Motorstorm 2 nom nom nom
The SOCOM Launch Trailer was the best. So how about that date, Grace? :P
Sno-Cross Championship Racing…LAME
When are you guys going to release some PS1 Classics that people care about?
North America and Europe PSN = FAIL
Yawn……….still better then nothing though. At least the network is working again.
Where’s the Valkyria Chronicles demo?
Europe got the Valkyria Chronicles demo for free last week. How long will we have to wait? The Motorstorm demo was held back for over a month on Qore! THIS SUCKS – trying to make us pay for Qore just to get demos! Demos should be free.
Where is Age Of Booty, I was really waiting to purchase that game this week. Xbox gets it first and ps3 doesn’t get it at all!
I thought there would be more games released this week? Where is Age of Booty? Does this mean everything that goes through PSN gets delayed?
I have a feeling things may be delayed to help promote their flagship title: SOCOM, which isn’t exactly working out that well right now.
I have 111 MB on my PSP and the lego batman demo takes 59 MB but it still says it won’t download cause there is not enough space on my memory stick. help!
and about that, i would like to see how much space is on my mem. stick while shopping
Oh. My. God. Sno-Cross Championship Racing!! Thank you!! This is so much better than any of those other crappy PS1 Classics Japan gets like Metal Gear or Xenogears.
/sarc
Hahaha, hahaha.
Yeah, those Japanese are so unlucky with Metal Gear and Xenogears!
Awesome update, but please start giving us PS1 classics that we are actually asking for :P
I’ve got my resistance 2 beta to download(usual slow PSN).
Grace Chen:
What happened to the Red Baron Arcade game and Age of Booty?
Not a great update this week, but the past ones have been good. I just wonder what happens to all of these announced titles?
I do think we need to discuss the choices for “PS1 Classics”.
Seriously, there are a ton of great games that could be put on PSN, and the Japanese PSN has a good number of them, but we really just aren’t seeing that over here, and that’s pretty ridiculous.
^
They just seem to get delayed.
Sony can we please get Crash Team Racing as a PS1 classic.
Can you guys also fix the problems I noticed while writing messages to friends with the latest update(2.5). It flashes oddly while you’re typing, it doesn’t remember words that you put after each other like before to recreate sentences easily, and a few times, it randomly plugged in words from the dictionary that I didn’t want to use(I would put in one letter and then an entire word would just randomly pop in).
Another problem I noticed with the new update is that the accuracy of the “time when last logged in” is incorrect after a user just logs off. Instead of saying 1 minute or something very short, it says 64 minutes since last log in right after they get off.
whoever is picking these ps1 titles should be fired on the spot.
I was looking forward to Age of Booty and Soldner-X this week :(
At least I have Dead Space to hold me over.
Here’s your answer on Age of Booty:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/d.a.r.y.l./blog/2008/10/16/age_of_booty_psn__bad_news_and_good_news
They’ve pushed it to November, and tried to appease us with Trophies.
No Soldner-X either. Great update Sony.
Almost 2 years and still we don’t have: Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 1-3, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Tomba 1-2, etc…
The person who sorts out license agreements should be fired for sucking at their job.
still no home… :(
I’m disappointed.No new demos I have not played already.I can see videos on youtube,so not interseted in those.Hoping for better next week.You really had my hopes up Sony after the shutdown of the PS Store.
what about the resistance 2 beta for qore subscribers???
god, i hope socom isn’t as messed up as it was in the beta, that was the most annoying thing that i have ever had to endure.
oh ya! wasn’t the resistance 2 beta supposed to have started by now, it did say “early october”
Motorstorm demo would be nice, but i’m scared to update!
the new firmware update v2.5 seems to be creating alot of problems for people on the official playstation forums-
Any official word as to whether a firmware fix is coming to fix it? (like fw v2.51)
I would rather wait and be safe for the fix to be out there, but i can’t log into PSN until i update..soooooo if there was a new update to fix the problems with 2.5 (like they did with 2.4) i would really appreciate a heads up so i’ll know to wait or not..
(alot of great games coming up for release soon, don’t wanna have my PS3 sent in for another month! :( )
oh yeah, and a PSONE classic!
cool!
thanks!
but i’ll bet some people will say “that’s not the one i wanted”
i appreciate it, anyway!
Where is Age of Booty?
Huge Sony fanboy here. Huge. But I have some major issues.
1) Your selection of PSone games. I was ready for some awesome reveals and downloads with the launch of the PSP store. You’re giving us games that have an overall GameRankings score of 57%. That’s below an F grade. You have a MUCH BETTER SELECTION than the trash you’ve been giving us. Who are you trying to kid? Maybe you’ll sell some PSone games when you’re releasing games that receive higher than a 3.1 from IGN. Just a thought.
