FLOCK! Arrives on PSN on April 9!

1,065 126

OK, OK. I know I’ve been M.I.A. lately. You also may have noticed that I haven’t been on my PS3 in a while playing SF4. Well, life’s been hectic but exciting, and any free time has been spent catching up on sleep (I promise to catch up on all my PS3 messages, sorry)!

The real reason I’m here, and it’s not to keep you updated on my life, is to let you know that next Thursday, FLOCK! finally arrives on PSN. Soon you’ll be able to manipulate cute, cuddly animals with the help of your trusty UFO. You don’t even have to be in a farm to flock sheep, Capcom is giving you the ability to do this in the privacy of your own home. You can even call a friend over and flock.

If you’ve never herd of FLOCK! before, here’s a video with the beautiful Veronica Belmont and one the folks at Capcom going over some of the cool features in the game (I’m loving the outfit Veronica!).

Did I mention trophy and in-game XMB music support? Another cool feature is the level editor where you can create your own plushy environments and share them online. There’s also a rating system where you can praise the brilliant work of others, or pan some of the more awkward levels that are made available (Giving fans creative freedom is not always a good thing).

So, if you’ve been keeping up with my blogs, I’ve been hinting for months about a cool surprise for PSN gamers this year. Well, stay tuned. I’m ready to talk about it at the end of the month.

Oh and finally, comment number 200 gets a free, redeemable token of FLOCK! and a copy of Street Fighter 4 (No spamming allowed. If you post two times in a row and hit number 200, the prize goes to the next person. Send me a PM to my PSN ID and give me your address to get your prize.).

Yours truly,
John Diamonon

  • @301 – It already was: 14.99$ ;)

  • Wow, will it get released in Europe the same day?

    Btw, I live in scotland, and you’re correct about the sheep!

  • Hey! gold5225, u stole my spotlight! xD

  • Jonh can you tell us how many trophies there are in Flock.

  • Nice one.. John D man Diamonon! You rule. Make another contest for a different game please!?

  • “not the next post, but the one after that…oops..i’m slipping…sorry PR ninjas.”

    :D

    Just one more question, RE5 multiplayer U.S. release. When? Got my platinum and I’m aching for more RE5.

  • hahah, hey John! Great to see you back on the blog ^_^ I swear, last time I saw you was Christmas time when you did this exact same thing, breaking the blog at +20,000 comments! For a while I thought you got in trouble for all the prizes you gave out >_<

    Anyway, guess I’m late.. figures, I’m on vaca in SF seeing the sites, and now I’m just waiting to catch my flight. Hope all’s well! See ya on the next post; can’t wait for the news! ^_^

  • Another thing,

    MmMmMmM… Veronica Belmont. Tell her Thrasher20 is available and also to call me or send me a PSN request please? :)

  • Its great to hear that you will can share the levels online. But the question here is:

    The level sharing function is similar in some way to the level sharing found on Little Big Planet in the sense that everyone can share the levels for free at any time at any given moment without a limit for creating and sharing levels?

    If it is so, I’m IN!!!

  • Finally something good !! thanks John

    now when you announce dead rising 1 on ps3 you gonna become a God =p

  • @ 315 Veronica is hott!

  • So, can I go to bed (gotta wake up earlier), or will there me more flocking goodies today? :E

    (BTW Age of Booty was amazing fun while it lasted, I’m glad I was here when you-know-what-twenty-thousand happened).

  • How bout helpin out a man who’s wife just gave birth to Triplets? huh? huh? yeah? no? :(
    hehe, good to see you back.

  • Bummer missed the contest, well glad to see you back John.

    How can I get my hands on the a Flock Playset, the one the MTV guy dismissed as junk.

  • Sweet, thanks.

  • Long time not see you on here. Every other group has been stingy and will never respond, so its good to have someone back who will :)

    • Good to see you again Blkant. I like posting here. I can\’t answer every question, but I try make an effort.

  • No matter how many times I hear “mother flocker”, “flock me” or “flock you”, it still makes me chuckle.

  • I shall rest then. It was good seeing you here today. Believe it or not, I mentioned you earlier today on a FW2.70 blog comment. People were saying only Firmware news could get the comments into thousands.

    I absolutely must add you on PSN when my exams are done. Which will only be in 2-3 months :\

  • Jon Mclane won ?

    i sense some Presidential candidate is behind this.

  • what the flock? I was way off!

  • I want this game!!!

