Hey guys was hoping for a little bit of help. Got a invite to a closed store sale of JB through work and I was hoping Haze or Super Mario Galaxy would be out so I wouldnt be in this situation but I am planning on getting 1 game tonight and I dont know which one to get. Can any who has played either give me the pros and cons etc.

I dont think it will be much of a discount but ive finished most of the games on my wii and ps3 and need something to fill the gap before haze and super mario galaxy come out and these both caught my eye.

Hmm it's hard to say,

Neither of those games are revolutionary. Sure the controls in metroid are all new, but the way the game plays is the same as the first two on gamecube.

I would expect that ratchet would be fairly similar to the first 4 games as well.

I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Personally i'd get metroid though.

Haven't played both of those series however my logic says the following:

Ratchet & Clank is multi platform game so developer would try to minimise the variances among consoles (except for may be the motion sensor thing)

Metroid on the other hand is for Nintendo only so everything in the game should have been optimised for the system and make the most of it's capabilities.

Personally I would pick Metroid although I heard it is nothing revolutionary from the Gamecube's version. But if the last one you played is SNES may be you can somehow relate to the story or gameplay in this one?

Isnt Ratchet and Clank a PS3 exclusive though???

I'd say ratchet then if you've never played a metroid game. You'll find ratchet easier to get into.

Metroid on the otherhand while it's brilliant some people just can't stick with it.

thanks for all your help guys it was a hard decision and at one stage I almost bought both but I took your first pick Kralster and bought Metroid. its a pretty cool game from what I've played so far. it feels like the story is very similar to the alien movies which is cool. your right about the controls though I'm still getting used to it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
