Support NeoGAF

[Kagari]

I've shot an email to the writer of the article since Joystiq is the only one reporting this, asking if he recieved direct confirmation from Square Enix that it wouldn't be on PSN.

I can also try poking S-E PR.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Not as big of a deal with CFW around.

Agreed (since it's how I've been playing KH: BBSFM on my Go), but for those people that don't have access to a CFW 1000/2000 and have a Go only, it really does suck for them.

Hopefully SE will announce a PSN release.

 

[StuBurns]

I don't really care personally in terms of this game, I was just going to buy which ever version was cheaper, but Type-0 I really hope they get on PSN.

 

[Snaku]

Poke em with something sharp.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That would be great.

 

[seady]

Isn't PSN share across multiple platform? Be it PSP or NGP.
If it is not on PSN now, it means it won't be there for NGP too. It's not like they are making a new store for the NGP.

 

[Omiee]

if this is not on psn im not getting it, im only getting psp titles now that i can download later on my ngp

 

[TheSeks]

What the fuck.

I guess I'll buy the retail box. But I was gonna buy it off PSN day one if that was the case. Square, you fuck heads. There is no excuse for this like there is Kingdom Hearts. :|

 

[depward]

Yep, no sale from me, then. Nice job SE!

 

[Jigsaw]

btw the european "twisted edition"

red umd case?do want!

 

[StuBurns]

It's pretty twisted to not put it on PSN yeah.

EDIT: No Lightning outfit in the UK version? For shame.

 

[Emitan]

Good, no Square tax this time. Dissidia 012 is also supposedly $29.99 just so you guys know.

It's hard to tax something no one is buying.

 

[Classic_Gs]

Very disappointed that there is not a PSN release at launch, fail.

 

[Jeels]

Good, no Square tax this time. Dissidia 012 is also supposedly $29.99 just so you guys know.

As is Final Fantasy IV Complete. So much Square Enix goodness.

 

[duckroll]

[StuBurns]

????

I was just wondering because that picture shows a page with her outfits and Lightning isn't there. That doesn't really mean anything either way though, that's why I asked.

It's 2 pages of an artbook thingy... wut...

 

[entremet]

Square's been a disaster this generation, with odd ball decisions all around.

 

[StuBurns]

It's 2 pages of an artbook thingy... wut...

I was just asking. It seems like by the contents of that page, it should be on it, that's all.

 

[LiK]

UMD drives are GO!

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Finally, feels like I've been waiting for this game for bloody forever. Count me in.

 

[duckroll]

I was just asking. It seems like by the contents of that page, it should be on it, that's all.

Why? Those are not all the costumes, there are probably another 2 pages. Or 4...

 

[StuBurns]

I'd only seen those four plus Lightning, and I'd seen them in a few different places so I thought that's all there were. Fair enough.

 

[graywolf323]

Square-Enix USA must be run by idiots if the Japanese release was put on PSN but the American is going to be UMD only

 

[Snaku]

It's like they want people to pirate it. =/

 

[duckroll]

There are like 10 costumes.

 

[vall03]

damn! same day as Trails in the Sky! anyway, still Day 1 for me

 

[Yaweee]

NM, then.

Still, I'd prefer some direct word from Square.

 

[SolidSnakex]

At this point, I just don't believe the note about no PSN version. That the OP's question in the comments section got deleted, and no other sites have any kind of press release, should be red flags.

The fact that they don't mention that it'll be available on PSN in the press release is very telling. Here's their Lord of Arcana press release

Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX interactive entertainment products in North America, announced today the release date for Lord of Arcana, the upcoming action role-playing game drenched in mythic lore and brutal combat. Lord of Arcana is currently set to release at North American retailers and via digital download from the PlayStation Store on January 25, 2011 for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. Players will soon unchain a visceral storm of metal and blood on hordes of nefarious creatures as they battle to become the Lord of Arcana.

[outunderthestars]

God I hate Square.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Good, no Square tax this time. Dissidia 012 is also supposedly $29.99 just so you guys know.

