PSN Thursday: The Punisher will shock you to your Qore

by Jem Alexander { Jul 2nd 2009 at 5:00PM }

Punisher: No Mercy has been released, alongside the latest episode of Qore and the normal amount of DLC. PSP fans can choose from a selection of new games, including Capcom Classics Collection Remixed. There are also some more PS3 and PSP themes and some Rock Band Unplugged DLC.

Well, isnt this something

Xoonaka @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:06PM

What, no Trine?! It's a sad day.

Vidikron @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:48PM

Seriously. We have the holiday weekend coming up and I'm going to have guests over for the weekend... a perfect time for some local co-op. Mistake, IMO.

Geist @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:44PM

Do remember that America is not the world. Plus, the July 4 weekend would be the worst time for video games, because while a bunch of people will be playing them, I'd assume that most won't.

That said, I do wish it would come out already.

The Dark Wang(Ohyeahcola in disguise) @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:08PM

I want The Punisher and I'm a subscriber to Qore so I wonder whats free this month?

ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:09PM

Quantum of Solace Camille Map pack ($4.99)

While I really liked this game and play it every now and again, I didn't think enough people played it to warrant some more maps.

Snyderman @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:18PM

Funny thing is.. the multiplayer stopped working after an update came out for the game today... I just got this game yesterday.. >_

supakoopa @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:11PM

Still Alive isn't free? That's kind of disapointing. I'll buy it anyways though.

R2P2 @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:00PM

I can't find Still Alive in the PS Store or the in-game one, so either they changed their minds or Canadians aren't allowed to have it.

evan @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:13PM

it's not available in the states either.

TheBrainninja @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:17PM

I've held off on re-subscribing to Qore, because I got an email saying something about staying tuned for a re-subscription offer...must now check my archives to see if something slipped through my fingers.

Kodros @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:27PM

I haven't seen mine either.

TheBrainninja @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:30PM

If you go into the Playstation Store, there's a special re-subscription deal in the Qore category for $19.99, which I think is $5 off the normal price.

psdeuce @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:19PM

Fallout 3 DLC where are you!!!???

robert @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:22PM

I know, thats two weeks delay for no apparent reason!

Come on Bethesda!

Xoonaka @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:27PM

Is it really done already? I was under the impression it was still being worked on, and it almost seemed like they hadn't started until after the announcement.... although, to be honest, I haven't been paying close attention since I plan on trading in the original and picking up the GOTY edition later with all the DLC on disc...

JoeTheBlow @ Jul 3rd 2009 7:50AM

Be aware that your Fallout save game will almost certainly not work with a new disc with a new BLES number.

j.howlett @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:21PM

i got the sacktue of liberty. i want to try the punisher but i need to save money and space

Haohmaru (PSN - DimmuBurgerKing XBL - A Real Puppet ) @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:21PM

Never heard of "Ruby Song" by Rancid. Maybe you guys mean "Ruby Soho?"

Luke @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:27PM

DESTINATION UNKNOWN RUBY RUBY RUBY RUBY SOHO[ng?]

Kleptomaniac @ Jul 2nd 2009 8:50PM

Ah thats 2 good songs i'd love to play if I owned guitar hero!

Oh well, I guess i'll just go play them in my real punk band..

WREturns @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:22PM

What is Qore, exactly?

Viglin @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:30PM

@WREturns

Think electronic magizine with free demos, free games, beta invites...and game reviews etc.

And has any Qore subscriber got the email about a discount, cause l just checked and havent.

Sly @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:49PM

and if you get a subscription ($25 a year), you get some pretty cool bonuses every once in a while. i got calling all cars free, the socom beta free, the resistance 2 beta free, syphon filter (PS1) free... you get the idea.

WREturns @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:16PM

I was asking an honest question, what's up with the downvotes?
(Thanks Vigilin and Sly!)

tmacairjordan87 @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:30PM

So how bad is the Punisher game? I'm pretty bored so I am considering getting it if it isn't downright awful.

KenSharp @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:04PM

tmac,

I was thinking the same thing, I'm not so much 'bored', but wouldn't mind a mindless FPS to toy around with for the long weekend ahead. And as long as the game isn't dreadful, I'll plop down the 10 spot for it...

Viglin @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:31PM

From my Euro friends lm hearing its rocking...and for 10 dollars, seems like a steal to me.

linebeginstoblur @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:33PM

So there are no specials for those who subscribed on day 1? I'm fine with paying $25 again, but still, I was expecting some kind of special. I might wait a week to buy this just in case.

linebeginstoblur @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:45PM

Didn't even take a week. Just got an email about $5 off a subscription ($19.99), along with a code for $5 off Uncharted 2 at Amazon.com.

Even if you never access Qore, you really, really should buy it. They spoil the crap out of their users.

Viglin @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:34PM

@Linebegins.

I beleive we get like a $5 discount.

Paul @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:39PM

CHeeseandrice!. Hey sony, if you want to boost Qore subscriptiions and make everyone happy, then how about a free game for every new annual subscription sign up. and how about a free game that we dont have yet like....punisher no mercy. 10 dollars off the anual sub plus a new new game would entice a huge amount of sony fans to subscribe. .....Help us help you.....

develintales667 @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:18PM

Sure, they give you a 10$ game and 10$ off their 25$ product for resubscribing .... dude, if that were the way they make business, I wouldn't not surprised seeing them going out of business 2 years ago. Yeah, that would be so bad that they would go bankrupt retroactively.

Tim Parsons @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:29PM

,.? You say that as if Qore has never given out for games. High Volecity Bowling, Spyro(PS1) , Calling All Cars, hmm crap I know there's 1 or 2 others but I can't remember right now, plus a Crap load of Betas

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:25PM

Damn you Sony and your lack of pre-cards.

I wanted to buy Crash Commando and perhaps punisher but since I don't have points and giving my credit card info is out of the question I guess I'm screwed,I hope Sony's new store at least have some.If I ever find the mythic pre-paid cards I going to buy 100$ worth of points.

I really wanted all that LBP DLC,well at least I get a free costume.

eNrique @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:50PM

Where the heck do you live?

Also, why do you fear about paying with a credit card?
IT'S 2009 FOR GOD's SAKE

Btw; I have made 30+ purchases on the Store and I haven't a had a single problem with my card.

Levi @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:26PM

Are Guerilla Games ever going to do a campaign expansion for Killzone 2, or should I just sell my copy and wait for the sequel...?

Sly @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:39PM

you might as well sell it if you've gotten all you can get out of it. i just use it to show off my bitchin TV to guests when they come over.

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:46PM

I wouldnt expect any single player DLC...I'll buy it off of you for $20 and give to my lil brother....lol

sony boy @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:37PM

monster hunter freedom unite not here?!?!?!BS.

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 2nd 2009 6:44PM

Something tells me Punisher will be free in Qore a few months down the road(or "Free" from Sprint ¬_¬)......but if its REALLY good I'll end up buying it. Just have to wait for the PS Nation Review on it next week....

But This is pretty damn good update.....

juliusdeane (Jarret) @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:24PM

I wish the Camcom remixes were for PS3, also. And $10.

BornToBurn @ Jul 2nd 2009 7:25PM

Well, if you like Unreal Tournament but always thought "This would be so much better if these guys were Punisher characters" then I do believe this one's for you. 'Cause it just feels like UT was modded to fit into the Punisher universe. I'm diggin' it so far.
