Blast Factor MP pack

By Tom Bramwell Published 1 February, 2007

Goes live today.

PlayStation 3's downloadable shoot-'em-up Blast Factor is to receive a multiplayer boost today with the release of a four-player pack for US$ 2.99 via the console's online store.

Anybody playing it will then be able to tackle the game in up-to-four-player co-operative and "grudge match" modes, with the option to increase the game's speed by half, too.

We've been having a poke around the PS3 Store recently, so look out for some feedback on the games there in the very near future. GripShift for example. My poor, derided GripShift.

Also up on the PS3 Store, if you're in a position to do anything about it, is the PSone racer Jet Moto, which - for US$ 5.99 - can be downloaded and played on your PSP. There's still no word on when we can expect a direct PSP download system, so if you don't have a PS3 you're still out of luck.

There was no sign of this stuff when we popped onto the PS3 Store just now, but we'll give it a going over once there is.

    First! Lovely. Now who's first with some PS3 bashing?

  • myiagros #2 5 years ago

    now that Sony have closed up the Tiwaneese Playstation Store from accepting UK Credit Cards, it looks like my version of Blast Factor will be going without the MP pack for now.

    The single player games i quite good to dip into for 5 minutes, occasionally.
    Fully expect it to appear as a full price PSP game in the near future.

    Why have Sony stopped UK credit cards?

    @jonsaan

    Simply because of card fraud issues.

    Incidentally why does this add on cost money?

  • myiagros #5 5 years ago

    When you register a credit card for an account you have to register your address.

    Up untill about 3 weeks ago the address entry for the Tiwaneese Store was indescriminent about the post code entered, so you could make it match that for your UK address (and therefore credit card) and hey presto.

    Now, i guess, Sony have started checking both the post code and country of credit cards, thereby closing this loop hole.

    Providing the UK downloads are not any more expensive, i'm not that bothered as they were always going to fix it once this oversight became public knowledge.

    Yeah i want to know that to it's one of those "should have been there from day one" kind of things.

    BUT because this MP pack comes months after Blast Factor launched it feels less of a cheat than other things that have been launched like Lumines.

    Doesn't mean I'm accepting they're conning us out of our money just feels less so than other stuff.
