GDC 09: Fat Princess Update

Fat Princess is set for a summer release and should launch with six maps. Personally, I can't wait. I dig that you score points for killing bad guys but also for committing to your role of villager and upgrading the hat machines, the game's a breeze to jump into and a blast to play -- nothing says fun like decapitating your friends and watching their blood gush across an Animal Crossing-like world -- and I can see me putting a lot of online hours into this one.

New Screens

No online, no buy. Sucks because this game looks pretty awesome.

It's unfortunate, but I think it'll still be a buy for me.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

$9.99? That's a steal for me. No online is a big unfortunate mishap, but I'd take it over no offline multiplayer (like Pure).

Wow, FP looks incredible. I wasn't so excited about it at first, but after seeing those videos I am sold.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

how much is the blue tooth headset?
If I get another controller, should I just go with a Sony wireless or a offbrand wired one?

PSN name is DookieMowf

$50 for the sony headset and that is the best bet from all the reviews i read (i read a TON of reviews before I buy stuff like this)

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Something that really sucks on Wheel of Fortune is that when you play online you can't have any computer players. Last night my brother and I wanted to play each other, but we always had to wait for a 3rd person to join. Luckily two of them quit pretty fast after not winning one of the first two rounds and then the game let us continue with just the two of us, but we did run across this one kid that liked to solve the puzzle everytime when it was his turn and he would fill in the letters with crude stuff. It was pretty annoying since we had to wait for him to do it each time and we couldn't kick him out.

how is the variety on wheel of fortune? is it the same puzzles over and over?

i might pick this up today

Sony offers to match development budgets with guaranteed royalties

Sony has launched a scheme to offer developers guaranteed royalties in return for PlayStation exclusivity.

The first game to take advantage of the deal is Doublesix's Burn Zombie Burn, which goes live via the PlayStation Network today. Sony has indicated it's "looking for a great many more titles" to take advantage of the fund.

"It's all very well for us as platform holders to say, 'Put all your money into PlayStation Network, it's a fantastic idea,' but are we prepared to put or money where our mouth is? The answer is yes," Chris Eden, Sony's development relations manager, told the Game Developers Conference.

"We're looking for a number of great games, and in return for exclusivity we'll match your development budget with guaranteed royalties," he said.

Eden added that Sony is not buying titles directly from developers, and IP rights and control of games will remain in the hands of the teams that create them.

"A really important thing to point out is that this is not first-party publishing, this is not Sony buying your product," he said.

"You'll be the publisher, you'll own the IP and you'll control your product. This is assisting you to make your next step from developer to publisher."
