PlayStation Store Update: Zombie Jetpacks
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 1:20 PM on August 29, 2008
While this week's North American PlayStation Store update isn't as rich in content as last week's, it's still an excellent offering. If only because, when you browse down the list of available items, you see the text "You are the chosen one, a zombie hero from the Himalayan mountains, and it is up to you to rescue the last survivors on Earth by leading them to safety through zombie-infested streets". You're on the right track with this whole Last Guy thing, Sony. Also available today is Warhawk's latest update - the one that brings the hot jetpack action - with the rest of the week's items after the jump.

@peace4myheart: I downloaded the 1080p trailer. Good stuff, definitely going to check it out at the theaters as I really liked Casino Royale.
-----------------------------------------
Got the Warhawk expansion, Episode 5 of Afro Samurai. Justice, "Where God has failed, Man must become God himself..." Awesome character, freaky with the third arm but awesome. Just spent the last hour putting together a custom playlist for Warhawk. Got some great shit in there, Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, Perfect Circle, Run DMC, Wu-Tang, Jimi Hendrix, Issac Hayes, Lords of the Underground, The Roots, Eric B and Rakim, Showdown, Nine Inch Nails, Stemage...
Thank goodness this is a holiday weekend coming up time to get online and get some!

As much as I love Warhawk, and I mean REALLY love Warhawk, the expansions seemed to have simply fractured the community. It may be different if the official servers all ran the updates, but they don't.
That, and I'm buying Mercenaries on Sunday. Kind of hard to justify buying that AND an $8 update.

I think I'll just continue holding off on buying the expansion content for Warhawk. If it all later becomes cheaper at ohh...half the price, I'd buy it, but I can't really justify paying 16 bucks just for it.

The only thing I care about this week is the Pain trailer. I enjoyed The Last Man demo and would probably enjoy the full game, but... I've got no cash for games until LittleBigPlanet.
Oh and Locksley? Really?
Like... REALLY? Well... whatever...

Purchased not only The Last Guy, but also purchased all three expansions for Warhawk. I kept putting them off for some reason even though I love the game, but I just couldn't turn down all three for that price. That was a smart move. If it worked on me, it's got to work on others too. Kudos to you Incognito and Sony.
The Last Guy? It's weird but I definitely am getting a Pac Man vibe from it. I guess it is the avoiding enemies in what is essentially a giant maze. Love it so far though, another worthy purchase in the PSN's growing stable of must haves.

Same thing here, waiting for a few reviews of The last guy and also waiting to see whether the European version will have more/different levels/cities. I hope the PAL release of it won't take forever.

Downloaded NHL 09. Lots of fun, but not much different than last year's iteratcion. Awaiting more reviews for The Last Guy before buying it. The demo was pretty fun, but I'm not sure it's $10 fun.

I hate the warhawk expansions. I think theyre a total ripoff considering we payed 40 dollars for the game and it only came with 5 levels and no single player. Where as halo 3 came with single player and 11 maps. Plus map packs cost 10 dollars for 3 and one map was actually free.

Did not care for The Last Guy demo at all, and will not be wasting $10 on the full version. I couldn't even see where the hell I was going half the time. And I thought Pixeljunk Monsters was hard to see!
Definitely in it for the SC4 demo, and maybe the Warhawk booster combo pack.

The Last Guy is awesome. It's really one of those "weird Japanese games" we don't really see so much of anymore.

I agree with some posters here that the Warhawk expansions are a bit costly and that they've fractured the gaming community (that's the big issue for me), but man -- they're so goddamned fun. Especially this new jetpack bad boy.
But Incognito/Sony needs to do a free giveaway for one or more of the packs or something...

@Jtn: But lets be honest the bluetooth headset was thrown in just to justify the 60 dollar price tag of a physical copy of the game on blu ray. I think most people bought the game off psn anyways.

How come the Last Guy is $10 here, but 2000 yen in Japan. After I already paid 500 yen for the demo? Isn't there a way to get a discount?

Could anyone who bought The Last Guy tell me if they included an option where you enter your own address and it makes a map? It's kind of a deal-breaker for me if they don't.

