FirstPlay Episode 4

Cannot wait for the GT5 preview! I love FirstPlay!

..I hope to see something new and REAL and OFFICIAL about GT5..!!!!

That announcer sounds cute

GT5 preview I think firstplay needs more previews and reviews than the previous 3 episodes. Bring back the best singstar clips aswell. They are well better than Fifa goals

Firstplay for Ireland please!!

I guess it’s just old stuff we have seen a couple of months ago right?

Of course it will be old stuff. Nothing to see here.

Screw first play.. Still not in Norway.. Sicken tired of all the content coming to UK first. Lets take a look at Playstation Home. Norway is not getting any update what so ever with content from games such as the latest final fantasy 13 content. And this is called the Playstation Blog EUROPE >_>

Sorry for a negative post but just HAD to get my frustration out there.

Do we get anything FREE this week, I kinda based buying the 3 month sub on the fact I would be getting Free stuff totalling more then 99p each week.

Are there any plans to include the “FirstPlay” content on the cover-mounted Blu-ray Discs issued with the “Official PlayStation Magazine UK”, Mr Ditum?

Or is the overall goal with the new digital magazine content to phase-out the magazine in the medium to long term?

A small increase in the Magazine subscription per month/quarter/year would cover the loss of revenue with the Store-based digital subscription distribution. I would be happy to pay this for three or four “FirstPlay” issues on the Magazine disc per month.

Of course, if you were planning to include the “FirstPlay” content for free on the Blu-ray Disc(s) then please ignore any suggestion that the subscription to the Magazine should be increased

PS. Can you purchase previous “FirstPlay” editions retrospectively? That is, can you buy, for example, the first two editions now we are in week three (heading towards week four)? If a subscription was purchased today presumably the first edition available would be Episode 3. Is that the case?

Thanks for your comments.

BFN,

fp.

i will be subscribing because of this episode! good stuff

@9 – More fool you, then. Lmao.

No offense but what’s the point of buying it if you’re not giving away free stuff?

and @xYLeinen: and we get to wait for all the stuff America gets first, we don’t have it good either

Is this GT5 preview going to feature anything new, or is it the same info that we’ve known about for ages?

is this never before seen footage?

The picture of GT5 says “ETA: Winter 2010″

can we expect FirstPlay to be available in Nordic countries soon too? I would buy it at a high price!

please stop ignoring the smaller countries or at least give us a good reason why the rest of Europe can’t get it, also why we don’t have the video store yet.

Nathan said: “unless that dream I had where all our PlayStations grew tiny legs and ran away comes true”

At the rate sony are removing features from the PS3 this may not be so far from the truth

GT5: Winter 2010.

why no free version like the ones with Christina Lee in de US??
(she is hot btw )

Minted gt5 and socom 4 cant wait for that

No confirtmation so far that the GT5 stuff is new, pretty sure that means no, which they cannot say because no GT fan would buy that episode then.

I don’t care whether the GT5 footage is new or not – it’s the FirstPlay team’s perspective on stuff I buy it for.
And as for the lack of DLC so far, they’ve said in previous weeks that there won’t be stuff every week – so not sure why everyone’s kicking off about that.
Nath / Tim – keep up the good work

Almost Everything in Firstplay has been new.
So why wouldn’t GT5? of course It will be.

Keep up the good work Firstplay, really enjoying it.

PS: Bring back the Singstar feature from the Beta

no dlc?

I dont understand why Microsoft with the Xbox 360 can release content for “all” countries is Europe at the same time and Sony with the Playstation 3 have so much trouble?

I kinda dont care about excuses anymore, just get a grip Sony.

GT5 Preview! XD
GREAT! =P
Defo buy for me then, also with news of Sony’s new PS Move TECH! XD
LOVIN IT PLAYSTATION MAGAZINE UK! =D

@ fp – “Are there any plans to include the “FirstPlay” content on the cover-mounted Blu-ray Discs issued with the “Official PlayStation Magazine UK”, Mr Ditum?”

ps: winter 2010

There is not even a Video store in Finland… go sony… time to catch up with the rest of the world.. i would so buy it if it came out over here but no..

