No idea.

Mine finished over two nights (where my PS3 turns on for a couple hours and auto-updates, etc.) but yeah, that size is ridiculous. It isn't like its on two discs on 360 or anything. Lazy coding?

Here's The Drop for this week:

Vita Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - Sonic the Hedgehog and all the rest of SEGA’s great cast of characters hit the road again in this sequel to the hit racing game. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed offers convertible vehicles, brand new characters, and killer All-Stars moves! Following on from the huge success of Sonic & SEGA All-Star’s Racing, the characters now have their own unique transforming vehicles designed to take advantage of the varying terrain. The line-up on the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed grid sees SEGA favorites — including Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr Eggman and AiAi — return to battle against newcomers that include Gilius Thunderhead of Golden Axe and Vyse of Skies of Arcadia. PSN Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath - (PS Vita) – Oddworld just got … Stranger. In Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath, players step into the role of the Stranger, a rough and tumble bounty hunter who tracks down outlaws for moolah. Using a special weapons system that gives a whole new meaning to “live” ammo, players encounter deviant species and hostile challenges along the way. Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath combines first and third-person gameplay with familiar Oddworld elements and an all-new engine to deliver a unique gameplay experience. Originally released in 2005, Stranger’s Wrath has been faithful reproduced on PlayStation Vita with a raft of enhancements, including: stunning HD visuals (with improved character models as well as new detail-enhancing effects such as normal mapping and self-shadowing,) re-mastered dialogue and additional bonus material. Batman: Arkham Asylum – In Batman: Arkham Asylum the player assumes the role of Batman as he delivers The Joker to Arkham Asylum. There, the imprisoned super-villains have set a trap and an immersive combat gaming experience unfolds. With an original script penned by Emmy Award-winning Batman writer Paul Dini, the game brings the universe of DC Comics’ detective to life! Batman: Arkham Asylum exposes players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that takes them to the depths of Arkham Asylum — Gotham’s psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Gamers will move in the shadows, instigate fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City’s most notorious villains who have taken over the asylum. Using a wide range of Batman’s gadgets and abilities, players will become the invisible predator and attempt to foil The Joker’s demented scheme. Zombie Driver HD – Fight your way through the streets of a zombie infested city to save the survivors of a disastrous chemical accident that changed most of the city’s population into mindless brain hungry monsters. Time is your enemy and your car is your weapon as you race through the streets smashing everything on your way including fences, phone booths, street lamps and hordes of zombies. When the gruesomely mutated zombies become too much to handle, buy a new car or get more guns and upgrades installed. You can earn more money for finishing side quests, making kill combos and searching for hidden prizes. Game play is unrestricted and the player can freely roam through the dark streets, alleys and backyards searching for the best shortcuts or hidden power ups. Karateka – Created on an Apple II by Jordan Mechner in his Yale dorm room, Karateka became a #1 bestseller and influenced a generation of gamers with its groundbreaking rotoscoped animation and cinematic cutscenes. 28 years later, Mechner returns to his indie roots with a new take on Karateka for today’s digital game platforms, featuring art by Jeff Matsuda (The Batman) and music by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Tin (Civilization IV). Whether you are a nostalgic Karateka fan or new to the game, Karateka will charm you with its classic love story set in feudal Japan. Fight to save the lovely Mariko from the evil warlord Akuma and reunite her with her True Love! Labyrinth Legends – Explore ancient tombs of lost civilizations in Labyrinth Legends. Evade concealed traps. Solve intuitive puzzles. Collect stars and gold, and discover hidden treasure, weapons, artifacts and more. But stay alert to battle foreboding mummies, zombies, ghouls and other monsters hidden in the shadows. LEGO Lord of the Rings – Explore Middle-earth in an epic and thrilling LEGO video game adventure for the entire family! LEGO The Lord of the Rings brings to life the legendary fantasy saga by J.R.R. Tolkien. The game follows the original storylines of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Players can team up in pairs as adorable LEGO The Lord the Rings minifigures to experience countless dangers, solve riddles and battle formidable foes on their journey to Mount Doom. Knytt Underground (PS Vita/PS3) – Knytt Underground, the sequel to the massively popular Knytt and Knytt Stories, is an exciting platform game offers gamers exploration in an infinitely breathtaking atmosphere. Burn The Rope (PS Vita) – Burn the Rope is a unique game for the pyro in all of us. All you have to do is feed the fire! In this challenging game, you try to burn as much rope as you can in each level. There’s a catch! The fire only burns upwards, leaving you to tilt and turn your Vita to keep your flame alive! As you progress through the levels, you’ll encounter bugs crawling along the rope. Different bugs have different reactions to the flame. For example, the ant changes the color of the flame so you can burn different colored ropes, and the spider shoots out a web bridge so you can access parts of the level that you could not before. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan – Heavy Fire: Afghanistan – The Chosen Few offers blisteringly fast-paced action set in a modern day Afghanistan minis Hotel Mogul Demos Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2013 Dogfight 1942 Fuel Overdose Karateka Sound Shapes (PS Vita/PS3) The Unfinished Swan When Vikings Attack!

