Sony is reportedly about to launch something similar to their greatest hits for the PS3. For those that don't know what the "Greatest Hits" line of games was, it meant that the game had sold well and gotten overall good reviews. When a game got Greatest Hits status, the price of it got dropped to about $20 and it got a "Greatest Hits" logo on the case.
Sony is supposedly about to launch something similar for the PS3 in Japan. There's a catch though! The games will sell for about 3800 yen, ...
"Looking to bag goodies for free (you filthy spendthrift)? Then US honorary Scrooges can look forward to nabbing demos for Turok and FIFA Street 3 and trailers for Dynasty Warriors 6 and Syphon Filter: Combat Ops - while EU tight arses can slink off with an NBA 08 demo a trailer for Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway (also US).
Those willing to invest a few cents or pennies in Sonys online store can scoop a Motor storm Double Track Pack and a selection of songs for Rock Band, while EU mone..."
Sony will be releasing downloadable content for Folklore. It's not much, but there will be two packs. It will introduce four new quests and costumes. The release will be sometime this month. The first pack is called The Kidnapped Folk and follows the original game while the second will be called Bottom of the Sea and follow up the first downloadable pack. If these prove to be successful and receive positive feedback, it's likely there's a strong possibility of more to come.
"First, I would like to thank you for helping make our little game a big success. Without your support, deep and innovative games like Folklore would never be made, and quite frankly, I would be out of a job.
So, youve played through Folklore, been to Hell Realm and back, and you want MORE??? Well, youre in luck! Starting this month, and only on the PLAYSTATION Network, youll be able to purchase new downloadable add-on packs each to include a new costume for either Ellen OR Keats, a c..."
This is a weird one this is, it seems that Ebgames have not read, nor seen anything to do with Folklore, since the front page sports the following description for Folklore, an Action RPG recently released on the PS3:
Two heroes, seeking Lucky Charms and answers to a mystery, journey from a small Irish village to the netherworld. They must suck up the magically delicious souls of the residents to succeed.
As we start trekking towards the holiday season, multitudes of games are on their way out, some looking for a place inside a console or someone's lucky game shelf. Some others are looking for a place inside a closet, only to magically reappear under a Christmas tree.

The European PSN Store has been updated with a number of new additions. The exclusive Folklore playable demo is now available to download, but for a limited time only. The update also includes a number of trailers from the Games Convention in Leipzig.
One of the most anticipated titles for the PlayStation 3 is making its way to the PlayStation Portable, according to Sony Game Producer Bill Ritch. The exact details about the game have not been revealed but this is definately good news for fans of the game.
Folklore is already out in Japan, but has not been released in Europe or North America. Even so, downloadable content has already been planned. 6 "Quest" packs will be able to download for the game, each containing a variety of new additions for the game.
Sony will be updating the European PlayStation Store on Wednesday night, instead of Thursday to upload content related to the Games Convertion in Leipzig, Germany. The content will include mostly trailers, but for a limited time only, the english Folklore demo will be available to download.
"Exuding all the rendered quality and storytelling prowess of Resident Evil or Silent Hill, the Gaia-developed adventure (brainchild of Shin Megami Tensei creator Kouji Okada) looks like a real-time action title thats packed with RPG leanings and takes an element of its battle inspiration from the Ghostbusters franchise.
Truly beautiful aesthetics ably showcase the PS3s graphical powers while the in-game design, battles, and atmospherics also appear to be little short of top-drawer.

12/09/07 - Warhawk (Incl. Headset Bundle)
19/09/07 - Heavenly Sword
10/10/07 - Folklore
24/10/07 - Lair
24/10/07 - The Eye of Judgement
October - SingStar"
Game Republics Folklore does look extremely impressive in a visual sense, and while it smacks heavily of borrowed influences across various gaming genres, we must also concede that there isnt much on offer across todays videogame scene that can be truly labelled as original anymore. So, from that standpoint, yes, Folklore could well be a fairly standout title when it arrives in October on the PlayStation 3.
Folklore was released on the Japanese store a few days ago and PSU tests out the game. They talk about how different characters affect the game yo are playing, such as cut scenes and what enemies you will fight. The graphics are superb but not up to par with other games such as heavenly sword and Uncharted. Feel free to download the game if you have the time to download a 1 Gig demo
