PS3: Saturday Night Shooter. Intro Blog

Featuring:


WARHAWK


RESISTANCE 2

(for now that is)

We're getting more and more requests to get Warhawk and Resistance 2 co-op back in the FNF rotation. The R2 co-op matches tend to be quite long, therefor it's not very suitable for FNF. Either way it's great to go back to R2 because I've been looking forward to play some co-op with you all.

Now the thing is that I don't know if any of you are willing to host a certain game and if people will show up. I can't remember who requested Warhawk and Resistance 2, it might have been one and the same person. And of course it doesn't only have to be Warhawk and Resistance 2 but having too many games will end up in the same problematic way as adding them to the FNF rotation. That's why I wanted to start with only two games.

Also I've called this SNS because to me it sounds like the perfect night. If somebody wants a different night it's cool with me. But I can't use the Flotsam & Jetsam video therefor it sucks beforehand.

And don't forget. The host for Warhawk needs to have quite a beefy connection. If I get my regular connection back I can host it pretty easily. 20 mbps down and 10 mbps up should be sufficient. But that will have to wait because the company I'm getting it from keeps messing it up.

I hope this doesn't interferes with SRK Saturdays but the request I've got weren't from people who play fighting games that much. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So four questions:

1: Would you like to join SNS?

2: Can you host a certain game?

3: Do you want any other games?

4: What time do you want it to start.

I'm really looking forward to this! What say you?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I'd be willing to play some R2. I haven't had a chance to play with you PS3 bastards yet. That makes me sad! So, sure, I'd love to host some R2. My Saturday schedules tend to be a little erratic, though. If I were to host, I'd try to start around 9:00 eastern is possible. I'm on mountain, so I can't realistically do a lot earlier.

Anyway, I'll see what others think.

When I pick up a PS3, I'll definitely look forward to this if the timing is resonable (meaning not so late that I fall asleep with the controller in my hands). I don't think I'll be getting Resistance or Killzone, but Warhawk has definitely caught my eye.

Does Worms count as a shooter? It has guns, grenades, and explosive sheep in it. I would be willing to host it.

YES! I keep thinking about getting back into R2. Have things changed? Didn't they add extra, more "hardcore" modes or something? Either way, I'd love to roll with some Dtoiders and rock that game again.

@Kauza
Resistance 2 is so damn cool with a good team of friends. I'm looking forward fighting at your side. Yeah, damn those time-zones. Late for me is early for you. But I'll manage.

@Justice
Maybe if we can gather enough people we can divide it in EU and US? There's quite a few of us so we'll have to see what happens.

@Jack
LOL Worms didn't exactly pop up in my mind but sure. If you want to host it that fine by me.

Well there is that super hard mode now. (Can't remember the name) If you die you can only be revived by team members. So no more auto-revive after 30 or so seconds. I have played it only once but people refused to revive me. And I was the only spec-ops. Because they ran out of ammo everybody died after 5 minutes. Weird Russian bastards.

I'll have to figure out where the hell my old Warhawk headset went. Ugh, that thing sucked. I wonder if it even still works.

Anyway, yeah, we'll figure out the timing one way or another.

Oh yes that thing sucked! Haha, I was so very glad some of my PSN friends bought a new one. The back-ground noise that baby picks up is deafening. But it beats playing co-op without one. I'm looking at you Celica! ;)

Maybe I'll Google around and try to find a better one. I have a Logitech USB headset that I use for Skype, but I don't know that it'll work with the PS3, or that the cord is long enough to reach my couch.

I'm willing to play both of those games...especially WARHAWK! Also Crash Commando wouldn't be a bad idea for inclusion considering it just got a free update as well as new DLC.

Well, I use the PS-Eye as mic together with regular Sony wireless Headphones.

This baby right here:


So comfortable it hurts! Or actually it doesn't hurt, not even after 12 straight hours of gaming. I've got a spare Sennheiser USB headset. Mic is great but after a short period it hurts my head because of the really hard plastic head-strap thing. Bloody dent in my skull. I don't like blue-tooth headsets. Sound in one ear? No thanks.

@Jimbo
Yeah, you're right. We can add that game too if y'all want. I don't think I will be joining because R2 and Warhawk will take up all my time.
Elsa's Avatar - Comment posted on 08/31/2009 13:55

I would definitely be up for both games - love both of them.

Saturday nights are usually date night with the husband... so any other night would actually be better for me (maybe Sunday nights?).

For Warhawk, I can host, but I have 15mbps up and I'm on the west coast of Canada... so it can sometimes create lag issues with people on the east coast (or in Europe) and my cable internet sometimes only allows me to host 12 instead of the usual 16. It's probably better is someone with better internet hosts (but I can maybe be a backup)

Any thoughts on breaking the two games up into separate nights? (maybe Warhawk Saturday and R2 Sunday?) I can easily play either game for 2-4 hours (and with two nights I would be more likely to be able to join in on at least one of the games.)

I'm flexible. The superhuman mode in R2 co-op is indeed awesome!! It really encourages teamwork - so should be a lot of fun!

