Kewl, I think it will be a LBP2 related cos GT5 will already be out, unless they give us something free for it?

LordMarius5714d ago

OMG more reasons to 'Jump in'
As if KZ3 beta wasnt enough :D

-Alpha5714d ago (Edited 5714d ago )

Oh yeah, LBP2 public beta *is* possible.

Media Molecule said that they would pay back the people for delaying the game in the form of a beta, I wish I could find the video but I'm 90% sure that that's what he meant

Spydiggity5714d ago

exactly what i'm thinking. stop "teasing" us with whatever and just give us cross game voice chat FFS!!!

ChineseDemocracy5714d ago

Only reason I'm holding back from PS+ is because I own alot of the discounted/free content offered from the service. But the AC:b & KZ3 betas are pretty tempting, I might reconsider if the features of PS+ are expanded upon.

Corepred45714d ago

sorry guys but don't get your hopes up. for some reason Sony has no clue what cool is. Their games might be awesome but everytime they themselves say something is cool or something it comes out to be wack as hell.

Justin_bristoe5714d ago

kill yourself..and when you rebirth play beyond

SuperStrokey11235713d ago

I would agree with google TV but that will be for everyone not just PS+.

I doubt it will be anything big, the LBP2 beta seems likely at this point.

Sarick5713d ago (Edited 5713d ago )

"Jump in" is a Microsoft slogan for 360. Using that for a PS3 is an oxymoron of slogans.

I think you confused it with "Play Beyond" or that was intentional.

... (sigh)

Anyway, I hope it's something cool like online save backups or cloud services that allow anyone to play locked saves too and from any PS3.

a gt5 demo for the 3 peole that dont buy gt5

NBT915713d ago

LoL I think three is a bit optimistic ;)

maxcer5713d ago

lol this isn't 2001, the racing genre has been in decline since. gt4 only sold half as many units as gt3 and i don't see gt5 selling more than either of them.

sure i'll pick my copy up when it drops but the industry has changed to FPS's and casuals. i hope im wrong but we'll see the sales speak for themselves.

interrergator5713d ago

how bout 15 million ppl who bought the previous game LOL

DarkTower8055713d ago

15 million copies? Lol, no son, Prologue didn't sell that much. And if you try to bring up any PS2 sales you have to remember that # of PS2 units sold vs PS3 units are like night and day.

A rebate for the months leading up to November...j/k. Seriously though, I find that I already own the 'good' freebies and the free games I don't own are crap. With exception to Qore, I haven't found too much personal value in PSN+. I don't really care about a week headstart for demos either.

Anyone else feeling short-changed?

Edit: If I could change only one thing about PSN+, it would be that I get to decide on the freebies OR I get to decide on the games that get discounted.

gaffyh5714d ago

Dunno, you are in the US I assume? Cos I actually got a lot of games that are pretty good in the EU store. Like I didn't have Sam and Max, or Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, meaning it was completely worth buying the subscription for me (I got it last month). Plus, Aero Racer and some of the PS1 games are quite good.

-Alpha5714d ago (Edited 5714d ago )

The thing with PSN+ is that they give you random games that aren't all that great half the time. Eventually they will run out of giving free games and will have to do something else, or slow the process down.

Objectively you get your money's worth in terms of free stuff, but just because it's free doesn't mean you enjoy the things they give you.

Personally, I really want a UI update. New in-game XMB, for example, or the ability to send voice messages.

I wonder if they are giving Cross Chat November, or maybe an LBP2 public beta.

Mr_Bun5714d ago (Edited 5714d ago )

Canada actually, but it's basically the same as the US store. The problem is that the big PSN games offered are ones that I already own and the other games are ones that I will play once and then forget about. I don't get a substitution for games like Wipeout HD so I get less for my subscription than those who never shelled out originally.

I guess if you never purchased anything of the PSN, Plus is a great deal....otherwise, I am still trying to justify having it (other than the KZ3 beta at the end of the month)

Edit:
@ Alpha
I would love X-game chat but I think it would be a d!ck move by Sony to only offer it to Plus members.

-Alpha5714d ago (Edited 5714d ago )

From what I hear it's going to have to be *initiated* by Plus members, and you can invite non-Plus members, which is good.

But basic users can't start a cross chat or run one. There has to be at least one Plus member.

It's the only reason I can see why MS justified their XBL pricing (at the start). Cross Chat takes money to support, and I assume that it's costly to support. I can totally understand, and I even support the idea of Cross Chat being for Plus members. It adds incentive while giving Sony a way to pay for the service.

Now, if Cross Chat were for just Plus members that would be severely limiting for Plus members who have friends that don't have Plus.

Regardless, I find the issue of Plus to be that it lacks features. The free content is only as good as you enjoy it, and there aren't that many good things to give away.

I think they need to add better features or deals:

-Free Netflix, or a reduced price
-Youtube Video App (ability to watch HD, comment, sign-in, etc with a new interface for PS3)
-Google TV
-Cross Chat
-Cleaning up the UI

I'd upgrade for those, but it's Sony Japan that does PSN, and they aren't exactly the best at it.

Sheikh Yerbouti5714d ago (Edited 5714d ago )

I like Plus as a discount club for the Playstaton store with first access to betas - both games and features. I don't want a tiered version like LIVE.

Being the first on a roll out of features would be cool.
I think it is going to be the Netflix app, just like with Hulu though.

xGet_In_There5714d ago

I agree completely. The best thing I got from PSN+ was either Qore or Critter Crunch. Don't get me wrong I think PSN+ is a great idea but let the people who are shelling out money pick what they want. I already had more than half of what was discounted/free. Just not for me. I may renew my subscription when I see some consistent stuff showing up.

Mr_Bun5714d ago

Critter Crunch and Mushroom Wars are the only 2 games that I didn't already own and have played more than once.

YoshiMeetsU5714d ago (Edited 5714d ago )

Yup US Plus is total pants..

Alpha: "or slow the process down. " It's already happening for the US. The last 2 weeks have been non-existent for updates.

xGet_In_There5714d ago

@ Alpha

Yea they will run out of stuff very soon. Also if they give an XMB update and/or Cross Game Chat to ONLY PS+ subscribers I could see a lot of people being upset.

Pennywise5714d ago

KZ3 beta almost had me buying PS+ until I read it is random and not all users will get invited.

I own most of what is offered... the things I dont have that were offered werent bought for a reason: I don't want them.

So far PS+ offers me nothing of value. I barely have enough time to play the games I want to play. No need to stock pile a bunch of games I didn't want to begin with.

Sarick5713d ago

Doesn't the psn+ stuff they give away get disabled if the users cancel it?

This could be a way to keep people paying the service.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

Record of Agarest War 2 announced for PS3

Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5835d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905835d ago (Edited 5835d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5835d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5835d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495835d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5835d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5835d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
