Don't get me wrong I got Qore for the whole year, because I want to be able to access beta's. And I know PSN still gets free online play which is great. But if this is going to be the exact same demo as what's in the July issue of Qore and they only have to wait 2 weeks this does end up sounding like Xbox live gold and silver. And I'm not saying its exactly like gold since we still get to play online for free. But I thought they said in the beginning that subscribers to Qore would be getting exclusive demos that you would not be getting other wise.

I'm glad everyone will be able to play this, but if I'm paying a extra $25 a year unless I get access to a bunch of beta's it doesn't end up sounding like that good of a deal. I'm steal holing out hope, and I can't wait for the Socome beta. I just hope that since were paying for it most months aren't just a bunch of behind the scene stuff.

@rushbd
Agreed and I'm not trying to say its exactly the same. I was just stating that if the demos that become available on Qore get released a few weeks later it will be similar. Qore is only released once a month and I am paying for it. I just don't want every "exclusive" demo to then be released a few weeks later. I mean I can understand in Europe since they do not have access, but in the US it just doesn't seem like Qore is that good then. Thats all I'm saying

That unlike xbox live u are forced to pay just to play online multiplayer games where on PSN it is free all the time. I think qore is a great idea and those who want to try demos or get into betas before anyone else have the option to buy qore for the full year which is still alot cheaper then a year prescription for xbox live or u dont even have to buy the year package and wait on a game u like to do so, or better yet u dont have to buy it at all for those who dont want to buy anything. And plus side to it, those who dont want it early will still have a chance to get into the beta other ways and the demo will eventually come out so u dont lose out on anything really. Its just an option and if u really want to get into a beta for sure with no hassles, I say 2.99 is not even a bad deal at all. I think sony is doing the right thing with qore and that isnt forcing us to buy it if u dont want to. :)

i think it will be the same demo wich is kinda of stupid even though you od get it early
they should exspanded the Qore Demo then

sinncross5789d ago

as long as this hits europe the same time i will be pleased :)

but the qore comment made by wolfehound is very valid.

wolfehound225789d ago (Edited 5789d ago )

Thanks dude believe me I'm a huge Sony fan and gaming fan. And once the beta is active the first issue was a huge hit with me. I do like the behind the scene stuff, but if that ends up being the norm in these issues it definattly isn't worth the 2.99 a month.

Although the one good thing about this is all the PS3 owners outside of the US will be able to enjoy this demo, so I guess in a way it is a good thing.

gnothe15788d ago

i saw a game interview on game trailers an the producers stated that it will be the same demo. it comes out on qore on July 3rd an to everybody on July 17th. i can wait.

No One Makes Anime Games Quite As Well As CyberConnect2

There's nothing quite like flying in DBZ: Kakarot or Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm's battles.

That's also the problem. They are decent but never truly ambitious in challenging the powerhouses of any genre whether RPG or fighting.

Outlawzz1039d ago

Completely agree. Their games never quite reach that high point. They have potential but it's like they hold themselves back.

melons1039d ago

They do seem to have taken a safe route with the new Demon Slayer game though, which has no demons to slay (???) and is very similar to Ninja Storm.

spartan112g1039d ago

I mean, ArcSys makes better anime games in Guilty Gear and FighterZ, so this argument fell on its face quick.

Pepsi_Man30001039d ago

Those are both fighting games based off of an anime. Naruto storm, my hero one justice, that shitty one punch man game, etc are the games the writer is talking about Im sure

lucian2291039d ago

except naruto games are barely actual deep fighting games

BrainSyphoned1039d ago

Or 20 second fights fall on their face when portraying multi season anime.

Outlawzz1039d ago

I like the games they work on and how they recreate the feel of the anime. They are masters of that imo but the gameplay is usually basic and doesn't ever try anything new. It's mostly the same over and over.

So that basically only ever makes it a good game with lots of potential to be a great game.

Pepsi_Man30001039d ago

CC2 has a lot of potential. Theyre amazing when it comes to spectacle. Naruto storm looked great and asuras was amazing cinematic wise, but theyre gameplay needs so much improvement. Its so damn basic. Its like they hold themselves back. I remember the reveal trailer for asuras wrath having body slams, and suplexes, dragging enemies across the ground etc. And for some weird reason all of that was removed for gameplay that was hardly anything more than mashing the circle button.

And its even more frustrating cuz theyve done how many storm games now. Youd think they wouldve managed ti improve but tis like theyre not even trying. Idk man. I just feel like a dev like them shouldve been way bigger by now
