Playstation Access Bristol

Games, Free beer + Lethal Bizzle!

 

After scoring some tickets for Playstation Access this Friday me and Sian headed down to Motion in Bristol to get our game on, oh and also enjoy the free beer! Thanks Sony!

The event was quite exclusive due to invite only which was made more obvious once we got inside joining the handful of other gamers there, admittedly we did get there around 7, so the night was young!

 

Above was the game line up that was announced prior to the event, I was damn excited for not only the uncharted 3 lan games, but also that I would get a chance to play Batman and Battlefield 3 for the first time as the cues at the Eurogamer expo where insane.

However Battman was no where to be seen? and Battlefield crashed lol… for the night! so we where left with:

• Uncharted 3,
• FIFA 12,
• Battlefield 3,
• Assassins Creed Revelations,
• GoldenEye 007 Reloaded,
• Batman: Arkham City,
• Resistance 3,
• Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One,
• Starhawk,
• Tekken TAG HD,
• Dark Souls.

Personal 3D Viewer

After grabbing a beer we went over to check out Sony’s new 3D tech, the Personal 3D Viewer (Seriously?! this is what your calling it!?) despite the name we both thought the thing was pretty cool. I was surprised that it felt like viewing a cinema screen, the screen size illusion really worked well for me! only thing is the guy said the retail price is around £800… that was a shock, i was expecting £400… but £800?! Wow. Also the strap at the back could of been designed better, fine if it’s just used for you but it’s a rubber stoper and feels a little fidly.

Uncharted 3 – Multiplayer

After playing around with some Tekken Tag HD I went to get my ass kicked do surprisingly well at some Uncharted 3 lan action. It was in it’s own room and was kitted out so well, plants and tree’s all over the place with hidden treasures and ruin’s back lit with the subtle club lighting of Motion. I played a team battle, 4v4 I think?!  with some guys really knowing their stuff. Luckily I had played a bit of Uncharted 2 Muiti to hold my own and this felt like a welcome return. What was nice for me was playing in a Lan environment again, something I have done with PC gaming in the past and it creates a great atmosphere and really get’s you into the competitive streak.

We tried our hand at some Ratchet and clank and I remembered how Sian get’s when I “Always Win” theirs a 50/50 chance I will lose my life one of these days… i swear… Before making my way to try some Resistance 3 using the Move I gave a respectful tip of the hat to my man Dark Souls, having played a good 30 mins of this at the Eurogamer expo and it’s just as bad-ass as Deamon souls; not for babies.

Resistance 3 looks great, and it does feel like they have given it some depth and refined the storyline since the first installment which is great. Using the move was a lot of fun although to look right or left you have to move the gun to the right of the screen etc, this makes looking + aiming very difficult, and it would be great if one analogue stick could rotate the player while your move stick could aim.. then though you can’t move…  So although a fun arcade experience that issue does ruin the immersion of the game for me, but would be fun in co-op or with some friends watching.

So i would say play this using a controller to really get into it, and to be honest that’s the best way to game. Cold cider, comfy sofa, big ass TV, and get immersed!.
