OK, OK. I know I’ve been M.I.A. lately. You also may have noticed that I haven’t been on my PS3 in a while playing SF4. Well, life’s been hectic but exciting, and any free time has been spent catching up on sleep (I promise to catch up on all my PS3 messages, sorry)!
The real reason I’m here, and it’s not to keep you updated on my life, is to let you know that next Thursday, FLOCK! finally arrives on PSN. Soon you’ll be able to manipulate cute, cuddly animals with the help of your trusty UFO. You don’t even have to be in a farm to flock sheep, Capcom is giving you the ability to do this in the privacy of your own home. You can even call a friend over and flock.
If you’ve never herd of FLOCK! before, here’s a video with the beautiful Veronica Belmont and one the folks at Capcom going over some of the cool features in the game (I’m loving the outfit Veronica!).
Did I mention trophy and in-game XMB music support? Another cool feature is the level editor where you can create your own plushy environments and share them online. There’s also a rating system where you can praise the brilliant work of others, or pan some of the more awkward levels that are made available (Giving fans creative freedom is not always a good thing).
So, if you’ve been keeping up with my blogs, I’ve been hinting for months about a cool surprise for PSN gamers this year. Well, stay tuned. I’m ready to talk about it at the end of the month.
Oh and finally, comment number 200 gets a free, redeemable token of FLOCK! and a copy of Street Fighter 4 (No spamming allowed. If you post two times in a row and hit number 200, the prize goes to the next person. Send me a PM to my PSN ID and give me your address to get your prize.).
Yours truly,

Looks like crap.
Pass. Too many other awesome PS3 titles to buy.

Cant wait

BlitzXor | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
What’s the deal, is nobody commenting because they are waiting for the numbers to get higher? Well, anyway, glad you added a level creator that makes me a lot more interested in this game. Will there be a new demo available, or is the old Qore demo still accurate of what you guys have put together?
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Yes a demo will be available. It’s slightly different from the Qore one. But the demo definitely doesn’t show all the cool things in the game.

poohed333 | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Glad to see you back, John! It’d definitely been far too long.
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I know! Thanks. How’s life poohead. LOL…nice name.

Realaride | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Would it be considered spam if I spelled out FLOCK! with one letter per post?
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:25 pm
at least write a sentence, geez. :)

iExile | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Well it’s about flocking time we got a release date. Been waiting for it since the demo.

dsigns209 | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Will there be any future dlc for the game or is it too early to say?
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:23 pm
No DLC is planned for the game. I was going to charge for each animal, but I decided to throw them all in for free!
12
ZildjianKX | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:21 pm
How much is it going to be, $9.99? Any chance of a demo?
13
Narthalis | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I’ll never get the 200th comment, but kudos for giving a copy away to whoever gets it. (And setting rules to stop idiots from cheating.)
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Doesn’t hurt to try.

Gump_ | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Realaride | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Why the flock won’t John Diamonon respond to my question?
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:24 pm
I don’t know. Flock him!
16
Gump_ | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
LOL thanks for the free animals!!!!
17
BlitzXor | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Wow, fast responses from the guys in charge. This blog is the greatest thing since… umm… hand-written correspondence? I’ll definitely check out the new demo, I have really high hopes for this game.
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:34 pm
It’s like passing notes in class.

Realaride | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Who’s your main character in Street Fighter IV?
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Ken, like 90% of the free world.

John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:31 pm
The price will be the same.

McSpatrick | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:26 pm

Best line ever!

BlitzXor | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:27 pm
@19 Huh what? Powerstone for PSN? Is this confirmed or are you just teasing? Man, that would be awesome….!
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:31 pm
No, but I wish it was true.

Jon_Mclane | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
omg it’s John, haven’t seen you on the psblog in a long time, I assumed the capcom pr ninjas had finally silenced you
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:32 pm
They almost did. Now, I just don’t tell them I’m posting.
31
Realaride | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I have a legit question here, does Capcom intend to release any PSX games on the PSN in the near future? I’ve been wanting Mega Man Legends!
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:34 pm
We have a lot of PSone Classics coming. I wish I could tell you which ones.
32
dsigns209 | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Excellent, I’ve been waiting for a solid release date on Flock for awhile now. Generous contest here too John, any chance you can throw in one of those awesome playsets I’ve been seeing around the blogosphere as well ;)
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:35 pm

dsigns209 | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Any updates on trophies for SFIIHD Remix or Bionic Commando Rearmed?
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I get asked this question every time. =)
Please check my previous blog replies. I’m too tired to answer this question. I get about 3.5 hours of sleep a day lately. LOL.
39
BlitzXor | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Is it okay to Flock in front of your pet? I mean, they might get the wrong idea and think something bad is happening…
like they too might be abducted by an alien spacecraft or something. Wait… what did you think I was talking about?
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:39 pm
flocking in front of pets would scare them, quite frankly. they might think they’re getting flocked next.
40
Realaride | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Here’s the deal everyone. I get off work in about 25 minutes so what I need you to do is start posting more otherwise I won’t get a shot at post #200.
41
Jon_Mclane | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
It sounds like John would like to Flock with Veronica Belmont ;D
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:40 pm
wow.
42
Chaos_Bladez | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I want to get into Street Fighter. A free copy would insure that. :P
43
PHILDZNUTS | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Demo was fun! Can’t wait to play the game!! Thanks for the update John

tearsofash | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
You’re right you were MIA. Haven’t seen you online in a while. Still haven’t had a chance to properly come to you in Home and introduce myself! Lol.
John Diamonon replied on April 2, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Sup ash! Yeah, it’s been crazy lately. I don’t have time for anything.
46
jazzyrider | April 2nd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I thought this game was already out. I remember seeing something awhile back in a Qore episode.
anyway, I don’t want Flock – I want more Veronica!
