Sorry for offtopic. But when is the european release date for Uncharted 2. I see 16th but also 14th. Which is it? Do you know?
Posted on 11 October, 2009 at 8:21 pm by Jem Alexander
Games tend to release on the mainland two days earlier than in the UK, hence the difference in release date.
So, to clarify:
UK – 16th
Europe – 14th

Off topic again, but I have been waiting eagerly for ages for news:
I would like to make a plea to have Jeanne D’Arc released on the European/ Australian PSN!
It’s been translated and released in NA, how difficult can it be to release it here too?! I don’t really want to import itfrom Japan or the US as I wouldn’t be able play it on my PSP Go which I just paid a premium for.
Please! Let us play Jeanne D’Arc!

You know what we DIDN’T read this week? Replies on the blog… seriously, besides Mike (really nice guy) and a few once-off dev posts, we’ve heard nothing from anyone else in the comments. This is my main complaint with the Blog at the moment

I’m sorry to hear that, Raider197. I’ll make sure you see more replies on here from now on. That’s one of the main purposes of the blog, after all.

there are these chain letters going around and I want to know if there is any truth to them or if its just some xbox fanboys with nothing else to do but mess with the ps people.
1. there is 2 that regard the playstion store, saying that if you send this message to so many people you get $25 & $50 on a specified date
2. one that says basicaly the same thing but its for a beta key for modern warfare 2
3. The most IMPORTANT one. It says that Sony is going to make us pay to play online unless 500,000 users receive or send that message by 1/12/09.
If sony does decide to do that they are most likely going to take a giant financial blow, im guessing. Is there any truth to any of these?

Dear Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/demonssouls
Do your job.
Publish YOUR OWN GAME in Europe.
I have double dipped on this title, now owning both a Japanese copy and a US copy. It is hands down the best game, not just purely in it’s genre, it’s THE best game released this console generation.
Cheers!

@ericscolon [5]
Do you honestly believe any of those chain messages are true?
Seriously, after reading through the comments posted in this blog and the SCEA blog I’m not surprised developers are dumbing-down games for this generation of consoles. The more advanced the consoles get the less advanced the gamers seem to get.

SiRobertson, I agree with you about gamers being alittle “less advanced” but I don’t know exactly what you mean with developers “dumbing-down” their games?
I mean, games has longer single-player and most of the games also have a fully fledged multiplayer mode aswell. But you might be referring to something completly different? Because in my opinion, we get more bang for our bucks these days.

@Jem Has there been any news what so ever concerning the resistance franchise? I don’t know what to make of this: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2009/10/11/resistance-3-announced-via-bill board/ Is it fake? Or a movie sponsored by RES3 that released the ad early by accident? (Battle:los angeles?) I struggled to word that

It would be nice to have Demon Soul released here.
I would also like to see more links from other sites on these stories, there are some great European sites out there but it always seems to be the same sites that get linked to.

LOOK HERE, is that the final design for the motion controller? Please tell me it isn’t. Do the people who are making that controller even play games? No Analog stick? Why play RES Evil 5 with two different types of controllers when all you need to do is turn that big black button on the front of the motion controller into a mini analog stick like the psp that happens to be clickable.
Do you guys see us playing one hand with a motion controller and one hand with a Duelshock? Does I dont.
