"Not enough good games on PlayStation Network"

9lives.be: In an interview with 9lives, Henri Heikkinen, CEO of Pixolane, said that there are not enough good games available on PlayStation Netwok. That's the reason why Pixolane brings their game Rust Bucanneers exclusively on PSN.

"We believe there are not as many good games as there are users on PSN, so we wanted to do our share, by releasing Rust Buccaneers for the platform. I think the Finnish developers have always had a better technical insight than other countries, don't ask me why"

[mrv321]

Flower says otherwise infact... check PSN right now... you'll find quality titles everywhere.

[FanOfGaming]

There are plenty of other games that say otherwise I don't really feel like going through the list but if we must...

WipeoutHD
Flower
SuperStardustHD
Fat Princess
echochrome
Pain
..

There are a lot more than that

What is that guy talking about

[swiftshot93]

WipEout HD is the best game on the PSN!

[RememberThe357]

Read past the title people. They not saying that there are no good games on the PSN, just not enough in proportion to the userbase. If they want to make great games on put them on the PSN, more power to'em.

[TheTwelve]

Not enough good games on the PSN network???

Alright I understand people have different tastes but I would hate to know what his tastes are if he can't find anything. I'm a PSN nut and can't buy enough of them.

Slow news day?

12

[sikbeta]

Don't GIVE A F/CK!!!!!

WIPEOUT HD FURY = THE BEST PSN GAME...

[Chubear]

phew.

I really want to see what this game's about. Hopefully we have another Q games on our hands :)

[LukaX23]

Fanboys try so hard to make the PS3 look bad they go to foreign gaming sites and submit it as news using Google Translator. Now that's what I call having NO LIFE.

The worst part is, the moron "contributors" on N4G actually APPROVE it. Great job, mods! Anything to earn you traffic, eh?

[GVON]

I'm happy with the selection,but you guys didn't lis Noby Noby Boy :(

My most wanted PSN game is Under Siege.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Comes with crazy feature list
http://dev.undersiegegame.c...
- Native 1080p (not upscaled )
- Replay recording with option to upload to YouTube
- Motion Controller support
- Splitscreen for Co-Op and Competitive
- 4 players online
- Video and voice chat in game and on lobby (with tiny windows on the corner!)
- Photo Mode (WipEout we envy you?)
- Custom Soundtracks
- Create your own level (single player, multiplayer) or a full campaign with your story
- Use the same tools that we used to make the Single Player Campaign
- Upload it all for everyone to see (and make us sweat with the all the wrong possibilities that a tool like this provides)

[Saaking]

Not enough good games on the 360.

[Redempteur]

well there are so few good game

BUT SO MUCH GREAT GAMES !!!

[Anorexorcist]

This guy must not be talking about the same PSN that we all know.

This PS3 disparity B.S. is really getting pretty damn pathetic. I think it's because PSN doesn't have Ms. Pac Man, that is why PSN isn't good enough.

Forget original content like Flower and Fat Princess, Sony should probably just provide some Xbox arcade clone and then maybe cynicists like the author will be appeased...I wouldn't wager on it, though.

[ThanatosDMC]

PS3 teh DOOMZ!

I say Warhawk was the best PSN game they released. I wonder if he even has access to the PSN Store... is he looking at that green thing?

[jjohan35]

I actually don't like the vast majority of PSN games. I'd rather not spend $15 per game and skip 4 of them in order to purchase a $60 PS3 exclusive. There are about 10 games on the PSN that I actually enjoy. Other than that, I'd rather use the money for Uncharted and Killzone games.

[NewZealander]

i own both the ps3 and 360, and while yes the ps3 has a few games worth owning, the 360 still has far more classic games to offer, some of the best games like the dreamcast version of soul caliber,or N64 banjo kazooie 1 & 2 and soon perfect dark, psn still doesn't even have sonic or streets of rage...

[ipwnall]

I laughed so hard. You mean games like Flower, Fat Princess, The Last Guy, SSHD (best downloadable game ever) and Wipeout HD and hundreds more, "are not good enough"?

Oh man, thanks for the laughs.

[Trebius]

I downloaded so many that i had to get rid of some to make room for more games, I'm still on a 60g fatty unfortunately.

[Fulensenca]

FlOw
PixelJunk Racer
PixelJunk Monster
PixelJunk Eden
PixelJunk Shooter
Everyday Shooter
Trine

Burn Zombie Burn!

"Not enough good games on PlayStation Network"

Huh?

[mrv321]

He probably meant not enough shovelware mediocore games burying the quality games.

[TheHater]

What about WipeOut HD
Burnout
Siren
Socom
Warhawk

All the Playstation 1 classic also

[MiloGarret]

How can you write that long list of games, including some really crappy ones, and not mention Wipeout HD?!

