SoldnerX coming to PS3(n) (improvements+thropies)

Post by opips2 »

From eastasiasoft

Soldner-X is targeted to hit the PLAYSTATION®Network in North America in October 2008,
with other territories including Europe and Asia expected to follow shortly after.

The PLAYSTATION®3 system version contains lots of improvements over the original 2007 PC version release, including but not limited to:

- Visual improvements including y-scrolling, new background animations, newly added effects and more
- Contains new enemies, including newly crafted standard foes and larger sub boss battles
- Additional boss battle and berserker mode background music (seven brand new tracks in total!)
- New sound effects added for an enhanced gaming experience
- Rebalanced game play with an easier default difficulty
- Rebalanced high score system, including new victory screens
- DUALSHOCK®3 and optional SIXAXIS™ support
- Trophies support

:shock: :D :) :o 8)

was this one geared at my comment? If it was, I'll add that I haven't payed $50 for the PC version, nor would I for a PS3 version. As it is, there are enough quality titles available on the PSN, that if it was a higher price, my money would probably go elsewhere. I think my willingness to pay $10 for this game is about right on spot, though I dunno maybe its not. If the devs think they can turn a higher profit with a higher price, more power to them.

Trophies are the PS3 equivalent of X-Box Live Achievements.

I think the game got patches and all and let's remember it came in a box, with the soundtrack and a bunch of crap whereas this one will be a digital download.

uhmmm, still they better patch it with something more before people yell for their $50s.

I think they should darken the graphics even more, so that the flashy (and much needed) effects shows better against the background. Of course, the designers of Space Invaders did one better by having the whole screen black. They really where ahead of their time back then.

I'm a big fan of PSN, and don't own a PC as I'm a Mac-wanker, so I'm delighted to get a chance to play this.

It seems ironic that a game partly funded at the development and marketing stage by an hufe online physical retailer is now seeing release as a download; the apparent end of physical retail.

The screen shots really remind me of T-Zero, for the Amiga. Has anyone played this on their PS3 yet? It's out today.

According to the official site, there is no release date set as of yet. IGN seems to be guessing...

IGN now has it listed as coming out on the 23rd of this month, so we'll see if that happens.

Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Trophies = gimmick. Most games don't have any, and the thing really is a pathetic attempt at copying achievements.

I do hope to play this game one day, as I'm on a Mac. For 10$ I might as well try it.
