WHAT! Where is the KZ2 Beta!!??? j/k can't wait to try the new demos out tonight. I'm just glad sony has gotten off their a$$ and started adding more then just videos. I hope the demos keep flying in everyweek, atleast the good ones.

Violater6071d ago

They cannot give us the Demo's if they don't get it themselves.
Not saying that they did not hold unto some demo's a bit too long in the past.

Scythesean6071d ago

oh I know but if they push harder for a demo they should be able to match the 360 pound for pound. They need more demos of their exclusives, I mean I know they are working on them but the only semi-good exclusive demo we have gotten lately is the HS demo. Also they have stopped adding PS1 games for some strange reason... Makes you wonder if we are going to be getting anymore. Twisted Metal Black Online would be a killer game to redo and make playable on the PS3.

Kleptic6071d ago

I thought the demos have been pretty good week to week lately...the HS demo was good...and then the GRAW 2 demo pretty much up till now...they doubled the demo content in less than a month...

and I totally agree...bring in some new PS1 content...all kinds of old PS1 games that are hard to find now that I would buy...the original Warhawk seems like it would be a must with the recent release of the PS3 game...and I want Loaded, Twisted Metal 1 and 2, Agile Warrior F111x, and a bunch of others...

the only PS1 game I bought off the store was Jet Moto...the original WipeOut was annoying imo...but XL is one of the greatest racers of all time, and I still have that on disc...but there are so many games that would just scoop up money if they would just stick them on there...

hazeblaze6071d ago

Well remember the Ratchet & Clank demo is scheduled for Oct. 4... that's next week! So yea, I'm VERY pleased with the demo releases lately.

I'm still considering a Lair purchase after hearing how much some of my friends like it... I'm hoping that they still release a demo of that as well so I can try it for myself.

ATLRoAcH6071d ago

The Ratchet and Clank Demo just got bumped a week it will now come out Oct.11.But if you Pre-order it at Gamestop you get the Demo on Blu-Ray.

Keowrath6071d ago (Edited 6071d ago )

Disagreed with you there MD, I've seen updates (UK) on a thursday every week for as long as I can remember. Usually happens around 6pm GMT.

I've noticed the US PSN doesn't seem to update for us on the thursday though. (probably does in the US timezone)

ATLRoAcH6071d ago

Just checked the store and they haven't got it updated yet.Soon?

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 16h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18220h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie11h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno22h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno20h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii7h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno6h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
