Playstation Store Updates Only

[funkydan]

Good to see that 'Rollcage' is on the list of upcoming Europe psone games!

Two new things on the JPN store this morning, excuse the vague descriptions.

- A basic looking PSP rhythym button pressing game

- MGS - a look at the history of the character/games by looks of it.

The PSP game is Beats. I picked it up a while back after reading some very good reviews of the game and I've really enjoyed it.

It's exactly what you'd expect from a game like that really but it's nice that you can use your own music.

There's also a free update out for the people that bought PAIN.

Tomorrow, the 19th of June we are releasing our next free update to PAIN. This will be a two-week process where each week we release new features and content to PAIN. This is a two-week process because we are perfecting our content delivery process. We have always had this goal with PAIN that we should be able to move faster with our content delivery than most games. If you are a normal PAIN blog reader you might laugh at that comment. They have been waiting for months for us to pick up the pace. Some of them were wondering where I?ve been lately.

While we are not completely done with this exercise I believe we have come a long way in making sure that the PAIN content delivery process is ironed out. In the coming months you will see new modes, characters, environments, and content options that everyone has been asking (or demanding) since we released in November (in the US). The great part about all of our future work is that it is worldwide. If I knew it was going to be this hard I would have shut my face before making such bold comments.

Oh well.. at least I am finally makin good right? Right?!

So what?s in the 6-19 update then? Here you go?

• Jukebox Play ? Now you can play your own tunes inside of PAIN. If you have some time go back to my previous blog posts and you will see where you users took us to task about including this option. So it?s DONE.
• New Downtown Layouts ? We have new configurations for downtown. Demolition and Block Party. Go to the trophy room after your update and you will see how to unlock these areas. You can also play these areas in HORSE now too.
• Multiple Character Selection ? Many of our players wanted to play two player games with different characters. So there you go.
• Logo Skip ? Now you don?t have to wait for the logo sequence to get right to the game.

The next PAIN update will happen a week later? This will include?

• Nigel ? A nod goes out to Sony Europe for helping us make a hoodlum the right way. Nigel will be available for download.
• Platinum Club ? If you are awesome at PAIN and earned all your Platinum medals then you will get brand new layouts for Spank The Monkey, Mime Toss and Fun with Explosives. You even have an exclusive leader board. Now that?s elite. If you are in the Platinum Club trust me? you have skillz.

Nothing that grabs me by the wotsits to be honest.

It's good to see that SquareEnix are on board with a couple of games.

Think I read on Kotaku that they're releasing 12 in total.

Was there ever an official statement about the **** PS1/PSN support in the west? There's loads of games on the JPN store that I'd love to try, but don't want to play in Japanese.

[SuperBeatBoy]

The Japanese gardening game is probably the "highlight", shame there is no demo of it.

[arcnas]

No the Pixies album on rockband is the highlight as long as you own the game of course. i cant wait for the US update to get hold of the album.

[Number45]

I really hope that gardening game sees release in the US.

The more I think about it at the moment, the more I realise I'm going to have to cross regions - UK for Dark Mist, JPN for certain PS1 games etc.
