simply amazing!!!!!! i own both a slim with cfw and a Go. im not worried if cfw isnt developed for it. the Go is just sooooo pretty. when i picked up the sealed box i thought wow this is heavy. when i took the system out of the box, the box still felt heavy and the psp didnt feel like anything. im not sure why, but the screen looks sharper, even though it is slightly smaller. the battery life is longer. the actual games seem to load quicker, most likely due to the lack of umd and instead the flash memory. only issue that i have is that even though sony states that this was developed for people who dont own psps, its a great way for them to resell games that people own and to cut out the middle man(retailers). i mean honestly most psp owners would trade up if it wasnt $250 and if they didnt have to rebuy their games and accessories.....or if they like the psp only because of cfw. i dont mind too much though because like i said earlier i still have my slim and i only use cfw for isos of games that i physically own and older systems games that i physically own. besides i could see sony offering some kind of conversion method if the Go doesnt sell well in the next few months. well i better Go to the store (yes that was supposed to be a pun). i still need to buy screen guards for it. later.
Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition Arcade Machine......Finally
Well, I finally received my Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition arcade machine. It needs some work but thats fine. Ive wanted one since I played it in the early nineties. I also want to get the switcher so I could install multiple jamma boards. Im looking to get the Konami Xmen game as well as the Konami Ninja Turtles. The switcher can hold up to 8 jamma boards. I wonder if I could still use the cps2/3 adapter with the switcher. I need to have my MvC2 and/or Xmen vs Street Fighter lol. I will post pics later. The marquee is cracked and there is some minor wear on the cabinet but overall, Im in love.
motion controller war.....maybe
well ive been thinking this same thing since last tuesday. after i saw ms' and sony's motion controllers, first thing that i thought was "wow, now that they have their version of the wiimote, nintendo has nothing but names like mario and zelda". then i started thinking of how different the controllers still are. i mean microsoft's isnt even a controller really. i like the idea but it isnt practical for games with swords, guns and the sort. maybe its just a preference of mine but if im shooting, slashing or whatever, i like actually feeling something in my hands. the controllerless idea is cool but for certain things.....and i think milo is strange and the start of the machines taking over (yes that was a bad joke and reference to skynet and terminator). the sony wand i thought was amazing, even if it makes me sound like a fanboy. the accuracy was insane. i just hope sony implements it better. third party companies could theoretically port or release motion games for all of the systems now. its going to make the "console war" a little more interesting seeing as how they took what made the wii unique, and made it their own. i know ea has already started to develop "Active" for the xbox and ps3. i will say that i doubt it would happen but i would hate to see nintendo go the route of sega. it sucks seeing sega only making games.
Another term down, any advice
So I finished another school term. I'm waiting on one more grade to come in but so far I have had straight A's each term. Its kind of hard keeping up the 4.0 but well worth it. To whomever may be reading this I am in school for game art and design. Unfortunately like all schools Westwood makes you take a bunch of classes that don't have anything to do with said program. You know, basics. Next term I have life drawing which is great. I cant wait to start with Maya though. I have always wanted to make games but I'm not too interested in the programing aspect as of right now. I prefer the art and modeling. Later after I graduate, I want to go back and study game programming. If anyone has some insight or advice please leave a comment. It would be much appreciated. I am still unclear with many things in the video game business.
in regards to manzoor's post please read
this is a reply/post to me from manzoor about re5 dlc
"are u retarded? sorry but i wanna speak someone inside in CAPCOM, not with some idiot who purchase two copies of same game...haha r u stupid or something???? i know u are the #1 NOOB fan of CAPCOM who are trying to protect them....but selling content thts already on the disc shows how bad CAPCOM need $$$..."
this was a quote from a forum post by manzoor. forum rules is anyone can respond genius. i bought two of the collectors editions because i collect resident evil merch......hence the term COLLECTORS EDITION. as for the name calling it doesnt take much to see who is the "retard" and obviously "bright" one of the bunch lol. i would have had a response but the thread was locked when i got off of work......gee maybe thats why i can "protect capcom with my money" by working and giving them my money. oh yeah maybe if u worked maybe you would quit bitching about 5 bucks for dlc. NOOB? your the new one here junior lol. speaking of how old are you? im guessing between 13 and 16. go ask mom for 5 bucks kid lol.