Winter 2010…….
So no GT5 before november?

Can’t believe some of you have got the minerals to say say its not worth buying without free stuff, its only 99p stop being such tight asses and buy it. Your only giving up 2 mars bars for all this content fat boy.

Im dont understand what screenshot means. would they be shots when someone is playing the game not (cut scenes). Or could they be any shots taken from the game which would include cut scenes and when the player is actuarely firing at an enemy. sorry for my bad spelling. thank you

@LarZen Frustration shared! >_>

How will I ever get my friends to buy a ps3 when there is no PSN content for it compared to xbox 360?!? :p

@ S-Cript:
She is and she has a sweet voice…… but you should listen to her presenting Dantes Inferno. What a combination lol.

@xYLeinen: preach it, brother. Norway is woefully underrepresented with exclusive content. Where, for instance, is the patch for Valkyria Chronicles that places Norway in the middle of the world-map? Nowhere to be seen, that’s where! I demand satisfaction, Sony!

..seriously, though. For the kind of content that’s aimed primarily at the +15 years group, and has short shelf-life.. like First Play, or promo videos, etc – there’s really no discussion to be had here. There is interest for it in the Nordic countries, and most of Europe. It’s been a while since not localising content meant alienating the audience…. if you sent pop-tunes on the radio, or something like that. And this is for more actively sought content anyway. So pushing this over with minimum localisation, and then perhaps reserving some extra service for specially popular content…? That sounds like a winner to me.

..and I mean, you realise that even people who actually own a ps3 rarely know which titles specifically have localisation anyway? R&C for example has extremely, fantastically good localisation for Norway, and several other languages. They’re extremely carefully done, with careful language, and references that the age-group it’s targeted for will understand – and you don’t know that from looking at the box in the store, or browsing the playstation web.. So Sony could prioritize a bit different, yeah?.. And promote the things that are localised. Without needing to hold back all the content that isn’t (and never will be if it’s short term, like FP)… Just saying..

@Nathan – “We have to decide how/if the content should be localised”

I think i speak for all of the nordic countries when i say : We speak and we understand english very, very well. And especially us gamers who thrive ourself in content which is in english – from blogs, videoreviews, podcasts and so on, all of which are in english. Please, dont make us “suffer” because the french, italians and germans are ignorant. Take this to reconsideration when you think of the nordic region.

Have a nice day man.

@Waypoetic

The germans are speaking and understand english as well -.-

Yeah, what the…?

dont bother localising. only those who will understand it will buy it anyway so theres no point wasting time, jus release it across europe asap!

I think Sony forgets that overall people who are gamers and users of playsation 3 in Europe would preferably want to get the content in English. Ps3 is not the “family” console yet.

Do we actually need to make a petition “Yes people in Europe speak english so we demand the equal content as UK and USA” for Sony to listen? >_>

please bring the firstplay to the netherlands! And please Sony don’t make the mistake by thinking 90pct of the dutch players want their stuff in dutch language.. English sounds better way better and the very most of the dutch gamers play their games in English cuz the translation always sound lame (though very nicely done). keep the translation money in you pocket and bring the english firstplay to all the other stores. Learn from MS and bring the content soon and fast in english and let the people decide if they want it or not. you’ll have al lot of subscribers in the netherlands when you bring firstplay to us.

guys you seriously need to turn this how VIDZONE is but for subscribers only that way theres more motivation to subscirbe since you will have all the episodes in one place and in one program streamed

seriously if you did first play 2.0 like this it would be one of the best features on ps3 just like vidzone is

Yeah one more vote for english only content! Bring it on!

When POLAND?????????????????????????????????

If you subscribe to the 3 months its less than 99p per episode……….so stop your moaning.
I felt a little bit dissapointed these last 2 weeks with there being no DLC but i guess i can get over that.
Keep up the good work guys….GT5 looks sweet!!!
