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

Couple of new PSOne Classics hit the JPN Store this week:
Family Mahjong (Mahjong PSOne games on the JPN store make Spec Ops in the US look like a meek effort, as there are easily over a dozen of them)
My Garden
(something that looked like a SciFi RPG whose title I couldn't read the name of)
and 4 more Simple Series games (¥300 a piece!)
Boxing
Hanafuda 2
Shooting (I may try this one out)
Slide Puzzle (no, really, it's like those 15 frame puzzles where you move one piece at a time to make a picture.)

Also noticed that there's a contest when you buy Rockman 10: they're giving away 50 random copies of PSOne Rockman 3. Thing is, only 1 and 2 are in the PSN Store right now, so it looks like we'll see Rockman 3 in April for sure.

New High Stakes on the Vegas Strip: Poker Edition add-on is also coming along with a trophy patch for the base game.[/QUOTE]

Now I wish I'd bought this for $4.99 way back when. I just didn't see the value in a game that very few people would be playing online. Now that there's trophy support, people who haven't played it in ages will be doing so again. I may just have to buy this for $9.99 after all.
 
Also: "With your game purchase, receive a male and female piece of the Spring Fever Home Avatar Costume as a gift."

"Sure, here are the deets:
Each week a male and female piece of the costume will be unlocked as a reward when someone purchases an item from the spring fever sale. The schedule is as follows:
Week 1 – bee feet, flower pot feet
Week 2 – bee legs, flower pot legs
Week 3 – bee torso, flower pot torso
Week 4 – bee hands, flower pot hands
Week 5 – bee head, flower pot head
Week 6 – bee feet, flower pot feet
Week 7 – bee legs, flower pot legs
Week 8 – bee torso, flower pot torso
Week 9 – bee hands, flower pot hands
Week 10 – bee head, flower pot head"

Will this be highlighting new releases or is it just for sales? It doesn't seem to specify, though with the way the original "event" only offered half of the games they listed, I'm doubting it.

Sorry, this week's release will be 'unknown game 34' from their random list. Or possibly 'crappy game that nobody played 8 years ago #56".

It just confuses me when hundreds of people are begging for better games to be released on the message boards and begging to give Sony their money. Suikoden 2 on PSN would sell tens of thousands of copies. Same for FF 9 and Xenogears. How hard can it be to put the game on PSN?

sony is a cocktease. they know people dont want most of the shit they put out so instead of making people happy and releasing the good shit ( or at the very least doing a survey on what games people want added) they just throw darts at a bunch of names on a board and whatever the dart hits is what we get.
 
I looked those games up on the ESRB's site and none of them have been rated for the PS3/PSP, so Konami and Square Enix probably haven't pushed for them to come out on the PS Store yet.

I can picture FF9 coming out this summer. FF7 game out last summer and FF8 came out 6 months later in December so FF9 should be do in June/July.

Do you know the sales or a site where I could find the sales info for PS1 classics. You would think Sony and Konami would push for the games to be put on the PSN just to kill off the used game market. Suikoden 2 still goes for almost 100 used on Ebay/Amazon. The other titles are between 20-30 used. Based on the price of the Game on the PSN, these companies could easily make 100'000 plus for nothing.

Go onto any videogame website and for specific game message boards. Gamefaqs, IGN, Gamespot, etc etc etc. Search PSN on the board and you will see a dozen topics about when is the game going to come out because I want to buy it. It's hundreds of people for each game and thats still a small minority of those who would buy it. Millions of people just bought FF 13. Imagine how many would buy Suikoden 2 just based on word of mouth/reviews for 6-10 bucks? It's funny because the first one has been on PSN since December 2008.
 
how well did ff9 do in sales when it came out way back when ? i reeber a few ads here and there but it didnt seem like it had the same big deal hype the way the other ff games did.

I think it sold a couple of million world wide. I remember it being released right around the same time as Zelda MM and the PS2 in the states. I dont remember the game being hyped that much in Fall of 2000 because it was more of a throwback to the earlier FF's and nothing like 7 or 8.

According to Wikipedia 5.30 million worldwide as of 2003. The Release date was mid November 2000 which was 2 weeks after Zelda MM and PS2 came out. So just in terms of people having disposable income it was going to get slaughtered in sales.
 
[quote name='smiggity']Mad people still play High Stakes Poker online. I just played checked last week and there were a ton of tables up.[/QUOTE]

That's good to hear. Maybe it'll go on sale for $4.99 as part of this Spring Sale? I'd also buy the additional add-on they announced as well (probably $2.99 or so I'm guessing) if so.

thanks for the info. i guess thats why we arent getting it anytime soon on psn they may not think people actually want it. sucks because ive always wanted to play it but people want way too much for a copy of it.
 
