Yeah, these stupid companies not being able to design something perfect for my hand size! You'd think one of them would get it right

[WeasteDevil]

If your penis is erect, and you grasp it from the base with a clenched fist, how much is left visible popping out of the top of your thumb?

[Redlambs]

And I thought designing these things was more technical than using an old Weaste tale. Well that explains Sony's method I suppose: Vibrator + ping pong ball = move.

Wow, it works!

Overall I'm impressed so far.

It looks absolutely hideous, especially with my Ice White 3DS but makes playing Revelations so much better.

The whole concept's a huge cock-up by Nintendo, no doubt we'll get a proper 3DS with the second stick in the near future.

Revelations, on the other hand, has far surpassed my expectations so far.

It does, if the average sized penis pops out around 2cm over the average sized hand, you can scale your controller from that.

Interesting. How does it measure on the mangina scale?

[Sarni]

As predicted, there isn't Revelations anywhere in Krakow.

Well you are missing out ,it's fantastic! It feels more like a RE game than 4/5.

Not that I'm rubbing it in

What happened to the direct download thing?

I will get it from Amazon if they still don't have it on Monday.

Meanwhile, just got out of the group stages in CL with United, PES2012. I am becoming good at this, beaten Marseille 2-1 in my last game after a 3-0 home loss to Napoli. Been drawn against Benfica. This 3D camera is amazing, makes the whole game experience much better.

[Olly]

Not yet...

For the digital sales of the content, we are also considering the future possibility of digital distribution of packaged software, which is often referred to as “software download sales.” This concept was built into the design of the Nintendo 3DS, and we already have the necessary infrastructure. We will prepare the same infrastructure for the Wii U. However, we have not decided the concrete timing of when we will start it.

[WeasteDevil]

It'll be all region locked though won't it?

[Olly]

I don't know. How do you region lock a download?

If you mean logging into another region's eShop to download stuff I have no idea. I guess so.

[Redlambs]

Played some more Revelations this morning, they've got the pacing spot on.

On the small screen it's very claustrophobic which adds to the tension and with the gyro aiming on it inspires a bit more panic, which all add to it being a great game.

[WeasteDevil]

Is this a Media Create thread Olly, because you seem to be trying to turn it into one? WTF?

[Olly]

No.

I suppose I could have just posted the 3DS and Vita numbers (or just the Revelations numbers since that's what I was pointing out) but I thought I might aswell post them all

[Redlambs]

Seems Game! are heavily relying on the Vita to save their arses.

That'll go well.

[Havak]

I picked up Resident Evil Revelations on release and I have to say I'm very impressed. I have to admit, it's made me jump on occasion. The graphics are really nice, especially with the 3D on. The controls are fine, although I haven't got a Circle Pad Pro yet. I may buy one if we get Monster Hunter released in the UK though.

I'm looking to pick up Tekken Prime Edition (although I may wait until towards the end of March instead of getting it on release) and Rayman Origins. Rayman I may leave a little longer, however, since the home console versions went down in price very quickly due to poor sales even though the game is apparently very good. Sonic Generations I almost bought a few weeks ago in the sales, but now it's gone back up in price, so it can wait until it drops again. I've already pre-ordered The Last Story (Limited Edition) for Wii, so I'm not going to be buying loads of games any time soon either.

[Olly]

It's great seeing you all talking about buying new games since I've stopped myself buying any until I've completed some of the ones in my backlog

[Redlambs]

To be honest it doesn't really need the second stick, I use gyroscope aiming anyway so it largely makes it redundant. It'll probably be the same for MGS.

Did you not get the circlepad pro with RE anyway then?

[WeasteDevil]

Hard for the Japs at the minute, and it doesn't look like it's going to change fast either. Panasonic - $10.2bn loss for the year. WTF?

[Garethw]

Had a play with the Vita in GameStop today and was blown away by uncharted.

As a result of this I have pre-ordered one!

[Sarni]

I've finally found Revelations in Krakow and just got it today. I still haven't played it, waiting for more spare time.

Tried Vita in a store today too and bought the pre-order pack. FIFA is basically the same as on PS3, they didn't have Uncharted but it will be as good I believe.

[Havak]

Anyone found good Vita deals yet? Not sure how good this one is in comparison to others, but at Morrison's the offer is:

Wi-Fi Vita, Fifa 12, 4GB Memory Card, and £25 Morrison's Gift Voucher for £250. If you know someone with a Discount Card at Morrison's, that makes it £225. Then, if you didn't want Fifa, you could trade it in at CeX or something for probably around £30 and buy the game you did want. You could also use the £25 Voucher for money off another game.

[Sarni]

I've bought pre-order pack for £20 so far and will pay another £200 to get a Vita on a launch. Then £40 for FIFA and Uncharted each and £15 for a 4GB memory card on top of that. Expensive as fuck but I just can't miss the launch, it looks very exciting - like a portable PS3 and with the amount of traveling that I do it will be very handy.

[Olly]

The MGS demo is up BTW.

[Redlambs]

Nice remind, I'll check it out tomorrow.

If it's only half as impressive as RE, it'll be great.

[Sarni]

I am on the last episode of Resident Evil, shame it's so short because it really is an amazing game - 7 hours so far on the clock and won't be more than an hour left in it I fear.

Metal Gear Solid will be out in slightly more than three weeks though and I will be busy playing Uncharted on the go between February 22 and then so it won't be much of an issue. Then two weeks after MGS they release Kid Icarus for 3DS and LittleBigPlanet for Vita. Good times for handheld gaming.

[Sarni]

Had a quick play of MGS and it's miles behind RE. Graphically there's some distance, MGS basically looks like a PSP game. Controls have been terrible without additional stick so far, hopefully I will get used to it because it's honestly pain in the arse. I will complete RE now and give it a second go but it's been very far from impressive now.

[WeasteDevil]

For the sake of my sanity, anyone with a VITA should buy Super Stardust Delta.

[Sarni]

It looks very boring but it's cheap so I will give it a try.

Last boss in Resident Evil is pretty pointless, I've been stuck on him for the past two hours and by the look of it I won't ever be able to complete this game because I do not have correct ammo to deal with him and I cannot get back. Congrars to whoever decided to just randomly put an invincible boss at the end of the game.

MGS has been pretty terrible so far. I have only played it for like half an hour but there's no desire to continue. Graphics are a level below RE and gameplay is awful with these controls, I would have to buy Circle Pad Pro to control it properly. I will probably buy it anyway but the excitement has disappeared.

I used to always end up doing that in the old RE games. Run out of ammo and health so just end up running around trying to figure out what to do

[Sarni]

But it's impossible to do anything here. I can't go back, I can't shoot him because I have too little ammo - just a machine gun with not so many bullets. I won't ever kill him with a knife, that's just impossible. I have five herbs plus there are two more in a room but that only extends my life, it doesn't get me closer to killing that boss. It's a piece of crap, all this trouble and I won't even finish this game. I feel cheated.
