PlayStation Store “App Store” Official

July 15, 2009 by MegaClank Playstation Store No Comments

Now that Sony is jumping on the download-only train, it’ll have to have some tracks to go on. Those tracks are filled with full games being developed by studios, not just large and small games, but “snackable” games. As small as 20MB.

Why would the PlayStation Store need a new section for these smaller titles? Because with Apple’s App Store, selling most games for $0.99 is too much of a decline from the $10-$20 for PSP games. It will mostly be tailored for the PSPGo, but will also be available via the PS3.

“It is still a professional environment, you still need a development kit and you still need to have investment and a team,” he told the site. “But it can be a small team. We don’t see any of the restrictions on the disc-based space being in this space.”

Already 50 stuidos have been confirmed to be working on apps and small games right now.

Sony is really taking some leaps and bounds with the PSP as of late, let’s just hope this renewed energy hype and willingness to keep it going will work and the PSP/PSPGo will be successful.

There is something delightful about the charming simplicity of Popcap’s titles, and Plants vs Zombies continues this legacy. Much like Peggle and any of its past franchises, Plants vs Zombies takes a single round to comprehend all of its basic rules. Though it never becomes difficult [...]

Matt Hazard: Blood Bath & Beyond Review

The original Matt Hazard had the potential to be a great game, good voice work with the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and Will Arnett. A brilliant backstory and marketing campaign which broke the fourth wall entirely, and the story while thin was entertaining and amusing. The sole problem came in the gameplay department which [...]

SB Plays The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

When the newest entry in the beloved Zelda series was announced earlier this year, people were both excited and skeptical. How well would a train in the Zeldaverse go over with fans? Would the gameplay be a replay of Phantom Hourglass, with its infamously numerous trips through the Temple of the Ocean King?
Now that the [...]
