The PlayStation Recap

69 32

Jeff and I are busy wrapping up more of our interviews from E3, so look forward to another deluge of previews in the next week or two. Good stuff like Spec Ops: The Line, Two Worlds II, and a few surprises. Are there any E3 games you’d like to know more about? Let us know in the comments.

Otherwise, it’s a beautiful Independence Day weekend and I’m about to head to the park (and maybe sneak in a little Red Dead later). Have a great, safe holiday weekend!

    • It would be cool if you guys could get us information on Batman Arkahm 2 and Tales of Vesperia for PS3 and info on .hack//LINK for PSP.

    • Hi Sid,
      Thanks for all of the info and the great replies. When will PS+ subscribers be able to view Qore? I am assuming all of the old episodes are off limits since it is stating a charge for each one or is Qore taken out of the deal for subscribers in Canada?

      Also, Wipeout HD is completely absent from the Playstation Store now. Is this because I already purchased it or is there an error? Other things I have purchased are still present in the store.

      All in all, I like PS+ and am happy to see the video store arrive, so thank you.

    • Any new info on “the last guardian” personally I think they should implement 3D into the game !
      I know I’m not the only one who wants to know more

    • Got a question about Playstation Plus, I hope you can answer it. If I have 2 Playstation 3’s, with one account on both of them (lets say this account “A” has Playstation Plus). Would I be able to download the updates to both PS3’s and use all the games and dlc as long as account “A” is presnt on both Playstation 3’s?

      Assuming the first answer is Yes, would it be possible to download the updates automatically to both ps3’s if the 2nd PS3 had a second account “B” as its main login for auto login?

    • Sid, pls answer… Any kind of news about cross game chat?! :(

      BTW can u actually contact atlus and ask them why no chat on demon souls? its painful to play with friends and having ur neck bend over the cellphone… its just horrible! T___T

      Can you interview appropriate people to know more about PSN plus, and where its heading and stuff like that? I subscribed, but i wana know though.

      Also as for game, GT 5 differences between standard and premium models are really confusing for many of us.

    • @that-acmilan-guy, the difference between standard and premium is that standard cars are upscaled GT4 (PS2) cars with no c0ckpit view and make up the vast majority of cars.
      Only 200 premium cars with gorgeous graphics and c0ckpit view that take advantage of the PS3 are in the game.

      Kaz says ‘Gomenasai’. He was too busy flying around the world racing to get the other cars done.

    • I would like to know more about sorcery and i cant wait for infamous 2 !

    • E3 Is putting a lot of good games this year I’m really looking forward to dead space 2 and inFamous2. I have some concerns about Little Big Planet 2 though. I was wondering are they going to put like a game play vid? That would be really helpful for me to see what they made.

    • Brink! Nobody out there talks about this game… and it looks fantastic!

      • Good one! I did get a hands-on demo with it, so I’ll try and squeeze a writeup onto the coverage schedule soon.

    • omfg i just saw a new date posted for fallout new vegas. i watched e3 on g4 and heard them say middle to late october, now onbluray.com they have announced the game for november 16 2010. curiosity about the true release date because this is the only remaining ps3 game im buying for the remainder of the year. get on the horn with g4 and get the straight dope and fast please.

    • that-acmilan-guy

      that sucks…

    • great news, but how i get information about video editor and when skype is coming to playstation .?

    • The uk PS+ Section of the store was supposed to update yesterday,but still hasn’t. what’s happening?
      im loving PS+ btw, if you’ve not got it you should get it.
      the only bad thing about it is that my inbox is full with “What’s That gold cross?” and “How do i get it?” Lol xD

    • Hello Sid, I’ve got a question for ya. In the briefing for playstation plus it states that fieldrunners will be free. Fieldrunners is not in the playstation plus catagory, so am i correct to assume that if I buy the game my account will not be charged. Thanks in adv.

      • Sorry, it hasn’t been published yet to the PlayStation Plus category: some content rolls out each week, and Fieldrunners is one that will be rolling out later this month. I’ll try and dig up some more details soon.

    • @62 Its coming later. You can still buy games they give you and you will be charged.

    • What about the title Tumble that you guys showed in the Move sizzle real for E3? I loved the game Boom Blox for the Wii and it reminded of the potential that an HD 3-D version of the game could be. Any details or info you could share on it would be great!

    • Huh, my comment is still awaiting Moderation.

      Interresting.

      Can’t wait for the Qore blog post today or tomorrow.

    • who cares about this bull ya’ll talking jus hit me up wit the 411 on the resurgence map pack and we good.
