MOO!

Also my Netflix is working fine on PS3 with full streaming HD so its not the internet connection or my PS3 but I knew that. It's PSN, its shit. Only anything from the PSN store patchs or game, game content it just won't go any faster that a snail taking a shit.

Ruh Roh, read the Retro story, seems it will be a stylised and not realistic looking game with hand painted 2D textures. One the ex-Naughty Dog artists left ND because he didn't like working on realistic games and Retro hired Epic Mickey's lead artist too. The game will have weather, particle effects, and cinematic cutscenes, bosses. Stylised Metroid?

• Based on the information so far, here is what we have gathered.
• Artist left Naughty Dog because he doesn’t enjoy working on realistic look games. Says Retro is a better fit for him.
• The lead artist of Epic Mickey is involved on this project.
• The game will have high quality hand painted 2D texture maps
• High quality 3D geometry for game environments
• According to Monty Goulet’s YouTube video from his official YouTube channel, he finished working on Retro’s game on August 2012.
• A contract artist named Crystel Land started working on a Nintendo IP for Retro Studios on May 2012.
• The game will have ambient, environmental and weather effects.
• Not only will the game have enemies, but it will also have bosses.
• The game will have cinematics/cutscenes.
• Miyamoto says Retro is too busy for Zelda.

Ruh Roh? Sounds interesting.

PSN has usually worked fine for me. I am downloading a whole movie and its moving very fast.

Saints Row The Third is free-to-play until Sunday over on Steam. For the cost of your bandwidth and an hour or so of downloading, you can take a trip to Steelport, and be both disgusted and thrilled at the same time.



And if you like the game as much as we did, you can buy it on Steam for just $13.59, 66% off of the standard price.

Usually its fine here too but the last 4 days  it's be awful. Funny thing Is  I  can get full HD netflix streaming  with no problems fine for hours, but dling or playing a game ? forget it. I test connection 15 to 17 Mbps solid 4 or 5 upload  on both PS3 and Vita so it's a damn fine connection, it's just PSN.

Ummm... Travo... I had my headset on the whole time... Did you not hear me?

I was trying to do a "Leo Mode" and just protect you as you went through the initial missions. I wanted you to grab the weapons, etc... The only thing I tried to get was ammo... I kept running out!

I think the game disables all the bad-ass bonuses when you play in co-op too, for some reason... I found my aim to not be as steady and headshots were definitely harder to pull off than in my single player game!
