Gamasutra: "The new PlayStation Store rolled out in select regions yesterday across PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, with a clear focus on giving other entertainment outlets such as film and TV as much attention as video game downloads."
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.
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.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
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.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
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.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
So what?
The new store looks great, with a slick interface and easier navigation. Clearly Sony has worked hard to make it as user friendly as possible and has promised to change things in accordance with user needs and requests. I can't see what more myself or anyone else could ask for.
I love the new 'metro-esque' design too. It brings the offerings to life with some very nice parallax scrolling effects and relevant backdrop artwork. One thing I loved above all else though was the fact everything pertaining to a particular games was in one place, making DLC, Themes, deals and Avatars easily accessible. All in all a fluid and rewarding experience, and one I'm sure to enjoy more than the old store, where finding things became something of a lottery.
I wasn't too keen on the new search function when I saw it in videos, but after my short but sweet hands on with it, I think it's actually better and quicker than the search before.
It is a pity that it had teething problems, but I'm sure these little hiccups will be ironed out quickly. Loading times will improve once everyone has downloaded it and cached most of the frequently accessed pages and features.
We can only speculate on what it will eventually offer over time, but with the acquisition of Gaikai and the store being more browser based, one can only assume that Gaikai will feature more in the future. Perhaps demos could be streamed real time instead of having to download them and I'd suggest the 12GB PS3 is an indication that this is a big possibility.
Full PC games? You never know.
Good work Sony. Now kindly make sure the XMB stays as far away from ps4 as possible
Some ppl are saying that this PSN revamp looks similar to the 360's Dashboard. Is this the case?
It definitely looks more engaging, more streamlined in my opinion.
Get off it.. Its just the store & its not bad.. They had to modernize its interface to make ppl more interested in buying content.. Its a business strategy that all companies use to make money... Apple set a trend that MANY ppl had to follow.. I like the new store look but hey, to each his own
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