Perfect Weapon. Really Sony? Yet another terrible game hits the PSN. Sony continues to sit on an absolute gold mine of original Playstation titles and we get crap like that.

They're probably waiting until a point comes when they have no new releases and they are having some trouble generating revenue. I could see some big names released this summer.

They could release a A to AAA titles for the next 100 weeks and STILL have solid games to release. I don't buy for one minute that they are waiting on anything. We would have seen a flood back over 2 years ago when there were weeks when the only thing released on the marketplace were some videos if that was the case.
 
What an update...

What gets me most about the PSOne situation is that there are plenty of games within franchises that have not been released despite other portions of the franchise coming out months or years ago. Suikoden 2 is possibly the most glaring omission but off the top of my head, Crash Team Racing, Twisted Metal 1, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Tekken 3 spring to mind.

It's not that simple to get the games onto PSN & Sony didn't have a system in place to get lots of games up other than their own titles, that's why it took them until 2009 to get lots of games on it. 2 years ago they were not ready to get PS1 games up frequently.

It's just business, put the crap up get any sales you can from it then put up better titles and in the meantime put up AAA titles occasionally so it doesn't seem like you're being fed nothing but crap and they provide revenue when desired. Then factor in that publishers haven't been actively trying to get some of their titles onto PSN yet either.

After the stellar sales of FF 7 & 8 on PSN, which were top 10 titles last year and this year, I think FF7 may have even been #1 in 2009 & 2010, SE recently stated that they're looking into getting FF9 on PSN. http://scrawlfx.com/2010/03/square-enix-looking-into-final-fantasy-ix-on-playstation-network

Since I have it on disc I'll just stick with that then sell it. PSP play is nice but I just don't use that function enough personally.
 
Have any clues been dropped about what games we can expect for next week's PSN Spring Sale? I know we just had the new update today, but I'm eager to add to my collection. Pixeljunk Shooter and High Stakes Poker would both be great for $4.99.

Promising news about FF9. Any news/theories on why companies aren't pushing for PS1 titles to be put on the PSN? It doesn't cost them any $ to get a game released on PSN. Companies such as Konami would make hand over first in extra cash for zero work. It's pure profit. I can only imagine how many tens of thousands of copies Suikoden 2 would sell on PSN.

Square has several titles that would do Amazing on PSN. Chrono Cross, FF 9, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Brave Fencer Mushashi to a lesser extent.

Um, what? Sony released Tekken 2, CRASH BANDICOOT, Syphon Filter, Hot Shots Golf 2, Cool Boarders, Medievil, Jumping Flash, Rally Cross, Jet Moto, 2 Extreme, Destruction Derby, Wipeout, Spyro the Dragon, Twisted Metal 2, Wild Arms, and Warhawk in 2006-2007. You can't get much more first party than a lot of those titles J7. Don't give me this "they didn't have the system in place" crap when they had 6! titles up on launch.

You know nothing about what it takes for Sony to put a game up on PSN. You're actually going to tell me that the publisher of Sorcerer's Maze, or "Dirt Jockey: Heavy Equipment Operator" is actively trying to get their mediocre, budget line games on PSN? That's BS and you know it. A majority of the developer houses for these low budget titles don't even exist anymore.

Face it J7. Sony suffers from some of the most piss-poor management when it comes to online content here in the US. Look at the number of titles that other regions have. Japan has nearly TRIPLE the games we do and got most of those back in 2007, when you claim that Sony didn't have the "system in place."

Most if not all of these are available on the JPN store and at least Vagrant Story on the Euro store, if memory serves. So no real argument as to why we don't have them yet.

Don't feel to bad, I know mykevermin posts the JPN updates on new PS1 titles, but frankly a lot of what's being released on there store recently is pretty much shovelware as well with the Simple line, some Majhong and Shogi games, not exactly cream of the crop neither.

I agree with the sentiment that we'll see a handful of heavy hitters around E3 time, sadly enough the one I'd like to get still isn't out, even though I don't really need it (Einhander) and I don't have enough yen on my JPN card to get it since I wanted Rakugaki Showtime more than it.

Honestly I don't know what I'd get if they PSN'ized it, since I own over 120+ PS1 games there's nothing out there that either I don't own or haven't played that I want really bad.

Edit: not totally true, I'd like non-pal versions of Klonoa Beach Volleyball and Vib Ribbon (that I both own) and a few other odds and ends like Rapid Reload, and some other imports and oddities I own.

I was always surprised that JPN got Silent Bomber so early, that was one overlooked and really cool game, which I own of course. :lol: ;)

My theory why I think they are holding back is they want to wait until the PSN premium service is up and running, plus they want to get D/L PS2 games up and running as well.

