I got it with little big planet and killzone 2. couple of questions

1: do you evetually get used to the killzone 2 controls! coming from playing fps's on mouse and keyboard I'm struggling to aim with the analogue stick!

2: anyone reccomend any must have's from the Playstation Store?

3: I'm gonna get street fighter 4 this weekend anyone want a few games? my PSN is carlisleet
 
1:The aiming takes time to get used to when moving from PC, but stick with and it you get very used to it.

2: Dunno. Only recently got my PS3 too. Am seriously considering Wipeout though

3: Don't have it
 
1 - Yes, with time you will become used to the thumb stick, although it will never be as good as a mouse. Try adjusting the sensitivity if you are trying to be accurate.

2 - WipeOut HD and Battlefield 1943.

3 - I need to buy this game also :)
 
1 Yes, nearly everyone that gives it a good chance adjusts to a control pad eventually, just stick with it. Keep in mind killzone 2 has less autoaim than many other console games so it's more difficult to aim, other games will be easier but i guess learning KZ2 first is a good thing as you'll be ready for anything. Have you updated it with the latest patch? (Does this automatically when you start the game if you're connected to the internet) This gives you an option called 'precision mode' which i recommend you enable.

2 Wipeout HD + Expansion, Super Stardust HD, Flower, PixelJunk Monsters, a game called Fat Princess was also released yesterday that seems pretty good, a bit early to tell though so far.

3 Sure, add me when you get it (ID in sig)
 
1) At first I was horrible at aiming with a pad, but after playing Uncharted I am much better at it, the more you use a pad the more you know when to stop moving.
Still not good enough to get 50/50 kills/deaths online but for SP it is usually good enough and if it is too difficult I set the game to easy.

2) Wipout HD + Fury for sure, graphics are awesome and the racing as well, but beware you might need to persevere as it can be hard to get it right, but when you do it's a huge adrenaline boost.
 
1. Killzone 2 best console fps if you're coming from pc fps imho. Controls and feel are excellent. But i was utterly put off by the very restrictive view you get. (icons etc far far too big)

2. Final Fantasy VII
 
I'm definatly getting FF7, can't wait to play that again for the 100th time :P

are the graphics slightly improved? I will stick Killzone 2 out, it looked amazing
 
dont think the graphics are different perhaps with the ps3 upscaling/smoothness etc dno i havent got it yet - its on my must have list also :D £7.99 tho
 
Congrats :)

I second Streeteh's suggestions.

FF7 looks great on PS3. Make sure to run on upscaling and smoothing in "Game" under the settings menu in XMB.

Not significantly, no. The PS1 emulator that runs on the PS3 does things like Anti Aliasing that the PS1 didn't used to do. As a result there are less jaggeys but don't expect any amazing differences; this is an old game and it looks it. Fortunately it plays 1000x better than it looks so it's still worth having.

I have only had my PS3 a couple of months. I borrowed resistance 2 off a mate and finished that without any issue. I then bought Kill Zone 2 and had some trouble with the controls and game itself (I made a thread on here) After the first couple of levels it did seem easier and now I quite like it. Not one of my favourite games but it's ok. The general opinion is to use 'alternative 2' controls and bump up the axis speeds. In resistance 2 I turned them down slightly.
 
1: do you evetually get used to the killzone 2 controls! coming from playing fps's on mouse and keyboard I'm struggling to aim with the analogue stick! - Yes, well no actually lol. Not being bigheaded but I was a very good FPS player on the PC now I'm just average on console playing games like CoD etc, all my mates have consoles though so the fun makes up for the decrease in my k:d ratio :P

2: anyone reccomend any must have's from the Playstation Store? - Get Wipeout HD immediately + the expansion pack.

3: I'm gonna get street fighter 4 this weekend anyone want a few games? my PSN is carlisleet - My PSN ID is Drunzer.
