Sources have told Siliconera that Konami's cooperative multiplayer game Castlevania: Harmony of Despair will be seeing release on the PlayStation Network. An Xbox 360 exclusive up until this point, Harmony of Despair was a challenging game which placed an emphasis on working as a team, as the game was just too damn hard to try and do anything else.
I can't say that I would be shocked to hear this announced by Konami at E3 next week and it would be great for PS3 owners to have a crack at Drac. I'll admit that I grew tired of playing it once the initial challenge wore off and it began to look like more of a grind than anything else, but I did have a lot of fun in the first week following release. I just hope that Konami has the courtesy to just release all the DLC and all at once.

been waiting almost a year now :D
hopefully we do get all the DLC in one package :P
PS Store is coming out soon you know what that means ^^
I'll probably wait and get it on PSN if it comes with the dlc or any exclusive content.
I've clocked over 100 hours as just Soma the game is just such a joy to play
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lets face it. PSN is never coming back! and if it does, hackers will keep taking it down.
Sony fucked up when they went after Geohot and the other hackers.... those are people you just DON'T FUCK with.... even I know that, and I'm not a multi million dollar online entetainment business.
It all really sucks, especially since I'm about to finish L.A. Noire and I'll never get to use my DLC "Piano gun" in the main story.. Sony, leave those guys alone..... it's fucking suicide.... or sonycide or something ;)
Yeah, it was suicide to go after them. They should have done the smart thing, and let the hackers run wild on their system so that the PS3 could become the next Dreamcast/PSP.
Oh man that sounds gross. Coop castlevania grinding thingy on 3DS. Gross.
Now like a regular Castlevania on 3DS sure. But HoD? Sounds gross.
They should only be so lucky, the Dreamcast is one of the most loved consoles out of the past and the PSP is still selling. The hackers are already planning another attack, PSN isn't coming back. Sony fucked up, brains will always win in this case.
you posted the same exact comment on Siliconera
It's kinda funny you're Catherine here, and you're Katherine there
Agreed, if you buy all the DLC (which you have to because the next best items/increased drop rates are there, and if you don't buy them you play in a online ghost town) it adds up to $50 USD. I don't know about anyone else, but the title is not worth 50, even after buying it day 1 I still regret doing so.
Otherwise, like Nevi said, it sucks.
That and it being the bastard spawn of the GBA/DS games, but that's another subject. For those that enjoy the complete bastardization of some great games and piecemeal DLC worse than a Bioware game, the co-op needs fixing.
I've love me some Nintendo DS Castlevania and I wasn't expecting much from Harmony. Having set the bar so low, I was hooked. This game was like crack for me.There are atleast half a dozen people on my friends list I made just because of Harmony. So, congrats PS3 guys - get yer grindage on!
Recommend, despite the normal DLC prices.
What satisfaction do you get from being a hacker fanboy anyhow? I would think someone who continually posts on a website "for gamers. By gamers" would be objective about the situation. Use logic and stop handjobbing a bunch of people who don't give a fuck about the industry. If geo-hotz and Sony settled, and the little shit has personally condemned the actions that brought the network down, what cause is there for a "war"? It's selfish, destructive, and childish.
I don't even know why I bother.
"What satisfaction"? Your response.
lol you notice eh? :P
yup this site along with Siliconera and Andriasang, Gematsu are my main gaming site :P