Just a thought, I guess we'll have a better idea here in less than three months. ;)

Agreed, been wanting PJS, but for $5, fun little game, just can't bring myself to put more than that out for it.
 
Uncle's right - there's been a *lot* of shovelware lately in the JPN store (well, re PSOne Classics anyway). They did release PC Engine Gates of Thunder about 2 weeks back, but it's priced at ¥800. A pretty good shooter from what I understand - and it opens the possibility of seeing other PCE CD-Rom games on the PS Store - Castlevania Rondo of Blood and Fighting Street, for example.
 
Just bought FF IX off of Amazon for 10. Got sick of waiting for PSN to make news. Price was going to be the same anyways. If I ever get a PSP again, I'll just download it off of PSN and sell the hard copy.

ALL of those games except Tekken 2 were Sony published games on PS1... that was my point... that it's easier to get games onto PSN that were originally published by Sony. 6 titles up at launch (that were probably all 1st party originally) when they had a lot of time up until launch to work on getting those 6 games up at launch... many months. That is a lot different than getting up multiple games every single week of the year for multiple years...

They did not have a good system in place, that's why we didn't see shit until recently. They admitted this themselves and said they needed to work hard on getting PS1 games up.

I didn't claim to know all about what it takes for them to get games up on PSN. You assume they can get whatever they want up there easily every single week. I merely said it's not that easy to get up any game they want and get them up each week. I never said crappy publishers were going out of there way to get their games on PSN (though that would not be surprising). I only said that some publishers had not been actively trying to get some of their games onto PSN & the point about SE not actively trying to get FF 9 onto PSN until recently that I included in my post further supports that.

Having the system in place in 1 region of the world doesn't mean they have the system in place for the other. When I say system in place I am not talking about the hardware I am talking about the corporate structure.

Nintendo is similar, they put up shit titles so they can make money off them too. They have more games up in JA than NA by far. Companies do what they think they should to squeeze more out of the bottom line. By spreading their titles out they ensure continuous revenue stream over time. You should be mad at Sony for feeding you crap, but you should not be mad thinking they do this because they don't know that AAA games would sell well.

Companies are bureaucratic messes sometimes. Companies spending more time worrying about their titles in development. Companies not realizing demand. Companies thinking they can release the titles again on another console for more money instead of less on PSN.
 
You'd think PSN would be releasing PS2 games like crazy due to the fact that all of the "newer" systems don't have PS2 backwards capability. To me that's where their emphasis should be. Not on PS1 games that are nearly impossible (and this is coming from as loyal a PS1 fan as there is- greatest RPG system of all time!) to play on an HDTV.

I bought Suikoden (as should every RPG fan regardless of whether they own the original disc version), and boy were the graphics difficult for me to deal with. If I'm playing a game like that on a PS3, it's almost the equivalent of owning a Dodge Viper or Lamborghini Diablo and only driving it in residential areas! :roll:

At least some of the PS2 games (can you imagine how many copies they'd sell of GOW II or GTA San Andreas) would still be playable on a PS3. In fact, you could just do like the GOW Collection did, re-releasing the games for download in 720p.

Suikoden 1 looked just the same to me. It didn't seem that date. I also didn't expect much because it was only 6 bucks. Plus nobody plays RPG's because of graphics, well back then at least. Suikoden 2, CC, FF 9, Vagrant Story have all held up pretty well. It's the PS1 sports games that are a mess and that nobody would ever want to play again.

All it would take is 1 person from Konami to go on gamefaqs.com or ign.com or anywhere else and see the Suikoden 2 message board. There is probably 5 dozen PSN topics with hundreds of people begging for it. Than the Konami rep goes onto to ebay and sees that the game is selling for 100 minimum used. Same goes for Square and all of their RPG hits. I am not calling for a hit game every week but it would be nice if there was at least 1 AAA Heavyweight per month. That would last til 2020.
 
You're 100% correct. But then you have to picture him trying to convince the rest of Konami and being shot down by some corporate bigwig or told they're better off rereleasing/remaking it for more money at retail despite having no plans to do it, or told the demand is not as high as it would appear because the original was in short quantity. Stuff like that.

I haven't played Anarchy: Rush Hour, but someone said it was "Like a poor man's Midnight Club... controls like crap, but the races are pretty easy." Oh and they also used the words "pretty awful."

It is basically a poor man's midnight club, its not too terrible if you remind yourself that its only a $8 game. What surprised me about it is the fact it has a Platinum trophy. (46 trophies total) :shock:

Anyone pick up Hamsterball? Worth the 10 spot for it?

Edit: but then again this is sony we're talking about. :roll: :lol:[/QUOTE]
