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?

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.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
