Playstation Store Updates Only

[The Glider]

Just downloading the Uncharted video now & after listening to an interview with Uncharted's Lead Game Designer, Richard Lemarchand on an IGN podcast, I'm getting rather excited about this game. I'm also tempted by Everybody's Golf 2, as I loved the first one & the PSP version, plus waiting to preorder the PAL PS3 version, so this might tide me over.

Everybody's Golf 2 is fun if you're waiting for teh PS3 version.

A word of warning though, on the PS1 the game seem to pick up button preeses quite slowly and it's the same in this download. It didn't ruin the game in any but does take a little extra effort to get your shots right.

Juiced is chavved to the max, very poor demo - and full game I guess.

Save your bandwidth and do your bit for the environment.

Having downloaded it, I'd have to say it is pretty close with Nascar for worst demo on the PSN. Rubbish car handling, horrible framerate issues and chavness everywhere does not a good game make.

Also downloaded that Sega Interactive novel. Seemed much of a muchness to me. I've seen people on other forums say it was scary, but it didn't really seem to be. I think the amount of Japanese is going to make it pretty much impossible to get anything out of the game.

Been on a bit of mission checking out the demos I've missed as once the GT demo comes out it'll most likely be that and Sega Rally until Pro Evo next week and then I can't see much else getting a look in (apart from R&C of course!).

You've made me want to download it now!

Has anybody who downloaded the horse game managed to find any controls which do something apart from beat the skin off the poor animal?

I only seem to be able to do 2 things in it:

1. Whip the crap out of the horses
2. Lose the race...

One of the other buttons mad a sound as if I was spitting at someone but I have no idea what the hell it's doing.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I didn't realise it was an action horse riding game, assumed it was one of those management jobbies.

I'll give it a download later to check it out.

Some of you may want to know that there is a GT5: Prologue demo in the JP Store now.

[ChrisF]

Bet their bandwidth is being HAMMERED right now. 0% here so far... no surprise there

Thanks for the heads up though!

I'm regretting doing it already...

It pretty much went straight to 10% but I think the rest of the planet knows it's there now!!

[ChrisF]

Seems like they still have some bandwidth left... 10% for me now too

[JP]

Just checked and on 26% which seems about perfect to me as I'm in the middle of watching the Rugby that I recorded earlier.

[Jei]

I've just started downloading it and for some reason it's bloody flying for me!

63% complete already (God bless 16meg broadband when it works properly)

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I've got 50% in about half an hour on a 1meg connection.

This is coming down nice and fast for me, more than 30% in well under ten minutes.

Probably won't get to play it until Sunday though.
