Title: Re: PSN $1 Flash Sale - Easter Weekend Only
Post by: brob on April 18, 2014, 05:35:24 PM: I really like Tokyo Jungle. Only bad part about the game is how it's structured to get you to go back and forth between the different modes and how utterly slow unlocking clothing & equipment is.
Title: Re: PSN $1 Flash Sale - Easter Weekend Only
Post by: demi on April 18, 2014, 05:50:38 PM: I bought:

Tokyo Jungle
Crash 1, 2 (3 actually shows up for $6, but if it gets fixed I will buy it)
Spyro 1, 2, 3
Gex Enter the Gecko

Title: Re: PSN $1 Flash Sale - Easter Weekend Only
Post by: chronovore on April 18, 2014, 07:50:52 PM: Stuntman Ignition was a THQ title; I've been wondering lately -- when a company which has gone out of business still has titles on a digital marketplace, who gets that money?

Did anyone buy the rights to this at THQ's clearance auction?
Title: Re: PSN $1 Flash Sale - Easter Weekend Only
Post by: Takao on April 18, 2014, 09:11:12 PM: Sony's listed as the publisher on the store, but they're listed as the publisher on a lot of PS2/PSone games.

2 maybe. I love the first games simplicity but 2 adds and refines so much more. 3 starts adding in more and more stuff like friends and skateboarding and so on...

Post by: Raban on April 18, 2014, 10:12:43 PM: Yeah I am tempted to get Gex as a fan of Crystal Dynamics but I'm not totally sure. I don't remember being too jazzed by it when I played it as a kid. Ditto with the Spyro games.

My haul is:
Tokyo Jungle
Crash 2 and 3 (already had the first)

Right stick doesn't matter, it'd still be emulating the D-pad of the PSP. :yuck

I'm honestly surprised they haven't done a version of Ape Escape for that system. Double so since it was the "killer app"/game that showed the potential of dual-analog on the PSX.

Shame what happened to that series. Ape Escape is the best 3d plat former on the system and remains a classic game. It is better than Crash, Spyro, and others. When it came out it was fresh and really different and everyone played it. Then the sequels come out and for some reason they don't sell as much? I was never sure why. Advertising?

The Ape Escape monkey will always be my ideal Sony mascot.

Title: Re: PSN $1 Flash Sale - Easter Weekend Only
Post by: magus on April 20, 2014, 11:09:00 AM: ape escape was one of my favourite series, especialy number 2 which comes with a truckload of bonus materials like concept artwork,mini games, even 4 panel comics, another casuality of wacky jap caused by next gen :japancry

and ape escape 3 came with his own metal gear parody (http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/sadbron.png)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAa36pkhP4k

did i mention it's longer and more representive of metal gear solid than ground zero? :teehee

Post by: cool breeze on April 20, 2014, 12:34:46 PM: yeah, ape escape was a great series. some of the most creative games out there. it's been nearly 10 years since the last proper game. I blame knack.

and I haven't played the psp ape escape since around the psp's launch, but I remember the controls reminding me of the nintendo 64 zelda games. face buttons were treated like the c-buttons.

Me too, breh, but if my memory serves Ape Escape 2 and 3 didn't sell all that well. I'm curious about the PSP game too, I'm not as worried about the controls as I am the smaller levels and constant load times (which might be alleviated in the PSN version). Hopefully it goes on sale at some point.

I got it for Spyro 2, Spyro 3, and Stardust. Deleting and redownloading Spyro 2 fixed that one. That did not work for Stardust, but it did work when I left the store and went into Account Management to redownload it. Nothing works for Spyro 3.

I am also unable to play Disc 2 of the MGS Legacy Collection (it will not install the update and if you cancel the update it hardlocks the PS3), but Disc 1 works just fine.

Steam is way better about it than Sony but they've been a consistent target over the years. In 2011 hackers got access to Steam's customer database (http://techland.time.com/2012/02/13/steam-hack-worse-than-thought-three-months-later/) which includes user names, billing addresses, credit cards, etc. but Valve never confirmed if the hackers actually stole anything (PROTIP: THEY ALWAYS DO).