WTF man, W T F... Not cool.

[WinterWolf]

There are over 100 PSOne Classics and Dozens of PS3/PSP Minis on PSN

[BBAM]

compared to live there isn't much content, and yet I have more downloaded games on my PS3 than my xbox...
the reason for that is almost every game released on PSN is a top quality game.
i wont bother re-listing them, but bottom line is that the dude in the article is either an idiot, or jealous that he can't produce top quality content on PSN to match what's there.

[Fulensenca]

I didn' t mention Wipeout HD Fury because someone already did before me :P I also think this game is the best too ( I got it also on Blu-Ray Disc :D )

And I didn' t mention Siren, Burnout, Socom and Warhawk because they are also available on disc ( I got all of them but Socom ).

I just wanted to list great exclusive PSN games not mentioned before ;)

Edit: I liked Noby-Noby Boy as well!

Edit2: @ Milo Garret: really crappy ones?? Which ones?

[xaviertooth]

tell the guy that US has a new president and its not 2006 anymore.

[Lord_Ranos]

WARHAWK!!!

[Raoh]

wow, this actually got approved?

[MajesticBeast]

He said it a little weird but he means in comparison to all the users on psn which he might be a little right about. I aint complaining that they are bringing their game on psn and they also said they liked the support they got from Sony.

[bjornbear]

PSN has AMAZING games =O just got flower yesterday n wow!

I have

Critter Crunch
Fat Princess
Smash Cars
Battlefield 1943 and Flower! and i love them all

not to mention PSOne games

[table]

Braid came to PSN, that's good enough for me. One of the best games ever made in my book.

[MetalGearBear]

also, castle crashers came to PSN.

[Godmars290]

And yet there's so much crap on XBL they're either deleting it or re-introducing it. The last is especially true of the virtual arcade they're doing.

Still, you don't hear people complaining about that.

I get that the guy's trying to talk up his own title, but that's got to be the lamest approach when no one's seen your game.

[WLPowell]

the 360 and xbl is infallable in the western media's eyes.

Which is another reason why IGN was bashing Netflix on PSN, completely forgetting there's a browser at the ready to get the full experience anyway.

[Dave1351]

guys lets be honest, as big a sony fan I am xbox has games on demand which is pretty cool. like it or not its a little better than playstations games

[SDF Repellent]

I had bought 11 XBLA arcade games and One PSN game (Wipeout). XBLA is the dominant D/L game network.

[BBAM]

you're loss if you ignore the great content on PSN...

[subzero-08]

Not at all, there are plenty of great games on PSN.

[Dave1351]

ive bought like 10 games from the psn store, I just said being able to buy whole games like on xbl is pretty cool

[Miacosa]

This is a stupid comment as it is subjective what one person views as a good game. One gamers golden nugget can be another games POS. I wish all stories like this would be declined from getting posted here.

[sleepyazn]

instead of being so defensive, you should be happy that the PSN is getting a exclusive game. Let's just see if Pixolane can back their talk with a "good game". Besides who needs PSN games when you could be enjoying Uncharted 2?

[Theoneneo81]

bu bu but the arcade gamez lolz

[MajesticBeast]

And now i need to kill you all for not even mentioning Shatter.

[TehCell]

There are items on the psn store worth 19.99.
So I buy a 20$ psn card.
I couldn't buy the game.... I forgot about the tax.....
So anyways, yea, there are no good games on psn. Flower is pretty boring and I do not like it. But if you like it, go ahead and play it. Fat princess is also pretty bad.

[RememberThe357]

That was the most pathetic trolling attempt I've read in a long time.

[TehCell]

I think its pretty sad how fanboys are so defensive to the point where everything I type is considered trolling.

Honestly, I just shared a little experience of mine with the psn. Nothing personal, just a little story by a fellow gamer.
Then I just gave out my opinion on 2 of the 4 psn games I own.
I also had .detuned and Mortal Kombat 2.
HUGE ripoff, but stating them as horrible games would be very obvious.
The only games worth buying are the psx classics.
But then again, theres torrents and poweriso to rip my own games....

If my little experience AND my opinion were SOOO offensive to you, that you take it as trolling, i can only imagine how sensitive you are in life.

[snaz27]

saying this 'The only games worth buying are the psx classics.' is not cool, for one you have only bought 4 games, im sure you havnt played EVERY game! fyi wipeout hd is awesome, inferno pool is great too, pinball game was fun, and there are many more, oh sshd is fantastic! Dont tell people there are no games worth buying, you do have every right however, to give your opinion on games you have played!

[SDF Repellent]

Even as your ally, that was some serious blatant trolling. You don't even have a PS3 so how do you know?

