Echochrome For PS3/PSP Labelled "Racist"

Ripten writes:

"The mind-twisting puzzle game Echochrome made its way to Play.com Live, available on the same unit as Hot Shots Golf 5. Recently released in Japan, I was able to get my hands on some of the latter levels in the game.

As the difficulty ramped up, a mini crowd built around me. With them in awe of my genius (read; luck) I wasn't quite expecting the opinion I overheard."

decapitator5880d ago

How the hell is this racist again ? *Sigh*

Spinner5880d ago

Those damn Japanese white-supremacists!

meepmoopmeep5880d ago (Edited 5880d ago )

^^

anyway,

the author has serious issues if he can see racism in this game

Violater5880d ago (Edited 5880d ago )

Looks like a site looking for hits.
Must be the slow news period towards E3.
We should prep ourselves for even worst submissions than this.

Ohh and the guy who made the comment must not have played a lot of Dos computer games.

No one complains when we kill aliens, who speaks out on behalf of the aliens, It's just prejudice I tell you.

M0KILLaU5880d ago

You didn't read the article did you? the author herd someone say "this game is kinda racist".

BrianC62345880d ago

I think the guy who said the game is racist is a racist himself. Or is just dumb. Some people just need to get a life already. If you do a game in black and white of course it could look racist. Everything can look racist if you spend too much time looking for it.

XBOX 3605880d ago

You'd have to be a racist to see racism in this game.

meepmoopmeep5880d ago

my bad. i didn't read the article. i retract my last comment and redirect it to the idiot he heard mentioning it.

Sayai jin5880d ago

I agree, I think this is someone who wants to see what is simply not there. These articles are getting old and tiresome.

But for those who make light of real racism have not been a victim of it themselves.

yesah5880d ago (Edited 5880d ago )

anyone know when echocrome is to be released for the U.S.?

and on the article, it was probably some guy desperate for conversation.

spec_ops_comm5880d ago

So when some 'young gentlemen' (read: kid) watching a demo proclaims that it's racist, all of a sudden, the game is officially shortlisted as a 'racist' game?

What?!?! It's just some little kid trying to be funny!... How the hell did this story even get published??

Sayai jin5880d ago

You comments need to go into the other zone ->

decapitator5880d ago

Agreed. This is utterly bullsh1t. Does everything gaming has to be about racism ? First it was Uncharted, Resident Evil and now this ?

This sh1t has got to stop.

RealityCheck5880d ago (Edited 5880d ago )

Wow, when you go down to this level of interpretation every Rorschach inkblot test could be interpreted with racism. I think it is more telling about the state of mind of the people making those far-fetched interpretations.

Sevir045880d ago

as a sublime attemp at being racist. and even the new marketing for the PSP when the new ceramic white came out, either way these misconceptions tend to happen. it's really only racially insecure people who get offended by small things who inturn are racist that allow this misconceptions get the best of them...

Uncharted and Resident evil are not racist it's just a game with a story that pits you against another culture for a mode of survival in finding out the truth of some thing gone terribly wrong, if people acnt understand such a thing they should really just keep the hell out of the video game industry and look at the blatant racism that happens in the present day, while not as over the top and not occoring as much as it was in the past.

I think pianos are racist, Just look How the white keys prevent the black ones from grouping up.

heyheyhey5880d ago

yeah it's a tough world

the white buttons on my TV remote outnumber and surround the black ones

i see this kind of opression everywhere- it just makes you wonder what kind of horrible place we live in

sometimes i just wanna pick up the 9mm and, and......

I cant wait to see wut they label Resident Evil 5

my supermarket is racist- there's more white bread than brown bread

perhaps i should sue

Mine is racist too! It has way more white milk than chocolate milk! Sick SOB’s!

Five Digital PlayStation Games You Need to Play Before they Are Gone

Father__Merrin1113d ago

Some of these digi titles need to be converted to run on ps5 games like the last guy will be gone now

PitbullMonster1113d ago

You can still play The last guy on PSNow.

PitbullMonster1113d ago

Btw. Same goes to Echochrome.

Mulando1113d ago

In bad 720p streaming quality + we don't know how long Sony will allow PS3 titles on PSNow.
After all (and as far as it is known) they still use PS3 hardware for PS3 games. I really hope they use an emulator nowadays, but I don't think so.

