  • Dragon Fantasy Book I- I just can’t decide if I would rather play it on PS3 or vita

  • yay RPG Maker 3!! I loved RPG Maker on ps1 (never touched the others) With Game like modnation racers and little big planet Ive been dying for something like RPG Maker to make a return on PS3 (or 4).. make it happen someone

  • @51 its cross buy so if you buy it for one system you get it on the other free… soooo doesnt matter

  • great :D

  • @33 Dangisuckatgamin – Pfft, Dragon Fantasy is an old-style JRPG (even its name is a portmanteau of Squeenix’s cornering if the biggest names, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy). The best ever seen for co-op is during battles. I know some SNES-era games have implemented it (didn’t “FFIII” do so?), and then there’s the Tales series. Here’s a little article on the matter: http://www.co-optimus.com/article/3953/this-week-in-co-op-co-op-in-jrpgs.html

    Regardless, it piques my interest. I could do with some comedy JRPGing. Ah, Sony, you need to get with Zeboyd Games about bringing Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World over, along with the new Rain-Slick games (to complement the first two on the PSN).

  • soul sacrifice demo yay

  • @FTM-Soul-Shaker I think the word is going to be “no”. I’m really disappointed in this but I don’t want a physical copy so I guess I won’t be pre-ordering.

  • Does the PSN digital version of Injustice come with any of the pre-order bonus DLC offered by the retail outlets? If not, that seems a little unfair.

  • I’m excited for Sacred Citadel! :D
    Looks like a fun multiplayer sidescroller like Trine!

  • Soul Sacrifice Demo is going to blow my mind (think i’m going to get a clean up crew for the mess)

  • Eh, nothing for me to buy this week. Might pick up Injustice in the future.

  • @27 I concur! Guacamelee is awesome and Juan would be an epic addition to All Stars. I really hope for a higher-budget sequel (authentic or spiritual successor) that follows the same gameplay design and takes more time to finish.

  • Hello Rey I was wondering when I was going to receive my $10 for purchasing $50 or more in the PSN Store. I still have not received any message after or on April 12th for $10. Is there something wrong!

  • @45 ( KnifingGrimace ) You might be better off asking in another blog post. Rey, unfortunately, doesn’t respond to questions very often.

  • @29 that is a great idea idk why i didnt think of that or sony for that matter

  • Going to check out Sacred Citadel. Wish it had a platinum too but oh well. I already paid for Injustice so i’ll just pick that up.

  • I have Injustice: Gods Among Us on it’s way from Gamefly with option to keep it for $44.99 I liked the demo but have to see the rest of the game before I decide to buy it. Other than that I see the dry season has finally hit!

  • Will we see Injustice avatars on PSN (or heck any new release game avatars and free ones on PS+?)
    I’d really like to rock a Nightwing avatar :)

  • @63 ( Iajaro )

    Yeah, I think you’re right- thank you, I’ll do just that.

  • Ohhh Injustice as digital download ! :D i just saw this, i was expecting it today 15th after the maintenance, but its not there… since release was 15th april… i already purchased the season pass… cant wait for the full digital ! Anyone knows the exact date will be available for purchase? And the price will be 59.99 as usual right?

  • @57 : Injustice Season Pass adds 4 characters and a skin. I think thats very good but costs 14.99, i already purchased it anyways… i want all that comes with it.

  • Will dead island riptide be a day 1 digital release?

  • update today??? why hours??? soul sacrificeeeeeeee demo

  • I’m really looking forward to grabbing RPG Maker 3! I’ve been trying to find it at my local shop for the last year, and thy said they even rarely see it.

  • que sucede con fatal frame 2 en los clasicos de ps2? porque juegos como dora si salieron y este que si es un verdadero juego no?

  • It’s April 16th and Soul Sacrifice demo is unaviable… why

  • My only complaint is that the store isn’t updated when I wake up…. That’s right, I’m the important one and it should be catered around my schedule :) haha.

  • errrr update!

  • sure that update will be today???

  • What time is the update does anyone know? I want to play already grrrrr lol

  • its 4pm do you know were your update is? I still have to download install and update injustices before I can get my fix. So cruel… lol

  • Here we can see Sony’s incompetence. They are unable to release their thing at the right date. Awesome

  • still no update?

  • Day 2 Digital Injustice, Love it!

  • I really miss when the store used to update at noon.

  • Wow. So nice of the store to utterly crash the one time I’m actually waiting for a digital release.

    A++, would rage again.

  • so i live in canada BC and i still dont see the new stuff in the store can u tell me when i should be seeing it in the store for me to buy?

  • lmao 10:51 still no update very sweet thanks sony

  • Im still waiting for the update its 11:40pm im waiting for injustice and ps vita games Sony hurry and update the psn please

  • LOL

    Walks away to play Bioshock Infinite

  • 11:36 and still no update WTH

  • uh, so no one showed for today?

  • FOR WORK***

  • Well it’s 1:30AM EST, and no update for injustice !!, it’s sad when things doesn’t work as expected.!

  • Diehard gamers are a funny bunch. They get excited for things. They line up for midnight launches and pre-order and thanks to companies like Sony they get to waste time doing so when the PSN online store is concerned.

    I regret buying PSN cards so I could buy Injustice on Tuesday (now that it’s Weds. and your amateur service still hasn’t updated). Even though the online is free on PSN it still is embarrasing you guys always drop the ball. I doubt things will be any different next-gen either

  • Wednesday and still no update, this is really frustrating, honestly. I was hoping to purchase Sacred Citadel but so far Sony isn’t living up to its word. If there’s an update every tuesday, please update the store every tuesday, or else it makes Sony look sloppy.

  • It’s 7:00 AM on Wed. in the West and still no update. Come on guys!
    P.S. I’m wondering about the Vita version of R & C FFA.

  • The Injustice digital would be launched on Tuesday (16)?? Where??

  • Where’s the update? It’s now 3:00 on wed 4/17/13.

  • You lot that keep asking, “where’s the update” should probably check elsewhere via playstation’s site. What i’m speaking of/referring to, is something that caught my eye stating, “Due to a maintenance probably monday’s, there’s a delay” In other words the maintenance messed up and there’s no update yet. It’s there, just worded differently. I suggest checking it out.
