I read a preview somewhere that somebody had actually made a fully working Outrun style level.

But I had no idea how as Outrun ran into the screen, not side to side.

Upon reading OPMUK's review it finally hit home......A CHASE camera!!

You can put cameras onto things that chase your characters so you can see them from behind rather than the side. Basically putting your level in 3D. So, build a car, make some side to sidey bits, stick a camera on the back of the car or on something that will always chase it at a reasonable distance and voila!!!

Got my code as well.

Tucked in with the crap scratchcard.

I also subscribed to the magazine. Fingers crossed for the free Blu-ray DvD. Oh, and the Sackboy plushie!!!

Bias is everywhere these days.

I buy Games.tm every month and slowly but surely I've noticed a lean away from the PS3.

There's barely a preview of a PS3 exclusive in there, all the multi-format releases are based on the 360 version, all the specials seem to be based on 360 games.

Even their E3 coverage was biased.

I buy the magazine every month because it's normally very informative. But the bias away from the PS3 is making me slowly but surely turn away.

I will be pouring my vitriol to them soon.

Pre-ordered mine about 5 weeks ago. Before the release date was published. Can't wait, just wish I could get my new hard drive in before then.

But apparently I have to wait 3-4 weeks for my new HD caddy. Sigh.

I will be getting a PSEye especially for this though.

Anyone else got a feeling though that we'll see a spate of reports in the paper of vandalism?

People building assault courses all over the world and slapping stickers and stuff on people and walla because they're copying the game?

Hell, they did it with GTA........

Would PS3 owners really want that?

I don't think so.

Originality > Familiarity.

I haven't got my copy of the mag yet. Wasn't in the newsagent when I got there. Couldn't have been sold out at 8am.

Will try again this afternoon.

The code had better be in there or I wont be happy.

Will I sign up for a subscription for a free sackboy plushie though?........

That is the real question.

I'm 26. I'm a major sucker for this sorta stuff.

Got 4 Mr Potato Heads (Optimus Prime, Darth Vader, Storm Trooper and Spiderman) Had a Link figurine, got a Tidus (FFX) figurine and loads of other **** I don't really need.

A Sackboy plushie would be awesome.

I know, but I gotta fork out for a subscription. And OPMUK aint exactly on my big games magazine to get wish list.

My two must have magazines every month are Edge and Games.tm. Every now and then I'll buy a dedicated magazine, but I don't do it often. So paying out for a subscription is a difficult decision to make.

Their giving out a code for the Kratos sackboy?!?!

(Runs out to buy magazine)

Sorry, just to clarify.

Official Playsation Magazine here in the UK is giving out the codes for the Kratos sackboy. The Nariko sackgirl is being given away to people who pre-order from Play.com here in the UK as well.

As an extra, the first 200 people to subscribe to Official Playsation Magazine UK will get a Sackboy plush toy.

Depends what you like to play

There's LBP coming out soon.

You could buy Wipeout HD and R&C: QfB off of PSN?

I tend to have a wander round the shops or the internet, scope out reviews and the like. Even though I freqeunt 5 or 6 gaming websites I buy like 3 or 4 magazines a month to help me keep up to date and to get an informed opinion of a game before launch.