Teflon021112d ago

Mulando don't know if you've used Now but games like that run fantastic lol. Playing Locoroco remastered looks damn near exactly the same as downloading. I know because I've played on my PC streamed plenty of times and you don't get a single artifact or feel delay. It really just depends on the title. Those ones are fine

cammers19951113d ago

This is really sad that the store is closing. Fuck Jim Ryan.

LiViNgLeGaCY1113d ago

Seriously. He needs to go ASAP.

Viking_mo1113d ago

The sheer audacity for him to say no one plays old games. What an idiot

Mr Logic1112d ago

Or...he's correct. They have telemetry, they can see how often people play old games. You people need to understand that if you go on N4G, reddit, FB groups, etc. to talk about games or keep up with games, then you are the hardcore of the hardcore and you makeup a tiny, TINY portion of the gaming public.

None of that is to say that I agree with taking down the stores or support Sony not doing BC for PS1-3.

343_Guilty_Spark1112d ago (Edited 1112d ago )

But N4G PS gamers says people don't...only new exclusives matter

senorfartcushion1113d ago

Jim Ryan and Herman Hulst sounds like The Death Twins.

Snookies121113d ago

I really wish we got a Tokyo Jungle sequel with a bit more budget to it. That game was so unique.

Abash2890d ago (Edited 2890d ago )

Awesome. Really enjoyed the game when I played the 4 day trial this passed weekend for free on Xbox Live, great that Sony is giving the full game with PS+. Also interested in Gone Home, very good month

Pogmathoin2890d ago

Good to see NBA there, my son got the basketball bug with the play offs... Even though the Raptors were beaten by the officials and some team called Cleveland, he was still asking if he could stay up and watch the game last night.... i will surprise him with this.... finally get him off FIFA.....

freshslicepizza2890d ago

Good to see they are finally listening and are adding retail boxed games and not relying on just indie titles.

Kingthrash3602890d ago

They've released their share of boxed retail games...stop being a hater all the time bro.

nX2889d ago

Wow despite the recent resurgence in fanboytrolls moldybread successfully manages to keep his spot as most annoying contributor on N4G, I can't help but shake my head whenever I read his comments.

On topic, NBA was a really good choice for this month, even worth playing if you don't like Basketball.

remixx1162889d ago

@moldy

No matter where you are or what the articles about you stand manage to fling heat.

You are the definition of a hater....

Pogmathoin2889d ago

Ah lads, let it go, we are all guilty of this at times, rage builds....

freshslicepizza2889d ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

81 ps4 games offered. how many were retail $60 games at one time? so why target me for being right and we all know ps4 owners and even the media have complained about how they are mostly indie games. it's time to celebrate, not get mad for speaking the truth.

bradleejones2889d ago

@ kingthrash Not often enough. Coming from primarily a PS fan. (I just can't stop playing Mario, Zelda, Streets of Rage, etc!)

Ashlen2889d ago

Personally I think Siren is the best game, it's really unique. It's the kind of niche game I really go for.

Couldnt care less about NBA2k16 and Gone Home but am looking forward to play Siren and Echodrome

Kingthrash3602890d ago

Funny.
Sony hasn't been giving out many AAA games....people rag on them....
Sony gives out a AAA game that's only 7 months old...you could care less.

nitus102889d ago

I have never been that interested in sports games but from what I can gather NBA2k16 is really good game for those who like the genres. Good one Sony.

I will give "Gone Home" a play though since I do like Action/Adventure however, this game is classified as Adventure so that should be interesting. As for "Siren" on the PS3 and "Echochrome" (actually my wife may like that as well) on the PS4 -- give me a break there are only so many hours one can allocate to gaming and I have not even finished "Zombi" not to mention the other games I have. 😂

Sigh! -- Oh well back to Bloodborne. 😉

nyctophilia132890d ago

Great month! 2K6 is really surprising! Doesn't get more AAA than that.

RiPPn2889d ago

They gave a full game last month also.. a great game at that.. Tropico 5.

YinYangGaming2890d ago (Edited 2890d ago )

Gone Home is a really quick game and completed in a few hours but NBA 2k16 is a great pick up and makes it a good month

Kemo_Spear2890d ago

Welp, it is a HELL of a lot better than Goat Simulator.

eddieistheillest2890d ago

Goat simulator is actually awesome .

kneon2890d ago

I have so little interest in sports games that I would actually prefer Goat Simulator.

2890d ago
Eidolon2890d ago

Is it weird that I'd rather have Goat Simulator?

