Woo. Day 1.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

One of my fav games for last year, glad others are getting to play it.

Now for a Steam release, eh?

 

[daevv]

Very enjoyable game. I may have to replay it.

 

[chubigans]

It's kinda nice in it's own right to get year old ports of indie acclaimed games on PSN, if only because you get much more honest and thoughtful impressions from those who played it already.

 

[def sim]

Good stuff.

I already played it but I'm glad it'll see more sales with the PSN only crowd.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

timed exclusives are such a fucking bullshit practice. i hate it more than anything this gen. i feel like i'm being misled and lied to constantly.

I agree that it's terrible but it's better than full exclusivity of third party games (especially downloadables).

 

[Rlan]

A lot of games published by Microsoft are just that -- published. Most have an exclusivity clause in the contract to keep it off other systems. Braid was, I believe, 3-6 months exclusive. From the looks of it LIMBO was a 12 month exclusive.

 

[Anteater]

I'll pick it up during a steam sales if it's coming out on steam. Seems interesting.

 

[Tranced Shadow]

Enjoy the first half and then turn it off. You'll have played one of the best games ever.

I can't help but agree. The first couple of hours consisted of some of the scariest scenes I've ever played, and it was fantastic.

Then afterwards it just seemed to turn into a standard puzzle-platformer, never bothered finishing it :/

I don't understand.

I believe Braid was a 1 year exclusive if we're going by PS3 and 360.

Castle Crashers took 2 years.

 

[DangerousDave]

Played the Xbox 360 version for about 5 minutes, than saw a child getting beheaded and turned it off. Will never touch this sick game again.

Don't worry. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that no child was beheaded during the development of the game.

 

[anddo0]

About time. Much like Braid. I had a feeling it was coming, it was only the matter of when.

 

[Duffyside]

Wow. I was just checking if this was possible the other day. I saw that it was published by Microsoft and said "shit, that means no way." That's why people have said Trenched won't come to PSN too, right? Because it's MS-published?

I was checking PB Winterbottom and Super Meat Boy too. I hope if an MS-published game can make it, than that means these ones will.

Spoiler

You can keep 'Splosion Man though...

 

[Shadow of the BEAST]

I would buy it if it came on disc.

it all depends on the nuts-and-bolts of the publishing deal

 

[GeoramA]

Nice. Not paying $15 for it, though.

Because it's an MS IP.

Trenched will *never* come to PSN. MS owns the IP there. Those others? Who knows...

 

[Edeuinu]

Almost got this a few times, but now that it's coming on PSN i'll just wait since I get all multi-plat games on PS3. Wish it didn't take so long though.

 

[Nemo]

wow, great news!

but wtf, i was CERTAIN that it could never come to PS3. i thought it was published by Microsoft..? like damn, this is something like the fifth game i thought for sure i could only get on Xbox but after waiting it turned out to not be the case. (as with Bioshock, Braid, Mass Effect 2, GTAIV episodes...)

timed exclusives are such a fucking bullshit practice. i hate it more than anything this gen. i feel like i'm being misled and lied to constantly.

Yep

I think Microsoft owns the Trenched IP. Not sure though. I'm not sure if Winterbottom will move over, it's been out for quite some time on steam and didn't have as much buzz as something like Limbo or Braid. Don't know if it'd be worth porting it over. I could see SMB getting a PS3 release but I'd guess that Team Meat wouldn't be the ones porting it.

 

[Gustav]

I'm sure there wasn't. Still find it in unnecessary and more importantly in poor taste.

Would love to see some of the people reacting to my post argue in favor of displaying child mutilation, though. Or any form of explicit mutilation for that matter. Always wondered what's so great about it.

 

[Always-honest]

Great! will buy.

 

[Salsa]

first Steam now this, nice

 

[Shurs]

I don't understand.

I assume he's talking about getting appraisals outside of the normal hype-cycle that surrounds a game's release.

I agree with him.

I agree, that's what made me purchase Braid and CC in the first place (very good receptions and all that hype).

But if it was Gyromancer...

so basically we shouldn't trust Microsoft when they say a game on their platform is exclusive.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Well it was exclusive when they said so wasn't it?

 

[BritBloke916]

Ah... Next could be Ikagura, Rez HD and Shadow Complex. Make it so Sony!

Bonus feature on PS3 version of Child Of Eden. Believe

You can disable the death animations in the menu. The game doesn't magically become better, unfortunately.

It was a little scary, but you're missing out on a wonderful game.

 

[Oneself]

Great, I'll buy it.

the game is scary it's a nightmare

bad things happen in nightmares

 

[Souther]

Now if only Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet would come over too.

 

[Carl]

Cool. Thought it looked pretty interesting from screens and videos. Will see how much it costs.

 

[Rad-]

Hopefully PSN-only people will buy it, unlike Braid which had pretty disappointing PSN sales. Limbo is one of the best DL games this gen, no reason to pass on it.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

I believe I will double dip on this.

What'd be really cool would be if Playdead added some small extras like a small "making of" documentary.

Most atmospheric game I played last year. It reminded me of an old Sesame Street or Caliope short from the 80's dipped into a black and white vat of Hell sauce.



First post btw.

I don't think it had disappointing sales for a year old game. It sold more than 100k (90k++ last March or last year, don't recall).

how about the price.

Welcome

 

[Khrno]

Eh
If it has added stuff I might be interested, otherwise no thanks

It does.

 

[DasRaven]

I'll probably buy it just to support the devs and actually platinum the game. I never bothered on 360.

For a moment, this actually threw my purchase of Ms. Splosion Man into doubt. Just a moment though.

 

[shamanick]

Day 1! Looks great.

I doubt the game will come with a Platinum trophy.

 

[Andrew.]

"black and white vat of hell sauce" i like that description

 

[ShogunX]

Now if only Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet would come over too.

You never know what will happen in the future it's just those type of games end up with a longer exclusivity period than games published by the bigger companies. Games like Guardian of Light and Castlevania showed up quicker than normal and I wouldn't be surprised if From Dust is only a short exclusive window as well.

MS really have stepped it up with downloadable games these last few years and have managed to secure some truly excellent titles. Sony should try and do their own similar promotion and give a few releases some good advertising.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'm all over this.

 

[ULTROS!]

You know I've been wondering... Why do a lot of former XBLA exclusive games get ported to the PSN whereas there aren't any (or as much) PSN exclusive games get ported to the XBLA.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Sony funding.
