    —> robot zombie

  • Would love to see some good ps1 classics Hit the store:

    Einhander
    Suikoden 2
    Vandal hearts 1 and 2
    Megaman legends 1 and 2 (if the dialogue audio creates a legal issue, remove it. We just want to play these games)
    Jade cocoon
    Die hard trilogy
    Diablo

    And on the Psp:
    Final fantasy crisis core

    And would love to see parasite eve, grandia, breath off Fire, alundra, and zhp unlosing ranger go in sale too.

  • PES 2015 should be on Vita too. c’mon Konami.

  • dose anyone no how much slender is gonna cost?

  • @20, you can play MGS. I have it on my vita. You can download it on your PS3 and transfer it.

  • Very weak week. At least next week we get Natural Doctrine and Shadow of Mordor.

  • Disney Infinity 2.0 PS4 please…

  • @22

    Natural Doctrine comes out on the 30th. Shadow Warrior comes out on October 24th.

  • Can we see some more ps2 games that’s better than the ones that we are geting now. I really want to see games like:
    Burnout Revenge
    Nfl street 2
    Nascar thunder 2004 or Nascar total team control 2006
    Its so many ps2 games i use to enjoy but the ones i just name was my favorites. I would buy these games in a heart beat if i see them in the store.

  • How many times are we suppose to buy ps3 games ported to ps4,indie games from ps3 and just crap with ps4 plus. who needs plus on ps4, big 1080p indie machine. Six months ago xbox games with gold was crap compared to Plus. Now Games with gold is golden over plus. No firmware updates and nothing that the ps4 can do over ps3 except look pretty and some 1080p games. Back to Mario cart 8, smash bros and bayonetta1 and 2

  • So I’m guessing there’s going to be a few Disney PS2 classics then? Well sounds great. Can’t wait to get Arcana Heart 3: Love Max and Slender: The Arrival.

    Also I think you guys can ask Atlus to port Thousand Arms onto the PS Store?

  • Once again my wallet is safe. Seriously though, we could really use some new CLASSIC rpg’s or something. I’m getting bored with most of what’s available because you guys hardly ever put any new ones on the store except the usual Atlus/Square Enix sales.

  • #Suikoden2onPSStore

  • You failed with no PS3 pre-order for FIFA 15. Very very unfortunate and shameful.

  • They aren’t missing Natural Doctrine from this list. The game got pushed back by a week. Now it’s supposed to come out on Sept. 30 instead of Sept. 23 as initially announced.

    Really looking forward to it!

  • I agree about Crisis Core: FF7, I’m playing Theatrythm FF Curtain Call and I miss playing that game.

  • So, how long are PS3 owners going to look at japanese imports only as new content?

    In last 45 days only Slender is coming to ps3 psn. Pathetic.

    Cant remember the last time ps3 had two or more psn games out in one week.
    Digital retails I dont count as real psn games, those are just an option next to physical disk version.

  • While it may not count as a new game, I’m looking forward to the major update to Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment on the 23rd.

    The “v1.05” update offered for the Japanese version back in July added around 30 hours’ worth of extra content, and tweaked a few details from the core game (such as making the Hollow Area map easier to navigate).

    Hopefully we will also see Kirito and Sinon’s GGO DLC outfits show up, as well as the Mahouka crossover items announced by Bandai Namco at TGS 2014. (The crossover goes the other way also, since a set of SAO costumes will be made available in Japan for the upcoming Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Out of Order – another PS Vita game I hope may be considered for a release over here.)

    That same event also saw Bamco confirm that a “Sword Art Online III” game is in the works. There should be more information revealed for it at a Dengeki Bunko event on the 5th of October.

  • ERMAGERD! IT’S LERVMERX! I cannot wait to rip it up on the new Arcana Hearts! Let’sbattle! >=D

  • I read on the internet that if you play slender you turn into a sociopath teenaged girl. it totally must be true since it was on the internet. I am so playing that.

  • @42 Lol, I figured it was only a matter of time before someone brought that up. I saw that on the news too.

  • @42
    I think Sony turned into socioapth teenaged girl, because they have nothing for ps3 except Slender in last 45 days.
    Kiling ps3 softly is worse then killing it over night.
    Want to buy new psn games for me and kids, but for the love of God I cant. Nothing there for ages.

    I guess retail games are all we can hope for, unless they delay that too as Mordor for ps3.

    LMAO, no wonder sony got $2 billion in loses this year.

  • I am excited about Ar as I have 1-3 of Tonelico. Also really excited about Arcana Heart 3 Love Max!!!! Any chance we could get the PS2 Ys games on the store though?

  • @4 + @16

    The price of Slender: The Arrival is $9.99 USD. It was mentioned in the announcement post of the game. https://blog.playstation.com/2014/09/05/slender-the-arrival-coming-to-ps3-on-september-23rd/

  • I really wish Square Enix, Bandai Namco, Activision and EA would release their PS1 and PS2 catalogs onto the PSN. They are sitting on a gold mine of several great PS1 and PS2 titles, but yet they don’t even bother. Square Enix has only released out their old Final Fantasy titles and that’s about it. Namco released out Tekken 1, 2, and Ridge Racer Type 4 and that’s it. Where’s Tekken 3, Tekken 4, Rage Racer, Ridge Racer (and Revolution), Dragon Quest (all of it), Bloody Roar 3, Bloody Roar 4, Vigilante 8, Nightmare Creatures and the list go on and on.

  • I remember when people used to use this section to be excited for what was coming out, helpfully notify the Blog guys if they forgot a title, and generally just be excited.

    Now it’s all about wishlists and endless complaining. So sad how things have changed. Popularity seems to have also brought the scurge of the internet. I almost wish for the old days, when Playstation was considered the underdog, even if it was selling better over its lifetime than Xbox was.

  • So, when are PSONE and PS2 Classics and maybe even PSP Classics going to arrive on PS4? I sure would like to replay some on PS4, like the PSONE Megaman X games.

  • Will most likely buy Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star in a few months when it price drops/goes on sale. Possibly Slender too. Hoping for some good $15 or under rpg sales this week.
