PlayStation Store - Peggle/Peggle Nights, Resident Evil 2, Soul Reaver!!!

Mr_Grinch

The JPN store has gifted me with Home betas and LittleBigPlanet betas too, so I can't complain. I feel it'd be worth noting if anything in particular (such as the Resident Evil 5 demo that hit the 360 JPN store) came up that would be of major interest. Otherwise I'd say it's a bit of a waste of time.

Also is anyone else going to be sad enough to be online on Xmas day?

Don't play much multiplayer though.

I am debating whether or not to trip-dip on Lumines when it comes out.

I recall getting to play the Folklore/soul and Echochrome demos a little early thanks to the Japanese PS Store. But aside from those two demos, and the slew of PS1 games that have no good reason for not being on the US store, I can't think of any great exclusive content.

You didn't download the Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan demos? Shame on you sir, shame on you.

I don't see why it's 'hard' to post the Japanese update. Copying and pasting from Neogaf is hard? Who cares if one week they just upload a couple of trailers or something, one of those trailers might be for Yakuza 3.

Is anyone playing Crash Commandos? SOLDAT was a like, a sordid affair I had a couple years ago and I'm really thinking of picking it up...

I'm going to pick up crash commandos soon when I have a bit more free time to play.

urahonky

Oh and I don't have a headset yet.

Neurotika

Thanks for starting this thread, now I don't ever have to go back to the horrible pit that is the official Sony forums!

Dodge Aspen

Holy fuck is that a big store update. Is this a special week, or are all the updates this huge? I thought XBL Marketplace was pretty sweet with it's content until I saw that list in the OP.

Monkeydrye

Been gobbling up PSN content since I got my PS3 over a year ago. I even dig Qore most of the time (don't hate me).

Add me to the list please: Monkeydrye/sghoul/US/Yes

Also, when is Flock! due out? It looks interesting.

Radikal_Dreamer

You can add me to the list too

RDreamer/US/Yes

I'll be rocking out the Metal Gear LBP stuff when those come out, definitely.

I sure love me some PSN store. If only they would put out more PSone classics.

Please add me to the OP. PSN: kurod007 / US

That paintinator is so bought.

bficky

Add me to the list also.

PSN: BFicky / US / not yet

The only PSN games I've bought are Echochrome and R&CF: Quest for Booty (I have Pain but got it free from the MGS4 bundle). I'll get PAA Episode 1 soon and they Trine game looks great. And while I'm not a big fan of MGS, I am going to get the LBP level pack ($5.99 is too good to pass up).

I'm focusing on single player games at the moment (R&CF, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, PoP), but I'm always up for some LBP or Burnout Paradise multiplayer.

I bought it and have much love for it. And yes, it's basically a clone of SOLDAT for the PS3

Me too. I'm finding that alot of the PSN content is top notch quality stuff.

urahonky

Ohhh. Gamefly is sending me Ratchet and Clank and Warhawk. Should I be looking into getting a headset for Warhawk? Or is it single player as well?

skyknyt

I'm gonna buy the heck out of the MGS LBP content! God, it all looks so good.

Warhawk is multiplayer-only and you are seriously missing out if you don't use a headset. Bamelin runs the PA group thread here.

Edit: Also regarding game-sharing, I strongly recommend not doing this, as it requires that you activate your PSN account on someone else's PS3, permanently, and this will cause you a lot of headaches in the long run.

urahonky

D'oh. Okay. I'll look into buying a headset then. I just didn't want to spend any more money till the new year. :P

Warhawk is fine without a headset. Even though I have one, I never used to use it when playing Warhawk. It's a game that certainly benefits from lots of team communication, but in my experience there just wasn't much of it, so you were fine without one.

Lord Yod

Any USB headset will do and many of them are cheap. You can see 'em on Ebay for $10 or so.

Ninja edit: In my experience, if you team isn't using their mics they're doing it wrong. I haven't played with the PA group but I'd imagine that most of them use them. Also, it's a $400-$600 console, you really can't afford a $10 mic?

greeble

Yeah unless you are playing with a clan there isn't a whole lot of people talking in warhawk. (You actually find more of it in smaller games though, can be very useful in core control which is kinda a collection/ctf thing with multiple flags at once) Also you can use any usb or bluetooth headset you might have lying around, you could also use a usb mic from rockband or singstar or something in a pinch. (There are options for push to talk or open mic)

Six

Just so I'm clear, I'm not saying Warhawk isn't fun with a headset, just that one isn't necessary for the game to be fun. I barely used mine at all and still found the game to be awesome.

I didn't get much into the PS1 era, but I would kill to have the original Galerians and T'ai Fu. It was a 3D beat-em up with a kung-fu tiger who learns various styles from different animals. The Crane taught crane style, et cetera.

What I played of Galerians was pretty awesome too. You're a kid trapped in some government stronghold and when you go off your meds people's heads explode when they get too close to you.

From a faux-executive standpoint though, what they need up there is FFVII. You can't tell me that wouldn't do better than half a million.

Also: OP, I have a headset. And I play most of my online with some dudes from Miami, we never have much of a problem.

Then you should be clamoring for more PS One Classics even more than we are. No clue what you're missing. The PS1 selection is only eclipsed by the amazing PS2 selection.

FFVII anything on PSN is guaranteed money. FFVII anything on anything is guaranteed money. I guess Square is holding out so they can rerelease it themselves, but still...

They could release a straight port as a PS One classic, a Crisis Core-styled prettied-up remake for PSP, and an HD remake for PS3.

I would buy all three, and also buy the PSP to play that remake on.

Same here.

And also the corresponding PlayArts action figures.

What's this "paintinator" thing people keep mentioning? Is that Trine or is there something equally as cool on the horizon?

It's a new item that comes for LittleBigPlanet with the Metal Gear Solid pack.

I picked it up from a guy at work who was selling a 60GB for $300. I didn't have the cash, so I had to take out of my school fun. That on top of all the Christmas gifts and medications I have to buy... Means I maxed out my $5000 credit line last week. I'm trying to stop spending money if I can help it.

Has any recent news been released on Fat Princess? This looked like a day one purchase for me but it seems like it fell off the radar.

Bamelin

I have a headset as well (PSN Bamelin), located EST (Canada)

Oh and everyone needs to buy Crash Commandos.

Sleeper PSN hit of the year in my opinion.

Not that I can tell. The Playstation website has it set as TBA. They're probably waiting for the whiners to find something else to complain about. And it's pretty funny; I hadn't had much interest in the game until I looked up information on it, and now I'll be getting that fairly recently after it's released, if not the first day. (And Crash Commandos is so bought too after OTRSPOD2 and PAIN.)

Early 2009. IGN or 1UP had an interview with the developer just a few days back.

Btw, much better formatting in the OP.

Scrublet

TheScrublet / US / No. Anyone who wants to work on Bling Patrol for WipeoutHD or social-related LBP trophies feel free to message me. Really good OP btw, as the Wii VC hasn't had much interesting to me recently, I've gotta say the DLC on the PSN is vastly underrated and underpromoted.

Also, just to throw it out there. Somehow a high-def remake of Lemmings snuck on there for SIX DOLLARS and I never saw it till last night. I highly recommend it after playing it myself. And if anyone can figure out how some of those assholes saved all ten lemmings on 'Total Eclipse of the Lem' in 'Fun' difficulty, I'd love to know how cause I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out how that was accomplished (tho you only need 4).
