PSN Thursday: The MGS4 Database, Fatal Inertia EX

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jun 19th 2008 at 6:30PM }

This week's PSN update delivers the MGS4 Database, a repository of information that should explain the MGS saga in great -- and hopefully simple-to-understand -- detail. Oh yeah, best part, it's free! Also being added this week is the racer Fatal Inertia EX and new Guitar Hero III tracks by Coldplay. Of course, the Rock Band DLC is there as per usual.

What happened to the Pain content that was coming today?

nxtiak @ Jun 19th 2008 8:16PM

Pain is up. Start the game and it'll download a 50 meg update.

tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 19th 2008 8:19PM

Yeah I did but I'm having that network error problem with the game that many others seem to be having. Guess they'll have to release a patch...to fix a patch.

I really wish they would start adding at least 1 ps1 game a week, or 2 every 2 weeks or something. Give us something to work with other than shitty syphon filter and crash bandicoot games Sony!

....Syphon Filter is awesome.... >_>;

So far MGS4 has underwhelmed me. I am about 6 hours into the game and it just doesn't have the "pop" I am expecting out this title. I am going to keep playing it. What am I missing? Am I the only one that thinks this? This title hasn't blown me away like COD2, COD4, GTAIV, Halo 3, BioShock, or even Gears of War. I know I am coming off as a 360 fanboy, but damn I was expecting this title to tell me this is why I have a PS3 too.

tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 19th 2008 7:14PM

No offense, but if halo 3 blew you away and MGS hasn't you're a lost soul basically.

ymode @ Jun 19th 2008 7:15PM

Vol keep playing you wont be disappointed

Vol @ Jun 19th 2008 7:18PM

The online play of Halo 3 is great.

Noshino @ Jun 19th 2008 7:28PM

"The online play of Halo 3 is great."

The single player campaing is nothing compared to MGS4 tho...

eugene @ Jun 19th 2008 8:03PM

There are some problems, imo, with the campaign... for instance, it bothers me to no end that the last two "missions" in MG are essentially button mashers. A huge let down after the very fun and varied boss sequence from the previous act.

But all in all, MG4 offers such a wide depth of missions, play styles and locations that it really shines.

DiRT @ Jun 19th 2008 8:05PM

Considering it's a different game, different genre, than all of those, you are probably expecting the wrong thing.

FOXHOUND @ Jun 19th 2008 7:11PM

Pretty big update. o_o!

PeterBeck @ Jun 19th 2008 7:12PM

Am I the only one excited for the Hail To The Chimp demo?

Nobody?

Huh. Oh well.

holliman @ Jun 19th 2008 8:32PM

Personally I just think they missed the laff riot boat by about 3-4 years on "BUSH IS A MONKEY LOL: The Videogame".

Double J @ Jun 19th 2008 7:16PM

Oh man, a Hot Shots Golf course? Time to load up the pain in the ass E-Wallet.

ymode @ Jun 19th 2008 7:17PM

how is using a credit card on psn a pain in the ass ? it couldn't be easier.

Kodros @ Jun 19th 2008 7:35PM

I could have swore that PSN use to have a $5 min. In other words, if you wanted to buy something for a dollar, you had to move in $5. But then I went and bought a single SingStore song for $1.49 the other day and it went through without having me to stick 5 bucks into my wallet. I like!
