Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Is the Downloadable SOCOM game worth the price?

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

if you like online multiplayer shooters than yes it is. the have patched it pretty well but its still not perfect.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

And keep in mind that it's not a run-and-gun kind of game. It normally requires teamwork and stealth tactics to do well in this game. Your health doesn't recover and you can die in a bullet or two pretty easily.

Plus it's more fun to play rounds, not respawn. You focus so much more on trying to stay alive rather than bursting out in the open and firing sporadically to get a kill. It's an awesome game.

Vengeance is Coming Exclusively to PSN in The Punisher: No Mercy

It’s been a long time coming, but today our studio has finally confirmed that this PSN-exclusive is set for release on July 2, 2009. If that’s not enough, we also nailed down a price that should get all you virtual vigilantes foaming at the mouth. Come the 2nd, you’ll be able to pick up No Mercy exclusively through the PlayStation Store for only $9.99.

For those new to the game, No Mercy is an action-packed first-person shooter! You can fight alongside or take on an eclectic mix of Punisher allies and villains in online arena-style multiplayer matches that feature a variety of solo and team-based missions with up to eight players (We’ve written about it here a few times before).

In addition, No Mercy also boasts a single-player story mode where you can unleash your vengeance on hordes of villains while unfolding an original storyline and unlocking new additional content. Beautiful art by Mike Deodato too!

Final Fantasy VII Sells More Than 100,000 Copies On PSN

Could there have been any doubt? Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation Network is a hit, garnering more than 100,000 downloads in the past two weeks.

According to Joystiq, that makes it the fastest-selling PlayStation 1 title on PSN so far. We'll see whether that's enough to spur Square Enix into releasing its other 32-bit Final Fantasies, or even Xenogears. The latter has been available on the Japanese PSN since last year.

In the meantime, Sony has announced that Wild Arms 2, Mobile Light Force and Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol will be joining the growing the suddenly robust PS1 library. And there's more where that came from -- Capcom has already said they've got plans to release a large number of titles on the service.

If you're looking for more Final Fantasy VII discussion, The Grind is currently in the midst of revisiting the title on the PlayStation Portable, with the aim of eventually reaching the end. Should be plenty more to discuss in the weeks ahead.

It's Bomberman...what more do you need to say?

I saw this last night. I hope Sony realizes now what kind of market they have with PS1 DLC if they get the big guns on there.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Good grief, I'd jump at the op to play Xenogears. Never did.

Maybe Final Fantasy VII will open Sony's eyes. There are a lot of gems from the PS1 library that could sell 100K+ downloads. I really hope they release FFIX though, that game was great.

Games like Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Silent Hill, Resident Evil 2, Vagrant Story, Resident Evil 3, Final Fantasy VIII & IX, Suikoden 2, Twisted Metal 2 are some titles that would sell really well.

I wonder how Metal Gear Solid has done.

Ah, my favorite phrase: "the playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 format software has been improved." Can that be any more vague? Which titles? How has the quality been improved?

Why does Sony insist on putting out these cryptic updates? And why does this relatively minor update get a major firmware update number 2.80? Doesn't make any sense to me.
