so, seem like one of the reason how ign/gamespot bitch on the controller (beside the target lockon stuff) is about the sampling rate from the sixaxis controller. At least in the video it is clear took about sampling rate of 0.1~0.5secs to update the attitude/position(whatever i dont know what sony want to call it) information. So, if unless they could let the sixaxis controller having a higher sampling rate, else the control still not convinience for most ppl (for lagless...).

how many ppl usually will stay calm to play a game when get into some situation, beside hardcore player ...

The fact you HAVE to use the sixaxis ruins it though.

They should've given you the option to use it or not, like with warhawk.

Hey you and I had a lot of fun playing motorstorm. Also, I hear the new mode is supposed to be cool.

[Exoduso]

Yeah, back when it just came out... I bet it's pretty boring by now, hell it's been a good couple of months since i've last played it.

You just got jaded when you couldn't beat me on dust devil! :D

[Mysterio]

downloading the motorstorm pack right now.

[izembo]

already got rid of my motorstorm, was boring after like 2 weeks. worst loads times ever <_<

[thestalkmore]

Anyone having trouble with the PSN stranglehold DL? I can't get past 64% no matter how many times I restart.

[Pyro]

I didn't seem to have any trouble, and after playing it I can safely say that it's a rental at best in my opinion.

Yea, finally got it working and I wasn't impressed at all. Had way more fun with Max Payne and it's like way olde.

Amen, not sure what all the hype is about. However, that demo video they included with the 360 demo looked pretty crazy. Again, a rental at best.

[Kaylia]

No clue if it will be better or worse than Max paine, but I enjoyed the demo. The preview in the end show many differents stage, something that Max paine was lacking imo.

[Deejay]

I played the demo, it's ok. Never thought anyone was actually thinking about buying it.

Next week SKATE is out.(!!!) If you haven't downloaded the demo then do so now.

[Exoduso]

Is SKATE any good?

[thestalkmore]

Is SKATE any good?

Don't think anyone could ever wash the fond memories of THPS from my mind.

[izembo]

supposedly skate is really well done, getting good reviews and saying that it kinda refreshes the skating game industry.

plaaaaayy iiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Trust me, it'll leave you feeling dirty for ever liking TH. Idk if its on PSN but the demo has been on Marketplace for a while.

The controlls are sick. You use the right analog to do all your tricks. It's realistic though, so no more 13209090453 point combo's. SO the learning curve is pretty hefty since everyone is used to the arcade style Tony Hawk, but trust me its good.

Edit: To give you guys a better idea. If Tony Hawk was a boxing game it'd be Ready 2 Rumble. If Skate was a boxing game it would be Fight Night Round 3. Sure Ready2Rumble was cool back in the day, but it lacked any real substance to be considered a real fighter.

Skate adds that substance. You don't just run from big trick to big trick with manuals in between. You actually try to make nice lines, and the smallest things like triple heelflip down a flight of stairs feels so much more satisfying when you do it in a realistic type setting. Playing the demo almost made me want to skateboard IRL. It's really refreshing.
