+ shogun00 on May 1st, 2016 at 2:45 pm said:
@Aaron1752
Probably once in a blue moon. There are some indie companies still supporting the PS3, but everyone else has moved on. I doubt that there will be much support from 3rd party publishers, especially after MS just recently discontinued production of the 360.
+ rudetoy on May 1st, 2016 at 10:34 pm said:
A word of warning about THE PARK….the PC version is very short, about 1.5 hours long. Personally, I wouldn’t pay more than $4.99 for a game that short but I’m sure it’ll be $19.99. You’ve been warned.
+ cammers1995 on May 2nd, 2016 at 4:10 am said:
+1 on the park.
Very. Very, VERY short. It’s not even two hours long. Not kidding. I’m not sure how they think they are getting more than $5 for something that is as long as a single telltale game episode but who knows.
+ Vyprstryke on May 2nd, 2016 at 6:50 am said:
I hear Superhot is an hour longer and they want $24.99?!
+ rudetoy on May 2nd, 2016 at 11:38 am said:
Exactly. I know Sony doesn’t set the prices for 3rd party developers but anything more than $4.99 for this game would be a serious rip.
+ cammers1995 on May 2nd, 2016 at 11:17 pm said:
Could be worse I guess. This is what happens when indie developers are let onto stores. I am not against indie games, but it feels like many of them have gotten lazy lately and this is a prime example. Another is how rovio thinks they are getting $30 for the angry birds games.
Park isn’t bad. It’s just very very short. Shorter than a single telltale games episode. This is why we need quality control on the store front. At least to the extent to where Sony requires a certain price cap.

+ TENHIGHJEDI on May 3rd, 2016 at 9:15 am said:
Judging by another comment you made, it looks as though you are into the Metroidvania type games. That is my favorite style, 2D Metroidvania style exploration. Shadow Complex is all about that and a great game! Might I recommend a few others if you haven’t already played them? Dust-An Elysian Tail, Ori and the Blind Forest and Axiom Verge are ALL great games. SOTN is still my favorite of this type though. Laterz man…

KoF2000 has a maybe, pricing of PS2 titles is kind of garbage at the moment. Waited till they went on sale before buying.
Can’t wait to see the rest of tuesday’s line up. Just happy to see PS Vita releases poping up.

+ Tjoeb123 on May 1st, 2016 at 5:09 pm said:
We’re not being rude; we’re just being realistic. They probably do have things that prevent them from releasing the pricing information. Like publishers telling them not to, or the fact that some games can get delayed at the last minute.

+ porhawj2014 on May 1st, 2016 at 12:50 pm said:
Hell Yeah, i think Battleborn’s sale gonna be flop like it sold 150,000 copies during launch week.. Uncharted 4’s sale gonna be 2 millions copies during launch week. Haters will shut up and cry about Uncharted 4 sale is best and has alot positive reviews on alot sites like IGN, game informer and Gamespot
+ magooser on May 2nd, 2016 at 8:55 am said:
People still play Uncharted games? Overrated if you ask me. Hope new IPs like Battleborn blow old tired franchises like Uncharted out of the water. We already know Nathan Drake is going to kick the bucket too, so why bother?

+ Tatanka2007 on May 1st, 2016 at 11:24 am said:
Ray Gigant has earned some really great reviews for being a hybrid visual novel. A google search indicated that it is PS TV compatible: YAH! The only downside is that apparently it is digital-only in the U.S. The only retail copies I could find were Japanese imports. Now I gotta free up some room so I can do my day-one download.

+ cammers1995 on May 2nd, 2016 at 11:07 pm said:
Idk. I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s not bad at all. It’s okay. But if they want anymore than $5 for it don’t buy it. I bought it on steam, and finished in less than an hour. Not even kidding. Me and many others got a refund for that reason. It’s wayyyyy too short but $20. It’s shorter than a single telltale games episode. Again, it’s NOT bad, but when a 20 dollar game lasts only 45 or so minutes there’s a problem.

Getting Battleborn. Also KoF 2000 finally on PS4 though it was announced in the initial list. Hopefully we get ’98 UM and 2002 UM. Though I am surprised 2000 is solo since on PS2 it came with ’01 at least in the US. ’02 came with ’03.
Oh, I was hoping Last Blade 2 pre-order would be up this week.

+ SilentNova on May 2nd, 2016 at 3:23 am said:
Game is the PS2 version which did not have online. It does support Share Play and so you could play online that way, but unless SNK does a new collection for PS4, we are not likely to older KoF games with online play on PS4. They could bring over ’98 UM and ’02 UM which had online play on Xbox Live and Steam.

I completely think it is possible that in the future if they release a game that has online play from PS2, they might actually attach them to new servers. We have just not seen any get released that once had online play already and I think partly because of that fact. We will have to wait and see on that aspect though.

Can’t wait to play Shadow Complex again! It was my favorite XBLA game when I had my 360. So stoked to see it finally show up on a Sony console. Highly, highly recommend it for fans of Metroid-vainia type games. The main character totally reminds me of Drake also (not just because he’s voiced by Nolan North). Other than that game I’ll be very impatiently waiting for Uncharted 4 to drop next week!
