This Week in PlayStation Home: Assassin’s Creed, Final Fantasy XIII, Fullmetal Alchemist and A&E’s Lawman

70 0

Greetings Homelings!

We have a ton of cool stuff coming at you for this week’s publish in PlayStation Home. This week is particularly heavy on free video content – from exclusive video pulled from some of the most highly anticipated game titles, to brand-spanking new TV shows being aired in-world before they find their way to cable, to full-length episodes of some of your favorite programs. What they say is true – there is no place like PlayStation Home!

Fullmetal Alchemist icon

Anime fans will be stoked to find the first full episode of Fullmetal Alchemist’s second season playing in the 10-Screen Theater (courtesy of FUNimation). This free episode will only air from November 12th to the 19th. If you like what you see, be sure to head to the PlayStation Store, where you can follow Edward and Alphonse Elric’s quest for the Philosopher’s Stone by downloading additional episodes from season one and season two from this award-winning series.

Speaking of hits – few video games can match the level of anticipation that a FINAL FANTASY title brings to the table, and the newest addition to Square Enix’s celebrated franchise, FINAL FANTASY XIII, promises to be no exception. Assuming you haven’t been living under a rock for the past year, you’ve probably caught a glimpse of the sheer awesomeness of FINAL FANTASY XIII via one of the many trailers. The intriguing characters, the enigmatic Eidolons, the beautifully rendered environments, and the awe-inspiring cut scenes have spurred many impassioned conversations. And while it seems that everybody is waiting with bated breath for the next installment in the FINAL FANTASY saga, it is well understood that it takes time to achieve the level of “wow” hinted at in these trailers. To whet your appetite, Square Enix has given us a special, never-before-seen FINAL FANTASY XIII video to air in the PlayStation Home 10-Screen Theater this Friday, November 13th – so be sure to stop by and check it out.

A&E’s new Real Life Series “Steven Seagal Lawman” is sure to be the “can’t miss” premiere of late 2009. In fact, after viewing the trailers, we begged A&E to give us an exclusive sneak peek to show to you, the PlayStation Home community. Needless to say, they came through in a bigger way than we expected, offering up an advance screening in PlayStation Home. And on top of that, they’re even giving away a free virtual item – a Lawman Vest – to everyone that comes into the 10-Screen Theater. So come out and watch as Steven Seagal takes to the mean streets of New Orleans with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, enforcing the law and serving the best interests of the community with the help of a hand-selected band of elite deputies, and then be sure to watch all the new episodes on A&E, starting with the series premiere on Wednesday December 2nd at 10:00pm PT (9:00pm Central).

To celebrate the release of these stellar third-person action-adventure titles, Ubisoft has decided to release a line of special Assassin’s Creed virtual items in PlayStation Home. From hats and shirts to hoodies and wristbands, never has it been easier to display your enthusiasm for Ezio and all his stealthy ways.

  • Hmm, even a PS Eye chat for Assassin’s Creed II says my Google Reader… Sike.

  • darn, I thought I was from the future.
    stupid space time continuum

  • Finally, a reason to go home

  • Will I ce able to dress my avatar like Ezio

  • Will I be able to dress my avatar like Ezio?

  • So I will most likely be logging into home on Friday for that Final Fantasy XIII video.

    AND Assassins Creed 2 comes out soon. That & GoW Collection will hold me over until Final Fantasy XIII next month (I’m importing the FFXIII edition PS3 that comes with FFXIII btw). :]

  • Anything FFXIII = a rating of 5. Not interested in the rest. 2010 will be the year of PS3 RPGs. About friggin’ time!

    Will we be getting any Star Ocean: The Last Hope International videos anytime soon?

  • Actually looking forward to something on PSN Home for once!

  • Hoping theres huge improvements coming to Assasins Creed2..1st game was to repetitive imo. I will check out the videos and i hope Home team is working on trophy room, public chat, more hairuts, more in home rewards in games, faster load times, xmb music, and other things weve been waiting for along time for..

  • AC2 stuff is free right?

  • Hey L_S, the things coming to Home sound really great! Any chance that those of us who STILL CAN’T LOG INTO HOME might get a patch tomorrow or something to help so people like me can go back into Home and enjoy all the things that are making Home fun?

  • ooh, nice! loved fullmetal alchemist and have followed it from episode one all the way to the ending and the movie “conqueror of shambala.” i know where i’ll be this black friday!

    virtual items from assassin’s creed?! awesome! will bloodlines be available for download for the psp? i’ve already put away all my umd games, i’m ready to just download everything!

  • Where are the avatars?

  • Great I’m waiting for AC2 but am not really thrilled I have to buy Clothes for it in home. (nickel and diming) There are no new features with any of these updates (no in game music). And also I went into home last night and had to redownload everthing. Another head ache. I know why don’t we add more spaces so I can download them 50+ times. Home is more of a head ache Than being a Gaming Comunity.

  • nice

  • just like to say I approve of you choosing FullMetal Alchemist. Good series.

  • Bunk with a capital B.

  • ohh wow how awsome is this!
    one problem most of us have the z error!

  • Where is the Final Fantasy exclusive footage? I just saw a 5 minute trailer get posted to Kotaku. Tell me this isn’t the same thing we’re getting.