Burn the Rope sounds a blatant copy of Cut the Rope to me.

Originally Posted by PancakesAreLove Burn the Rope sounds a blatant copy of Cut the Rope to me.

The only thing that's similar is that they both feature rope.



Burn the Rope is about trying to burn the entirety of a design made of rope by rotating the device around to keep it going.



Cut the Rope is about using physics, rope-cutting, and some other objects to get a piece of candy to a little monster so he can eat it.

oh I didn't actually look up the game. I thought Burn the Rope was literally touching the rope to burn it. When they meant rotating the device I was imagining the way you sometimes have to tilt the device in Cut the Rope but that picture pretty much show the difference. Thanks.

I'm feeling a special kind of dumb right now, but I can't figure out how to get the Beatshapers indie bundle. Did I miss it or am I just doing it wrong? I searched for it on my Vita in the store and don't see it. Looked through the last few pages and didn't see anyone else having trouble except folks who couldn't get it because they already had some game from the bundle. I don't have any of the games already, and would like them all.

Thanks.

Let's hope they finally bring Deus Ex HR DLC on sale to the US PSN, it's been on sale 3 times on the UK PSN, which does me no good, I'd like to get it, but not at the price they want for it. **crosses fingers**


Oh and for those that care Metal Gear Rising Demo (over 3GB) on JPN PSN this week, and they had Fist of the North Star Ken's Rage 2 (760Mb) on last week, (not sure if still available) but it's worth checking out

Wasn't that region locked?

A friend said it wouldn't play on his US PS3 on either his normal US account nor his JP account.

It is region locked. A Japanese PS3 is required to play it.
Guess Konami really wants us to buy the ZoE HD Collection. Ken's Rage 2 however it's not so I gotta download that.

Retro City Rampage - PS3/Vita

Yep, that's it for what they'd tell us about next week. Don't expect much and enjoy the holidays.

Hmm did not know that until you two mentioned it, bummer. I was going to mess with system settings, but then said it and deleted the damned thing.

Oh and FotNS Ken's Rage 2 is everything that the first wasn't faster, better combos, everything's awesome except one thing, needs more gore, but that's only because I'm a purist with that series and if they can show it in the the 80's anime (albeit slightly censored) they could do it here as well. Will be getting it to finally play as Rei like I should have been able to (less clunkier) in the first game.

Fans of the series should be happy to have a game of this quality coming out.

Wish I hadn't spent $15 on RCR at launch, I still haven't finished it. Oh well.

MGS Vita is tempting to have installed on the go for $17. If I hadn't bought it at that price from Gamefly I'd be more interested, though.

Rats, missed Retro/Grade and Rayman Origins. I wish this PSN update occurred on Tuesday like it usually does.

In for Hell Yeah!, Journey, Quest for Booty, and Papo & Yo. I wonder why they only had Snake Eater on sale and not the whole collection.

any deal coming up on I Am Alive
