Just dropping in to say thank you. These threads are awesome. And as a frequent shopper on the Playstation Store, I look forward to them every week.
 
Random Question: Untold Legends 1 or 2?

They are both the same price on PSN and while I'm sure since 2 comes later it probably improved upon 1, its over 3 times the freaking size.

Any opinions?
 

Dizzan

MINI Member
I know I this is a comment that's been made 100 times, but these games (Flock, Rag Doll Kung Fu) need demos.

Great work with the thread again Kassatsu. Maybe under the "whats known for this week" section you could also throww in "Whats rumoured for the week"? Just a suggestion but it would definately increase discussion in the threads. Nothing like a bit of speculation. :D

You all need to buy Comet Crash.

Flower aside, it's the best PSN title so far this year.

The gameplay is perfect.
 

Dante

The flock demo was GARBAGE. Will buy RDKF.

And not to be a jerk, but if Comet Crash is so good...Put a demo up FCS. Sony needs to mandate this, as I think I'd be inclined to do more impulse purchases.
 
What version of Worms is that? Worms Armageddon? World Part? Also, is there any way that Flock and Rag Doll are going to get Demos?

Pssst, and trophies? :X

Worms is XBLA worms + Holy hand grenade.

All above games you listed have trophies IIRC.

From reviews, it seemed that Magic Ball had online play issues. They called it broken in some cases.

Has that been resolved?
 
Shurs said:
I'm pretty sure that all PS3 and PSN games released in 2009 (and beyond) are required to support trophies.

Hummm, i'm very reluctant to believe that, but can only hope to be true.

ChackanKun said:

Only know Pc versions lol

Think i found it, and think it's worms 2 :| Meh, could at least be World Party.

I've honestly never played it online. I played some local co-op and didn't like it. I love the single player mode. I'll try online some time tonight and let you know how it is.

I have played Magic Ball online a handful of times. 90% of the time the online play was perfect, there were a couple instances of REALLY bad lag that made it almost unplayable, but like I said the majority of the time it was fine.

Red Baron was licensed in 2008. Didn't it also release in another region last year? I can remember playing a demo early last fall.
 
levious said:

It seems to go by when the game was certified. People were speculating that Red Baron was certified last year but was delayed for whatever reason. If you look at something like Cross Edge it was recently delayed as NISA has to add trophies to it even though the Japanese version didn't have them.
 

chubigans

y'all should be ashamed
Indeed. 50 cent and Afro Samurai were also certified last year and released last month without trophies. By the summer I think we'll be completely safe from non-trophy releases.

Flock is on Steam too in case anyone prefers playing it on PC. I didn't know until I saw an ad on Steam. I was going to get it on PS3, but I prefer PC so if the reviews are good (controls, etc...) then I'll get it on PC.

Both have trophies.

And there has been a Flock demo for a few months now, with Qore #7, which is free.

I'd buy a lot more games if they had a demo.

I'm very reluctant to buy without one. That's one of those things that bug me about PSN.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.

According to the Swedish Playstation newsletter there will be a big sale on PSN during April in celebration of that PSN turns two years old.

I april 2009 fyller PlayStation®Network

två år och vi firar det med en rea.

Sedan 2007 har miljontals av er registrerat och roat er med fullständiga spel – varav många har varit exklusiva spel – samt med de demoversioner och trailrar som finns att hämta. Vi tackar er för det genom att under en begränsad tid erbjuda förstklassiga spel till helt oroliga priser. Om du inte har registrerat dig ännu så är det här ett perfekt tillfälle att göra det!

Gå in på PlayStation Store via huvudmenyn (XMB) på din PS3 och plocka hem ett riktigt fynd.

Gotta try that. Any feedback? Looks....cute.

[UPDATE: A Sony Computer Entertainment America spokesperson has given Gamasutra the following statement: "Trophies will be mandatory for titles submitted after January 1, 2009. Of course, many teams have already started to incorporate Trophies and have added support for older titles."]

Prolly games that started development after 2009 will have trophies for sure. Or something.