Concertoine2890d ago

Goat simulator > Walking sim

Siren is a great game though, one of my fav's.

nX2889d ago (Edited 2889d ago )

Even if you don't like Basketball NBA2k16 is a great game, especially with some friends.
On the other hand Goat Simulator might be fun for a few minutes but believe me, you'll quickly feel stupid for enjoying this kind of entertainment. Though I guess it would be a better game for PS+ than Gone Home.

YinYangGaming2889d ago

It's a 2 hour game though, at least with Goat Simulator it's a sandbox that's quite frequenty updates with new DLC etc.

2889d ago
XanderZane2889d ago

I heard Goat Simulator was actually pretty good. I have to give it a try. NBA 2K16 is good (I already own it for my XB1). If I didn't, I'd probably get the PS4 version.

Duoma2889d ago

Id prefer goat simulator myself. None of my friends care about sports games so the playing with your friends part/argument is invalid to me as far as that decision goes.

game4funz2889d ago

Have you played goat simulator?

IamTylerDurden12890d ago

2K16 is spectacular.

The ultimate team mode and rpg-like (Spike Lee directed) my career mode give dozens if not hundreds of hours of entertainment. Even if u are not a BB fan the my career mode is enjoyable. It has interactive cutscenes and rpg elements, u create your own character, it has multiple story paths with different outcomes. It's a lot of fun.

N82890d ago

I love 2k but that spike Lee shit is corny. Worst part of the game for me.

Kingthrash3602890d ago

2k is coo...but spike Lee messed ot up...so much so made a YouTube video reviewing why it was so wrong and so bad and didn't make any since. After the story ends it's a great game tho.

The7Reaper2890d ago

Spike Lee is a racist piece of trash he pretty much did more bad for the my career than good.

AaliyahCollins2889d ago

My best friend's ex-wife makes $95/hr on the laptop. She has been unemployed for six months but last month her income with big fat bonus was over $14k just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more on this site.... www.earnmore9.com

Null19802890d ago (Edited 2890d ago )

They were all announced. Echochrome PS3, Siren Ep 1-12 PS3, God of War Chains of Olympus Vita, Little Deviants Vita. It's on the official PS Blog.

Edit: Thanks for changing your link & adding the tags. This original posting linked a different site "Thisgengaming" with only the 2 titles listed, saying the other games were unknown. You can check it in their edit history.

PSN_ZeroOnyx2890d ago

Thisgengaming is worthless, about as needed as a hole in the head.

OT... Told my wife a couple weeks ago I should get a basketball game bc I used play them a lot. And gone home looks like a few hours of fun.

Null19802890d ago (Edited 2890d ago )

Yea, I'm real happy with this lineup. I haven't been into basketball much in a long time, but looking forward to trying one for the first time in years. Especially after seeing how highly rated 2K16 was. All of these games I'll give a go. :)

I can't say much for Thisgengaming. Not real familiar, other than a few articles I've seen posted here and there. I just know the article was already outdated when I checked PS Blog and posted the above comment.

nX2889d ago (Edited 2889d ago )

Thisgengaming is hopefully pretty close to the next website being banned from N4G. Never before have I seen so much stupid clickbait like on there.

Kemo_Spear2890d ago

Thisgengaming has no clue as to what the hell they are doing. They just run with crap with out doing their research (you know, like what REAL journalists are suppose to do).

Thisgengaming2890d ago

When we posted the story there was just the video out that only confirmed the two games at the time. The PS Blog post was posted after we posted our article.

Null19802890d ago (Edited 2890d ago )

I literally commented within a few minutes of you posting the article, the one stating NBA 2K16 and Gone Home, with the rest unknown. (It was at the top of the pending list for Approval) The PS Blog with all 6 titles was already up at that time. You couldn't double check PS Blog before hitting "enter" to submit? (Maybe they posted it while you were typing it up?) Talk about trigger happy! lol

I'm not going to call you worthless like the person above. I don't know you. I'm just saying in this instance, you really jumped the gun.

Eonjay2890d ago

Really solid month. Even down to God of War... which is an interesting choice before E3... but I digress.
Great month!

pyroxxx2890d ago (Edited 2890d ago )

Well even though I don't care about basketball much,.. Very happy to try it out,.. Apparently 2K16 is amazing.

Gone home is cool and all,.. (really wanted to play trough it,.. but would never buy it for 20 or whatever used to be the price on steam,..)

So I am pretty content with the offering. Wish I had PS3 still,.. Entire Siren is awesome as well.