@seamonkey420: Yeah early on it was pretty awful. Just getting into games was hard as hell and i ended up losing thousands of points that were there one second and gone the next. To make it worst dylan jobe stayed mum the whole time. We had no idea if they were ever going to fix it. So i cant even use loyalty as a reason to pay for the expansions.
Yeah what did happen to the dogfight servers...

Posted 3:29 PM 29/8/08
yea, i can't justify paying the money for the warhawk expansions..
i was part of the early buyers; when servers would crash, stats woulnd't update, and wtf happened to dogfight servers?? seriously, i love to dogfight..
yea, the whole nickel and diming of warhawk users is annoying. i spend WAY TOO much money on the psn store already why can't you give us a few free add-ons for warhawk?
or at least setup a few more official dogfight servers..

In my above comment I meant to say "It also created worries for me that the demo may be crap, judging by how the trailer somehow managed to make the game look bad even while showing some of the best parts of the game"

The motorstorm trailer sucks...it cuts out of every shot too fast so you can never get a clear look at what the game will look like when you're playing it. It also created worries for me that the demo may be crap, if this trailer still managed to make the game look bad while showing some of the games best parts.

u guys that dont want to buy the booster packs for warhawk are missing out. Trust me the 17.12 dollars booster pack is worth it. the jetpack completely changes the gameplay. i to be ok in warhawk now i'm just kicking butt on the servers.

@PapaBear434: Jetpacks are fun. Really fun. It adds such a interesting mechanic to gameplay.
When I first picked one up I simply floated around a bit. Then I started playing around and found that I could use the jetpack to speed run! And then I noticed that people were hovering off the map and having ariel battles over the ocean! And then.. well you get the point. The new level looks nifty but I haven't really got to play on it yet.
I can see what you mean about "fracturing" the community but I run into so many full servers that I don't think this has been a problem. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of people with all or less of the updates. What I would like to see is a server that combines all of the updates. All of the levels. All of the vehicles. Everything.
I love this game. Sadly, I think I'm like the only active memeber of KoUn now. :(

*cue sad violin music*
I am sorry, i should not have said that.
:p
anyways, i actually really liked the last guy demo.. i'm not sure if i'm going to buy the game though. not right away anyways. i feel like shelling out 10 bucks right now for ANOTHER game is too much money spent on games in the last few days. lol. i just bought N+ for psp, and the Super Stardust expansion pack, and some other stuff. i dunno.
but i did like the game. its combines classic arcade gaming with a modern twist.. not to mention zombie monsters.

Yeah, here I was the founder of the damn clan, and I quit because I was sick of trying to organize no one to do nothing. Then I find out that if I held on just a little longer to the leadership role, I could have got two really nice trophies out of it.

@PapaBear434: Why don't you start it up again? I play Warhawk almost nightly, and am always looking for people to play with, since my friends list sucks.
I bought Omega Dawn and played it twice, maybe three times at most. Until they can work it out so everyone has the boosters, I think I'll hold off.
If it's not an official server or someone I know, I really don't want to play it. The last time I played a hosted game, the guy allowed split screen with full friendly fire, so someone was playing both teams, and kept grabbing the other teams flag and holding on to it. Then he goes and kills me when I got it and was on my way back to get the capture. Needless to say I quit that game in a foul mood.

They sound like they were cheating for rank. Happens in every online game, unfortunately.
As far as the clan goes, I started it up a while ago, but it never really did anything. I didn't disband it, but instead turned the reins over to AstroFox. Give him a message if you want in.

As for Locksley being on Rock Band this week, sure, I'd like Rush quicker and sooner (considering they said it would come out at a certain time) but I've actually found that bands I have never heard of are still fun to play on Rock Band. Sometimes there are songs I'm a big fan of that I don't enjoy playing, and some songs I don't like that are fun to play. I think it's the note charts that can make a song fun just as much as the song itself.

Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the update for warhawk (fallen star)? After installing it my copy just keeps saying "Failed during start up procedure". I've re-downloaded Warhawk and removed the updates, but the problems persists.
Any ideas of what else i can try?

The Locksley dlc is even more unusual because a) it appeared without having been announced beforehand by HMX and b) it hit the PS3 before the 360 (as far as I know, 360 still has yet to receive it).
