Resident Evil Chronicles Wii games to given HD ports
Posted by EdEN in PlayStation Eye, PlayStation Move, PS3, PS3 software, QuickNews, R on October 31st, 2011
We’ve already gotten ports of Dead Space Extraction and House of the Dead: Overkill… so now it’s time to bring two more on rails shooters to PS3! CAPCOM has just announced that ports of both Resident Evil Chronicles games will be given HD ports with Move support (well… duh!) for release at an unspecified date.
I already own ALL of the games mentioned in this post but for those of you that have yet to try any of these fine, fine games… what do you think about all the Wii to PS3 ports lately?

What is being worked on for PSN? Why, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken!
Posted by EdEN in PS3, PS3 software, PSN, R on July 19th, 2011
It is time for us to acknowledge the fact that gorgeous, 2D games are NOT the norm on the PSN store and never have been. That IS weird considering that the PS3 is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery capable of giving us great visuals at 60 fps for 3D games and if that power was to be used for a 2D game… well, one can only imagine the results. But fear not as Ratloop (think about it for a second) has heard our concerns and is hard at work on bringing us a bit of chicken to the table.
Hard. Boiled. Chicken.
Ratchet & Clank PS2 Collection to PS3: Hummm, maybe…
Posted by Demerson in Featured, PS3 software, R, Ratchet & Clank: Crack in Time, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Rumors on July 8th, 2010
… but not from Insomniac Games. They could support Sony, if there is enough interest, though. That’s what the Burbank-based independent studio twitted a couple days ago, in response to a possibility of a compilation of R&C PS2 games:
“We won’t make it, but we’d support Sony if they decided to do it!”
At first, I thought it should be a good idea playing with my favorite lombax and his fellow robot in high definition. Then, I just realized that I already played with the duo in glorious high definition, and three times! First, in R&C: Tools of Destruction. Then, the PSN title R&C: Quest for Booty (disc-based in Europe), and finally R&C: A Crack in Time.
What do you think? Should it be a good idea to bring back those PS2 titles? Or we should just move along and wait for a brand new adventure from Insomniac?
Rock Band Premium Drum Set
Posted by Darrin in R, Uncategorized on July 12th, 2008
Ion has put up the web site for their new premium electric drum set for Rock Band.
This looks like a virtual drummer’s dream: very high end materials and everything is fully adjustable. Wow. The standard Rock Band drum kit is still very nice and much more affordable, but if you take drums seriously, and don’t mind the price ($300), this is perfect.
With the first Rock Band, Drums really took over as the most polished and realistic of the three instrument types. Now, they are really taking the drum experience up a notch.
Other instruments are harder to adapt to the Amplitude/Guitar Hero style formula, but I hope we see some high quality efforts like this.
Rocketmen Demo
Posted by Blackstaffer in PS3 software, R on March 7th, 2008
Last night I had my friend Steve over to play some videogames, and before we started in earnest (we finally finished Baldur’s Gate II) we gave the new Rocketmen: Axis of Evil demo a whirl.
While not exactly the worst top-down shooter I’ve played, it’s far from the best. Which is really a shame because this game could have been so much better. It has a fun cartoony look to it and some interesting characters, but this game falls down in several areas:
- The cutscenes are too often and too long.
The cutscenes were fun at first. But after a while we just starting skipping them. They just kept us away from the action, and it was quite annoying. It wouldn’t be so bad if the developers made fewer of them and kept them a lot shorter. - Did I mention the stupid camera?
Say you and your buddy go left. Both of your characters will end up on the far left of the screen, desperately trying to get the screen to follow. So that when you encounter some baddies, you and the baddies are on the far left of the screen with a large swath of unused real-estate to the right. Quite stupid, and this totally wrecks the game. - Bad graphics.
I know that this is a budget title and I shouldn’t expect too much, but man, this game looks literally like it could have been on the PS2. Literally.
Ah well, better luck next time.
Rocketmen: Axis of Evil
Posted by Blackstaffer in PS3 software, R on March 6th, 2008
Capcom is releasing an arcade game Rocketmen: Axis of Evil onto PSN today. How come I never heard of it? It has 4 player co-op action, so I hope there’s a demo. Co-Optimus had this to say:
Capcom’s newest addition to their arcade lineup is called Rocketmen: Axis of Evil. The game is based on a popular WizKids product line. The game is a dual analog shooter with RPG elements. Think of an RPG version of Smash TV. You can create and customize a male or female character based on one of three classes (Fighter, Engineer, Outcast), as well as one of three races (Human, Mercurian or Venusian).
The game launches today on PSN for $9.99. (It’s on XLA too, BTW.)
Army of Two or R6 Vegas 2?
Posted by Blackstaffer in A, PS3 software, R, Talk on March 6th, 2008
I’m in a pickle.
This month I have enough moola to spend on one game. I can buy Army of Two, releasing this week, or I can buy Rainbow Six Vegas 2, due out in the middle of March. I would be buying either of these games primarily for the two player splitscreen co-op modes. I doubt that I would go online with Army of Two, but I might with R6V2, just because I think the game types in R6V2 seem to be more my style. Even then, I doubt that I’d spend much time online there either. (Might as well just pop in CoD4.)
Army of Two is totally built around the co-op experience. And while R6V2 has a co-op mode, it seems like the second is more along for the ride. On the other hand, it looks like R6V2 will probably be a much more polished game with some fun levelling-up to do.
So like I said, I’m in a pickle. Anyone have any thoughts?
