There are a crazy amount of games coming out over the next few weeks (and, well, months), so I’m feverishly trying to finish up my unbeaten campaigns. With any luck, I’ll finish up Mafia II today (loving the story and voice acting in that one) in between football watching and PSP sessions of Valkyria Chronicles II.

Rey will be by with the full list of upcoming PS3, PSP, and PSN games later this afternoon. What have you been playing this weekend?

    oh and i tried Dead Space 2 multiplayer, and it feels weird. I dont know i think it should have been something different in term of multiplayer, its not a game to play like a regular shooter like a teamdeath match. They could have think of something more original, thats my opinion. As it is now i dont think the multiplayer is worth it.
    The singleplayer will do it tho.

    Resonance of Fate, Resonance of Fate, Resonance of Fate!

    If you like RPGs this is a must. I don’t get why no one is talking about. Sure it came out at a bad time (FF13, GOW3) but still its the battle system is decades a head of FF or anything else.

    Girds, standing still all this is meaningless after playing Resonance of Fate.

    Its the Demon’s Souls of turn based and by the end the only thing I want is another game just like it with swordplay instead of guns.

    Go pick it up if you haven’t already it demands to played. Plus it has oh much fan service in it. Leave it to Japan to master skirt physics.

    Also whats up with Level 5. Need to get them on blog talking about WKC2 and then start bugging them about Dark Cloud again!

    I’ve been playing Uncharted 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Zen Pinball (the Mars DLC table is a ton of fun).

    Question: Why has Sony decided not to be an exhibitor at NY Comic Con which is being held Oct. 8-10?

    Sony was an exhibitor at last year’s NY Comic Con?

    hey jeff, there is a new game called battle vs chess and i wonder if you guys are going to cover this game on the blog. because the game seems pretty interesting to me.anyways, cant hardly wait for rorona this week…also,i’m wondering if the netflix update is going to come early oct or late?

    off-topic tonite is going to be the miami dolphins vs the nj jets so i’m gonna spend my time watchin’ that,go dolpins!
    oh and tomorrow is going to be the heat training camp,i cant hardly wait for the pre-season games to kick in.gonna be fun to see the three amigos beat everyone else on the league :0

    • Jeff Rubenstein
      September 26, 2010 at 3:57 pm PDT

      I guess you live in Miami, huh? :)

      I don’t have a date on the Netflix thing, so stay tuned.
      Southpeak pitched us on Battle vs Chess, but we haven’t had a chance to take a look at it yet.
      Anyone else interested in this title?

    No offense Jeff, but it took forever for you guys to implement something as simple as built-in grief reporting. What’s it going to be, another year or so before we can use the PS button to read messages upon notification?

    Don’t get me wrong, I think PSN is great, but I can’t help but to think that you guys work too slowly on things at times.

    @5 Why don’t you buy PlayStation Move, and a few games for it. It is phenomenal!

  • KingDubin

    Can’t wait for GT5!

    So, when are you going to start advertising for the game?

    • Jeff Rubenstein
      September 26, 2010 at 3:58 pm PDT

      We rarely advertise games on TV until we’re very close to release. Attention spans being what they are and all.

    I was watching that Talking Owl Movie, but before the movie started, the Kevin Butler commercial for Eyepet played! I just felt like screaming, ” Go Playstation!” but I think the manager would have kicked me out.

    I have been experiencing problems with PSN since the last update/maintenance. About every time I start a game it tells me an error has occured and it signs me out. When I sign back in, its fine for a second but then the same thing. I sign in 4-5 more times before it stops.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have a suggestion i have bought the pool table the dart board and recently the poker table i love them all but my question or suggestion would be where is the chess board i know the mall has one and the playground but i would love to have one in the ps home.

  • FormerPSfan
    September 26, 2010 at 2:16 pm PDT

    Ok so we have grief reporting in messages thats an improvement. Now when is it going to work as advertised? already come across people who find it crashes their PS3’s repeatedly.

    Reporting cheaters or harassment (such as racism) ingame would be a great step forward. Your competitions had this quite some time, when will you?

    Lastly did you think the OtherOS would simply dissapear? It hasn’t, take the hint. Seriously as if massive lawsuits were not enough of a hint.

    It’s been a great week for Sony. I actually got my Move on 9/17, instead of 9/19. I’m loving Kung Fu Rider & Sports Champions.

    Anyway, got a few questions for you guys on the Playstation Blog, and while you may not have the answers yourselves, hopefully you can shoot them to the right people.

    1) Will Woody (The Gopher) from ModNation Racers ever make to the Playstation Store? He has promised for the past 2 weeks, and as of writing this, I have yet to see him. If you ask me, at this point he should be free.

    2) Where is the “Behind the Scenes Heavy Rain Movie” in the Playstation Home Theater? Again, as of writing this, it isn’t there, and I’ve been eager to get my hands on a Heavy Rain award. Heavy Rain has been my favorite game of this entire year.

    3) Does the Mortal Kombat 1-3 HD Collection for PS3 exist? I know its a stretch, but when I was at my local GameStop, I actually caught a glimpse of it in the Coming Soon List for PS3. I went back to preorder on a different day, and it has since disappeared, leading me to believe it was a premature reveal.

    Granted I know you porbably don’t have detailed, definitive answers for these, but any help is appreciated.

    More love for WKC2 here. I really want to get Level 5 on the blog so we can bug them about the PS3 version of Ni No Kuni. That game looks amazing.

    As for what I’ve been playing…with the recent announcement of Disgaea 4, I’ve brushed off the dust on my copy of Disgaea 3 and continued levelling my characters. Just passed the 100 hour mark this weekend. How’s that for “bang for you buck”?

    Also..Phantasy Star Portable 2…I don’t see enough people online. If you have a PSP you should be playing this game. Or…well…try to, if you find time between Valkyria Chronicles 2 and Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep.

    Too many games to play, too little time…

    one question about John Daly’s Prostroke Golf . Will the game allow me to throw my career down the drain by indulging to much in booze and cigarettes , and then find myself selling cheap trinkets at golf tournaments from an RV ?
