At least the Vita gets it, I guess....?

I know a lot of people care about this, but for me it is a non issue. Why do people want to chat when they aren't even playing the same game?

It's become a non-issue with me as well. Get a wireless headset and Skype. Done.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

I just don't know why it took them this long to say it isn't possible to do. I don't care for the feature myself, but people have sure held onto hope for about four years to see this happen, only to finally be told (and have explained) why it can't.

The thing I care about the most for online is how the games play not the feature sets around them. Sure it's nice to have alot features but it doesn't really impact the the way I play games online. I use a headset from time to time but that's about it as I don't care about text chat rooms as I like to focus on the game and not be distracted. I think the most important feature in any online game is the party system and how it's implemented from game to game as some do it better than others.

I've had it for at least three years and have played it once. Don't like it and don't see what the obsession is.

That's just my opinion, however.

It is my perpetual sixth man. Best game on PSN.

Only once Moses? What was it that turned you off so quick?

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

What is it that turns everyone ON? lol

Maybe I'm just not too fascinated by racing games, or variations of the genre.

It's pretty fun doing the campaign stuff. I don't like/understand some of the event types like Zone and such, but it certainly gets my go for free (got the original version free on PSN and Fury as part of the Welcome Back program). I just got into Fury last night for the first time, so I was just wondering if anybody else had it, so maybe we could do some online races together or something.

Also, I noticed something really cool last night. The game allows you the option to play your custom music during races. I already knew this, but last night when I was idle from playing for several minutes, when I returned as the menu was playing the music beats, it was remixing my playlist along with the game's own beats as well. It was pretty cool to hear Foo Fighters - Rope with a certain beat along with it. What an interesting touch!

I was just curious because I have never heard anyone dislike it after such a short time playing it. But, if you don't like racing games, then I understand.

The custom soundtracks are awesome. Here is a link to one that is very electronic and very fitting for Wipeout.

BTW, Where were you at two years ago Blzer?

I tried so many times to get some races going on here, but I gave up.

Well, I remember my first posts ever about WipEout HD were for others to persuade me into buying the game itself. I never ended up buying it, but got it once it came free on PlayStation Plus. I played it a little bit, liked it enough to play a little more, did some online games, and eventually hit a stopping point when some races simply became impossible to beat.

Do you still have the game? Do you happen to have Fury as well?

Technically, I have them both. But, my HDD is filled at the moment. I will be getting a new 320 GB PS3 next month though, and I plan on re-downloading at that time.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Got it. Let me know when you want to play!

Now I'm sitting here, wondering why MLB Bobblehead Pros and Backbreaker: Vengeance don't want to arrive on my PlayStation system.

(I know Vengeance will only be available in Europe for PSN, but it hasn't came there yet either)

**LingeringRegime** · 08-22-2011, 07:02 PM

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

I most definitely will

Yeah, I want to get my hands on both of those games. Espeically BBV.
