(cont.) Sony has a chance to be the biggest and best in the business but they refuse to and insist on making stupid decisions. You have to stop this purchase multiple times GREEDY, RIPPING OFF THE CONSUMER, ANTI CONSUMER STUPIDITY! It’s purchase once play on ALL your devices. It’s purchase a game, I get to play it on my PlayStation home console, which is the PS3, my PlayStation portable consoles, which are the PSP and PlayStation Vita and my PlayStation certified devices. And this includes physical version of games. If a game is compatible on multiple PlayStation platforms, I should get a free digital version of that game since I already PAYED and OWN the game, no one should have to REBUY the game.

Only a complete idiot would suppor those practices and they’re the reason why all this CRAP is in video games today and things are only getting worse.

I’m so sick of this GREEDY, RIPPING OFF THE CONSUMER, ANTI CONSUMER CRAP! So the first 30 levels of the PlayStation Mobile version are free but that’s not the case for the PlayStation Portable or PlayStation 3. Not only that but the PSP version received a full retail price of $30-$40 and the PS3 version was and is still overpriced. But it doesn’t stop there, then you want to release levels as paid DLC for the PSM version. But wait, it gets even worse, the DLC are SUPER overpriced. Can there be more? in video games today, there always is. Even though you own the PSP or PS3 version you still don’t get the game for PSM.

I’m sorry to report that this version of lemmings doesn’t hold a candle to the original. The music is bland and not level specific. The animation effects (fire, traps, etc) are better animated on the Amiga than this. There are glitches in the tools (specifically bash and mining). Lemming selection and task assignment is a big hassle since the game often mistakes a zoom in/out gesture over a task (This could have been resolved by mapping it to a button). No buttons are used other than Start for pausing. The pause screen obscures a portion of the screen which prevents critical timing tasks in the later levels. The end gates are not height specific like the original so building bridges over them is much more difficult. There is NO NUKE button. The level auto ends with remaining blockers denying the player a chance to see them explode. To fast forward, you press the bottom left corner even though there is NO ON SCREEN BUTTON to indicate that the player can do this.

This
is
a
mess

Give it back to Team 17 or get the remnants of Sony Liverpool (once Psygnosis) to fix this. You can’t remake a classic in a sloppy fashion and not expect blow back.

The SNES version of Lemmings is still king.

Woot!
I was just playing SunSoft’s port of Lemmings on the SNES yesterday. Still the best version to date (music fixes, pause with start button, multiplayer competition). Huge fan of Lemmings. Surprised Team 17 didn’t pick up the torch again. Looking forward to seeing how you guys handle the IP.

Woah! Awesome! Loved the original as a kid and lemmings for PSN was actually my first purchase on the system! Question, though, how long before move support is enabled on the Ps3 version? Mine hasn’t updated yet.

I was happy to see Lemmings come out for the Vita, I was even happier when I saw it was free, then I opened it up. I don’t mind paying the 99 cents for the special levels since I have never played any of those. However, there is no way they are getting me to pay $2.49 each for Tricky, Taxing, and Mayhem, especially since I have beaten all of those levels multiple times before, and I have Lemmings for PSP and PS3, not to mention the PC. If I really want to play those levels again, I’ll simply play them there. A note to PlayStation Mobile: please come out with more of those special levels. The best (and only) way to get me to pay more money for Lemmings is by giving me more levels which I have never played before; and the more challenging, the better! I’m sure other Lemmings veterans will agree with me!

I would love to see Trophy support on PS Mobile games!
