This is why you probably gonna have to pay a lot of money to equip your avatar with Adidas shoes and D&G sunglasses and shit like that. The difference between Home and SecondLife shouldn't be too big.

First screenshots of Home seem to indicate it's a gathering of hipsters, it's only fitting they wear Adidas and D&G.

I wonder if Sony will ban players violating a certain fashion code from their service. "Sorry, only cool people allowed!"

Theres no way to describe the FolksSoul demo other than "Amazing."

Is it available in the PS3 online store? I am not at home so I'm unable to check!

Only on the Japanese store, but it is possible to create a Japanese account.

Hey dude, that's a cool link, thanks! I like how they discuss that TV's size in the comments.

Yeah, FolksSoul is great. Set for a September/October 2007 release date here, but it'll be in Japan by the end of the month.

The fighting is amazing and it uses the SIXAXIS well. When you collect the Ids of the monsters you fight (getting them to something called a Dizzy Point, at about 50% HP), you have to shake the SIXAXIS and magical arms will sprout from you and attempt to absorb the Id into your body. It's a great visual effect.

The FMVs aren't quite up to par with a lot of PS3 games but the gameplay is great and the environments are really vivid and beautiful. It reminds me a lot of what I'd imagine a Harry Potter or other extremely magical world to look like.

I really hope that they don't mess this game up because I'm probably looking forward to it more than I am Heavenly Sword right now.

I tried that out (thanks for the link!), man the Japanese store got so much more. Heh, even tried the PSP connectivity for downloadable demos to the PSP, pretty neat. Heh, and we you can even download the DMC4 trailer, looks great on the TV, giving me a better idea of how it'll look when I'll play it. Hmmm, can't wait till the demo hits the store.

EDIT: Haha, just saw the Summer Holiday 20th Century 3 trailer too. That game looks pretty fun, might have to import that, assuming it'll never see the light of day on these shores.

That FolksSoul game is pretty bizarro, man! It's nice, though, not something that made me go "WOW!" but it was a nice experience. The Everybody's Golf 5 demo, however, is awesome. It's extremely fun to play, the graphics and details are just neat and I think I played it like ten times in a row today :)

The FolksSoul demo doesn't really go that far since a demo for an RPG is eh. But if you ever get the chance check out the trailers or interviews on IGN for a real treat. I can't wait for it.

Yeah, well, it's a nice demo to test the SIXAXIS feature, but other than that, it's pretty much useless to me, that MIGHT be because I don't understand what the fuck they're saying, too.

I know that this is probably nothing new for you guys but I have to say it.

After watching the new Stranglehold LE trailer and I heard that the LE disc will contain both the game and Hard Boiled on the BR-DVD I was just like, "F*** YEAH! Blue Ray ROCKS!", Honestly though to get a next-gen game and a full and possibly even 1080P movie on one disc is simply unbelievable. MAn... can't wait. ^^

Just made a Japanese account and tried out that FolkSoul game. It's like Alice In Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz. The fighting is pretty fun and kind of unique. I like it. I didn't know what the fuck was going on, though.

After playing this game, one thing that I noticed that bugs me about some games is the character animations when they are running. When you're moving in one direction and then take a 90 degree turn at full speed, I want them to react to that sudden change in motion. I don't know. It's just a little something that I think could make a game look more 'next-gen'.

Version 1.81 didn't really get us anything exciting, no? However, I notice that ALL my PS2 games are 100% compatible now which is awesome to the max. Now I can play Burnout Revenge with WHEELS on my car (wasn't possible before)

Yeah. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went and did the proxy hack so I could download the Warhawk beta. Everybody with a PS3 needs to get this game. The flight controls are fucking messed up, but once you get used to them this game is nothing but fun.

Pfft... wheels are over rated. lol

Good to hear though. Seeing how you're in Germany guess that means you have a PAL PS3? If that is the case, it's nice to hear that Sony gave the same committment to Europe like they did for the U.S. about backwards compatability.

Yes I do. My PS2 game collection isn't that large, but I suppose that most important games should be 100% compatible now.

damn it I guess I was really not meant to get the warhawk demo, I can,t even get the proxy setting to work...

edit: oh great! I finally manage to download that beta!, warhawk here I come XD

Glad to hear you finally got it working. That's awesome. I can't believe I didn't find out about this proxy hack until yesterday. We only have a little over a week until the beta servers shut down :(.

It also looks like they finally released a patch for the game, which I believe fixes a lot of those freezing issues people were having before. It hasn't happened to me yet *knocks on wood*.

EDIT:
I just downloaded a game off of the Japanese store. It looks like two cartoon cats with a video camera and a microphone...? Anyways, I go to play it, and all I get is a clock and a loading screen / download screen, and CHRIST it takes forever. I always shut the game down before it an finish because the wait is so unbearable. I guess I don't really know what it is doing. Does anybody have any idea what the hell this is?

Oh I downloaded that too! Mainichi Issho, yea I get stuck at that screen as well. From what I hear you can read the daily news, or get a daily news feed in the game. Anyway, has anyone been able to get it working?

Anyone interested, I took some photos today of the new playable code of Lair and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for my blog.

Whole entry.

An older entry with Heavenly Sword pics.

Uh, wait? I think that its probably downloading all of the older news issues, which is about 100-150 episodes, so sit tight. I have it working, I don't play it much since I can't read that fast, but it works.

lol , I downloaded the warhawk beta illegally last week and today, I just got officially accepted in the beta XD The beta appeared in my pstore with the weekly update XD

How do you download it illegally? And how did you apply for it? Are beta test applications open again?

there were open like one months ago and I registered for it, but they close the registration pretty soon I think it was open like 2 or 3 days max.

and look for a post by bluebomber higher in this page, there's a link that explain how to download it with a proxy.
