A lot of good links this week. Though you didn’t include the ones that are still on the side-bar. That Left 4 Dead one and also the FF Agito XIII ones are fairly important ones. Thanks for the summary- I actually did miss a few this week.
See you tomorrow. :D

The story you missed was the one about Sony dragging its feet with PSN cards and the wall of silence customers are met with when they ask about them. It is the one people are talking about all over the Internet.

Sorry for the double post but I just thought that the coolest thing ever would be to have an episode of Qore that features WipEout HD media on it. I’d really like some interviews, footage, and other goodies! PLEASE :)

I’m personally looking forward to that patch for Uncharted that includes trophies. I can’t wait to go back and play that game. with any kind of luck it will drop sometime this month!
Oh and does anyone here know if Konami is going back to MGS4 and adding support for trophies?
peace,

Playstation Network really rules and needs more of the quality stuff which you’re offering now. I also hope to see some sort of RPG in the future. Also I hope to see a lot more Classic games than we’re receiving now in the West. Comparing to the Japanese store, our US / EU stores with Classic games are a joke. I love playing those games on the PSP and since I’m 100% against homebrew or any form of piracy, I only download the originals from the PSN.

Jeff, you know. I need to apologize also because I’ve been a little mad the last couple of weeks and posting about what I want.
But you have to realize. Although I can’t expect to be answered every time, since I’ve been in this Blog (And I am here since the beginning) neither the devs or you, have answered any of my questions. And it’s happening to anybody else.
You can’t answer everybody’s questions, I know that. But sometimes this doesn’t FEEL like there is any feedback involved, and this is just another way for Sony to promote.
If am wrong, please let me know which is the reason of this Blog because I am confused and it’s why a lot of us left some time ago.
Cheers.

You guys should read up on the Square Enix event “DKS3713″
Adress:
http://www.khinsider.com/latest/dk-3713-wrap-up-2.html
Positives about the event:
1. FFXIII demo coming to the Playstation3. (Nothing big but still nice… if you want to pay for it that is)
Negatives about the event:
1. FFXIII demo costing money as it is packed with a movie i’ve already seen.
2. Simultainius release of FFXIII on both consoles except in Japan, making the PS3 version DELAYED untill who knows when… (This is just retarded and I don’t know why they will keep thier loyal fans waiting as it was a ps3 exclusive from the start)
3. Nothing on team ICO’s new game.

+ Onna76_NL on August 4th, 2008 at 6:19 am said:
For the Europeans among us, not sure if the US version has it too: Uncharted trophies are available! Just start up the game and you’ll automatically will be asked to download the 1.01 update.

@34 blizzard182
Dont get mad man, this is a blog not a chat room or a forum.
The guys at SCEA are doing a hell of a job.
But you must understand the PR nature of the posts, so every developer CANT comment or respond without the PR approval.
Its a common thing, but even with that, the guys at SCEA are really really rising the bar .
I WUV you guys !

Also, Uncharted Trophies are here man.

+ Onna76_NL on August 4th, 2008 at 7:02 am said:
One advice when it comes to uncharted, remove your save data from out of the saved data map so all your found treasures and achievements will be at “0″. You won’t get trophies for things which have been recorded in your game.
41
+ Fersis on August 4th, 2008 at 7:08 am said:
@38 Onna76_NL
Im gonna delete the save game, and enjoy this sweet sweet game.Thanks for the tip.
I hope that later today the NA patch is released, right now is only for the PAL guys

uncharted trophy patch is out in europe and will it be out in the us?

+ Onna76_NL on August 4th, 2008 at 7:33 am said:
Your welcome Fersis, oh and another thing, the trophies are the same as the medals in the game, you earn first the trophy and right after that the game medal. 2 hits with one stone.

@Kuff, yeah about time we get something “first”. Quit the whining already, we have to wait for the Video Channel for at least 6 months, you probably don’t even have to wait for a week.
