  • I cannot be the first person totally psyched for Defense Grid 2! Overlook it at your peril – the original was amazing, better than Pixeljunk Monsters.

  • I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking that PSN needs more psone classics. I get that sony is putting a lot of money in the new streaming service playstation NOW but please don’t forget to keep adding to the PSN library . there are literary tons of psone games that still need to be put on PSN.

  • Pumped for Defense Grid 2. I didn’t even realize it was coming out so soon (hadn’t heard much about it since its initial reveal a ways back). Loved the original as it was one of the best TD titles ever created!

  • Don’t forget about the Bad Blood dlc on Watch Dogs for us season pass holders ^-^

  • So, do the requests for updated PSP/PS1 compatibility for Vita still fall upon deaf ears?

  • If at all possible, I’d like to see a castlevania Vita Exclusive or something. That would be nice

  • Agreed with #22, I’d love to see a Tony Hawk game playable on my Vita — whether THPS, THPS2, or THPS3 from the PSOne library or THUG2 from the PSP library. I don’t know if there’s a licensing issue in play here, but if there’s any way that Sony and Activision could get together and make this happen I’m sure there would be plenty of people like me forking their money over.

  • Any explanation for why Final Fantasy Type 0 and XV weren’t posted on the blog? Biggest games of Tokyo Game show were completely ignored here…

  • Ivory crown here I come!

  • @57 Maybe because that’s from the TOKYO GAME SHOW and this is the US Playstation Blog? Just a thought.

  • If you have already bought Arcana Heart 3, can/will there be any discounts for LOVE MAX?

  • left and right people ask for classics and psp games to come to psn, its quite sad sony doesnt do this…
    how hard is it to FULLY friggin support classics and old psp games? just put them all up on the store… how hard is that? or at least do a half dozen/dozen a week… no instead we get a single ps1 or ps2 classic and thats it

  • Duuuude. Loving the list, however won’t be picking up Slender until it hits ps4. Hope that’s soon! Thanks! :D

  • For those interested in Defense Grid 2, Polygon has a very interesting series of articles detailing its development. There are some highly unusual aspects to the story, particularly in terms of its funding, if I recall correctly.

  • Any chance of getting a download list filter to separate ps4/ps3/vita etc? Please?

  • Forgot Arcana Heart 3 was out this week, I guess I`ll get it later down the line.
    In the meantime though I`ll be getting my copy of Ar Nosurge sometime this week assuming nothing goes wrong with shipping.

  • 4 things :
    1 – Ar tonelico*
    2 – Ciel nosurge*
    3 – Ar nosurge*
    4 – “Introducing a new RPG that links to the story developed in Ciel Nosurge and Ar Tonelico!”
    Implying that people have played and/or knows about the settings of Ciel nosurge. It never got localized >: Hopefully implying that it will?

  • Cannot WAIT to have the wife play Slender! Hoping it goes cross-buy eventually so we can play it on the PS4.

  • Digital and retail means… its going to be downloadable on the playstation store right and available in-store as well?

  • I really want to know what happened to Jamestown +. It was supposed to release in summer, 2014, but I can’t find any update about it anywhere. Anyone know anything??

  • What about the vanishing of ethan carter? Isn’t it supposed to cone out tomorrow?

  • Another great fighting game Arcana Heart 3: LOVE MAX!!!!! for Vita. Day one purchase. Sad no Ultra Street Fighter IV for Vita.

  • what time this drop will be available tomorrow on psnstore?

  • Megaman Legends, 1 nor 2 will never come to PSN. The game can’t be changed because of sony’s policy of not allowing any changes to be made to the original PS One games. Unless they are re-mastered, or re-made, forget it.

    Tekken 3 has an issue with Gon being in the game. Him being a character in Japanese manga and not owned by namco.

    Megaman X6 also has (probably minor) copyright issues with the vocal music used in that game. However, it is likely that we will see X6 eventually. Don’t hold your breath for the other three games, though. Tekken 3, maybe. Legends 1 & 2? Never.

  • And where is this game?? It’s 23th but in Playstation Shop on my PS4 I can’t find it.

  • Anyone else looking forward to Project C.A.R.S? I’ve been following it for nearly 4 years, so I’m definitely ready for it. C.A.R.S, Project Morpheus and a steering wheel, and it’s game on!
    I was a huge Gran Turismo fan from day 1, but they’ve had the chance to fix the collision dynamics since at least GT3 and on, but still haven’t fixed it, and it’s just become the same game, over and over again. It’s like the racing sim version of CoD, it’s crap.

    In my early 20’s (10 years ago), I was a racer, sponsored by Mitsubishi, Mazda, Street Glow, Blaupunkt, and many more. A few years ago though, I was diagnosed with a painful joint disease, so I had to quit racing. Long story short, I’ve been waiting for a great racing sim for a long time. Relive the glory days n all that.

    Go buy Project C.A.R.S. December 1st, 2014

  • Shame on you sony! The money i have, the money im dying to spend on a great game, the trust im losing in you. I buy everything sony, everything when it first hits, well close to…ps3? Bought 2. Have over a hundred games easy. Move? Ill try it, bought four moves and 7 games. Ps plus? Sure why not? Had ps plus for ps3 since day two. I rent all my movies from you. Buy tons of movies early. You always treated me right. I loved sony. There was a time. Ps4? Bought two, grabbed the camera, rebought mgs: gz. Updated my tomb raider and injustice. Grabbed assassin creed 4, amazing spidey, second son, dynasty 8, and some others. Then, the market died. Poof! Bought dark souls 2 on ps3. No reason to turn my ps4s on. When im tired of dark souls 2, what then? I only spend about $20 a month now…after the new and final dlc for ds 2, i wont spend another dime. Start working hard sony, so i can play harder.

  • Cant wait to try out Slender but im sorry i have to be that person and complain a bit. There is so many PS2 games to choose from and you guys were doing SO good with like every Shin Megami Tensei and then Meet the Robinsons and Wall-e?? Do these no thought disney(or movie licence games in general) really have a large following and buy rate on PSN? WHy not things like Destroy All Humans or Grandia 2 and 3. I swear if Bratz the game gets a ps2 classic before some actual good games i may go a tad bit looney toons

  • I heard on the cbs evening news that the ps3 console was going down in price in the middle of oct. 2014 . Does anyone know anymore about that?
