PSN Update 10/11/07- Everyday Shooter, Ratchet and Clank demo, etc.

I will update when the full list gets available, but today is already a great day for a PSN update seeing as how we get Everyday Shooter, the demo for Ratchet and Clank, and the demo for Conan.

Everyday Shooter will retail for $9.99

It features 8 levels, and has been compared to Rez in that your actions in the game effect the music:

In celebration of the Ratchet and Clank demo I made an XMB wallpaper for the game:

I'm really looking forward to playing the Ratchet demo tonight. EGM not-so-cryptically said this about the game: In taking a step back, Ratchet has taken a big step forward. I'm assuming this means the new game is similar to the original and a huge departure from the underwhelming Deadlocked. In other words, more platforming, same awesome, evolving weapons.

You know the feeling when you forget the release date of a demo for a great game? I just had it. Thanks for posting this and also thanks for the wallpaper. Great job.



EDIT: What's the size of the demo?
I am definitely looking forward to R%26C tonight. The PSN has been on fire for abouta month now.

I hear that today's demo is of a more recent build... um... which means I'm a better person than you are.

Everyday Shooter is pretty incredible... So far this is my favorite of these kinds of games... it is much more laid back, and visually stunning.
Cool I'll DL the Ratchet demo, I've been looking forward to playing it.

The graphics are just plain freaky (especially that stage with the expanding eye which is always looking at you).

Don't get me wrong, I really like SSHD, it is just a little too hectic for my personal tastes.  I also really like the chaining system in Everyday Shooter.
I was happy to see the Ratchet demo when I turned on my PS3 a while ago. I'm downloading it now.....hopefully it won't take forever. After I see what Ratchet is all about I'm going to download Everyday Shooter. I've been waiting patiently to play this game. I think the fact that 1 guy made it makes me intrigued to see how the game is.

He seems like a pretty nice guy too... this is a note he left in the game that is accessible from the main menu:

''In the Spring of 2005 I started work on what I called ''the new game''.  It was supposed to provide maximum replayablility and gameplay depth through ingenious game design innovations, but instead it was a complicated mess of rules and controls that were neither fun nor understnadable.  Somehow I lost myself in a ridiculous concocton of self-indulgent, games-are-art-theory-innovation wankery.  Truth is, the only things that mattered were the games that inspired me to make games in the first place.

Thus began my journey back to the roots of my gaming youth: the top-down-shoot-em-up.  From the c!assic shooters of yore to today's modern interpretations, I studied the works until I realized that even the simplest of things can be the most beautiful of things.  Armed with this little pieceof knowledge, I finally understood how to make the game I truly wanted to make.

A few months later Everyday Shooter was born.

I owe a lot to the inspirational work of Kenta Cho, Kanta ''Omega'' Matsuhisa, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, and countless others in the freeware community.  If this game is worth anything, it is because it was built on the shoulders of thiose giants.  I hope so dearly that I can repay my debt to them by inspiring someone else out there to create something greast.

Have fun, and good game!

It is similar to Geometry Wars.
R%26C is just like the first R%26C except in HD. Considering the ps2 R%26C titles already have very high visual production values (which did wear off pretty fast), the ps3 version doesn't really seem like much of an improvement. Everything still looks, feels, and plays the same.

I couldn't disagree more... I was just coming in here to talk about how absolutely blown away I was by how great this looks.  This is the first Ratchet I've ever played, but after seeing this game in action it won't be the last.
