant that do you use all 3 PS3's to game on in the different rooms?

Yeah, I do. I have one in the living room on the 67" tv I use when company comes over for games and movies about 50/50. I have one in the computer room where I spend a lot of time on the computer and I play games mostly on that one while I am doing things on the computer. I don't watch movies too much on that one but sometimes throw on something like Die Hard in Blu-Ray to watch while playing computer games. Then the one in the bedroom is for mostly watching movies. I do play games there but usually it's downloading games in the background and then trying them out to see if I want to buy them or not. I also use all three to play music when I'm cleaning or doing chores so I love the media hub aspect of the PS3 as well.

So each of them have their own role and some get used more as game players while others get more use as the movie player.

That does sound like a sweet set up.

Can you log into the PSN from 2 or more different ps3's at once? Like how you mentioned can you download a demo in your bedroom while playing the Show online in your computer room?

Funny you ask that because until tonight i've never had a chance to check that aspect out. However tonight I did login to the PS3 upstairs and when I woke up the controller the kids had used it downstairs so it woke up the PS3 downstairs (which is amazing considering it's so far away and on a different floor that the controller works that far away) and it immediately said I was logged out of the PS3 network as I had logged in from a different location. So I guess the answer is no.

Killzone 2 “Behind the Bullet” Interactive Demo Available Today

By now you’ve probably seen the Killzone 2 TV commercial, called “Bullet,” which uses the advanced in-game engine of Killzone 2 and the PLAYSTATION 3 to bring the game’s incredible detail to life. For anyone who hasn’t seen the commercial, you can view it here .

As I hinted in my previous blog post, we want you to get a glimpse of the technology behind the game with a playable version of the commercial, codenamed: “Killzone in 4-D.” I’m happy to announce that as of the PlayStation Store update today, you will be able to go to PSN and download the interactive demo officially titled “Behind the Bullet.” This demo will provide an inside look at the making of the commercial, enabling you to take control and slow down the action, move the camera axis and pivot, hear audio commentary from multiple selectable sources such as the art director or technical director at Guerrilla Games, and utilize a variety of buffers and filters to see how every single frame of the commercial was created using the game engine technology. As you will see, everything is directly rendered on a PS3 without the need for additional tweaking or touching up. Simply put: “what you see is what you get.”

Once again, I would like to congratulate Guerrilla for developing not only one of the most visually stunning games ever, but one of the best gameplay experiences to date. The team is excited over this opportunity to show how the art and technology for a project of this magnitude comes together. We hope you enjoy interacting with the demo and thank you again from all of us at PlayStation for making Killzone 2 such a great success.

FLOCK! Arrives on PSN on April 9!

OK, OK. I know I’ve been M.I.A. lately. You also may have noticed that I haven’t been on my PS3 in a while playing SF4. Well, life’s been hectic but exciting, and any free time has been spent catching up on sleep (I promise to catch up on all my PS3 messages, sorry)!

The real reason I’m here, and it’s not to keep you updated on my life, is to let you know that next Thursday, FLOCK! finally arrives on PSN. Soon you’ll be able to manipulate cute, cuddly animals with the help of your trusty UFO. You don’t even have to be in a farm to flock sheep, Capcom is giving you the ability to do this in the privacy of your own home. You can even call a friend over and flock.

If you’ve never herd of FLOCK! before, here’s a video with the beautiful Veronica Belmont and one the folks at Capcom going over some of the cool features in the game (I’m loving the outfit Veronica!).

<object classid="clsid<param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/13e9b55" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/13e9b55" width="437" height="265" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler" ></embed></object>

Did I mention trophy and in-game XMB music support? Another cool feature is the level editor where you can create your own plushy environments and share them online. There’s also a rating system where you can praise the brilliant work of others, or pan some of the more awkward levels that are made available (Giving fans creative freedom is not always a good thing).

So, if you’ve been keeping up with my blogs, I’ve been hinting for months about a cool surprise for PSN gamers this year. Well, stay tuned. I’m ready to talk about it at the end of the month.

Oh and finally, comment number 200 gets a free, redeemable token of FLOCK! and a copy of Street Fighter 4 (No spamming allowed. If you post two times in a row and hit number 200, the prize goes to the next person. Send me a PM to my PSN ID and give me your address to get your prize.).

Man I still don't own a game for my ps3.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

What are you waiting for? Get your Killzone 2 on.

Might I say that you need to do the same.

I played the demo and didn't like it that much.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

True that. I've been tempted many a time but haven't pulled the trigger, I'm trying to save as much money as possible right now in case I can't find a job right after graduation.

Once I get that next paycheck, though, my willpower may finally break.
