echochrome: no end in sight

Kumi Yuasa from The Playstation blog writes:

"If you haven't already downloaded echochrome (it went live during Thursday's Store update), you've got 56 brain-busting, perspective-spinning puzzles ahead of you. If anyone out there has already managed to clear all the levels, these people are looking for you. Still, you've hardly seen all echochrome has to offer. Aside from *another* 56 levels to be found in the other version of echochrome (both the PS3 and PSP editions contain unique level sets), you can also play the best levels your fellow gamers have created."

"Every level has to have 3 things: a start, pathways, and a goal. The mannequin piece acts as the starting point for the level. You can build pathways with as many gaps, obstacles, and bends as you like. The goal is to reach the echoes, or shadow guides. These are like markers that you have to guide the mannequin to. So you'll need at least one of these. You can place up to four echoes anywhere in the environment, while the fifth and final echo will always appear exactly where you place the mannequin character."

I've tryed this game its ok.
But i started to get bored half way through it.

wolfehound225838d ago

Fun game very tough and can be frustrating at times. Can't beat it for $10.

SaiyanFury5838d ago

I played the demo on my PS3 and loved it. Truly a game that makes you think and adapt. I'm unable to download the full version for some reason that the PSN won't recognize my credit card. I'd love the full version...

ThatArtGuy5838d ago

It took me forever to figure this out, but if your credit card is actually a debit card (funds come straight from your checking account) it will not work. It has to be a true credit card.

thor5838d ago

I use my debit card on the store...?!???!?

MikeGdaGod5838d ago (Edited 5838d ago )

absolutely false information

i have always used my debit card to add funds to my account. i've never used a credit card. you should give sony a call if you're having a problem like that.

calis5838d ago

I'd play this if they friggin released it in Australia.

40cal5838d ago

Makes you think alot. And yes debit cards work on the PSN.

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.

Teflon021113d 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 Logic1113d 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_Spark1113d ago (Edited 1113d 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.

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.

nX2890d 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.

remixx1162890d 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....

Pogmathoin2890d ago

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

freshslicepizza2890d 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.

sAVAge_bEaST2889d ago (Edited 2889d ago )

Siren... terrorizing
great month.

Hoffmann2890d ago

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.

RiPPn2890d 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.

nX2890d ago (Edited 2890d 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.

YinYangGaming2890d 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.

2890d 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.

nX2890d ago (Edited 2890d 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.
