  • To be quite honest I don’t know why they didn’t put TALES OF ETERNIA (DESTINY II) PSONE CLASSIC>

    There’s a movement online.. even a petition with like 100+ people. I won’t spam at any post but hey, I can’t play my ps1 games om my ps3 slim and at least one Tales series is missing at PSN.

    I really would love to see that game

    Tales of Eternia
    Destiny II
    Tales Of Legendia……….

  • Please people, stop complaining about The Walking Dead Ep2. The official site says “coming soon”. http://www.telltalegames.com/walkingdead/episodes/

  • @ PainOfSarrow

    True, but remember like i said we still have one more week so lets hope for the best as i too am eager to play Episode 2 (and the rest of the episodes for that matter) I too find it hard to believe that they wont even give us any update of the matter. One would think people paid good money for their game, and they claim these episodes would be released in a Monthly fashion. I’m not sure if Back to the Future, or any of their other games were this bad with releases, but i would think if something doesnt come next week (or maybe this week and Sony just didnt put it in the Drop) then its obvious something went wrong with the game and they need more time.

  • So geeked for Tomba! I have been hoping for years it would come to PSN, now just waiting on Tomba 2 and Legend of Legaia! :)

  • WHERE THE HELL IS MY WAKE-UP-CLUB! I WANT BE AWARD TROPHIES FOR WAKING UP!!!

  • Was coming here to find out if they were gonna release a demo for Lego Batman 2, and I get even better news with the re-release of Tomba. I remember renting it from Blockbuster when I was in high school, but It was one of the games I never got back to actually buying. Cheers to Sony for finally answering the fans’ requests.

  • @dihdav7 How does Sony suck?, its not Sony’s fault, its probably Telltales if it is Sony its probably because of QA,and you shouldn’t get a refund you probably played the game and you’ll still keep the game I think!, and you’ll probably still want to buy the other episodes.

  • @45, they’ll make it because it’s profitable. Cross-play does not seem to be supported. Lazy devs IMO, & a really insult for those that want it on BOTH systems. The next Madden also foregoes CP. Ahhh, why EA? I intend to purchase the Vita version & now guess what? Both devs have just deterred me from EVER considering the PS3 version… come on.

    If cross-play CAN be patched afterwards, that would be quite cool. Can Rey or the PSN team inquire about this?

  • And for the importing group the K-ON! rhythm game will be ported to PS3 this week.

    I’m gonna get K-ON and Tomba this week. Also, my order of Block Crash V (an arkanoid clone for the Vita) should come in the mail this week.

    I might end up getting Lego Batman 2 soonish, but not just yet.

  • @54, yep, 100% correct. TT had a delay releasing Episode 2.

  • My point is that you’ll get money back for a game that you played and will keep, and taking the money back for something that you got your money worth out of, and will probably buy the other episodes if those get delayed you will complain again.

  • Tomba! and ghost recon is all I’m getting

  • straightballin24

    Finally TOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • More classics, please.
    I’ve heard PSN JP received a lot of classics from Genesis and PC Engine, (3x the ones we got from all Sega vintage packs) why can’t we lay our hands on these too?

  • OMG OMG OMGTOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! YEEEESSSSSSSSSS FINALLLLYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

  • It should be noted that The Walking Dead Season pass is still being advertised by Sony in the following fashion.

    Episode 1 available now. Episodes 2-5 To Be Released Monthly.

    Since Episode 1 debuted April 24, you can pretty much take that monthly crap and toss it in the dumpster. Why sony doesn’t update this, well, that’s sony for you.

    Worse yet, there is still no release date for episode 2 and TTG is stonewalling. I feel bad for season pass holders, this is no way to treat people who paid their money up front. Customer service nowadays just flat out blows.

  • Read on Wikipedia that Walking Dead Ep. 2 will be released at the end of June; they referenced Steam, so hopefully the PSN version will be ready next week, too.

    It warms my heart to see so many people this excited (whiny, impatient, choose your own adjective) over an ADVENTURE game!

  • @fabtrocks … read my post before you comment!! you moron !!i didn’t say Sony !!it’s tt !!and how do you know what i’m going to buy?

  • Guys if you look up on google about episode two of the walking dead it has already been announced to release the last week in June, so instead of going crazy like we always do, let’s give TT until at least next Tuesday if them and Sony can’t have the game up by then, well then i understand the anger but again if you go and research a little there is information saying the next episode will be released next week. Let’s hope and if we get then we can all rest easy and enjoy the next episode. I am really enjoying the game and understand why people are upset, but they said monthly let’s just wait if they mess this up then we know they are unreliable.

  • ok but were castevaina symphony of the night syphone filter might not spell right but you know what i mean and the psp download only game at? and words on that would be nice to know o and use the psvita like a ps3 controler

  • iTofuMan

    yeaa i see your point and your right, but regardles even if they do need more time with the upcomming episodes they should atleast inform us ahead of time instead of leaving us hanging in the dark. i dont mind waiting IF they actualy told us something. what realy bothers me the most is the no communication part on there end on whats the hold up. i realy hope this drop some how left out Ep 2 or next week it does come. ppl will lose faith if its not here by the end of the month and im sure many already haved. wel see..

