What's in the PS Store (5/31/16): Neon Chrome, Oxenfree, Primal, There Came an Echo, Plague Inc, & More!

[RelentlessRolento]

nice! look like this thursday will be good. Between the katamari demo (you don't ahve to wait to tomorrow, itll be up tonight), dissidia demo, and the fury pack I can easily say this is a good week already.

 

[dallow]

I recommend Shatter to everyone for tomorrow as well, not released but I know it will have the Dallow Seal of Approval.

It's from Sidhe, makers of Gripshift, and looks like a really good twist on the old Breakout formula.

IGN gave it a 9.0 and I expect more great reviews.

$7.99

Lemmings PSN getting trophy patch

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Shatter from screens looked like crap to me but I watched a few videos laast week and was impressed how different it is.

Not my type of game, but looks good.

 

[Serpentor]

Shatter looks pretty good for $7.99, it's a variation of Magic Ball i guess

 

[dallow]

Katamari demo is up on PSN JPN. 528mb.
Looks like Tales of Vesperia demo is missing. It was nothing to write home about anyway.

Also a demo for Qruton, aka Numblast for PS3 and PSP.

There's also a cute Katamari and Noby Noby Boy theme.

It was gone when I tried to download it early yesterday, but as of now it is back up. I don't if it's the same one or not, but there is a ToV demo up.

 

[LXL_Guy]

Downloading Katamari Demo right now. Guess it'll kill some time before we see what we get this week in the PSN store.

[quote name='blitz6speed']Lemmings PSN getting trophy patch[/QUOTE]

If they'd drop the price of Lemmings to celebrate this patch, I'd consider picking it up...

 

[mykevermin]

How much is Lemmings? For $3 I'd buy it, for $5 I'd think about it. For any higher, I'd laugh you out the door.

 

[FriskyTanuki]

$5.99

 

[mykevermin]

:lol: That's bloody close to $5. I was expecting someone to say $7.99 or $9.99.

 

[smiggity]

Its worth about 7 bucks. Ive put more time into Lemmings than many of my other 10 dollar PSN Games. The music alone is worth a couple bucks. Also along with Trophy patch is supposed to be DLC

A Killzone 2 map pack bundle will be coming today that includes all three map packs for $12.

 

[dallow]

Lemmings is pretty polished.
I may as well pick it up. I had the demo forever.

[mtxbass1]

How many more ing spec ops games are there? Good grief.

 

[MSUHitman]

US Store just updated.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

jumping on dissidia!

 

[QiG]

Are these Spec Ops games some sort of sick inside joke at SCEA? Not funny guys (

 

[mykevermin]

[quote name='mtxbass1']How many more ing spec ops games are there? Good grief.[/QUOTE]

No in' joke. I was thinking of cracking a joke last night that they should just rename it the Spec Ops Classics section of the Store.

I'm thrilled to see Wild Arms 2, though. About in' time.

 

[fizzywix]

No Trine! ;_;

Shatter looks good though, will probably get that. KZ2 maps finally as well.

 

[kevlar51]

cod w@w?!? didn't we all trade that away 3 months ago?

 

[RelentlessRolento]

wow... i'm actually happy to see how the PSP Tomb Raider games were priced. Finally someone seems to understand the pricing.

 

[FriskyTanuki]

Not when World at War's map packs are two of the top four items sold since last week.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

:lol: Spec Ops is 64mb

Just bought Shatter and beat the first world. Awesome game.

 

[loxthefox]

[quote name='mtxbass1']How many more ing spec ops games are there? Good grief.[/QUOTE]

Don't worry, there should only be one left.

 

[dallow]

Buying Shatter, Wild Arms 2 for sure.

 

[Ryukahn]

Getting the Dissidia demo as I type this. Will have to look at Wild Arms 2 and see how that is. Also wonder when Suikoden 2 will hit.

As for Spec Ops, I think they have one more game to release.

 

[FriskyTanuki]

The update post on the PS Blog says that buying either of the Tomb Raider PSP games gets you a free theme until 7/31.

DAMN IT. I was about to post that right now. I am probably to blame though because I did buy a spec ops game when it first came out at that value 9.99 price that take two was advertising. I'm glad about the wild arms 2 bit too. Sold mine a few weeks ago for almost 30. Never beat it, maybe I should try to beat it now.

 

[gunm]

ahahaha, Spec Ops again!! That's turning into a running joke now.

I'm in for the WipeOut expansion, Wild Arms2, and maybe Shatter.

 

[J7.]

Those Tomb Raider prices are as good for Anniversary at GS used with 30% off and better than Legend with 30% off. I though Wild Arms 2 supposedly sucked? In for the 2 demos.

 

[Richlough]

Does Tomb Raider Anniversary have trophies ?

 

[FriskyTanuki]

No, it's a normal PSP game.

Depends on what you like, I guess--the mainstream reviews for Wild Arms 2 weren't very good. Some journalists called it "boring" and that it "lacked polish".

I've only played the original and thought it was good, not great, but the only reviews I've seen for the 2nd one said it were bad. Is it basically as good as the original, but looked down upon in 2000, or is it worse than the original?

 

[PuppetYuber]

RPGFan gave Wild Arm 2 a 89 and 90

 

[RelentlessRolento]

I know alot of people are going to disagree with me, but the Wipeout Fury add on is the highlight of the day... wow... holy shit. ing amazing presentation.

dosn't even feel like the same game.

 

[ChibiJosh]

Personally Wild ARMs 2 was the worst in the series, but a lot of people say it was the best. It's still an enjoyable game.
I just hope Valkyrie Profile hits sometime. I have all the Wild ARMs and Suikodens, just need some VP.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm hoping Vagrant Story hits personally, but that's a shot in the dark...

WA2 is considered best and worst because of what?

Same here man. Just booting up the game looking at the menus was amazing. Played Elimination and Zone Elimination till 11:55 P.M. Can't wait to see what Studio Liverpool has next year.

 

[OkeyJokey]

So other people are paying 6 bucks for 3 Killzone maps and I have to pay 6 for 2.
ugly
At least wipeout fury makes up for it.

 

[KingBroly]

I have one concern about Wipeout Fury. The difficulty. I want to know how it rates in terms of difficulty in comparison to the standard campaign. Especially towards the end, which became a chore more than anything.

I most want the games I don't own of course, like Suikoden II. But I'd love to see classics like Vagrant Story get put up there. I wish they did some upgraded ports too, like higher def versions.

 

[Banjora]

I enjoyed both WA 1 and 2 quite a bit. It's been a long time but I'm tempted to either find my old discs or get the download for psp/ps3. Either way good to see them release more ps1 classics.

The tracks are a little more narrow. Everything else is the same.

 

[Inf^Shini]

I played both Wild Arms 1 n' 2, loved em both, only passed Wild Arms 2 because I lost my save in the first game :/

WA2 was fun, of course it'll feel a bit outdated and the combat will feel a bit slow going and look odd, but it's still an enjoyable RPG game.

One word of warning though, if you hate puzzles in RPG's, PREPARE to get stumped once in a while; I found myself at GameFAQS on more than one occasion.
