The week in PSN updates: ehrgeiz, zombies and echochrome
ParaParaKing | 4:35 PM on 07.10.2008 8 comments


Slow week is slow.


JAPAN:
* NBA2K8 - trailer
* Gundam Battle Universe - PSP demo
* Elefunk - full game (800Yen) - slated for release on July 17th on EU PSN.
* PixelJunk Monsters - OST (400Yen) ???

Game Archives (600Yen each):
- Wizard's Harmony R
- BRAVE FENCER Musashi (only PSP!)
- Ehrgeiz
- RAYCRISIS
- Aquanaut's Holiday MEMORIES OF SUMMER 1996
- b.l.u.e. Legend of water

2 more of the 12 SquareEnix games to hit PSN.
I never played Ehrgeiz, but I hear it's very popular with the FinalFantasy fanboys.
What's with Musashi being only playable on the PSP? I want to play it on my PS3!
Since it's summer, there are TWO diving games. Aquanaut's Holiday is actually getting a sequel in form of the previous announced AQUA, that got renamed into Aquanauts's Holiday. I guess we will see more of that at E3. Since I liked Endless Ocean, I'm really looking forward to that.
Also RAYCRISIS is a very nice shooter, though I prefer RAYSTORM released two weeks earlier.

US

* Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Gift Pack DLC (free)
* Siren: Blood Curse demo and story trailer
* Monster Madness: Grave Danger demo
* WALL-E demo
* The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian demo
* SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation assault trailer
* Elefunk trailer
* Super Stardust HD add-on intro trailer - aka buy this game and get trophies trailer.
* AST Dew Tour 4 videos
* Civilization Revolution launch trailer
* Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway destructible cover gameplay video
* Dead Space Dev Diary #1: Greenlight

Rock Band ($1.99 each)
- Working Man (Vault Edition) by Rush
- Closer to the Heart by Rush
- Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Tell Me Baby by Red Hot Chili Peppers

* Quarantine Blu-Ray trailer

4 demos are nice, though I only care about Siren.

EU

* Echochrome full game PS3 (£6.99/€9.99)
* Echochrome micro full game PSP (£4.99/€7.99) - I have no idea, what is included in this micro version, but the full UMD game is like €30.
* Echochrome trailer
* High Velocity Bowling "Amber Yarhees" character pack (£0.69/€0.99)
* Kung Fu Panda trailer
* Top Spin 3 demo (free)

* Movement episode 1 part 2

EU update as always depressing...
But perhaps they only went with a simplistic approach together with the echochrome release?
Also read wilbo's blog.

All in all a not so great week. But 4 demos in the US store and finally echochrome in the EU is OK I guess. I give this week a 2 out of 5.

Next week is E3 week, so hopefully they update frequently with trailers and stuff. I don't exactly recall what they did last year. Let's wait and see. :

we get a bunch of fncking demos in america. i hate demos. not one fncking game dammit and japan gets all the good stuff once again, while the playstation blog is littered about ps1 classics we want. the sad thing is japan isn't asking for them, they are just getting them for the fuck of it.and they can't even release a release date list for psn games but we fncking know when killzone2 is coming out. i'm mad if you can't tell. i need some cheese.

@Y0j1mb0: I do suck at SSHD though, so the last silber trophies will be hard work. But the BUZZ! trophies are said to come mid-july and should boost that count a lot.

ZOMG Brave Fencer Musashi!!! Definitely jealous!!!

ahem... Ehrgeiz was ok but it's only redeeming feature was the bonus Final Fantasy 7 characters. Power Stone was a similar game that was much better.

Yay for Europe finally getting Echochrome XD

Last year at E3 I think Sony updated a couple times that week, whenever they made a big announcement. Think they had the whole on-stage thing put up once it was over.

Musashi was an awesome game, most people bought it for the FF8 demo though. One of my favorite PS1 games. Too bad the one for PS2 sucked.
