Patchwork Heroes is probably the most fun "budget" game concept I played on psp. It doesn't really have depth to last beyond a few hour game, but the concept of a score based puzzle game where you saw giant airships apart as they fly was very awesome. Hope those guys make another game.
And yeah, I see what you're saying. Even if all these "pick up devs off the street and pay them to make a game" titles are niche and don't sell much. If they make good games it suddenly adds another quality team to Sony's 1st party lineup and down the road building up a bunch of teams like that could be really really helpful.
Like you know, if the Patchwork Hero guys were busy making a Vita title right now.
Patchwork Heroes was made by Acquire. Acquire has been involved with these Vita games so far:
- Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen
- Sumioni: Demon Arts
- Orgarhythm
- Badman Calendar*
*= I don't actually know if Acquire is involved with this, but they made all of the PSP Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman/My Lord/No Heroes Allowed games with Sony.
Comparatively Acquire has made 1 3DS game, and it is a port of a PSP game... Acquire was recently purchased by Gungho, who is also a supporter of Vita via GameArts:
- Ragnarok Oddessy
- Dokuro
- Untitled Team Gajet Project
Compared to a grand total of 0 3DS games.
Cunting Disgaea 3 isn't on eurolands psn. What the shit Sony. Seriously, how about I spend my money on drugs, fine wines and Belgian chocolates for a beautiful lady instead?
It could be up Friday. I believe they've done that before as to not break UK (who releases games on Friday IIRC) street love
Nope, it's still fucking not. Honestly, the one ONE damn game I was remotely going to play with any longtime certitude was D3. It's as if Sony are a megalithic corporate behemoth, with a multitude of besuited business heads, more interested in oneupmanship than taking the brand forward.
What country do you live in? On GAF I swear I read someone said it was up this morning. Does your country usually get NIS games?