Is Warhawk actually good? I might pick it up, if so.
Elsa's Avatar - Comment posted on 08/31/2009 14:13

Magnalon, it's an incredible game but can seem a bit overwhelming at first. It's essentially a third person shooter with air and ground combat including vehicles like jeeps and tanks. If you learn to play with a group of Dtoid people, I'm sure you'd love the game - but if you just jumped into a ranked game, you'd probably have your ass handed to you because the game has been out for two years and the skill levels are pretty high (especially with the air combat). The vehicles are really easy to manage and the weaponry is outstanding... it's weapons pick ups and rank means little except as an indicator of how long you've been playing ranked games (no perks or anything on ranking up). It's very team oriented and can be a lot of fun.

There have been so many games people want to return to FNF we ultimately had to use saturday.

And unreal tournament 3 and red faction would be nice.

Hey!! I already said I'd get a headset!! :p Haha still haven't got it yet but I'll try and pick one up soon. Anyone tell me how the Sony one is??

Also this is a great idea!! Unfortunately I'll have to rebuy Warhawk first as it got cracked in my PS3 T_T. It ruined my weekend. Pfft and people hate digital distribution lol. Yeah I'm planning on downloading it this time. And R2 coop will be awesome and I would be up for Crash Commandos as well. Superhuman mode really lives up to its name btw.

Haha! Great responses so far!

@Elsa
Yeah, I know you've got your date night. That's why I asked if Saturday was OK. Sunday would be good too but that way I can never ever join. I can't stay up until 7 in the morning on Sundays because of my study. A split-up would be great too. Like you said I too can play Resistance 2 for hours and hours. In fact I think it would be wise to split it up. But I'll wait for the final decisions until everyone had the time to respond. If it would be Sunday I'm still gonna support this even though I can never join.

@Nexus
True. Those games would deserve a spot too. Damn I think we need a whole week to give every game it's time. Maybe we can change the rotation after a couple of weeks though. But lets keep it at Resistance 2 and Warhawk for a while. We got the most requests for those games so far.

@Mix
Yeah, I remember you and your girl we're playing with us! She's right about bugging you ;)

@Fetusmilk
Yeah, there are still a lot of people playing. It was quite busy at first on FNF then people started dropping out and not showing up. That's why we took it off. Now new people are picking up the game again. Don't really know what causes it. Maybe because people see that it is still going strong unlike most Online Only games.

@Qraze
Hell yeah! I want to have epic shoot-outs like in Killzone 2 with you. It's great if you seem to kill and be killed by the same person over and over again. Like I said in the message I sent. I had a blast playing Killzone with you all.

Also created a quick header. Can easily be changed into Sunday Night Shooter or whatever this is going to be. Or changed altogether. Maybe Warhawk Weekend or something goofy. Talking about goofy, expect the same whacky blogs as the FNF ones. Although it's gonna be hard to create two (maybe even 3) in a row I'm down for it. In fact I'm looking forward creating some weird stuff already!

I would love to join you guys for R2 in co-op. However I cannot be committed to a long term relationship because I usual work on Saturday nights and I usually have other planes with family or friends. Ill keep my copy of R2 so maybe someday I can play some co-op with you all. I do think this is a great idea, and if Im free I will be there to play. As for hosting a game, probably not on my wireless connection.

I'd be up for hosting some CoD:WaW zombie mode. Not sure if anyone still has the game at this point, but I have the extra maps and you don't need them if I'm hosting...I think.

Sold. I'll get it at some point.

Do I need the expansion packs? :(

@magnalon
Well, one expansion pack contains jet packs and some maps, the other a APC with a giant jelly shield and some maps and the last one a giant aircraft for 6 persons full of lasers,missiles and machine guns and some maps... You decide (it seems pretty obvious to me)...

I will be on for both on. It will be great to play R2 and more Warhawk with people from Dtoid.
Also will Warhawk be using the expansions? I have the first two put have held off buying the third for a while but if Dtoid starts playing it I might buy it.
Takeshi's Avatar - Comment posted on 08/31/2009 17:44
Takeshi
Although everybody needs to buy the map packs instantly. We'll probably start off without them in the rotation. We can add them if we know for certain if everybody has them. I don't want to rule anyone out of the festivities.

You could even add Socom to the Rotation, since we do a nightly thing anyway. Also, I think it would be appropriate for UT3 to join those two games for now. I don't own any of these anymore, but they're three solid shooters that deserve to be played again.

Also, I'd love to see Red Faction be a part of this, as its had very little support on FNF.

Pikeman,
This is essentially what we didn't want. I would like to play all these games too but it will be a huge clusterfuck of games again. The reason for SNS is that we can play one game for a couple of hours straight instead of switching. Two games a night tops. Socom stays out of the rotation period for the sole reason we play it every night anyway. Resistance 2 and Warhawk however not. Plus we've got Socom on FNF. This night is especially created for those two games.

gotta love killzone. its epic and more people need to be playing, 5 on 5 is okay but 16 on 16 is where some real teamwork comes in.

ut3 is also another i can play really well. i still got more trophies for it than anyone else i know lol, its a tough grind to get any.

Sunday would be better because I'd be all for some R2 and Warhawk, but I do SRK Saturday's.

Dammit! So there is someone that plays both Fighting games and Shooters. And guess what, it's the SRK host himself. Fuck. But we might do both days so you can at least join one. Just like me, I can only join Saturdays.
