In Resident Evil 4 you're a killing machine with 10,000 rounds of ammo for your Red9. And it's still a little annoying. And the enemies aren't trying to kill your escort.

Oops, my bad. This is what I get for not digging deeper.

So, ESRB put out a rating for Grandia 3 on PS4. Generally that also means an European release.

Turns out however that that ESRB filling was wrong, and what got released instead was Grandia 3 for the PS3, American-only release. I've no idea why any company would release a PS2 classic on PS3 halfway through 2016, especially since they aren't cross-buy, even if it eventually releases for the PS4, but there we go.

You know I wouldn't mind if Sony did a playstation TV 2. With the ability to play all ps1 classics and every ps2 classic on ps3 and ps4 and can play Vita and psp games.

And it uses microsd cards.

Bonus points for offering the ability to use streaming services like vue. I think it would be a decent business model and a perfect companion to a ps4.

It just kind of sucks because there's ps2 classics that might be stuck on ps3 only or a psx game that doesn't work on Vita and who knows if we'll ever get psx on ps4.

Sony will never allowed unsecured media again so any SD cards are out, and they practically tried to kill the first PSTV themselves the instant it came out

But that's a nice pipe dream you got there

The PS1 version has really atrocious load times, play it on anything else (e.g. mobile, SNES, DS if possible because it's the best version).

People are allowed to think about how to spend their money if they won the lottery. I'm allowed to think about how cool a PSTV 2 could be.
One of the first flaws I think is they didn't advertise enough what the PSTV could do.

It's not that expensive now and it can still play most psp and Vita games as well as minis and psx classics. For the price point, it does well at that. It also has access to some streaming stuff.

It just needs more software support and advertising.

It fits the game super well. If you don't get that you're weird.

"Jamming out to punk" or whatever they called it in Chloe's bedroom made my face contort though.

Anyway LiS is the best game.

I'll agree with that, I didn't see ANY advertising when it came out, and all the stores were trying to hide it off in a corner and pretend it didn't exist. Someone wanted that thing to fail.

I distinctly remember going to a local game store to preorder it, and the owner, a person I consider to have decent knowledge of games, remarked that it would be cool if it played Vita games on a big tv. He sounded incredulous when I told him that's exactly what it did.

I'd probably be more inclined to buy a PSTV if it didn't cost the price of a 2nd PSTV to get the memory card for it. Also, apparently some PS1 games don't work with it, which is kinda lovely considering they all worked with the PSP, AFAIK.

What it needs to do is have PSVue support. Hey, we're going to come out with something with TV in the name then a few months later start a TV service that won't play on our TV device. Why? Because :flipoff:
