PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

64 3

I’m guessing it’s a ghost town around here with everyone playing Fat Princess (seriously, how often do you see the majority of your PSN friends playing the same game?). So while you continue to engage in the feeding of the royal cake, we just wanted to a give a huge thanks to your long-running support for the game, from the special playable demo at the GDC San Francisco meet-up through the beta and now beyond release. We hope everyone’s enjoying the crap out it (I know I am), and don’t forget to share your strategies on the Fat Princess boards.

Of course, there was plenty of other great “non-fat” PlayStation news going on this week. Shatter, a game that is bordering on addiction for me, continues to get excellent reviews. If you yet to take the plunge, it’s like Arkanoid in the future on ‘roids, times ten. Also this week, IGN’s Podcast Beyond hits its 100th episode (congrats, guys!), and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 officially gets dated for September 29.

There’s lots more of course, and don’t forget to share your links in between your fat Sunday. See you all tomorrow!

  • good week

  • Also in the news:

    I have a friend who was not into gaming as I am but I invited him to my apartment and let him play infamous which he really enjoyed.

    Then I went and bought him a copy, and because he has no PS3 and he really want to play infamous again he went and bought one. I can finally say (After introducing 3 of my friends to the PS world, that I am the PS3 devil). I used different techniques but this one was my best, because I kept watching him while he was looking for one.

    I also helped him find a good deal, one of my country internet provider gives you a PS3 with the broadband and the payment will be in monthly installments. Around 24.99 a month.

  • I want to get fat princess but thank goodness i didn’t get it 1st week because of that bug. I decided not to get FP because of trine which didn’t come this week. Instead delayed from what i heard. Maybe i’ll get FP after the bug is fixed and after i buy trine.

  • I fell for the Fat Princess hype and honestly, its really not that good of a game. Yes I did try multiplayer too and it doesn’t really make it any better. So for all of you out there wondering what you are missing, it really isn’t much. I went right for the buy, because I needed to see what was so great about this game, but for me, its not even remotely as fun as something like BF1943. I know that game isn’t for everyone either, but I couldn’t be more let down. Sorry :(

  • @6 phinnv8
    Care to share some ideas instead of spout off your opinions as fact.

    @33 ProwlingFox
    Icognito doesn’t exist anymore they are now Lightbox Interactive and relocated to Texas. Yes support has been dropped, the game is old and they supported it well, in my opinion.

    @49 zombie_56
    Fat Princess needs a game timer. For me some games just go on into infinity. It’s fun though.

    @50 wolverine81
    If you don’t play online it’s worth about $4.99, single player can be had in a couple hours.

  • Is it true that Braid is coming to the PS3?
    Man we have Castle crashers, TMNT Re-Shelled and now Braid. Now we’re almost there before Gears is announced for the PS3 lol!

  • Turbo Grafix 16 Games Please!!! (BONK) and (Keth Curage alfa zone). What happen to Bonk it was supose to come out on PS2 but never made it over seas (Japan ONLY) what up with that. But any way I hope I do see some Turbo games up there on PSN takes me back. I would buy them on the other system but PS3 is where its at!!! :)

  • Can you please make fat princess for free in one week please i beg of you please reply and thank you

  • @58 omar22nader
    LOL yeah, free …
    Wouldn’t it be nice to have everything free.

  • I have to say (LTTP as I am) that the in-game ads in WipEout HD is unforgivable Sony. I know you guys at the blog don’t usually have say in anything or control developer decisions, but I would like you to put the word out that we would like an explanation from the Liverpool group as to why that was implemented. Paying high end dollars for a game and then having them diminish it’s value to the consumer just so they can shove commercialism down our throats is unacceptable. At least Burnout Paradise did it in a way that was smart and didn’t affect the gameplay. This does. So yeah, I’d like a word with those developers, or whoever at Sony that can give me a refund on a game I paid for.

  • music with the xmb for fat princess!!! please!!!!

  • GET RID OF THE [DELETED] ADS IN WIPEOUT HD OR MAKE THE GAME FREE OR REIMBURSE ME!!!

  • Wipeout ads are a disgrace & an insult to the customer really. This got crammed in after we bought it, without notice.

  • No mention of the ads in Wipeout? It increases the load times of the game, which is unacceptable.

  • If SCEA didn’t have a stupid policy requiring english VA in all games, Yakuza 3 would actually have a chance to be released here.

    Why doesn’t Sony actually try to work with third parties for once? Bringing over Yakuza 3 would provide the PS3 with an exclusive game for the holiday season.

  • I can’t believe no one mentioned Fat Princess’ terrible server problems. No one I know can connect to games with their friends and we have to retry 10 times to get into a random game.

    Also… make the ads optional in wipeout please.

    Also….. fix the sensors for the text-chat. It’s embarrassing. Make it go by parental settings and make the max text length longer, but I can’t even type disconnect. Dis*****ct? So now I know what conne means. Thanks.

  • You guys at sony really need to cut the repair cost of the PS3 . I mean $200 to fix a small overheating problem? That’s outrageous. The price to fix the console is half the price of one to buy. I might as well buy a new 360 for that price. not that I want a 360, I’m not into it but I want to be able to have next gen and I have the 60 gig that only had one year warranty which doesn’t really help anyone. It should have been 3 years minimum! So thats my complaint. I hope you guys take some action on this to save consumers because I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one, in fact I know about 7 people myself that have the same problem.
