Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

If I was to get one of the 3 R&C games, which should I get? UYA? It's the one with multiplayer, right?

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

No demo for Tony Hawk?

I played the Rock Band: Blitz demo. Nothing special, but kind of different. I just wish Harmonix had gone the way of a Rocksmith-like game.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Something I would like is full game trials for like 1-2 weeks for around $10-20 dollars. I dont like/want to do a Gamefly/Netflix to rent a game. Since there are no blockbuster/video store around where I live, I havent rented a game since Jan/Feb.

Even if it would just be for Playstation Plus, I would do it in a heartbeat. There were alot of games I wanted to play, but didnt want to pay $60 for. Alot of games I am waiting for Black Friday to purchase.

This would be awesome, actually. No one really offers game rentals anymore (Blockbuster is pretty much dead and Gamefly is too expensive for the average consumer) so to be able to rent a game for a week for around 15 bucks would be pretty sweet.

Zen Pinball 2 tomorrow!

And it's out. Downloading now, 329 MB on PS3, 245 on Vita.

[bcruise]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Getting your old tables on Vita is pretty easy, the Buy/Demo menu options for each table change to "Download and Play" which takes you to a store-like download screen. If you already own the content on PS3 you'll see a price of $0 and can download it for free. The tables run smaller than their PS3 counterparts, but they still look really good. And you don't even have to exit ZP2 to install the new tables - they'll install automatically and show up as playable as soon as they're done.

The PS3 import process is a bit more unwieldy due to them not installing automatically - you'd have to exit the program every time you install a new one. It doesn't really import them, it just downloads the updated tables. For this reason, it's probably best to just find everything you already own in the store and download them at once using background download - it'll go much quicker.

LOVING this already on the Vita - it's a full 60 FPS game and runs every bit as fast as anything I've seen on the system. Menus look sleek, too, and it's great to have access to all of Zen's tables in one application.

Still getting my tables for the PS3, will comment on that later.

Edit: Actually, they do install from inside ZP2 on the PS3, given enough time. But you can only download 1 at a time, which is going to take a while if you have most of Zen's library.

Football is in the air and on the minds of gamers everywhere. With Madden 13 dropping last week (available in the PlayStation Store), and now with this week’s arrival of the DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket, football fans have a giant reason to call the PS3 home for the season, and beyond.

NFL Sunday Ticket offers PS3 owners without access to DIRECTV the ability to live stream every out-of-market NFL football game this season for $299.95. Imagine sitting down in your living room every Sunday, having friends over, and watching all the NFL action, right on your PS3. The first game is on 9/9, so download the app today! Also note that if you’re already a NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX subscriber through DIRECTV, you can download the app and get the access as part of your subscription.
PlayStation Plus members, the Instant Game Collection sees a sizable addition with Borderlands! Grab it free with your membership, and while you’re at it, take advantage of the 50% discount on all the amazing Add-ons. You’ll also find great discounts on the SEGA classic Daytona USA with a 40% discount off the PSN Sale price, and strategy game Greed Corp at 75% off.
Pinball fans: Zen Pinball 2 has arrived! The core game is free to download, but you’ll want to check out the amazing Add-Ons that can make your pinball experience all your own. Marvel tables, an amazing Super Street Fighter II tribute table, and more are all available to download. Don’t forget that all the DLC you purchase works on both PS3 and PS Vita versions.

PS3 Full Games dropping this week include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Bioshock. MW3 hardly needs an introduction and offers up all the great action and online multiplayer that Call of Duty is known for. If you have yet to jump into the Bioshock universe, the original game is now available. It may be the perfect time to relive the first adventure in preparation of next year’s Bioshock: Infinite.
Check out the rest of the details below, and as usual, drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know what you think. PSN Community Managers Kristine Steimer and Morgan Haro will answer any questions that they can, as always. You can also chat with the PS Community in the forums on this update.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Zen Pinball 2 looks amazing on Vita. Nothing against Pinball Arcade, but visually, that game doesn't hold a candle to this. Plus, I have like 25 tables. Too cool!

View 4 FTW.

EDIT: Okay, maybe I'm being slightly too gracious, looking back at older tables like El Dorado and remembering their PS3 counterparts. Even still, it's just a thing of beauty.

Yeah, no argument here on the looks of the two games. Zen Vita definitely has some lighting going on that Vita Pinball Arcade just doesn't have.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

ZP2: Have you guys tried flipping the Vita 180 and playing it long ways on the screen. It's an extremly cool novelty, not sure I could play it like that permanetly but it's cool to do. I do like seeing the whole table top down but on some tables there a small things that are hard to pick up.

I've tried, but I prefer using R & L for my flippers.

Turn off all arcade effects and try and use View 4, and you have yourself a gem for a title.

Yeah, tried it, don't really like it all that much. I know some people like to see the entire playfield, but I prefer the view where it looks like you're standing behind the machine. The full view probably works better for those full-size virtual cabinets like you see for Visual Pinball - but not a small screen like the Vita's.

Did you know you can even flip the Vita upside down and Zen's screen will re-orient itself for that? Impractical, but still pretty cool.

Man Matt....I can't touch your score on Thor! Never was any good at that table.

Tried it, liking it a lot!
