Also, Trophies! Posting on the official PlayStation Blog (they let anybody on there these days), Hothead producer Joel DeYoung confirmed that the first episode of Penny Arcade Adventures would arrive on PSN before the end of the year, complete with Trophy support and 1080p resolution. "Looking back, I think it's a shame that we weren't able to release the PS3 version closer to the initial launch of the game," he said.
With the game's engine now up and running on the hardware, DeYoung expects that future episodes will arrive on Sony's platform in a more timely fashion. No more being left out in the cold, our monolithic friend.

Anonymous agrees with you.

It comes down to one thing it seems. You either like Penny-Arcade or you don't. If you don't like them you probably won't like the game.

You hated this game? i loved it, and don't regularly read penny arcade, i thought the graphics were beautiful, the battle system was fun, and the jokes were quite laugh out loud. i'd say give it another try, betches

It's funny that it's "Special" when PS3 games have trophies. So revolutionary of them...
I actually earned my first Trophy last night

It's like NBC's motto...
"If you haven't seen it, IT'S NEW TO YOU!"
At least, I think it was NBC... or CBS... or ... TV...

Its because it isn't a requirement for games to have trophies yet, so some/most of us are interested in knowing what games do have them or not as it could be a deciding factor.
As for the game, I heard, unless your a Penny Arcade fan, this game is pretty naff, so I'm going to dodge it.
syrik zero @ Aug 28th 2008 7:06PM
Haha I guess you're right. 360 is awesome. I have a lot of points on there
syrik zero @ Aug 28th 2008 8:33PM
I don't have any friends on the PSN either. So I can't even compare myself to others. Anyone want to add me?

try comparing with the people on the players met on xmb. i have one friend with trophies and he recently got all the ones iin uncharted

This was probably the most boring game I played for the 360, unless you really love Turn-Based Combat RPGs I really cannot recommend this game to anybody. I bought it thinking Penny Arcade would actually make a decent game. Biggest waste of $20 ever.
Nate @ Aug 29th 2008 9:35AM
Many PS3 users love turn based RPGs, myself included. I didn't realize Precipice was a turn based RPG... that just about doubles my interest right there. I'm very happy this is coming to PSN and I'll be picking it up probably near day one. Can't wait.

Oh brilliant, they'll spend lots of time on the game, thereby making their crappy comic crappier.
All you PA fanboys are going to have to come up with more elaborate excuses than usual for justifying your votes on the weekly wrap-up.
Exo @ Aug 28th 2008 7:09PM
or you could just stop being a bitch?
Kersh @ Aug 28th 2008 7:10PM
I can't imagine they'd be putting very much work into the port. The game is already designed and written...
I don't understand the PA hate 'round these here parts, either. I find them funny.
Cesaria (www.cesariatic.wordpress.com) @ Aug 28th 2008 7:14PM
What is so unfunny about PA? Please, elaborate.
Top Cat @ Aug 28th 2008 7:34PM
Good one Exo, now sit in the corner while the grown ups talk.
Kersh, it's not that PA havn't had their moments, I just feel that they're long gone. They're a shoe in on the weekly webcomic wrapup simply because of their fanbase and not the individual strips.
They seem to be getting less and less original, relying on jokes done by others or even ones they've used before. Obviously originality is hard to keep when you're doing 2 strips a week for so long, but that excuse doesn't somehow make their comics good.
So me not finding PA funny is compounded by un-explanable fervor on the part of the PA fanboy, and that makes me an angry Top Cat.
Exo @ Aug 28th 2008 7:50PM
you are basically saying that everyone that likes it is wrong.
you are a fucking douche. thats is all.
tis cute though that you think you are all grown up and intellectual. but seriously, just cause you don't like it means they don't deserve the attention they get?
cry me a river
Top Cat @ Aug 28th 2008 8:18PM
"you are basically saying that everyone that likes it is wrong."
Nope, if you had read my comment correctly you'd see that i don't believe they should win the wrapup as often as they do.
I also laid out my reasons for not liking PA and why i get irritated by PA fanboys. Whereas you tried to refute my argument by calling me "a fucking douche".
Tis sad that you don't realise how childish that is. In any case, i'm going to bed. Maybe you should find another foul-mouthed kid to trade insults with.
Exo @ Aug 28th 2008 10:28PM
lol,yea sure. you have no real argument so you run away. thats all it is really. PA wins because tis funny, weeks where its not as funny it doesn't win.
its "funny" how that works huh?
fact still is you think people are wrong for liking it, its gets voted because people LIKE IT. what a fucking concept huh?
There have been many times where it hasn't won. and thats why you are a bitch.
and if you didn't notice, its only the little kids that go around and try and pretend they are more mature then other people.
so cowboy up top cat

You have a rapist wit, Ludwig.
Titanium_Orchid @ Aug 28th 2008 7:29PM
Do you mean "rapier?"
I don't think telling someone they have a rapist's wit is a complement
Sinister Rouge @ Aug 28th 2008 7:36PM
I think (hope) you meant "rapier".
Mr Khan @ Aug 28th 2008 7:38PM
It's a joke from somewhere. Some primetime sitcom. It may be Simpsons, but i'm probably wrong
j.howlett @ Aug 28th 2008 8:01PM
souds like something tobias might say on arrested development
Waqman @ Aug 28th 2008 8:59PM
Tobias Fumke is that you?
Ayrkain @ Aug 29th 2008 7:39AM
More like Lloyd Christmas
Cesaria (www.cesariatic.wordpress.com) @ Aug 29th 2008 4:12PM
It's from Dumb and Dumber.
Bass Masterson @ Aug 28th 2008 7:18PM
The game isn't bad, but you have to love the comic and the type of gameplay to love it. But ... doesn't that seem obvious?
Leobebes (BDF: Braid Defence Force) @ Aug 28th 2008 7:24PM
With Trophies! Holy Crap! Playstation has trophies now!? They must be better than Achievements!
Are trophies better than Achievements?
What do you think?
philmcphail @ Aug 28th 2008 8:25PM
Carefuls when sayings things like that. Them residents here may pounce on you like a cheetah.
lorddshadow @ Aug 30th 2008 3:28PM
i personally think they are great! the only problem is that they're either really hard (pixeljunk eden) or mostly really easy (warhawk)
Shagittarius @ Aug 28th 2008 7:24PM
"Now Shitting on 2 consoles."
Waqman @ Aug 28th 2008 8:58PM
Was this shit even any good? Eh too many PSN games this year anyways not to mention the fully fledged disc-games I have to worry about too.
Looks like Age of Booty, Fat Princess, Flower and Wipeout HD will satisfy my tastes. Won't miss this one at all.
Kenny @ Aug 28th 2008 10:58PM
Loved this game. Like everyone said, you have to enjoy the comic. If you do, it's a must buy. The humor enough is worth it.
Glad to see PS3 users will be able to get it.
