Where's my PES 2009??

At least we get something Valkyria Chronicles related.

Still no NBA live 09 demo this week. Guess Sony is holding out to push their NBA09 game. I see there is a PSP demo of it.

Ashley Mazillius @ Sep 18th 2008 4:18PM

Unlikely, the EU store has NBA Live 09 already, bit odd that we have it and a basketball-playing country doesn't!

drdre74 @ Sep 18th 2008 4:53PM

I'll have to check the EU store then because I don't remember seeing it on the list.

IMO the COD4 map pack is not worth it, I always skip the games that take place @'em

Jackson @ Sep 18th 2008 4:18PM

Where is Red Baron it was suppose to come out today.

Vincent @ Sep 18th 2008 4:24PM

I've been waiting for this game.

I was happy I got the day off so I could play it, but now....

Gambit07 @ Sep 18th 2008 4:19PM

Fracture demo any good?

stargateheaven @ Sep 18th 2008 4:25PM

I hated it.. But since it's free give it a try.

uh-oh polio @ Sep 18th 2008 5:33PM

that game.......SUCKS, but i figure 99% of people knew that it was gonna already

It was fun, the controls and music are spot on.

Lummox @ Sep 19th 2008 2:10PM

The terrain deformation mechanic was interesting and kind of fun to use. Some neat weapons (like the ST-4 "land torpedo"). I thought the controls were ok, but the graphics need a lot of work. They look really grainy and unpolished. I had a lot of graphical glitches running on the upper level of the jail cell rampways (looked like flickering between crouching while I was standing/running), and lip-synch wasn't great. Hopefully it's just a sign of the unfinished nature of the demo that will be cleaned up by release.

Not that I was even considering picking this title up anyway. Maybe if it were released in May when an average game like this might have had a chance...

What happened to Red Baron Arcade?

It was to come out Sept. 18th ???

I was looking forward to that game.

Here's the Red Baron Arcade Pics, even the article says Sept 18th.

Andrew Yoon @ Sep 18th 2008 4:36PM

Good question. I'll try to find out. Maybe they took some of my suggestions (for trophies and split screen multiplayer). Or not.

Gambit07 @ Sep 18th 2008 4:38PM

I doubt it will come out next week either, since WOHD is coming out next week.

Lars @ Sep 18th 2008 4:56PM

I hope it's delayed for polish. Also, I don't know if the demo video was true to the game or not, but the frame rate looked terrible. I usually don't care about frame rates, but in flight sims it's gotta be high. Makes it hard to track targets when the frame rate is low.
