MediEvil yanked from PlayStation Network due to bugs photo

The downloadable PlayStation game MediEvil has been pulled down from the PlayStation Network due to a bug that causes the game to crash.

Sony told Eurogamer that this bug, which causes the game to stop on the third level, led to the withdrawal this week. There is no given date for the patched return, but Sony says it will eventually return to the PlayStation Store once fixed, and anyone who originally purchased the game will be able to download it again for free.

According to GI, MediEvil isn't the only buggy title. They say that Sony is also checking into other reports of audio problems in Sypro 2, which is still available on the network in Europe. Wait, someone downloaded Spyro 2?

In other news, fun games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night seem to work perfectly fine.

They cant even make an OLD game work on the PS3, not much hope for new stuff there... Then again, VC games on Wii look fucking awful and the framerate is choppy at best. Ah well, at least I lol'd.

Medevil wasn't a bad game when I played it on the ps1... not sure how it aged though. I'm just holding out for Jet Moto 2 and Coolborders 2. Stick up for your rights, don't accept inferior predecessors.

Nice new pic dale

Hey now, I thought Spyro was kind of fun back then.

@ john Martone.

I loved this game for the Ps1. I found it in a used bin a couple of years ago. It has aged pretty poorly, IMO FYI.

I used to love this this game. Pretty average third-person hack n slash I now realize, but it had style, and a charming quirkyness that seems be disappearing against the next-gen push for superb graphics and realism.

Man I miss the old Spyro games. Medievil was badass as well.

Medievil's remake on the PSP is stellar - if you have the option, go for that instead.

Medievil was pretty entertaining back in the day.

Yeah, I also agree that the original Spyro trilogy (Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon) was awesome...I loved those games. I still remember the beautiful vistas in Spyro 2’s “Autumn Plains” world, once you got way up on top of the towers and such.

uhm... I bought this a while ago and I am waaaaaaaaaaaay past the third level...
maybe if youre a retard and accidently hit that glowing red button on your ps3 it may turn off for you. but other than that there was no bug... hell I'll go playtest it right now.

I loves me some medieval...

now I did get a glitch in the anthill somewhat later in the game but just regoing through the level fixed that...
