I'd be really surprised if it wasn't. The other big Rockstar games were all ported AFAIK.

Sony announced this at their E3 conference, so I'm pretty sure that it's happening.

Anyway, I recently picked up the 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time while on vacation. It's pretty good so far, so I'm glad that I actually have something to do this summer.

I just started play Demon's Souls today. I really like the combat system, the story is kinda just there, and it's frickin hard.

Talk about bull****... If you buy a game used you have to pay to be able to use online services. Also, I'm not sure why you would rent a game with this.

Kirby 07-07-2011 12:08 AM

It's not bull. I don't know much about the PSN one, but I know with EA's, it's the game companies trying to get money from games that they should rightfully make. I have no problem with it.

They make NO money off of used game sales.
Also, you could rent, because places like Blockbuster do not take the codes out of the boxes.

debaserr 07-07-2011 12:15 AM

It's a one time use code for the PSN thing, don't know about EA.

For $60 per game you should be buying unlimited use of the game.

Kirby 07-07-2011 12:18 AM

Thats not the problem. You get unlimited use, once you use the code, that comes with the full game.

If you buy it used (not full price) the company (EA, THQ, Sony, whoever) missed out on a sale of the game, and the only way to make money is on the code. Because they make literally NO money on the used sale prices.

Personally, I think it's fair.

debaserr 07-07-2011 12:27 AM

Making online available to 1 person isn't unlimited use.

Don't get me started on downloadable content pricing.

Sparky 07-07-2011 09:45 PM

Making games is so unbelievably expensive these days many smaller studio's end up having to close if they're game doesn't sell well.

I can totally understand why developers are trying to fight used game sales, especially with Gamestop being so predominant.

I think they're best bet however is to adopt a steam model or downloadable distribution, which is happening more on PSN, but unfortunately because of Microsofts limitations, isn't as easy on XBL.

I think it will be the primary distribution method come next gen/
