-Blast Factor: Advanced Research expansion - $4.99
-Blast Factor - update
-Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 demo

One more thing.

HOW TO: Install the BF: Advanced Research demo and game said:
Straight from Andy O'Neil at Bluepoint games:

BTW, if you just want to get the patch without buying the expansion, you can just download the demo and it'll update the existing full/co-op version. If you want to check out the BF: AR demo, and you've already bought the game, you'll have to delete the current full version and install the demo fresh.

So there ya go. Kinda confusing, but that's the way Sony's infrastructure for the PSN is at this point, and not much can be done by devs methinks.

Why are you putting unconfirmed content in the thread title?
Click to expand...

Because it's pretty likely judging from past weeks' European information. I'll eat crow if I have to.
 
Been wanting to try out GRAW for quite some time. This will be interesting.
 
Maybe I'll get a HOME invite this week...... who am I kidding, I'll be HOMEless until its release. I need the Ratchet demo soon.
 
ari said:
what do we got in store for the update tanod.
Click to expand...

Blast Factor: Advanced Research w/ demo, the US Darkness demo, and the R&C demo are all supposed to be coming very soon.
 
I was waiting impatently for this. Thanks Tanod.

GRAW2 demo would be sweet. Ign put a preview up today and says it's looking very nice.

Sux I'm getting close to my DL limit.... Damn E3 and HD videos
 
Again, if youre going give your thread a title with a specific date in it, how bout posting just the stuff that might be coming that date? 80% of your post each week is cut and paste future items nobody has any clue about. The post is 20% substance, 80% dreamland every week.
 
So we don't get nothing this week?

There's a 99% chance BF:AR is coming today. At the very least, it's coming out in some region today. :)

If the future stuff wasn't in, we'd have to backtrack through his older threads to find the stuff. Tanod does a great job.

And - yay - looking forward to trying out the GRAW 2 demo tonight.

I wish we were getting R&C instead of GRAW2. I guess the Full Moon Show later today will have some tidbits about a demo.
Click to expand...
Yes! I forgot that the Full Moon Show is coming out today. Anyways, GRAW2 should be fun, though I've already played through it on the 360.

Julius Eggbert from Factor 5 is the mystery guest today. At least JS hinted as much.

Norse, your criticism is noted. You say the same thing every week. Everything you need to see is in the first 20-30 lines and the rest is sectioned off so you can skip all the rest pretty easily. It's not getting changed though.
 
So, when will we get to know the US stuff? Í'm pretty curious, and I hope that it contains something good. An R&C demo or something. :D
 
'STUFF YOU CAN FIND ONLY ON THE FOREIGN STORES:

JAPAN:"

You forgot to put Piyotama there. It's the best JP exclusive PSN game right now IMO :-)
 
sprocket said:
Bladestorm is a horrible horrible game. :(
Click to expand...

It's not out yet. Do you mean the demo? I have heard that it's better than Dynasty Warriors at least. That's not saying very much, considering the Dynasty Warriors series is the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of games.

EDIT: About Piyotama: I only wanted to put stuff in that section that are either free downloads or the PS1 games because that's what people who don't live in Japan have seemed to be the most interested in.
 
Waiting for GRAW 2 Demo.
With Dead Rising, the only 360 game that i want on PS3.
Please, I hope that sony do not delay the demo release.
 
Hey tanod how do you know that the R & C demo doesn't hit this week? I thought that's what they said last week.
 
I hope the US gets GRAW2 and not the Darkness. I have zero interest in the latter. What's with the dearth of PSN games lately? Desperately waiting for Echochrome and Everyday Shooter.

Soo what your saying is that it is pretty much the best thing ever?

Pretty much. I like Dynasty Warriors because it's mindless fun. Other people have a stick up their butt. :P

That being said, I've never spent more than $20 new on a Dynasty Warriors game.

crisis: I don't have any information on the R&C demo other than some speculation in the thread from last week. What I do have is what JS told me and he said "near future."

Yeah, I don't think we're getting a R&C demo today... they want to give it some space from Heavenly Sword and GRAW 2 for maximum hypage, and even still we would know it's coming days ago.

I'm guessing it'll come in two weeks after Sony dishes out the Darkness and GRAW 2, but that could be wishful thinking. :P

no way its not like DW AT ALL.. its not an action game.. you got these stupid timers that let you attack. So you can only attack in a small string ONCE EVERY 4 secs or so.

its really awful.

Hold R1 for regular attacks....

Bladestorm is one of the coolest games I've played all year.

Controlling a squadron of knights, archers, horseman... oh man, so much satisfaction.

You need to read the guide and try a little harder.

EDIT:
The game is basically a RTS mixed with Dynasty Warriors.
It's Kessen.

Well duh, it's an action RTS game in the vein of Kessen.
