There's another (free!) episode of Qore, the Killzone 2 Behind The Bullet demo and swarm-based tower defense title Comet Crash. Plus a standard helping of DLC, including the Patapon costume for LittleBigPlanet, which is mysteriously missing from the EU Store.

Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:21PM
i'll download the killzone 2 thing. it sounds really cool. the patapon costume is a definite purchase too.
Lars @ Apr 2nd 2009 8:33PM
Pata Pata Pata Pwn! Same here, I love Patapon (and LBP). And being a software engineer I'm very interested in checking out the KZ2 trailer BTS.
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 2nd 2009 10:55PM
sweet. patapon is such a great game. patapon 2 is great too but kinda hard.
Carlos @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:22PM
meh nothing good to check out IMO
anybody know if they arent releasing anymore addons for naruto UNS?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:29PM
that Behind the Bullet demo is hot shit.....
Too bad the Halo Wars Commercial wasnt rendered with the game engine...lol
itbekevin2010 @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:42PM
lol u have an underbite.
Dirty @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:44PM
I don't care what you say, the cut scene of the Spartans kicking ass was hot shit. I miss prerendered cut scenes sometimes. Like that clip of wolverine coming out of the water.
The killzone commercial was also hot shit. Just saying.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:58PM
LMAO!!!! right I have a slight overbite if anything.....how U can see an underbite in a pic that small I dont understand...
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:48PM
@dirty yea it does look pretty damn good....Pre-render is good on the PSP, Wii, DS, PS2 etc....but I just think the PS3 & 360 should use pre-rendered content sparingly if possible. We all see just HOW good things can look with Killzone 2, and the Screens from uncharted 2. I can only IMAGINE what FF13 will look like when it comes out this year...I am SOOOO going to import it from Japan...lol
WiredKnight @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:53PM
I hope Blizzard never stops making pre-rendered cinematics, they're consistently the best at it.
Sometimes it's more of a design decision than a matter of taste or technical limitations.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:01PM
The Best!?!?! Have you not Seen MGS4, Heavy Rain, or FF13???
hell I dont think ANYONE can touch Square with the Pre-rendered content....not even Pixar...
TreND @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:02PM
square enix is a lot better than blizzard IMO
Duke @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:20PM
Gotta join the bandwagon and say Square is pretty on top of pre-rendered scenes. Of course, MG4 had some great stuff too.
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:24PM
crisis core's prerendered cutscenes are the most beautiful things i have ever seen on a psp screen.
Bissy Boy (PSN johnnynumber5) @ Apr 2nd 2009 7:11PM
MGS 4 was all rendered with in game assets, I think.
WiredKnight @ Apr 2nd 2009 7:37PM
Yes. The best.
The space marine trailer for StarCraft 2 and the teaser for Diablo 3 is superior to anything else I've seen from a game company. Including FFXII. Perhaps you prefer the style of Square's rendering, but Blizzard's is far more impressive.
Also, suggesting MGS4 was hilarious. Not that MGS4 doesn't look incredible, but as Bissy said, it's all done with their real-time assets.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 7:43PM
so is what we have seen so far of Uncharted 2 & Heavy Rain....yet it looks as good or better than some pre rendered stuff...
WiredKnight @ Apr 3rd 2009 12:22AM
If that's the case, I've lost confidence in your technical knowledge of the subject.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 3rd 2009 12:24AM
are you saying that those real time rendered scenes dont look as good or better than some pre-rendered scenes??
Ronnie @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:37PM
um.. what happened to that PS3 update u guys reported about yesterday? The one with chat and all.. >:(
Vidikron @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:51PM
What are you talking about? Tt was release yesterday and most of us have it already
Anticrawl @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:37PM
Uhhh go under Settings click on System Update. Here is a picture to help you if it's that much trouble.

You know, if they charged $0.49 for those Little Big Planet costumes instead of $1.99 I would certainly purchase them in a heartbeat, even if I don't play LBP as frequently as other games.
I mean, it more than likely costs MM/Sony less than $0.49 to make one costume so they make profit no matter what.
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:46PM
the costumes are directed at people who like the franchises they're based on. i wouldn't pay for the wipeout costumes because i'm not too big of a fan of the series (even though pulse is great fun). but that patapon costume? i would buy it in a heartbeat. even if it was like $5.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:53PM
they make a killing off of those....they not gonna drop the price anytime soon..I do see in the future they may bundle like 20 outfits together for a discounted price....
CrashSpyro123 @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:42PM
No, you wouldn't buy them at $0.49 either.
Paranoid @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:43PM
Strange that its cheaper to buy the 3 Spongebob song individually than the pack....
Typo?
And noooo im NOT buying them, ok maybe :-p
Shadow_Modder @ Apr 3rd 2009 8:49AM
Just your two cents? I mean just two cents is the difference...
Paranoid @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:43PM
setting my password sorry
magtails @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:45PM
No Sonic Unleashed DLC?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:04PM
ROFLMAO!!!!
j.howlett @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:50PM
the behind the bullet thing is cool. i'll play with the analogs more later. i'm saving my lbp costume purchases for later, all together.
Roto13 @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:51PM
Sure, I'll have a free episode of Qore. Why not?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:05PM
didnt even notice that was free....lol...they trying to get subscriptions....
Roto13 @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:09PM
I know, right? Obviously the most successful products in the world are the ones that aren't marketed at all.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:23PM
ROLFMAO!!!
They could market it in better ways than that. i.e. do like MS and bombard us with ads as soon as we sign in...obviously it works or MS wouldnt do it. Would it piss me off?? yea it would but it may yeild better results for PSN products...
Roto13 @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:34PM
... Are you freaking kidding? You think Sony are marketing Qore badly by not being obnoxious with it?
... Is something wrong with you?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:48PM
nah. not at all. But I think if they advertised more on say gaming sites they would get more subscriptions than from just giving away so far 3 episodes for free. Well that and add better content
j.howlett @ Apr 2nd 2009 10:06PM
i've seen qore ads on this site and others
James @ Apr 2nd 2009 5:56PM
No Valkyria Chronicles DLC, still.
But excited (sort of) about the Killzone thing.
Popfrogs @ Apr 2nd 2009 11:52PM
Yeah after I beat VC I was itching to play more missions. The DLC should be coming in a month or two I think.
I guess I could always go back to replay the missions on hard mode and/or A-Class every mission.
linebeginstoblur @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:00PM
Killzone 2: Behind the Bullet is now a happy member of my little "Art" folder (along with Linger in Shadows and Mesmerize).
Anticrawl @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:14PM
Would love to download some of this stuff but apparently some crazy moderator banned me for typing in asterisks. Wasn't using profanity, was just typing in asterisks haha.
Anticrawl @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:15PM
So a note to everyone, moderators can't see filtered words. They just see asterisks and ban accordingly. Do not type in asterisks even as a joking manner. I was just typing in random numbers of asterisks.
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:23PM
mods in a specific game? or mods on the PSN in general?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:24PM
WTF!?!? you got banned from PSN for typing asterisks in Home??? LMAO!!!!
Anticrawl @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:25PM
Mods in @Home, and they ban you from any online activity except the web browser. I just called them and made them check the logs. They saw that I was just typing in asterisks, appologized and lifted the ban.
If you ever do have to call Sony be sure to use 1-800-345-7669 and keep hitting 0 until you get to talk with a human.
Sly (PSN slycooper_rocker) @ Apr 2nd 2009 6:37PM
ouch. good thing you got your online back.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 2nd 2009 7:13PM
wow thats crazy....was it meant to be a temporary ban or permanent??
I often times say stuff that get censored on home and its not even a bad word