    Changing subject, what’s the status on Bionic Commando Rearmed Trophies?

  • bah, I should have checked the blog earlier. John hasn’t been around in ages…

    I want free stuff v_V

  • hey whats up john! long time no hear. i know youve been busy so its all good. One question, is there going 2 be any kind of update to sf4? For example more stages, characters, or even an online tournement mode? the people at capcom have already done a phenomenal job with the game and i was just curious. Anyway, good seeing you back on the blog maybe even once you have some more freetime you wouldnt mind a little sparring session? get back me. peace.

    • Hey Blue, been awhile, sorry i\’ve been MIA. I can\’t comment regarding more updates for SF4. Gee, I sound like a PR guy.

      Yeah, I\’m down for a sparring sesh.

  • I also want free stuff…come on john make another prize for the post 1000 =D

    • If people really want another prize, then post..\”Give me a FLOCKING prize!\” I need to see if there\’s interest.

  • looks pretty cool. ill be sure to try the demo.

    peace,
    Lh

  • speaking of SFIV, I remember john saying in Home that there were figures to unlock. … I don’t think a single person has unlocked the figures. Do they even exists for us to get?

  • DARNIT!
    I’m LATE!!!! :(((

  • dang got here too late. got no prob spending the 10 bucks on flock but i cant justify buying another fighter

  • Is there any online multiplayer? :)

  • You don’t sleep, you’ve answered the question enough times…blah blah blah.

    Fact is, you’ve NEVER answered the question. When is the BCR trophy patch coming out? You and your team promised “soon after launch”, and one would agree, that up to 8 months past launch is not “soon”.

    So answer the question…don’t dodge it. Sleep or no sleep, no one wants to hear that your life is so hard because you have to answer really easy questions on a blog.

    I have vowed never to buy another Capcom game until you get your trophy act together, as well as your PR and flat out lies. This includes RE5. Its off the buy-list until Capcom becomes a company worth supporting. Right now, you do nothing to show that you care.

    • That you again Madman? How\’s life? Hopefully good. Anyways, go back to my past few blogs and I\’ve commented about this subject already. Have a nice day! :)

  • Damn, My birthday is on April 9th. Do I get a free copy?

    No it actually is. So i’ll probably buy this or Ragdoll one. Yes I always buy a DLC game on my birthday :)

  • You have vowed to miss out on a lot of games because of trophies Adam. Congrats. You really showed them. Who is the one who lost here?

  • Ok I have a serious question.

    Sometimes my father makes me watch his sheep and goats eat gross (so they won’t go in the road) and I always tell him I don’t want to do it due to being boring. If I get this game, would I be a hypocrite?

    I don’t want to be a hypocrite… :(

    • lol…you of all people should benefit most from playing FLOCK…if your real life sheep go astray, you\’ll know the correct flocking patterns to get them back off the road.

  • mother flocker….. hmmmmmmmm

    mother flocker….. hmmmmmmm

    mother flocker….. hmmmmmmmm

    sounds very interesting

    mother flocker….

  • comment number X should get a free sf4 too. if X is whatever number my comment is ^-~

    whatcha say John

  • Good to see Capcom putting out a lot of games on the PlayStation Store. I can’t wait to see all those PSOne Classics they’ve been teasing at!

  • hey John, long time no see!

    The LBP SF costumes were on the top selling add-on list for 08 (even tho they released at the end of 08) any chance for a second set? its a crime that characters like blanka didnt get the sackboy treatment.

    Also…the only thing that topped the SF add-on was the MGS level pack. I think a Megaman level pack could esaily top the MGS one.

  • Give me a FLOCKING prize!

  • Give me a FLOCKING prize!

  • I played the Qore demo a while back, it’s a very cool game! But, for $14.99 ?

    $10.00 would be more understandable…

    Who knows though, maybe I’ll end up purchasing it… maybe…

  • wow 67(68 if John replies) replies is this a record?

  • @John

    well…I bought the first pack the second it hit the PSN and yes I would buy a another SF costume pack for LBP.

    Im sure not everyone is a blanka fan tho, you would have to bundle him with more popular characters… perhaps even bring some love for the new chars. just add Ken for guarantee sales :p

    • Well, are you a Blanka fan? I\’ll ask again, if Blanka is in Flock, would you promise to buy it?

  • For those who haven’t played the Flock demo yet, you should be able to download it from the 1st FREE episode of Qore (not sure which month).
