I have set up my hometheater pc as a media server for the playstation 3 and have many tv shows on that server. When I watch on the PS3 it will play one episode, then at the end of that episode it will just stop instead of continuing on to the next episode (file). Is there a kind-of "play all" feature for the PS3 when watching from a media server? Thanks be to all.
Participate in the conversation by leaving your comment below.Chances are that if you have a PS3, you saved up a great deal of money to obtain it. In order to get the most out of your system, its a good idea to know what games are exclusive to it, and take advantage of that knowledge. If you decided on getting a PS3, why only play games you could play on the Xbox 360 anyway? Having said that, here is a list of the top 5 platform exclusive PS3 games:
5#: WarHawk
Warhawk is a multiplayer-only game developed by Sony themselves. The team-based online gameplay is, if you step back and look at it, much like an all-out war for up to 32 players. And whether you are infantry, a tank driver, or pilot of a “Warhawk” combat airplane itself, the gameplay is outstanding.
The objective, as like in other similar games(like Battlefield and Battlefront), is to continue capturing spawn points so troops can respawn closer and closer to the enemy’s base. The mechanics may seem complicated at first, but the gameplay itself is in essence very straightforward, so it does not take long for the new player to figure out what he’s suppose to be doing and get into the game.
#4: Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance is one of the more wellknown of the PS3 exclusive franchises. Resistance: Fall of Man is a first-person shooter developed by Insomniac, and it delivers on just about everything you’ve come to expect from the genre: a lengthy campaign with options for split-screen co-op, online multiplayer, and plenty of shooting action.
The story revolves around an alternate timeline, where WWII did not take place, in the stead of an extra-terrestrial assault by aggressive mutated creatures that take over a good part of the globe.
For fans of shooters, Resistance: Fall of Man is a must-have.
#3: Little Big Planet
Little Big Planet is an amazing creation. The game features around seven hours or so of a single-player mode, but the real action is in the level-editing system. Players can create their own levels with an ease never before seen in theese types of games. Never before have a community of gamers been able to create and share over the internet in the fashion this game does.
#2: Dead Space
Dead Space is a Resident Evil-esque over-the-shoulder third-person shooter. The game revolves around a outer-space mining engineer responding to a distress signal. The game’s style seems to borrow from many different franchises(Resident Evil, Metroid Prime, and the movie Alien comes to mind). But in any case, the game retains the sense of a deep and somehow original atmosphere.
The player eventually finds himself isolated on a dark space vessel filled with deadly alien lifeforms. The reason the combat is so intense is in part due to the creepy atmosphere, as well as the fact that the player cannot, unlike in Resident Evil 4, pause the game to switch between weapons, heal up, etc. If there’s an alien breathing down your neck and you need to heal before he gets to you, you’re going to have to find a good place to hide from him and do your stuff. Such immersiveness is the future of the horror-shooter.
#1: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Guns of the Patriots is the fourth game in the Metal Gear Solid series. The series’ gameplay has always been known for it’s stealth-action and dynamic storytelling, and 4 is no exception. In fact, it is being heralded as by far the best Metal Gear yet.
The story takes place in the far future where war and terrorism is rampant and largely unchallenged. The main character, Snake, is now old, but has been assigned one last mission: to kill the antagonist, Liquid Oscilot.
The game flawlessly balances together many kinds of game mechanics, allowing you to play the game almost however you want to. For example, stealth-action requirements for certain levels(for example,where you would usually not be able to let yourself be seen, etc) are not nearly as restricting. If you want to race through each, blasting apart your enemies as an alternative to stealth-action, you can. Not only that, but the game features solid online multiplayer.
A fitting end to the series, Metal Gear Solid 4 is currently the very best reason there is to have a PS3.
What are your thoughts on the subject?The Nintendo Wii is a radical departure not only for Nintendo, but for video gaming across the board. Nintendo took a gamble but it obviously paid off, since it is now the number one selling video console.
What makes the Wii different? We can highlight two areas: how the games are played and who the target market is.
Wii gameplay is nothing short of a gaming revolution. For over twenty-five years, gamers were forced to hold a small gamepad or joystick. Both types of the traditional controller were prone to create hand and fingers cramps. Certain kinds of controllers with fairly sharp corners, most notably the Nintendo NES, were proned to drill gouged-out areas on the inside of gamers’ hands. Apparently the games were so intriguing that they ignored the pain and kept playing!
A common feature of the traditional controller is they require quick movement of the players’ thumbs and in some cases, fingers. While the Wii controllers also contain a few buttons that are controlled by thumbs and fingers, the primary movements are enacted by hand movement. This is a much more natural type of play that is very satisfying to many people.
This new style of controller lends itself very well to certain types of gameplay, most notably sports such as baseball or tennis. Nintendo has constructed their system so the controller is held and operated in a fashion very similar to the method in which the actual sport is played. So when you are a batter in a baseball game, you must hold the controller in a position as you would a baseball bat. When hitting a tennis ball, you merely flick your wrist just like you would with a tennis racquet.
This leads to the next area which makes the Wii stand out. With this product, Nintendo is targetting people who have not traditionally played video games while at the same time, creating a system that current gamers can appreciate and enjoy. Not everyone can get the hang of grasping a controller with both hands, and for both those types of people, the Wii is a perfect choice.
Nintendo’s newest console and it’s Wii Remote technology remain unrivaled, and for the most part, unchallenged. The exceptions are that of Sony’s PS3 “Sixaxis” controller, and that was a last-minute deal, just months before the PlayStation 3 was released and not long after the Wii’s motion-sensing technology was announced. The Sixasis controller incorporates some of the motion-sensing aspects of the Wii but retains the old familiar controller style.
Also, Microsoft recently announced the development of an Xbox 360 “Remote” that is reported to showcase the same technology as the Wii remote. What this next Xbox “Remote” will deliver in terms of gaming experience remains to be seen.
Nintendo is not sitting on its heels and continues to blaze new trails. For example, a reported new technological enhancement will plug into the Wii remote and provide more accurate sensing. This will lead to a better gaming playfield for everyone as Sony and Microsoft try to catch up.
