good to see that PS1 classics are being added more often.
wasn't the Fear 2 demo already put on PSN?

Megaton6100d ago

I'm wondering about the FEAR 2 demo too. We did have another one awhile back.

Having an EU PSN account really made this week's US update null and void for me. Wet and DiRT 2 demos both came out last week there. Suppose I might get the Crash Commando DLC. Maybe...

DaTruth6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

Tomb Raider 2, finally!!!! Don't know why I sold this game! This will be awesome on my PSP! Now all I need is Tenchu and I will be set for PS1 classics!

This was what I was asking for in the PS store delayed comments!

The thing I liked about TR2 was that it wasn't ridiculous puzzles that you need the book for every turn. I did the whole game without the manual! And massive gunfights with armed bad guys, not just one every ten minutes like the others.

TR the last rev. was absolutely terrible, I had to pass by EB every other day to solve the puzzles, then they actually had you try and decipher hieroglyphics; That was ridiculous!

morganfell6100d ago

I have to agree. I am anxious for Tenchu to hit. I picked up that last Wii version and I do not know what it was...but it wasn't Tenchu.

Roper3166100d ago

the Fear 2 demo is for the new single player DLC that releases next week not the actual retail game like the other demo was for.

DaTruth6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

I almost bought a 360 just for Tenchu Z, but I heard it wasn't good, and it would be messed up to pay $400 for one game and it's not even good!

Tenchu brought me back to gaming. After the original Sega and NES, I just couldn't afford it anymore after I kicked my rich father to the curb, no amount of money was worth it. I preferred abject poverty over putting up with that guys $hit.

PrimordialSoupBase6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

It's Fear 2: Reborn.

Real Gambler6100d ago

Demo overload!!! Yikes, I want to try 3 of them...

MAR-TYR-DOM6100d ago

OMFG, we finally get to play the SPORTS GAME OF THE YEAR!!!!

I suppose now is a good time if any to try the WET demo.

Also thank goodness the store was updated the moment I got back from classes.

Blaster_Master6100d ago

Dont waste your time Nuri. It really isn't worth even trying.

Myst6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

It isn't? Is it horrific bad control wise or something else?

[edit]
Well now that you both have stated it, you basically just fueled the fire for me to try it lol.

Megaton6100d ago

If you liked Stranglehold you'll like it.

Myst6100d ago

I've never played stranglehold before which is why I'm quite curious as to why they stated it is not worth it. All and all from the videos it looked like it could be fun, so I probably still will try it.

Nitrowolf26100d ago

yes if you liked strangle hold you might like this. Personally it felt like stranglehold, it wasn't really my game.

Myst6100d ago

Certainly an interesting game I can see that it would at least be a guaranteed rental for me at least.

himdeel6100d ago

The demo that is. The presentation is pretty fresh and interesting in you like Q. Tarentino movies. The gameplay could use some work, the same could be said about the graphics. What's sad is I couldn't really recommend it as a rental :/ but I found it interesting.

double_heist6100d ago

Tomb Raider 2 or Sim City 2000? :P

54percent6100d ago

depends, TR2 is a classic, and SC2000 well, I prefer the PC version because the mouse makes your life easier but the PS1 version is ok

JonnyBigBoss6100d ago

This is the first time I've ever downloaded every demo on an update. This week rocks!

Rhezin6100d ago

WHERE THE F!CK IS RESIDENT EVIL 2 DAMMIT! WTF!? SIM CITY WHAT THE SH!T IS THAT AND WHO WANTS TO PLAY IT ANYWAY!? Wheres pixeljunk where's trine DAMMIT! Worst couple of updates these last few weeks. Though the add-on missions for TFU makes me want to buy that game again.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7712d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde19d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy19d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12519d ago (Edited 19d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7720d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga20d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199220d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga20d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman19d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger20d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box20d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion19d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7220d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7520d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit20d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14920d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7720d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