  • Can we please some GTA games come Yoto the PLAYSTATION network.You people at Sony need to get a person that know’s how to bring Apps games and media to the PLAYSTATION brand.I love you sence the Playstation one days. But it sucks to see XBOX get all of the good apps while we never get none of that stuff

  • @ PainOfSarrow

    Oh dont get me wrong i too think they should have informed us, we are paying costumers any type of update would have helped especially since this is a new game one would think they’d keep us informed about anything of the game to get in more support. I dont see whats so wrong with making a simple blog/facebook post stating there is trouble. it would cool down some steam people have and at least inform people that they need to wait a little bit longer.

    @ massimodo

    In all honesty while the game hit in April and stated the episodes would be release monthly the second episode has always been stated for June ever since the game launched, so you cant really say to forget about the monthly thing. Like i said before we still have a week left to wait till then. Plus you never know they might hit us by surprise on Tuesday and release it?

  • iTofuMan

    Exactlyyy… some kind of statement is all we need instead of the silent treatment .

  • @dihdav7 No, no I am not the moron here dihdav7, if you didn’t put a lot of un-needed “!” it would be easier to follow.

  • I’m excited to see Tomba coming to PSN. Im with #51 PlayerVersusMe Legend of Legaia would also be a first day buy. Mega Man Legends for ps3 would be awesome.

  • Magic!! YEY

  • Magic 2013 and The New Marvel pinball tables for me. 8)

  • @28: Really? You really have to ask? smh… the answer is obvious.

    @45: Because people may want it on Vita instead… and I’ll be buying LEGO games on Vita now instead of on the 360. Bought them there because they all had achievements. And I liked keeping things on one platform if possible. But LEGO games are much more fitting as portable games for me, so PS Vita is a no brainer.

  • theXsilentXchild

    Wow. never knew so many people knew about tomba. day 1 purchase for me as well. Time to kick some piggy rump.

  • Two Worlds II is a pretty good game, but be warned. If you get motion sickness from some games then this game may not be for you. The screen bounces every time you take a step. It doesn’t just go up and down but to the upper left, down center, to the upper right, down center over and over. Unfortunately, this has ruined my experience with the game so far, as I can only play it for a few hours before having to cut it off for days.

  • Any word on the Max Payne 3 Local Justice DLC?

  • Two Worlds?!

    That was on my radar so long ago, I never got around to playing it. Heck I never even looked up wether it was a free roam or not…perhapes I should look again…

    Tomba is a big win on the PS1 side of things…but I think I’ll wait to buy anymore PS1 titles till I can use them on my Vita. HINT HINT!!!!

    Lego batman, is just not my cup of tea. (I assume, but IDK if LegoBatMan is free roam)

    Im looking for a free roam expirence on my Vita akin to Gravity Rush BUT with a little more side quest and collectable object detailing. Honestly, i think it will be awhile before I see a FallOut or ElderScrolls level title on vita because its just alot to ask for. Im also not blind to the fact it may never happen, but Im going to hold out hope that it does.

  • I want tomba, but I want to play it on my vita. Also, just putting it out there, I’d love to have a Lord of the Rings HD collection. Also fatal frame.

  • OMFG! I woke up and saw Tomba and almost did a backflip.

    I don’t know how to do backflips.

    YES YES YES YES YES! THANK YOU SONY!

  • When will you release the new App?
    it should had release this week but
    instead you keep us waiting,or is it
    that you will not release it? and it was
    all lets say lies from sony once again.

  • Great to finally see Tomba, a game that should have seen the PSN spotlight from Day One, imo. Hoping for the sequel as well, as this will be a day 1 purchase for me.

    Great to see Sony bringing the fans’ requests to life; I was worried we’d never see Tomba. Keep it up, Sony!

  • Also everyone, PSOne classics are coming on Vita this summer, already announced at E3. Grab those PSOne titles!

  • That´s what I talking about!!! SONY do you want all my attention . . . give us a digital copy of the game in DAY ONE (example Lego Batman 2). But please give us a good price . . . even if you are not a PS PLUS member. PS Plus members maybe could have other benefits like 15% off or DLC. I don´t know.

    On the other hand, I want to suggest to upload all the games in the library . . . not only the famous. I think that if the third parties upload their games . . . we can choose REALLY what kind of game I want. Id the future, and is real.

    Thanks.

  • Buying Tomba as soon as it comes out. It’s absolutely necessary.

  • @solo13
    In settings, turn off the “bounce” effect = problem solved

    I put over 70 hours in the original TW2, I might have to grab the GOTY edition

  • Please support Monkey Paw Games and buy Tomba people! Just like someone mentioned earlier, if you want more AAA releases like this, we need to follow though by purchasing the games we request. It doesn’t hurt to vote on the rating either!

  • hey guys you can get Tomba now on amazon NEW for $289.99 , LOL.

  • Never heard of this game but from what i’ve read about this game.I’ll definately check this out.

  • Magic Dotp 2013 and Ghost Recon for me =)

    Can you confirm the price on MTG? Is it 9.99?

  • Sweet! A new Magic the Gathering game!
    Hopefully this version has some gold trophies and a platinum – people that spend tons of hours on these games should be rewarded just like people that spend tons of hours on other games.
    Also would be nice to have a records page, where you can see how many games you’ve played with each deck, and how many wins and losses you have with each deck. Should also show your record vs other players and your record vs the AI.
    These were the main things missing in the first two games – hopefully they are in the 2013 version!

  • Ugh, another week with no Retro City Rampage. Come on I got 1 week left till my road trip last i heard was that this game was in QA. Fast track it for me please I must have it by next week!!!

  • Tomba? Tomba! Insta-buy!

  • Definitely picking up Tomba!.

  • Tomba! I can’t wait, I haven’t played that game in so long. Brings back memories.