2) The latest NPD data is out and again, the PS3 is in last place. Where is the crazy LittleBigPlanet advertising blitz? There have been quite a few very exciting things going on for the Playstation brand, but there’s ZERO BUZZ. The average consumer who doesn’t come to this blog is clueless! And that’s 100% your fault!
3) Private chat in-game. So, in-game XMB is somewhat new, I’ll give you a pass. If it’s not in the next firmware update, I may lose complete faith in the planning team of what to upgrade in future firmware updates.
4) The rest is just [DELETED] (where’s my Resistance 2 beta code I’m a Qore annual subscriber and have the LE paid off in full, the EoJ expansion is overpriced when they’ve already asked us to pay for set 2 and cards, blah blah blah), so I’ll spare you the details.
But it’s tough love I’m delivering right now, this is true. It’s because I have faith in the Playstation brand and love the products that I care so much. I support the hell out of the Playstation brand, and I want the best for you, but you guys are making it tough.
Sorry for the crazy long poster, fellow blog comment’ers.
Sweet a theme for Valkyria Chronicles! Oh wait…I’ve never even played this game because for some reason the demo isn’t out…
I agree with pretty much everyone else out there about the ps1 game selection. It seems to me like Sony is sitting on a gold mine that they just aren’t exploiting. How hard can it be to get a team of people to start porting these games? You’d think by now every single greatest hit and top seller would be out. Why not start making money off of old games?
Wonderful Update!!
@ 78
i bet that game will be on the next PSN update.
Also, is the bowling game patch up? What is going on, can we get things sorted out and some GOOD news updates coming as far as status on things? The SOCOM issues despite it’s release, the network issues, no updates as far as lost games, losing MAJOR ground to the 360 already.. What is going on, Sony? Where is your passion and love for your followers? No Resistance 2 beta info for Qore owners besides we’ll get them “soon”. Blah. I’ll say it, Qore is a ripoff. Besides getting the Motorstorm demo early and the VK demo (which you can get for FREE on the UK store right now), it’s just a jip.
Please, Sony.. Get your stuff together.
@76(FritoZ) – Those could just be xbots trying to mess with people. Sony does so much testing with these firmware updates it’s not even funny. I have 2.5, working fine. 2.4 was perfect for me as well.
Yes a PS1 game! please more
if i buy socom… can it be played in different accounts?
@6
Nobody did.
Hey what’s up with this? Mortal Kombat II just disappeared completely from both the PSN Store and my Download List (I purchased it a few months ago). I read this on the forum and decided to check it out myself. What gives here? Why was it removed from my download list? How will I recover it if my system decides to bite the dust? I would like a response here please.
Motor Storm 2 doesn’t upscale to 1080i :(
I guess I’m not buying this game then…
So when can we use our LittleBigPlanet pre-order codes and have it work?
When can we expect to see game avatars for our PSN ID’s?
more* avatars is what I meant. The selection is subpar already.
I would like to vote for a feature that enables a random theme from your hard drive each time you start the system. I may be in the minority but that is something I would be interested in.
grate update, lmao at lego batman…very fun…also i posted earlier if ps1 classics were now direct to psp, would like to see resident evil series and metal gear solid on ps1 classics.. other wise thank you for the update lovin the store…
oh yeah, Dead Head Fred is a great game guys, you should all try it
@90 preach brother preach :)
pretty mundane update actually….I guess its because I never did like socom…
oh well…money well saved I guess!
I AM FEELING LIKE THIS IS STARTING TO BE A TOTAL RIP OFF FOR US WHO WERE EARLY SUBSCRIBERS, YES SUBSCRIBERS. WE WERE LURED IN WITH PROMISES OF EXCLUSIVE DEMOS AND BETAS AND FIRST DIBS/HANDS ON CONTENT INFO. INSTEAD, WE GET SHAFTED. THE DEMOS WE GET, ARE MAYBE A WEEK EARLY VS THE PSN RELEASE, AND THE BETAS?!! UM RESISTANCE 2! WHAT HAPPENED! WHY ARE THE QORE SUBSCRIBERS NOT ALLOWED ACCESS WHICH THEY WERE PROMISED IN OCTOBER.
THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS EXPLAIN WHY WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR STUFF WE PAID FOR. COMMUNICATION IS NICE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE OUR MONEY. :)
CORRECTION WE WERE PROMISED IT IN “LATE SEPTEMBER”… WE GOT NO BETA AND NO UPDATE, SHAFTED!
Thanks for the Motorstorm demo. I already have the game paid off so I guess we will see if it stays that way tonight.
Also, where is my Resistance beta code. Gamestop res. redeemed the registration code yet no e-mail.
And off topic but I love the official headset that came with Socom. With out a doubt the best console chat device that I have ever used across all platforms.
