NF Game Night UPDATE Category: People

Well, it's been quite a while without an update about it, probably because the NF community it's still rather small and the first attempt was a failure, I think another step needs to be made in order to make this a reality. This blog has the purpose to share some ideas about an upcoming NF game Night. Also, since I only own a PS3, I can host the game night for that platform. Besides, users from other systems are more than welcome to host and give some feedback about this event.

Below are the NF users that are in my PSN friends list:

FetusZero
King
SvV_Ying
nerdboy
fishdalf
pantrabdps
Big_Boss
David_D
c_rake
-Moroes-
AC
azn_pride

The number is 12, and I think we can get a good ammount of users joining the game night. What needs to be done is to set up a few things and I would like to look first and I think it can be very important. I also would like you to express your opinion about these items, and feel free to post your suggestions/ideas in the comments section.

Launch Date - A day should be arranged among us to start the game night.

Timezones - Certainly it won't be an issue.

Game - It needs to be a game with online support , and still with a good online community. Also, a game that everyone owns because it would be a lot easier to arrange a game night regarding the platform. Besides, we should discuss the game options(private, password protected) and the game modes(TDM, capture the flag, etc).

Chatroom - It's imperative the use of one because it's easier to communicate with the rest of the gamers. We can use the chatroom feature on the PS3, headset, or even an external chatroom.

Prize(s) - A special emblem could be created for those who joined in the first NF game Night. Also, an extra emblem can be awarded to following game night's MVP(similar to GS).

Online Etiquette - A NF moderator should participate in the game night in order to make sure that no one bashes the other players. Anyway, if still a NF moderator can't join the game night, I think everyone is responsable enough to have fun and not to ruin the game night for the others.

Advertising - Some members can advertise the event via FaceBook, Twitter, etc. With that we might even get some new members for the site.

I think I have covered the most important items to actually built a solid feature. Remember, this is a community and with the help of everyone we should get this to work! I am counting with the help of everyone interested to bring this live!

Update: A thread was created at the GGD Discussion Board for keeping the discussion going on.

My PSN is Yuna7780

If we can have a game night this week, it would be lovely and I have a blu-tooth and a build in mic on my PC. I recommend Skype for an external chat room.

Also, my timezone is US central time.

Let's find a game where everyone can play... the game I own with the most people we can play with is CoD: WaW. I also have RE5, LBP, and I have money to rent a game if we do it this week.

@Yuna7780 - Thanks for your suggestions! One PSN friend request is coming, please accept it. I also have skype in my PC and I can use my headset as well. As for the game you have mentioned, I only have CoD: WaW, without the DLC. I think we can do this as soon we get more members to join.

well on emergency cases (such as game nights), i can remove the internet cable from my PC and plug it into my PS3. ID is BrunoBRS (duh! )

the games i own with online support are: Street Fighter IV and LittleBig Planet.

games with online support i plan on owning: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Blazblue: Continuum Shift.

canana

@BrunoBRS - Sure, that would be great! I don't have those games, but I am sure that we can set something in the future.

i can always rent the game too. as long as it's not a recent release (they're kinda hard to get)

Have fun! I don't have a PS3. I want one deathly though.

canana

@Yaoi - Thanks! I hope you can get one soon so you can join us in future game nights.

Well, you know mine, you added me the other day. My only problem at the moment is online. I need to fix my settings for network and figure out what the heck is wrong. Everything was fine for the first couple of weeks or so, but it suddenly started going haywire. Hopefully I can figure out what's wrong with my PS3's internet connection.

canana

@azn_pride - I was about to edit the blog post by including your username, it's done now. Too bad about your internet connection, I hope you can fix it as soon as possible.

I'll have to check that up, it will highly depend on my availability, especially regarding the extra hours we need to put in at work, but for information I'll list all of the games I have with online support on PS3:

- Bionic Commando
- Bioshock 2
- Chronicles of Riddick
- Killzone 2
- Little Big Planet
- Skate 2 & Skate 3
- Uncharted 2
- Warhawk

The ones with the highest number of people definitely is Killzone 2 and Warhawk which both goes up to 32 players online.

