Isn't it a normal occurrence where a new playstation exclusive is announced every 2 weeks or so?

grow up.. and may as well get a life or go play ur ps3

[zeddy]

chess is good man. i used to think it was really complicated but my friend tought me it in 1 hour. once you get passed the initial learning curve it can be quite fun. i might just get this if its a reasonable price.

[Thatguy-310]

Are ppl seriously defending this exclusive? C'Mon its a chess game for god sake ! Don't even know why its reached 'hot news' status. Give me an uncharted, GOW or any other AAA exclusive and then ill defend it but this? Ppl seriously need to grow up. Out of a sudden chess became popular again -_- 'sigh'

[SilentNegotiator]

Chess doesn't need "defending" unless it's actually being attacked. And with plenty of troll comments like 1.1, there ARE going to be people defending chess.

In case you didn't notice, the subject of chess NEVER comes up on N4G, unless an article with a vague title like this comes around. So if people are praising chess seemingly out of no-where....it's because the subject of chess came out of no-where.

Chess is a great game, more depth than you can imagine. I hope the game has some form of tutorial system.

[Rainstorm81]

Im hoping for cross platform play.... or buy one version and get the other free like hustle kings

[TheDarkTyrant]

It's from the same developer who made Hustle Kings... and Since it's a PSN exclusive for both PS3 and Vita. I'm sure you will only need to buy it once to get both versions and Cross Platform will be included.

[MasterCornholio]

If its like wizards chess where the pieces destroy each other that would be fun. However I would like to see a collection of classic board games on the Vita with support for online multiplayer. Would love to play monopoly, chess, Chinese checkers, making, dominoes etc on the go. Also using the AR feature of the Vita to spawn a chess board on your table sounds like a nice idea as well.

Remember Battle Chess? They should make an HD version for that.

[Foliage]

I loved it. I downloaded an emulated version a few months back.

My first gaming experiences were Wolfenstein, Doom, Dopewars, Stunts, and Battle Chess in good ol' DOS.

[Rainstorm81]

They should make an all new battle chess for this day and age, that game got me into chess, well that and chessmaster

[BitbyDeath]

I was just about to make a comment about the same game.
That was a great chess game, not that i'm into chess but it was always fun to watch the pieces battle it out on the board.

[turgore]

crap.

[shackdaddy]

Lol. Why is this on the hottest articles list? It's chess. My crappy laptop has chess.

[pwnmaster3000]

Maybe because it says new playstation exclusive.
If said new playstation chess exclusive, it would be different.

[CanadianTurtle]

Will I be able to use nukes in this game?

/end fps fanboyism

[TopDudeMan]

I do like chess, but how is this any different from the chess game I have pre-installed on my computer?

[ClimateKaren]

Play with a few different chess programs and you'll answer your own question. If they were all the same there wouldn't be so many of them. Some chess games stink and some are great, for many different reasons.

[Neko_Mega]

People mostly hate chess because they are no good at it, I'm not as good as I use to be at it. But I enjoy playing it.

[Blastoise]

I hope its like Wizards Chess in Harry Potter...

[Lionalliance]

They announced this last year.

[Friendly_fiend]

checkmate

[Fel08]

I think I will pass

[Ness-Psi]

Announcement of the year!

[GamingPerson]

meh..

[PirateThom]

If it's a cheap, simple chess game without all sorts of pointless add ons and complications, I'll pick up a Vita version of it. I like playing chess and, on Vita with touch screen, would even work well as a two player offering.

Just need a PSN version of Scrabble now.

And this post isn't tongue in cheek or sarcastic.

[Hicken]

I could do with a lot of such games on Vita. Scrabble is a beast of an idea.

[Drainage]

lol at people defending a chess game only because its psn exclusive

[pwnmaster3000]

Lol at selective reading

[ClimateKaren]

Woops, I meant to disagree with you.

People are defending chess because it's one of the (if not THE) oldest, most respected, and globally accepted games ever played.

Wake up, Life isn't a big fanboy war.

I've been waiting for a PS3 chess game (that isn't Fritz) since the system released, so this is big news for me. So was the announcement of Chessmaster for the PS2 back in the day. This is good news for me, and obviously I'm not alone.

[Awesome_Gamer]
