olsen77 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) We're back for another run at a series of game nights. This time though, we're going (relatively) retro. How do we define "retro" in this case? Since we can only go back so far, it has to be a game released in the first half of this console generation that really can be picked up for next to nothing used or new (and have an online set up that makes it possible to do a game night, sorry Metal Gear and Battlefield 1943 fans). There are three that are planned for June. We've picked two based on the game night wishlist thread and the fact that we owe you guys one. The third is a member's choice based on older games that were posted in the wishlist. And why is there no Call of Duty? Because we know that Call of Duty will win any member's choice poll, and well, we'd like to do something different. Here's the schedule for your viewing: June 2 - Burnout Paradise (Open for sign ups) June 9 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Open for sign ups) June 16 - Wipeout HD We're taking the 23rd off and then the 30th is the site's birthday. We're planning something special for that day and we'll announce it at a different time (and if any staff member says a word or drops a hint...well, just don't). And please, don't use this thread to speculate or guess what happens on the 30th. Just trust us. Edited May 28, 2012 by olsen77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuffinz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Very cool. I look forward to this month and will definitely be there for two of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheapathic Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yay! I'll be able to (hopefully) attend two of these. Just hoping the 9th game night will be something I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfan97 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I may be interested in Burnout Paradise but I don't have that game installed on my PS3's harddrive anymore. Wipeout HD I won't even try because I know I'll get obliterated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLIVERMC97 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Awesome . Ill be at the Wipeout one! Probably won't be at the Members choice GN as the game I own I doubt will get picked. I wonder how cheap Burnout is on ebay, I guess ill have a look, I already have the plat, but its gotta be worth it to play in the GN and get some of those free trophies. Oh and looking forward to that surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wipeout HD I won't even try because I know I'll get obliterated. We're going to be handling the Wipeout sign ups very differently. It'll be based on the skill that you feel comfortable at (Flash, Rapier, or Phantom). Don't worry about getting obliterated. Not everyone will be matched up against the really good racers.

That's a great idea. Guess ill be picking the bottom one then, which im guessing is Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vuule Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Can't play Burnout without PS+ Also, on a saturday.. Have fun guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletchar2 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Awesome stuff guys with another gaming night month. Should be attending the Burnout night until the last few dwindle down, and I might be able to pop in for an hour and a half for the other two (dependent on the member vote of course), but I can't make any promises due to exams. Before I go and vote in the member poll, is GTA IV good to go in terms of getting a lobby together without any disconnections? Admittedly I haven't played it in a while, but the last time I did, it was hard work just getting 4 or 5 people together. I'll save my vote just in case for now, fingers crossed. Looking forward to the surprise too, free beers for everybody right? Edited May 21, 2012 by fletchar2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I could be at all three not sure though: Burnout: Was really fun when I played it last year for PS+ but never got the DLC trophies, may buy it again. Members Choice: If GTA, U2 or KZ2 are picked Wipeout: Never did download that from the welcome back package, sitting in a download list, might download it now Hopefully I'll see you there, and I can't wait for the surprise.

Sweet, I'll sign up for the weakest class and give all the newcomers a hard time Joking of course, I'll probably be terrible now in any case, it's been around 9 months since I last played. I think I'll be at all of these though so looking forward to it Edited May 21, 2012 by McGarnigle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattigummi Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I don't have Burnout anymore Got it free from PS Plus because of the PSN outage last year. Really wish I still had it, such a fun and great game. If Uncharted 2 or GTA IV get picked from the member's choice I'll be able to join but like I said in that thread, I thought there were issues about joining other people when thye were more than 5 or something. That's what I was told at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireforge Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Sounds good. Hopefully the GN on the 9th will be a game that i own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really cool. I was probably not going to sign up due to being terrible at the game and not wanting to get in the way. But in the lower speed classes I might actually be able to get around the track without hitting the wall in EVERY corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Naruto Shippuden Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I just signed up for all of them. I got to check the store to see if I still have Wipeout HD since I deleted it from my Hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry94_ Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) WipEout HD! I really hope I'm available that night, need to thrash Dark Phantom again (if I'm in his group) EDIT: Oh and of course I'll sign up for phantom speed Edited May 21, 2012 by Harry94_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuffinz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I just signed up for all of them. I got to check the store to see if I still have Wipeout HD since I deleted it from my Hard drive. It should still be in your purchases to redownload. I have to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamma Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Darn, don't have my copy of Burnout Paradise, nor any of the games on the Members Choice... and I'm pretty sure I'll be out of town for the 16th. Bawls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzler Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wipeout HD, nice definately be there for that one, and hopefully the members choice if I own the game that wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx_Progenitor_xX Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Burnout Paradise!?!? Awesome!! Haven't played that game in a looong time. Looking forward to finding out what the surprise is going to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShieldWarden Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Welp, I don't have Burnout, but hopefully the 9th is Uncharted 2 so I can attend 2 of those GN. I'm definitely not passing up WipeOut. Not a chance. Looking forward to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case I would love to join a Wipeout HD GN, I was the king of Wipeout 2097 Haven't played much of Wipeout HD on the PS3 though.

ub4of Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Awesome stuff. I am definitely up for the Burnout GN, what is the cheapest price i can get the game for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Phew, don't have Burnout anymore, but I'll be out of the country on that night anyway. Looking forward to getting absolutely smashed in WipEout, unless I actually boot it up and put in a bit of practice beforehand... Fingers crossed for either a GTA IV or UC2 game night (which, if the polls continue as they currently are, is looking most likely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
