Speaking of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, whats this I hear about the European version being even more censored? Seems decapitations on human enemies are disabled.
the ps3 couldnt handle those heavy alpha blending blood trails and graphical load so they justified it by saying its a less violent version of the game.
@flanker22:
I wasn´t talking about that, I was talking about the European and Japanese versions being even more censored than the puple smoke which is in all of Sigma 2´s versions. Decapitations on human enemies seems to be disabled in the Japanese demo. And if Sigma 1´s censoring of the JP and EU versions is anything to go by the EU version of Sigma 2 is probably also decapitation free.
@Santar: I played the japanese demo and I do remember clearly decapitating enemies with my sword. Just no rolling head or fountains of blood, but headless corpses yes!
@Alex_Mexico:
I remember many obliteration techniques where the head clearly should be gone and it still was intact myself.
Lots of times there´s alot of purple "blood" spraying but the head´s still there if you look at it closely.
And remember I´m talking about human enemies here, not the werewolves.
Oh well, I guess I´l have to wait for the US and EU demos to check.
@Alex_Mexico: Not in the Japanese demo. It looks like you decapitate them, but the head stays on the body. (At least on human enemies, demons and such lose their heads).
I'm looking forward to the US version though, the JP and EU versions are just too neutered...
I've got 2 DS3 and 2 Sixaxis - but at parties several times someone has taken my DS3 and claimed they were theirs! Methinks I should replace the 2 sixaxis with red ones since no one will be able to take those and try to leave me with a plain ol sixaxis.
@MysteryMachine: You could copy down (or take a pic of) the serial numbers on your controllers. Then, when one of your dumbass friends tries to pull the switcheroo, just shove the serial number in his/her face.
I've been hearing rumors that the Slim might be coming in white and red alongside the obvious black, so this would make sense to have these come out the same month.
I bought a black DS3 when they were first released, and it was a great purchase. My Sixaxis has always been weird. It occasionally "strokes out" and weird things happen like the character you're controlling will spin around in circles madly or pull to the left.
That means whenever someone comes over, one person is stuck with the crappy/semi-defective ultra lightweight Sixaxis.
Methinks perhaps the blue DS3 is in order soon- it's not exactly the same as my beloved clear blue DS2, but it's close enough.
I love me a blue Dualshock. It's totally irrational. I don't even care.

@bialia: My Sixaxis does the same thing. It's got something to do with the Bluetooth transmitters in the Sixaxis being crappier than the ones in the DS3. You can alleviate it by plugging the controller in via USB, but really, why bother?
@bialia: I also bought black one last summer, but now my battery is starting to hold much less charge. It's not too drastic yet, but it's quite a noticeable change. How's your battery holding up?
@geiko: You know, it's hard for me to say. I have my suspicions that its less than it was, but the problem is, my fiance plays quite a bit as well so it is hard to keep track.
I haven't been annoyed by the amount of charging the thing requires, though, so I guess that's a positive.
Would this vinyl dye lifehack work? If so then you can get any colour you wanted.
I've got a spare Sixaxis I might have a shot on, I want white, but dunno if white dye will work on black, or if the plastic is the right type in the first place [lifehacker.com]
