PlayStation Network 6/7: Nothing But Trailers




Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: PlayStation 3, Trailers,

DescriptionEach Monday, Wii owners get a few games added to the Virtual Console. Sure, they’re not always the greatest games, but occasionally you’ll find a gem in there and maybe something that holds some nostalgic value. Each Wednesday, Xbox 360 owners typically get at least one Live Arcade game – which, as of late, have been pretty damn good. But PlayStation 3 owners aren’t quite as lucky; this week they don’t even get a demo. Instead, all they have to look forward to when connecting to the PSN are four trailers.

  • Heavenly Sword “Gamer’s Day 2007” Trailer (free): Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful, and delivering unprecedented dramatic character performance, Heavenly Sword showcases the PS3 system’s power. Check out the new trailer for this much anticipated title, straight from Sony Computer Entertainment America’s recent Gamer’s Day media event.
  • MLB 07 The Show (PS3) Video (free): The best-selling baseball franchise is now available for PS3! This season we’re proud to introduce a slew of new features including: Road To The Show, Adaptive Pitching Intelligence, Online League Play, Pitch Command System and unique Umpire Personalities.

  • Stranglehold Trailer (free): Continue the story of John Woo’s influential action film, Hard Boiled, starring Chow Yun-Fat. Engage your enemies in intense cinematic gun battles and cause extensive environmental damage using a full arsenal of deadly weapons. Hard Boiled will also be included in its entirety on the Blu-ray disc.

Comments:

It’s a lot of work to maintain an online presence.  When you think about it, having an original game or two a week, or other add-on DLC requires development and planning.

Microsoft took time to ramp up their offering, and really has been working at this since the original Xbox.  The 360 just brought it to another level.

Nintendo hit the ground running by offer legacy games weekly, but has released limited original content outside of that.

So I think Sony is just trying to put together a strategy and get content into their pipeline.  Eventually it will come together, but I think in the short term we’ll see sporadic content.