Anyways, X360 has PD HD, Toy Soldier and Scrape Metal in March..I will get all three.

[Bush]

I want some classic arcade games like Golden Axe or even Sonic the Hedgehog games for the PSN

[blakstarz]

Siren: Blood Curse....nuff said! There are plenty of great games on PSN, the author who wrote this, obviously didn't look hard enough.

[Cajun Chicken]

Yeah...sure.

[Socomer 1979]

By far the best team tactical shooter on the market today available on psn to download.
With a solid hardcore fanbase noobs get weeded out very quickly.
The fanbase also plays MAG for Fun but socom is as serious as it gets.
No kids allowed. Kids get booted & it's great!

[tiamat5]

Why did he have to say it like that? Its like saying 'I've come to help you with your homework because you are so stupid'. Anyway as usual Sony prefers quality over quantity. What is the point of having 500+ games if only 1 in 50 are good(only an example, not saying Microsoft or Nintendo are exactly like that)

[ForROME]

Agreed xbox live stomps PSN in terms of content, however MS had the online idea back in 2002 so they have a step up in planning on the online market but it cant hold that forever eventually PSN will catch up and by the Google will enter the game market and stomp them all =)

[Socomer 1979]

& those are the guys I game with so...
Sorry if I don't take your word for it suit.

[Gambit07]

Rust Bucanneers? The Flock?

[OGharryjoysticks]

But while everybody else posting here is trying to say what games are good on PSN I decided to search for Rust Bucanneers. Its official website describes it as " In Rust Buccaneers, the player’s gets to raid the seas with modern-day Sea vessels armed with modern-day weapons in an open world environment. The gameplay consists of raiding cargo and passenger ships and battling against patrol boats, which raises the player’s infamy"

The screenshots were pretty impressive. And the idea of a modern day pirate game is pretty funny. Hope to hear more in the future on this one actually.

[washingmachine]

being a psn user i find that live does have alot more better games and psn is lacking way behind. i think ive only downloaded like 3 games since psn launch lol.

[Ahmay]

he wants the incentives!!!

[ironmonkey]

media hates everything on sony

[tigertron]

I think this guy is still living in 2007, because in the year 2010, the PSN has a lot of good games.

[Arnon]

Every time I turn on my PS3, I look for a good PSN game.

Noby Noby Boy
Pixel Junk: Monsters
Fat Princess
Flower
WipEout HD
Warhawk

Can anyone honestly name me more good games on PSN that I should purchase. Considering how expensive PSN games are compared to the competition, I really need to factor in the price:quality ratio. I've been avidly purchasing games for my PS3 lately, and honestly... there really isn't a lot when it comes to quality PSN titles. Also, there's absolutely no demos for the games that they put up, which in my eyes, is just suicide on their part.

[devilhunterx]

Bionic Commando Rearmed
Blast Factor
Braid

[MyWordIsGospel]

HUSTLE KINGS! Theres nothing else that recreates pool ona perfect simulation level, oh and it rocks online too!

[baodeus]

I don't know about PSN lack games (pretty sure there are some really good one like Wipeout, warhawk etc....). The only problem is that PSN seem to lack information, demo, picture or description for a lot of arcade games. Who the hell gonna pay money on something they don't know. Got to give them like a demo or something.

[shikwan]

There aren't enough good games on PSN! You can tell because all the PS3 owners are on here posting 'news' from dumb blogs, trolling 360 news, stealing bubbles from anyone who speaks negatively about the PS3/PSN and giving their like-minded kind enough bubbles so they'll never drop to 2-3 limited postings.

In other words, they spend more time on here than they do actually playing games!

[OGharryjoysticks]

Takes one to know one, eh? =)

[shikwan]

Check my postings and my N4G score - I can only take but so much of this garbage website.

[tiamat5]

Arnon are you serious? Do you even have a PS3? Appearently not.

[Arnon]

You're an idiot. I have my PSN ID publicly posted on my page, and I own 19 PS3 exclusives.

So you're right. I obviously don't own a PS3.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

What he means? No good games for the audience? Quantity or Quality?

[devsgreat]

two words : Under Siege

[end3rbr0]

The gentleman from Pixolane never said that ANY of the PSN games available were bad or even that they were NOT good.
He said "there are not enough good games on PSN"
For all any of us know, he considers all the games on PSN "good games"
He simply stated there weren't enough of them. It is for that reason alone that his company is bringing their game EXCLUSIVELY to PSN. To add to the number of "good games" available. He obviously is confident that his game is a good one.
75% of you idiot fanboys didn't even read the article, just the headline.
Because if you had read the article you would be bashing the 360 fanboys for missing out on another exclusive.
Morons....
