My 60GB PS3 died a year or so ago and I never bothered to replace it, but with the news that the Demon's Souls servers are going to be shut down I quite fancy getting a cheapo console just to finish that game. I'd want another 60GB one for the PS2 backwards compatibility, but looking at CEX they've got some 60s for 50 quid that say "no backwards compatibility". But weren't all of the 60GBs backwards compatible? A new exploit was released last week allowing custom firmware to be installed from 4.82 official firmware (the latest update) with the custom firmware you can play ps2 isos on any ps3 regardless of backward compatibility. I've managed to jailbreak mine on the weekend. Only works on fats and some slims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think as long as your slim started life with 3.55 firmware from the factory it will work if it didnt it can't be done unfortunately. If you look on YouTube for ps3xploit there's videos explaining it and I think there's a file you can put on a USB stick and put in your ps3 to let you know if it ever had 3.55 firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I've recently sorted out my original N64 and I have decided to start playing Mario 64 again and try and collect all the stars. Think the best I ever did years ago was 71 (without the aid of guide books and the like) so be interesting to see how I do. Currently I am on 11.

It's one of the best games ever - reminds me a lot of Red Dead. It's really long though - like a Lord of the Rings film. I remember doing what I assumed was the final battle and there being about 3 hours gameplay after. Was it the bit where you defend the Castle with some of the characters you met along the way? Â Just finished that bit thinking it was the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I started playing a bit of that Steep as there's a new beta out for the Winter Olympics expansion, it's a bit shit aint it? It looks pretty and controls smoothly enough but it's like they took SSX and removed all traces of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted November 29, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Friday the 13th was half price everywhere last week, so I caved. What a fucking hoot that game is. If you're a counsellor it's a frantic dash to get a plan together, if you're Jason you go full on stalkeroo. Even better when you get a game with a mate or two. One game, where a friend of mine was Jason, ended with me driving the car through the exit along with everyone else running alongside me like Clint Eastwood in In the Line of Fire. Jason hobbled behind shaking his pitchfork in a "get off my land" style. Edited November 29, 2017 by Onyx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 NBA 2K17's career mode is ace. Â Wallace from The Wire plays your mate and there seems to be a storyline alongside the play a game and repeat bit. Â Only about 15 games in but I'm really enjoying it. Â The Witcher 3 has to wait.

Merzbow Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Oh EA, you fucking pricks. UFC 3 is completely pay to win by all accounts, there are microtransactions to unlock characters, moves, abilities and power-ups so if you pump some cash into the game you're overpowered for the online mode. Imagine Street Fighter with this BS, pay a fiver and Blanka has double health for 6 matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted December 2, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 2, 2017 Didn't an absolute shit ton of value get wiped off their share price after the Battlefront debacle? I for one would enjoy EAs downfall. Fuck them and their crappy practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took everything they built with EAMMA, and Fight Night did, smear it with shit. now with Microtransactions being a key factor this might be the break up between EA and the UFC saying that both are based on pure greed.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Fuck 'em indeed, they've closed down a great developer recently and have taken the game they had and are turning it into a Destiny clone by all accounts. I played some of the UFC beta and yeah.. you can just leg kick the AI till their leg breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
