I think he meant because we already got a release date, and that's come to pass.

Sony SUCKS.
There's no excuse for a delay this long for a PSN game.

It's not Sony's fault that Frozenbyte did not meet PSN's quality standards.
If they released it in the original form and it would freeze every 10 seconds with inconsistent framerate and console bricking, you would be happier, right?
Wow, that sentence didn't make any grammatical sense. Take that, grammar nazis!

The developer has said all along for months on their forums its all Sony's QA program that's delaying it, so I agree with the original posts. But Sony will just say its the developer, so conclusion is, both screwed up bad and I secretly hope the game does poorly although I will buy it day one.

@nightmare: You aren't very good at keeping secrets.
This game is a lot of fun, who cares if the release was fudged around with. It deserves to be successful.

@nightmare,
So just a second, you had to wait...what, a whopping two months for a game to come out on one platform versus another, and you're so pissed off about it that you are publicly wishing that the game fails, thereby hurting the dev and pubs who have worked hard to bring out what by all accounts is a fantastic title.
Get your priorities straight.

I really tried to enjoy Trine as a homage to old-school adventure platformers and to a large extent I succeeded, but those physics were reeeeeally half-assed. When such a big part of the game is obstacle manipulation via weight, friction, and balance, it's pretty surprising how slippery and random things feel. Like trying to build a lego structure out of half-melted ice cubes.
I'd be interested in seeing if they polish that feature up for the PSN release.

Waited for it.
Was longing for it.
Finally tried it (PC version), slightly disappointed (same reasons as freaparn)
Knew the price, more disappointed.
Still waited for it (but just as a curiosity).
Now tired of waiting, with October the big games time finally returns and Trine opportunity window is over. DOA.

Great, it finally comes out, but during the busiest single gaming month in my entire life as a gamer. F***in thanks, Sony QA, way to be on the ball.

I hope you're joking: by that logic, Sony are completely ON the ball since October is pretty quiet for me - just Brutal Legend and possibly Borderlands depending on reviews. So Trine is perfectly timed for an almost certain purchase.
Everyone likes different games, so there's not really going to be many months when it's a good time for absolutely everyone. Just be thankful it's finally coming out.

Anyone with a PS3 that doesn't get Uncharted 2 or RACF:ACIT makes me sad. Also, no beer and no TV makes me something, something...

Seriously... Uncharted 2 dude! Then again, there are plenty of threads about other big name titles that people would yell at me for not getting. I suppose the following should be said: just cause it's a big release doesn't mean everybody should have to buy it or like it.

So what's the correct pronunciation? Treen? Triiiine? Tren?

Posted: Oct 2nd 2009 1:52PM Dark Archon PSN Archonik XBL Dar said
Well.. Trine. It's not a har word to pronounce. o.O
You take a TRI from a TRI-force and finish up with an... um... "n".
Tri-n.

Seriously, I have been waiting for this games (and bashing the publisher in forums) since June, but finally get to buy it, its a more than decent game and its a great 2d platformer / hack-n-slash.

Yeah, and since when have US$ to Euro/ £GBP conversions ever been like for like. We europeans will pay the equivalent of $29 whilst the Americans will get a directly 'translated' price of $19.99. It works like this both ways.

Oops, bad month guys. I was even saving money in my PSN wallet for this. Well, the good news is that by the time I'll have the time to actually play it, it might be on sale or something. PSN does sales sometimes, right?

You must be right about me being a douche since this is probably the first time I've ever seen a comment of yours that wasn't already totally whited out by the time I got to read it.

No free trial, no potential to purchase. Sure there's a demo for the PC but I know I'm not the only one who doesn't have a gaming PC or is a PC gamer. Besides the controls will be different. All PSN games should have free trials just like how all XBLA and even Indie Games have free trials for every single one. So, if Trine does not have a free trial on the PSN, it will be another game overlooked.

Nobody said anything about a demo or lack of and that's why I said, if there's no demo there's no potential for purchase. I like getting my hands on games myself before buying them. This is why XBLA is so fantastic in every way because they give you free trials out the ying yang. Jump in.

I waited patiently for this game for the last two and a half months. After delays have cause it to NOT have a simultaneous UK and US launch, they lost my business. I was eagerly anticipating this game since it was announced, but there's no why Trine will ever see the light of day on my PS3 now, unless it can convince Uncharted 2, Borderlands, and Ratchet and Clank to delay for another month.

I feel the same way. Trine lost its window of opportunity. I'm probably not buying it until there's a price drop now. Which can be a very long time.
Before it was a Day 1 purchase for me, but with Uncharted 2 and other games coming, Trine's dropped way down my list to buy.

The developer says there's no XBLA version announced... yet!
I think it will eventually show up on XBLA, but in 2010. Maybe 2011 if Frozenbyte's release date track record is consistent.
