Nomura: "We'd like to put BBS on PlayStation Network buuuuuut..."

[madammina]

You can link games, somehow, and any PS1 games are available to be played on both systems but beyond that...

Also, link doesn't work.

Why is it that everytime I leave a link it doesn't work? You might as well go to Google and search for playstation network and you should be able to find the link that was supposed to work.

You can download PSP games onto a PS3, but from there the only thing you can do is copy it to a PSP. Sorry.

 

[dwroxas16]

So wait, if BbS is (possibly) being downloadedable, anyone thinking the Final Mix will be downloadable? even if it's not international, i'm sure there would be a way to download it onto an NA PSP.

All you would have to do is set up a japanese account with money in it and you could play it on you PSP

 

[Moonlight Aqua]

That would be cool if they put it on the PSN. More people to buy it and play it! :3

 

[Ikkin]

If it has to be after the physical re-release, I really hope the wait won't be way too long.

If they do a physical re-release for NGP, they'd almost certainly put up the digital version on PSN day-and-date with it -- remember, Sony's said that all NGP games will be dual-release. You'd still need either a PSP or NGP to play it, though.

Doesn't matter. You can store PSP games on your PS3 since the PS3 has more memory than the PSP. But the games can only be played on the PSP if they're PSP games. I learned this last week when I finally bought Dissidia through my PS3. Had to send it to my PSP's memory stick to play.

 

[Shamdeo]

It honestly could be something as simple as Square-Enix doesn't feel that the game hasn't been on physical retail long enough. Doesn't look like we'll find out though.

 

[ICECOOL113]

Yay Nomura-tan gots some super secret MYSTERIOUS GAME he is working on. Oh, whatever could it be~

Yes well don't keep your hopes up for BBSV.2 for very long I remember Noruma saying he's got a ton of other things he's working on including a very special 10th anniversary thing for KH1.
~not to be a killjoy or anything~

 

[Memory Master]

The only way I think I would buy BBS again off of PSN, is if they put the Final Mix version on PSN, they do that and I will buy it.

BBSV2 could be released on the tenth anniversary.

 

[XIII Heartless]

Legend of Zelda just had it's 25th anniversary/birthday/whatever you wanna call it. At this rate, Kingdom Hearts will hit that milestone before the series is finished. XD

How would you all feel to get to that point with this franchise? Proud of how far it's come, or frustrated that it's still going? I'd be a bit of both, but more the latter.

If the flippin' Xehanort saga is finished... maybe proud that they finally accomplished FINISHING it. I'll probably be really frustrated too at the fact I'll be 45 and the series will still be going. XD

That would be sooooo awesome! hahahaha I'm game for it.

Pretty sure Ethnic was being sarcastic >.>

I'm pretty indifferent. I still like the series, so I'll probably just keep buying the games regardless.

It can't be that. I mean, Dissidia and The Third Birthday are on the PSN store . And Dissidia is quite big. I mean, why opt out for a PSN version when it could guarantee in more sales? If Disney and Utada has no say in it according to Nomura, then what could be holding up the PSN version? It can't be Nomura wanting to do a project, because the download version can be put up on the store without his assistance. Just give it to the Programmers and wing it.

If Birth by Sleep is a special case for Square to not put it up on the PSN store because they want the retail version to sell, then maybe. I hear some retailers don't like it when a game they selling have a digital download version on the same release. Gamestop want to boycott any games with steamworks. I wonder if the case is similar in Japan, but then they profited well with Dissidia and The Third Birthday, which have PSN versions.

Or a NGP version is in the works.

They wouldn't need any programmers to modify Birth by Sleep to work as a download -- the pirates managed that in a few weeks, so there's nothing in the game itself that'd prevent it, and they probably already have alternate DRM to use on download versions since Dissidia and The 3rd Birthday have PSN versions.

If Nomura's working on it, there must be some extra content he wants to add for the PSN version. And, considering Final Mix has already been released, it'd be really weird if it was something more that he could do on the PSP itself.

I remember reading somewhere that digital copies of PSP games are harder to copy then getting it from the UMD itself.

Depends on the developer. If you don't remember, BBS' UMD was the hardest UMD to crack yet.
