finding ways to make me buy it. You get certain demos earlier and betas. Last month I bought it just for the Valkyria Chronicles demo, this month I will certainly want to get into the Home beta.

callahan095655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

I'm already in the Home Beta and I'm an annual subscriber to Qore, so I hope to hell that the Home Beta isn't the ONLY thing that Qore subscribers get to download next month.

Edit: And Lightning, Qore is worth it. It's really quote inexpensive if you think about it, and you get Calling All Cars! for free when you do the annual subscription, which is a decent value and a good game in its own right if you don't have it already. And the monthly downloads have all been worth my while so far. And the presentation is really nice. I like it, there's good stuff on there. And mini-games. If that matters to you.

I guess this means HOME isn't coming out this year after all. HOME is PS3's Alan Wait lol.

Kleptic5655d ago

I want nothing to do with whatever closed beta they have going on right now...no one seems to find it worthwhile, just because barely anyone is in it and all the areas are closed off still...

when a Qore episode includes a beta to Killzone 2 though...i'll buy 6...

Megaton5655d ago

If you don't have Calling All Cars, the annual is worth it. You're essentially paying $15 for 12 episodes of Qore. I don't know if I would have subscribed if I had already owned that game.

As for this episode, I'm in Home, so there doesn't seem to be anything for me. Home could definitely use more active people though, so I guess that's something.

I'm already in it, but I knew this was going to happen... We won't see an open beta until 09' ; just another Sony blunder.

MS Bribing II5655d ago

I will bet you a 100,000$ its coming out this year

Sitdown5655d ago

is that a trick? Cause typically the "$" goes before the number. Anyhow...I have not really kept up with home......which for me means that Qore is not worth my price of admission....and I feel like Qore is slowing making its way to become Sony's version of Live.

Final_Rpg5655d ago

@2.1

I bet you a 100,000 dollars that you won't pay him if it does come out 2009.

sonarus5656d ago

This is just proof that home will actually come this yr

LightningPS3PS35655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

That's how I saw it also. I mean just about anyone can buy the episode of Qore for 3 bucks. I never get into any betas. If I'm actually gonna be able to get into Home, that means Home is now a reality, is just about here.

Polluted5655d ago

I'd say it seems more like proof that it won't come this year. *Maybe* in late December. They're trying to cover up the fact that they've missed another "proposed release" date by pretending like we're supposed to be excited about a beta we have to pay for.

Last I heard we were supposed to have Home on November 5th. Prior to that it was supposed to be some time in October. I guess it's best to launch a completely finished product than risk the bad pr from a shaky launch, but from what I hear from people in the beta it's actually not bad right now. What's the freakin' hold up here?

MrWonderful5655d ago

does anyone ever get into the qore betas on time?

--Onilink--5655d ago

i got my soccom code on time and i didnt care about it, but r2 was the one i wanted, and i got it a week later...and some people never got it

they shouldnt be promoting the betas as something big on qore if they cant deliver

8 Years Later, It's About Time Sony Revives The Rest Of Ratchet And Clank

Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."

shinoff218315h ago(Edited 15h ago)

It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though

purple1014h ago

Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

rlow113h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

blackblades5h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

rlow149m ago(Edited 48m ago)

First, you don’t know who has or hasn’t played it. So that’s your assumption. Secondly, even if people haven’t played it in awhile, it’s still nostalgia. Those memories of sharing your creation and having fun playing other peoples creations. Third, no game out there is really like this or as iconic. Today if they made this they would nickel and dime the whole way through and it would launch broken.

Reason why i really dislike online games.. they become unplayable over time.. LBP story mode is actually only a tutorial

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno7h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken4h ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn6h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

DOMination-3h ago

Honestly, I think a well-designed LBP-style game would do better than ever in the current state of the industry.

People have short attention spans. Having something that is pick up, play a few levels and put down again is the experience the "masses" are after.

Keep it as a 2D platformer only with well-designed base levels, make it easy to build new levels and more importantly easy to access new content - personally I always found the way Forze Horizon 4&5 provide daily, weekly and monthly challenges via new content that they've built or handpicked from the community is a system that works great - and then stick it on mobile and PC with Steam Deck support.

Make it F2P with a one-off fee for the level editor (to stop people spamming crap onto the store) and have MTX for more characters, outfits etc. and there you have a live service game that Sony should be all over.

Do the same with a new Karting game and a 2D fighting/Smash Bros style engine and you have three bangers right there.

(I appreciate the N4G community will hate the idea of LBP being a live service game with MTX and I get that but I think if there's one game this model could work well for, it's this.. just imo)

anast50m ago(Edited 49m ago)

Astro's is similar.

Not enough people cared to play it, so they cut it.

Sony has never been a kid friendly console. This should be obvious. People go to Nintendo for this stuff.

StoneTitan43m ago

Its on media molecule though. They did not want to continue LBP. Sony accepted that.
Sumo continued it. With a solala lbp3 and a great sackboy though.
Its not sonys fault. They dont want to force a studio to create a new LBP game.
But I would love a revival.

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

DOMination-3h ago

Sony in the Andrew House era did support them massively though. They let them do their thing with LBP and spent millions marketing it. I remember one E3 they even used LBP to cover the boring parts of the presentation where they talk about sales figures etc.

And then they allowed MM to announce their game on the PS4 console announcement/showcase event and waited the entire generation for them to release it.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC14h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer15h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60214h ago(Edited 14h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya13h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde12h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP4h ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
