Ape Quest took everyone by surprise when it stealthily launched on the PLAYSTATION Store. This download-exclusive title is unique in a number of ways. Not only is it one of the few original games for download on the PC Store, it combines RPG elements and mini-games into an experience that's inherent of the Ape franchise. The purchase model for the game sets a new standard that other games may follow in the future: a free demo can be further expanded by the purchase of one of three official expansions. Each content pack can be purchased for $10 each, or a bundle can be purchased at a budget price of $20.
The Hong Kong PlayStation Store website has a habit of featuring future LittleBigPlanet DLC before it is announced. The upcoming January 2009 DLC for LittleBigPlanet is no exception.
Now, those in the US had the opportunity to get the Kratos costume via pre-order and PSLS is not sure if we'd get the Pipo Monkey from the Ape Escape series... but they are indeed listed on the official PlayStation website for release on January 26, 2009.
Anyone else hopeful to get a God of War level pack similar to the MGS pack?
UPDATE: Naughty Dog hinted on their Twitter feed at possible upcoming Uncharted-themed DLC for LittleBigPlanet:
Jak and Daxter is #7 in LittleBIGPlanetoid's "Top 20 LittleBigPlanet Level Kit Predictions" Where's Drake or UNCHARTED?
I thought people would be more interested... I guess I should have formatted the submission/article better. This is all pretty big news - though rumors. The HK store stuff is fresh!
There are only so many times I can spend money on Overpriced DLC.
Funny the LBP DLC is all overpriced except the MGS4 level pack, those could have been even higher priced and would have been still worth it.
I bought the level pack and enjoyed it. I thought that it was fun. Most of it was easy training and none of it was the high quality of the original levels.
The paint gun is worth 5.99 in itself, but I did expect more for $5.99. They should of included the costumes.
I saw a level today that was giving away stickers to make you look like a bunch of different well known characters for free!!
it was on the first page of the community planet.
Well this is great news! This is one of those developer teams where the consumers (I.e us - the people who play LBP) don't have to keep asking for more things as they do it automatically. Not to mention the fixes they did previously. This game is just awesome and the support it's getting is awesome as well.
wouldn't it be cool if Media Molecule made level packs for classic PS1 Sony Exclusives monthly or so...
"So far since the launch of the new PS Store, European has seen it's fair share of good quality updates. Certainly, the situation appears to be much better than before and SCEE seem to be coming good on their promise that they would 'sort the situation out' by the Summer.
It would be a shame, therefore, to see a lacklustre update this week, wouldn't it?"
the new cars for need for speed?
most importantly have you seen the price?
they are 2pounds each, thats equivalent to $4 just for 1 car, that is such a con.
I think that i might give sarcastic gamer a ring
OK, I am getting really annoyed now.
Where is the Oblivion expansion????
We even had a trailer for it released a couple of months back, but still nothing!
Hopefully the US update will get all those themes. I love free themes, *hint *hint Microsoft.
there is some free themes on 360
but you cant compare the 360 theme and ps3 theme
i mean the 360 theme have 3 photo and theme for the in game xmb
the ps store themes have only one photo and some icons
and i don't mean the user created theme on the web
Although I will agree with you that I like the 360 themes better, I don't want to pay 3 or 4 dollars for them. And the only free ones are usually pretty crappy.
Like the Ratchet and Clank theme. Btw I'd rather take a one picture theme over a 3 picture theme with ads plastered all over it. But what would be cool is if Sony allowed for more then one picture set to wallpaper and allow them to randomly appear.
crck...do you mean like the God of War theme? Or do you mean one that randomly changes while you are already online. Because either way it could make them more appealing.
some of the user generated themes you can get for free online have multiple pictures for backgrounds. This means that every time you turn on ur PS3 you get a different background pic...or everytime you get out of a game back to the xmb, you get a different pic aswell. I've seen some w/up to 10 different backgrounds for the same theme.
@ crck & Beaarthur
The new EoJ themes & the new Lair themes change to a different shot every time the XMB comes up, I'm sure they'll start doing it with more. Some of the EoJ art is nice....if you like the fantasy type stuff. Worth a check...theres always the delete button...
nbnt, I disagreed. Killzone2 theme has multiple images. I use that theme on my US account and was surprised to see a different background from the previous one I was expecting.
but I don't see another sandbox game knocking GTA out of the rotation until Mercs2 is released
I really hoped that the Haze demo will be coming with this update......Oh Well,just have to wait......
were can i get cheats for gta4 on ps3, the cheats i got are too small and i cant find any other website
I've already started messing around with some of the cheats. I just turn the sleep mode on and commence to wreak havoc throughout the town without saving.
I miss the tank though. It doesn't feel the same causing chaos without a tank. Helicopters only do so much.
On topic, I doubt any region will get anything incredible this week considering it will merely be overshadowed by GTA4. When I'm at work all I can think about is getting the kids to sleep and playing some more. Especially now that the online is up.
While patiently awaiting a date for the release of Ape Quest, the site LivePlayPortable publishes a series of new images of RPG Sony whose heroes are small monkeys.
I might just buy it then