-Moroes-

Killzone 2 is looking good.

King

on Jul 04, 2010

For games, it seems like a lot of us have LBP, which won't hold the enough players, but I'd love to do some 4 player with you guys at some point. MW2 could work, though I'm really not a fan of that game. What about Warhawk?

Echofoxz

No love for the 360

I'm not a MS fanboy, i like PS3 better actually, but i don't own one

So, maybe after the success you'll have on this game night, we can set up a game night for the 360, and i'll definitely particpate in it.

canana

@FetusZero - Thanks for your suggestions! The games that you have mentioned can work. Killzone 2 and Warhawk are two strong possibilities and both have the chance of setting up private matches.

@-Moroes- Noted.

@King - Too bad that I don't have LBP anymore, the game was perfect because we only need 4 people to set up a game. Warhawk is ok, I have it, but we need more people for a game.

@Echofoxz - Thanks for showing interess in participating. I am sure when the time comes, you can host a game night for the 360.

Have fun! I also don't have a PS3, so I cannot play with you.

SvV_Ying

Good idea I'm in.

As for the time I don't really care. I go to bed late and have lots of time this week. Untill coming sunday I can do a game night every day. About the games, I have Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2, GTA IV, 2010 FIFA World Cup and Borderlands with online support.

canana

on Jul 05, 2010

@monica_cz - Sorry, but you can help advertise the event, right?

@SvV_Ying - Great, now we need to pick the game because we have a good ammount of users that can join.

SvV_Ying

on Jul 05, 2010

I think Modern Warfare 2 could be a good choice. Possibility for private matches and I saw more people who own the game.

canana

on Jul 05, 2010

@SvV_Ying - MW2 seems to be a good game to play online. I have it, king and -Moroes also have the game. That makes 4...

Killzone 2, Resistance 2 and Warhawk also sounds like good options for a game night.

SvV_Ying

on Jul 05, 2010

To play a shooter I think we should at least have 6 or 8 people to play 3 vs. 3 or 4 vs. 4. Maybe we could contact some NoobFeed members from your list individually in case they haven't read this blog.

canana

on Jul 05, 2010

@SvV_Ying - I am currently doing some research via PSN. I would say probably we pick Borderlands because it only needs 4 players to set up a co op game.

Koshai

on Jul 05, 2010

That's quite a great initiative. Good luck with it. I dont have PS3 but still i can cheer everyone up!!

canana

on Jul 05, 2010

@koshai - Thank you! Can you host on PC or in any other console?

Sleven

on Jul 05, 2010

It's a great move. I totally support it

canana

on Jul 05, 2010

@Sleven - Thanks! You can always advertise this at Facebook. Every litle help counts.

Koshai

on Jul 05, 2010

@canana : yea i can host the 360 one! i just need the Gold connection first. i can do that when i go back to the states.

i can also do the pc too!!!

canana

on Jul 05, 2010

@koshai - Sounds nice. Would you mind posting here your gamertag and your Steam ID?

Koshai

on Jul 05, 2010

done and done!!!

Tanya

I like this idea very much. We now have bunch of active PS3 owner who can start something like this. Maybe the admins should consider giving an emblem for the tournament to show their appreciation

Well I don't have a lot of the games listed, but when things get firmed up and if I have the game I will see what I can do about actually joining, otherwise if we have an external chat like through Skype I can be around to monitor that if I'm not working, but I'm not seeing anything major going wrong with it but since it will be an official Noobfeed game night if any Moderations need handing out and it's at a time I can monitor the event then I will do so. But if it's MW 2 or Killzone 2 I don't have either of those games, and also don't have a lot of the others such as Warhawk. But once the details get firmed up I can confirm or deny, but for now I will say if possible then I'll be there.

canana

on Jul 06, 2010

@Tanya - Thanks! We have a lot of PS3 users, and I hope one day the NF community can organize the event with other platforms.

@David_D - I think there is a strong possibility to the 1st Unofficial NF CGN kick off this Sunday, we need to start asap because when NF gets bigger, we can learn from our previous experiences and make it perfect.
