So I see Alundra is on the Japanese Playstation Store. Has anyone played this?

Alundra is one of the best action RPG's ever. It'll be interesting to see if it ever gets released in the US. Working Designs published it here and they don't exist anymore.

I dunno if you're reading this vic ireland, but would it be possible to get arc the lad on PSN in the US now that WD is kaput? or is the decision completely and totally up to sony?
vireland said:
It's possible because the US content rights are still held here. Sony would have to re-translate Arc I-III them or try to get the rights to the US content. Given that they strangled a company I worked 15 years to build, I'm not in any hurry to talk to them about the PS1 stuff we did on PSN.
 
what's with the fat princess is coming tomorrow? I don't think we even got a confirmation of release date. The last date I heard was late June.
 
Ploid 3.0 said:
What did Sony do to WD?



Way to crush my dreams.

I just don't want people to get mad when the update comes and there is no fat princess.

There might be some info in wiki about what Sony did to WD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_designs

That is the only thing I could find in the wiki.

Victor Ireland has often stated that the company's demise was not due to the packaging, but rather it was because Sony insisted that games they deemed "inferior" should be sold at a discount price, or bundled together.

Hah man, I really should have subscribed to Qore. Looks more than worth it for all the free stuff, not just demos.

Qore more than paid for itself with all the free stuff we got, I'm def renewing my sub :)
 
Dante said:

They've hinted that subscribers might get a discount on a new subscription. So i'm gonna hold out to see if they do that before I renew my subscription.

Since more RPG's are hitting PSN, hopefully Grandia isn't too far away. Sony published it in the US, so there shouldn't be any issues there.
 
please please please fat princess!

Any europeans up for a trade if it only comes out in EU? Ill be the best FP teammate you ever had! :-D
 
New Home space in Europe today: Everybody's Golf with game launch from Home. (they really need to release this game digitally on PSN.

Free LBP costume this week (only) Druid, in celebration of summer solstice, which is celebrated big-time here in Sweden, almost more than Christmas.

Final Fantasy VII one week, Metal Gear Solid the next. It's like my young teenager years again!

Good times, man, good times.

Hey. Stop making me feel old, I was in college then :(
 
Qruton (Numblast for the PAL folk) is up for both PS3 and PSP on JP Store for 1000Y each. I bought the former. There is also new livery for MotorStorm 2 on there as well as a free costume for LBP. And I think some PSP Musou stuff.

I can understand being upset, but it's really a shame that he's going to be that angry about it at the expense of the fans. They put out some very nice packages in small quantities that are now rather valuable on the secondary market and he'd rather let us fight it out gouging each other where he won't make a dime than cut a deal with Sony and not only let people get access to the games, but make some profit himself on pre-existing work.

When Mommy and Daddy fight it's often us kids who suffer.

That said it is interesting that the Lunar remake is coming out on PSP. Sadly, while it looks awesome, it's coming to PSP and not PSN so I'll probably end up missing out on it.

Holy shit! If they charged for it, I'd instantly buy it! :lol Beard+Robe = AWESOME :lol :lol

Not only does Wild Arms 2 need to be added to the ESRB list, but it needs to remove Resident Evil, Final Fantasy VII, and, assuming it really does come out this week, Metal Gear Solid.
 
I know that WA2 was developed by Contrail (Alundra 2...), but is it any good ? I tried it for a few minutes but I've never got far into it.

Some of the new features of WA3 were actually taken from the second one (the "!" thing when an encounter occurs, the flee gauge...).

Is it as good as the first one ?
 
Great banner :lol I'm totally getting MGS and FFVII as well, as I couldn't buy it before. Actually, I'm going to buy it right now.

Danielsan said:
Something tells me the Motorstorm DLC will be out this week or otherwise the next.
They've already updated the trophies.

That could mean anytime within the next four weeks. It'll be soon though.

It's generally seen as being better than the original.
