I noticed that on your list and it made me cry inside. I was hoping for an earlier release. :(
 
Ok thanks. Sorry I can't check up on these things myself, as almost all gaming websites are blocked at work >_<.

Any decent reviews on FolkSoul, or is it fairly mediocre? Anyone here played it? I'm kind of interested. I migh check out the JP demo.
 
The dub for the italian HS animated prologue pt.1 was really, really bad.

Also, for those that asked, naturally it is free. And it is in 720p (at least the italian one is 720p).
And, imho, not even that great animation wise.

I hope Everyday Shooter will be released fairly soon, I'm uber hyped for this title. :D

i need something to rotate with SS:HD in my "i want to play a game for 10 minutes" category. Although that usually fails and i end up playing SSHD for like 3 hours, cursing
 
Nolan. said:
Arrgh how much longer do we have to wait for folklore.?

You know the JP store has a Folklore(soul) demo up... I downloaded a bit back but haven't had a chance to check it out yet....
 
brandonh83 said:
Do we know how long the prologue is?

Not very long. There are going to be 5 parts leading up to the game release. IIRC, the GAP video stream I watched was about a minute or two long.

It looks kind of like Samurai Jack. I thought it was really cool. :D
 
tanod said:

It's made by people who made Samurai Jack :-) I only skimmed through it because I want to wait for high quality version, but it looked very impressive artistically and technically. More complex animation than S.Jack even.

I was going to say. A sit down with SS:HD usually ends up as a 2-3 hour gaming session that always ends in screaming expletives at your TV.

ES seems like it will be the perfect escape to regain your composure.

hmmm, I thought the dialague was a little weak...but the animation is absolutely fantastic...People comparing it samurai Jack...this is a different level

Where did you get confirmation for Piyotama in NA this week?
IGN

tanod said:
Also, I just learned this the other day but the Samurai Jack studio won a ton of Emmy awards for their animation work.
Doesn't surprise me. S.Jack is probably the best animated short series I've seen in the last... God knows how many years.
 
kaching said:

PS3 fanboy and IGN.

Wow. What an update.

Can't wait to play all those demos. Not to mention the free PSone games and Loco Roco screensaver.

Awesome !

:/

What is -Piyotama (puzzle game)?

Got any screens NFO?

I found shots - its another one of those Bejewed, Go! Puzzlw, tetris, columns, etc clones....

(ok i know technically its not a clone - i just dont want any more puzzle games thta look like that)
 
Piyotama is really nice. I got it from JP store, and it's probably the best puzzler available on PSN, and definitely the best looking game of it's kind I've seen (well, IMHO at least). It has some great artworks and sounds, and is very fun to play.

Why did I buy this system again? I am such a sucker for new technology... but normally I use the technology...

I played the Ninja Gaiden demo, I watched Casino Royale and started Resident Evil 4 on it... that is it...

I don't feel like spending $29 on movies... I want Blu-Ray's at the $13.99 DVD release date price...

I am an idiot... I really want Hot Shots Golf but do not like the fact that I can only get the import version...

I don't even know what Samurai Jack is, but to me the animation in the HS prologue was disappointing. I expected something more... fluid, I guess? The initial bit with Nariko's hair was rather meh to me.

Thank you! Me = Stupid

I have a buddy who wants to buy it for $200... "to take it off your hands"

I have already lost $100 on the price drop...

Suck it up and wait for the games I want... Hot Shots Golf and... and... I should download that asteroid/planet shooter...

If you want Hot Shots so bad why don't you just import it. All the menus and stuff is already translated here in the Hot Shots thread.

Yes, please, anything that'll create one less post of someone whining about not putting some system to use...

well I would hope that you didn't buy the system because of anticipation of weekly demos.

yeah, if you're just gonna end up wanting it later, definitely keep it. Order blu rays through amazon.
 
The animated Heavenly Sword video is really cool and I loved Samurai Jack :D

Just a quick question: Do you have to manually create an icon for a video? I'd like to see loads of video icons going on like I have in my Game section :)
 
BojTrek said:
I really need to update this .GIF, it is missing The Bigs, APF2K8, Tiger Woods 2008 and NBA2K8 and one of the hockey games... either EA NHL or NHL2K8

holy shit if you buy systems for games like that

Yeah press triangle when the movie is playing, then there is an option to make an icon.
