How much is BK Sword going for and will there be a demo?

 

[Kid Marin]

will there be a demo?

Yes: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/12/09/the-drop-week-of-december-10th-2012-new-releases/

No clue about the price.

 

[Tizoc]

Yes: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/12/09/the-drop-week-of-december-10th-2012-new-releases/

Thanks for clearing it up mate, I only skimmed thru the Drop last time I read it XP

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Black Knight Sword looks pretty cool

http://youtu.be/rRo2z7LAujo

I'm surprised i never heard of it.

 

[sakipon]

Any word if that Aabs animals app will be localized? The HK store version is only offered in Japanese so far. Also, I read there's no goals or such. Wonder if it's still worth it for the pet simulator demographic?

 

[ReaperXL7]

Really looking forward to checking out big sky infinity, trailers look insane, but fun.

Black knight sword looks interesting, probably will buy at somepoint for grasshopper.

Looks like the trophies are hard to get: http://www.ps3trophies.org/game/aabs-animals/trophies/

 

[staticneuron]

Hmm. I don't think anything catches my eye in this next update.

Wrestlers

Spoiler

1. negative space in crescent moon on the right.
2. partial pink wrestler on the bottom, off center to the right
3. second piece of debris behind ship on the left.

You're the only person with the Smart As platinum?
You need to post some tips!

Hahaha I guess I am.

Just practice, practice, practice.

Spoiler

I cheated by changing the date to get that one set of trophies. You still have to play the game, but maybe everyone else was too lazy to do it

Big Sky Infinity (free on EU PS+) and Surge (I <3 FuturLab) for me

 

[kassatsu]

Been playing some BKS. Game is odd, in a good way.

It's just free on EU PS+?!

 

[rvy]

I thought the RISING demo was coming out in Japan this week?

 

[Carl]

Not been announced as free for US PS+ so presumably just EU.

Yup, Morgan confirmed on the blog it's not free for US.

Sucks.

I'd prefer a discount anyway, so maybe there will be that?

Possibly, though i wouldn't hold much hope as it wasn't mentioned in the Plus update yesterday

 

[rvy]

Thanks.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I don't want to say it but SCEA always lets me down!!

 

[Tizoc]

WTF, the PSX 3D Samurai Spirits game is on JPN PSN?!
http://www.jp.playstation.com/software/title/jp0576npjj00041_000000000000000001.html

I suddenly feel tempted to get it...600 Yen is like $7.25 though but...grrr....

 

[kassatsu]

Japanese store updates 3 times a week

 

[djplaeskool]

Hell yeah Big Sky.
My Vita is slowly becoming a STG behemoth.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Spyro comes to Europe this week, yeah? I'm really excited for that

 

[xKilltheMx]

Thursday for MGS Rising Demo? Most important thing this week.

 

[Wario64]

Yup, Morgan confirmed on the blog it's not free for US.

Sucks.

Not sure why people got their hopes up in the first place, it was an EU trailer

 

[jayb]

Thursday and not today?

 

[xKilltheMx]

Thursday and not today?

For the Japan store i thought? Thats what people said earlier.

 

[dallow_bg]

Apparently, stuff is coming up via search.

Early update.

 

[jayb]

whoops, I glossed over the previous comments. thanks.

 

[dallow_bg]

Store seems to be updated already actually.
On Vita, and PS3.

At least the PS Plus section is.

 

[kassatsu]

GTA is $15. Yup... nope.

 

[Takao]

At least 7 people have bought Phineas and Ferb PSP. I dunno why SCEA decided to release that of all the EU exclusive SCE PSP games here, lol.

 

[Carl]

GTA is $15. Yup... nope.

Rockstar tax is almost as high as Square Enix tax

Spyro comes to Europe this week, yeah? I'm really excited for that

Oh, forgot about that. Yep, whole PSOne trilogy.

 

[Fersis]

Battlefield 3: Aftermath is up in the US Store.
Downloading ...

 

[Wario64]

Downloading SF4. 7% completed so far, wooo

 

[Canis lupus]

BigSkyInfinity looks great, will download it tomorrow when EU updates.

 

[Fowler]

I don't get how GTA3 and San Andreas are on PSN but not Vice City. That's the one I really want (and I don't want to play it with a touchscreen).

[steveovig]

Why the hell can't they just put out an HD compilation set like we want? I would kill for all five 3D games in one or two sets, and then maybe the 2D ones on PSN at least. Shouldn't this be easy money for them on all fronts?

 

[twinturbo2]

NASCAR The Game 2011 is out in Hong Kong now? When Inside Line just came out?

Damn.

 

[Takao]

Beatshapers 5 in 1 bundle is beastly for $2.99

It would also be easy money for Rockstar to make the iOS re-releases of the GTA games also on Vita, and 3DS but lol.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

Is San Andreas playable with the up scaling on an HDTV. I ask this because I tried playing vice city on my PS2 and HDTV and IMO, it's unplayable because of how blurry it is, the map and all.

 

[Number45]

Man, the layout on the US blog is SO much better than the EU efforts.