If the Splinter Cell trilogy turns out well, then March is going to be rather big for me with Dissidia 012. I'm liking the $30 price tag, as well.

 

[Takao]

Actually, my comments are there now, it apparently just takes Joystiq 20 minutes for them to appear?

 

[Iron_Scimitar]

BULLFUCK.

right when i sell my PSP and no PSN release planned.

Sent to die indeed.

 

[Teknoman]

If no PSN version is true, that does suck for those that own PSP go...and choices are always nice, but if you want the game and have the ability to play it, I dont think you should pass it up.

 

[Pezking]

No PSN version?

That's a good sign.

Down with the pestilence that is Digital Distribution!

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

If there's no PSN version on release, I won't be buying it on release... I'll wait until we see if it ends up on PSN with the release of the NGP, and if that doesn't happen, I'll buy a used copy of the UMD for $10 in November...

Rumours are abound that there won’t be a PSN release for this in the US, despite it being a day and date release in Japan.
So, is there going to be a PSN version of the game in Europe/US?
I’ll be extra cheeky and also ask where the hell is the Dissidia Duodecim release date


Posted on 2 February, 2011 at 4:09 pm by Rob Rutter
Hi HideenAway, I’m afraid there’s no news I can talk about yet on a PSN release.
As for Dissidia Duodecim, please wait just a little longer

It's not just for Go owners. I don't own a Go but I've bought every PSP game I wanted on PSN since they started doing it. I knew it would be future proof with PSP2. I also like not having a disc, not wasting batteries spinning, not hearing the seek noise, faster loading, etc, etc.

As for CFW I got out of that rat race partly because of PSN releases and I don't think PSP2 will be cracked as easily (at least I hope not).

So in conclusion, fuck that noise.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011...-coming-to-psp/comment-page-1/#comment-131316

That be some bullshit right there.

I guess it should be said that on their site there is no PSN logo for the game. Then again, there's one on Birth By Sleep's site, and we know how that went...

 

[JWong]

SE openly wants to not be backwards compatible come NGP.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Why exactly are people getting so worked up over a no PSN release? Have something to do with not being able to run CFW on it or what?

It won't be future BC for NGP

Nearly word for word describes my situation.

I own a Go but have been PSN only for a while. I got the Go when I realized that I didn't play a UMD game in almost 6 months

Bought KH on UMD and gave that away almost a week later (the hand-me-down portion of the gifts I gave to my brother on his birthday)

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I hope they include the DLC Dissidia costume in the US release.

Yes, me too. There's been no mention of the DLC costumes in the US. But the costumes have been acknowledged in the UK & Europe. WTF?!

 

[Suzzopher]

How would S-E sell 3rd Birthday NGP cards re-releases?

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

It won't be future BC for NGP

People plan on playing The 3rd Bday on the NGP? lol The same can be said of any game that came out before the big DD rush on PSN.

 

[Durante]

The awesome EU special edition sucks if you resolved to not buy any UMDs anymore.

People actually care about games being on the PSN?

I want to play them on NGP.

 

[duckroll]

People plan on playing The 3rd Bday on the NGP? lol The same can be said of any game that came out before the big DD rush on PSN.

Hmm? I don't think it's the same at all. The game is available in Japan on PSN, it was up day and date with the JP release. It was released on all Asian PSN stores too. The game is really high end PSP game, and it's a third person shooter with camera controls mapped onto the d-pad. I'm sure a lot of the audience interested in the game in the first place, would like to eventually be able to play it with dual analogs if possible.

 

[Emitan]

People plan on playing The 3rd Bday on the NGP? lol The same can be said of any game that came out before the big DD rush on PSN.

But DD is here now and standard. Comparing a game coming out after the announcement of the NGP to games that came out before DD was even implemented is stupid.

 

[Takao]

I've updated the OP with some news that may frighten Tactics Ogre fans hoping for a PSN release of the remake here.
