Playstation Store

Today is Thursday right? The Playstation Store has been consistently getting updated on Thursdays right, or am I just having a brain fart? I don't see anything new in the store. I know they're probably scrambling to get ready for E3, but come on.

**Lyndon M STAFF** · #2 07-06-2007, 01:38 AM

I'm not too surprised there was nothing new last night. I have a feeling they'll make up for it next week with some goodies from E3.

jrs2088 · #3 07-06-2007, 10:24 AM

Yeah, they'll probably put a couple videos in the store. Hopefully they give us a demo of anything, preferably not the usual lame demo. I just need something new to play.

jay290783 · #4 07-06-2007, 11:53 AM

Er, I think they're releasing a new downloadable game called Calling All Cars soon (not sure when though).

Looks quite er different? lol

jrs2088 · #5 07-06-2007, 01:55 PM

I may just be slow and not get that if it's a joke or unless you live in the UK because Calling All Cars is already out.

**Lyndon M STAFF** · #6 07-06-2007, 02:24 PM

It may be for us, jrs, but they didn't release it in the UK yet.

jay290783 · #7 07-06-2007, 03:40 PM

Yeah, what Lyn said...

**Rob C STAFF** · #8 07-07-2007, 03:32 AM

i noticed that last night Rob after I'd already mentioned this.
It's cause i got an email from Sony as i'd already purchased stuff from the Playstation Store. I dint really understand the email they sent me so i figured they were sayin it was due out soon and that i could order it before other people or something like that

I want to say right now, if you haven't yet, buy yourself Super Stardust HD. This game is a blast! Picture the gameplay of Geometry Wars, only you move around a sphere in orbit around a planet. Add in 3 upgradable weapons (each of which can get powered up immensely) and a crapload of stuff to shoot at and you have a simple game that can get frantic fast.

The graphics are very impressive on this one- the sharpest PSN game yet. The developers of the game, Housemarque, managed to squeeze out very impressive performance here. Over 10,000 active objects with full physics and collision at once along with 75,000 particles simulated- and all running at 1080p/ 60 frames per second.

Best bit of cash i spent on a downloadable game yet!

So I take it you like the game?

When I turned on my PS3 for the first time, I downloaded Gripshift (I was the only one

) and GTHD (Oh my God what is that). Needless to say, I have regretted most of my purchases from the PSN. I had really hoped that Super Stardust would come with a demo, but it didn't.

The demo for Rub a Dub was the reason I didn't buy it. Too annoying for me.

I have heard an enormous amount of praise for SSHD though, mostly on the Official Playstation Blog... so I'll probably pick it up soon.

How is the replayability for Super Stardust? Are you allowed to pause and Save mid-game, or must you play for 30 minutes straight to avoid dying? How does all that work?

**Lyndon M STAFF** · #12 07-07-2007, 07:38 PM

You weren't the only one to buy GripShift- I have it as well. Just didn't bother with the online play at all. I've deleted it for now- if i want it again it's in my download history.

When you do end up ending the game any planets you have unlocked stay unlocked. When you fire up the game again you can choose to go to any planet you have available. It saves just at the end of the game- no pausing to save required.

When continuing during the one session (say, game over in the second planet and decide to start there for another session right away) your weaponry will stay powered up. If you leave the game and come back to it (checking the messages, folding, etc.) you'll have your weapons at basic strength and are better off going back to the start of the first planet to power up again.

Replayability is excellent- i easily find myself killing hours trying to get just a bit further in. It's more of a quick "pick up and play" arcade title in the same vein as Asteroids or other outer space shooters.

**Rob C STAFF** · #13 07-14-2007, 09:25 AM

The only things i've brought off the PS Store so far are the Crash Bandicoot PSN game and the Resistance Map pack. Nothing else has caught my fancy, but SSHD sounds good i might get it soon.

jay290783 · #14 07-14-2007, 11:02 AM

I bought Lemmings (which is both weird and hilarious) and Mortal Kombat II (is it 2? I think it is).
Oh and I AHD to buy Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection as well.
Only played Lemmings though

lol.
I've tried transferring a downloaded game to me PSP but it wouldn't work. I'm VERY confused how to do this, any ideas? Oh I tried both wireless connection AND using a mini-usb as well. Oh and YES, I do have a connection set up on both my PSP and PS3 so they recognise that they are both there.

Anything else I need to do that I haven't done?

You any ideas Lyn, or anyone else for that matter because I'm stumped

**Lyndon M STAFF** · #15 07-14-2007, 03:23 PM

What game did you try to transfer over?

Here's how they say to transfer it over in the online manual:

1.Connect the PSP™ system to the PS3™ system using a USB cable.
You must have Memory Stick Duo™ media inserted in the PSP™ system.

2.From the PSP™ system's home menu, select (USB Connection) under (Settings).

3.From the PS3™ system's home menu, select the PlayStation® format software that you want to copy under (Game) and then press the button.

4.Select [Copy]. Follow the on-screen instructions to copy the software. You can start the copied PlayStation® format software on the PSP™ system in (Memory Stick™) under (Game).

I know it's wishful thinking (Really really wishful), but do you think we'll get anything good in the store update this week?

I could make the "Oh Boy, More Trailers!" joke for the 43rd time, but I think we are all tired of that one.

I really really wanna play Echochrome, and Small Large Planet

. Did I say really?

Did anyone buy that Castlevania game? *Whistles, scratches forehead*, um, so yeah, I heard Lair was pushed back again. Guess that means no demo. Yep... OK then.

jrs2088 · #17 08-01-2007, 09:46 PM

Yeah, has anyone heard anything about this week's update? Also, I haven't seen anything about Lair being delayed. It was planned to release on Aug. 14. So, what's the new date?

According to the Official Playstation Blog, it is now set for release on September 4th.

Quote:

Due to an extra step in QA testing to enhance the community features in the game, the release of LAIR, originally set for August 14th, has changed to September 4, 2007. Natural challenges that arose while finalizing the offline game to include key online features - such as leaderboards and medal systems - have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date.

**Lyndon M STAFF** · #19 08-02-2007, 05:05 AM

It was too bad to hear about lair being pushed back- still, these things happen so no use making a fuss over it. better they delay a bit and fix things than send it out with the glitches.

As for "that Castlevania game", yes i did buy it and it is still every bit as good now as it was then. Castlevania: SOTN is considered to be one of, if not the, best game of the entire series.

I'm not expecting this week to be too eventful for store updates. the japanese store did get a demo for Bladestorm: The Hundred Year War recently, however, so we may see it or possibly Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (not holding my breath, these are rumored on other boards so don't take it as fact they're coming). To be honest, the most we can likely expect to see are some videos/ movie trailers and maybe one downloadable demo/ game.

If we got a R&CF:TOD Demo, i would be so pleased, the game looks awesome, maybe the best in the series....

The weapons in Tools of destruction, look every bit as imaginative and fun as the ones in the first four games, so good job so far Insomniac

...

And yesterday the UK store got a new Lair Trailer, a Juiced HIN teaser trailer, and yess you hear me a demo!!!! its only a GRAW 2 demo though, is there any GRAW fans around here, i'm more a Rainbow Six kinda guy, even though the demo for Graw 2 is/was pretty good....

I took a look in the American one aswell, and there was nothing new

, but there is a time difference isnt there so maybe you've got something now ?????
