PAL PlayStation Store Update: Leipzig Leipzig Leipzig
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 6:30 PM on August 22, 2008
Good news, Europeans (and antipodeans)! Because it's the Leipzig Games Convention, and because Leipzig's in Europe, and because you've all been very, very good, this week's PlayStation Store update is almost exactly the same as the North American one. And the North American one was stacked. You get Ratchet & Clank, you get Kratos, you get DragonForce, you even get the PSP version of Pirates! as a downloadable title. So no complaining this week, OK?

So uhm, why no themes updates? I'd actually like the inFamous theme for instance to be available.

@Daft: Yeah, pretty much the same feeling here. It's not all it's cracked up to be, that's for sure. I might still pick it up tho, but not as excited about it as I was.
Biggest let down was probably no dismemberment. With corpses fading instantaneously it feels like this is a bit too toned down for my liking.

@Arleas:
who knows? it just causes people to make multiple psn ids. scea and scee need to sync up a little better. but than again, different regions = different pipelines to get stuff to the end user.

Force Unleshed was a let down. Not sure if I'll pick it up now.

Force Unleashed goodness.
Why can't every Euro PSN update be the same as the US one?

@TetsuBo: Exactly, what my impression was. I will pick it up, just for the sake of the force destructions.
But maybe I'll wait for a PC Version and until someone modded it, so that at least the body's don't disappear in an instant.
T Rating my bottom, Lucasarts. This is stupid. A game about the rage and destruction of the Dark Force and you make a Kids game out of it?
The rest feels similar to Jedi Knight without the other weapons and just cranked up graphics and physics wise for this generation.
Pure Lightsaber/Force Jedi Knight, toned down to fit the T...
It will disappoint many customers and it will joy some kids.

Shame that R&C couldn't reflect the price parity that Eden had, but I don't think that anyone was expecting it to either.

Yes yes yes, it's nice and all that Sony are giving us new shit... But what about all the old shit we haven't got? SCIV pack? Also, what about the CE content we don't get? I'm starting to wish I bought the 360 version, wouldn't mind buying another arcade stick. (Speaking of Microsoft. MvC2 BC! What's up with that? Fix it already! I want my Mahvel baybee! Don't make me buy another Dreamcast)
Okay, I'm done...

I just refuse to download ratchet with an extra gig of languages that ill never use. Disc based it is for me - when ever it final hits shelf's, despite my urges.

I destroyed so many controllers through relentless button bashing on that back in the day... I dare say I'm tempted to destroy some more!

@tylerstyle:
The odd thing is, dismemberment shouldn't even be reason enough to bump up the rating, I mean look at Jedi Outcast and Academy, both allowed for it on some level. On top of that, the whole sith theme should've incorporated more limb severance... I guess they didn't want to have to worry about a field littered with arms and legs, aside from the more GoW like style of play in terms of how enemies disappear after death. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it for the sheer number of fun things that could be done, though not to say it couldn't have used some tightening.

I thought the kratos everybody golf character was a practical joke...I guess not. Oh and look, they're releasing another fatal inertia video...like someone is going to buy that game...give it up...it's trash. And what does the Bionic commando LUNCH trailer include...I'm kind of hungry right now.

@Arleas: @tsukasa1288: Part of it has to do with how Sony is compartmentalized and each division acts as a separate company.
It seems really silly because it would be in the company's interest to operate much more fluidly and less rigidly.

The hell's highway videos were interesting. I like the fact that they are focusing the game on a mission the allies failed in. I hope the storytelling turns out as well as they are hyping it.
But I see a lot of my upcoming WWII shooter time being dominated by World At War. I can't wait for some flamethrower fun!

My Star Wars Force Unleashed Impressions.
After playing the demo my impressions are as follows: The graphics are "alright". Characters look good, everything else not so much. The reflections are TERRIBLE. The force powers are fairly fun, though they are extremely overpowered. The lockon sucks, so when you are trying to lock on an enemy it grabs onto a damn barrel or something else stupid. I do like how you can push and pull parts of the environment in realistic ways, I just wish it was used more. The saber fighting is HORRIBLE, you get one button for slashing and that is it. I'm sure they decided to focus on the force powers but most Star Wars fans wanna do some light-saber combat too. If you are looking for a replacement to Jedi Knight look elsewhere, because the saber combat does not come even close to Jedi Knight standards.
Of everything my biggest complaint would be the feel of the character. The run feels stiff and the controls just don't feel fluid in the way a Jedi should be. Feels like I am a Jedi-robot.
Overall, I would give it a 6/10 based on the demo. It is fun for a bit, but I would definitely not buy it.
