Still no echochrome on PAL PSN Comments by Robert Purchese

Echochrome for the PAL PSN is not released until June at least.

Yeah, quite understandable really given the amount of text they have to translate into the multiple European languages.

/sarcasm mode off

Seriously though, I'm not in the slightest bit surprised as we're still waiting for the Shivering Isles expansion pack here in Europe which the US got before Christmas and which is already out as part of the GOTY edition so there's no language excuses in this case. So why have we had to wait four months and counting...? :?

Write/email to SCEE re the delay for Shivering Isles and if it will be released..ever in Europe? Localisations already done for X360/PC in Europe so what is the real issue?

Bethesda or SCEE holding it up?

Anyway yippee re PixelJunk Monsters expansion pack.

Bethesda I say. Mainly based on their laughable performance with patching. Become a vampire on the PS3 GOTY? Then enjoy! Because of the broken quest scripting thats all you're going to be from now on! The only fixes?

1) Use a copy of normal Obv to get past a certain part of the game.
2) Certain DLC fixes the scripting when installed. Natch we don't have any though.

The only people getting fixes to Oblivion are the PC users, because they are fixing the game themselves using the TESC.

Their DLC's were broken when released, the game was broken when released. They fixed some bits, said "thats it, no more patches" even in the face of hordes of people slinging bugs and glitches in their faces. Still, roll on Fallout 3 eh?

I certainly put this in Beths court rather than Sony's, really don't think they could be arsed, especially in the face of not bothering to fix a game breaking bug on the PS3.

This is actually a good update, not sure why EG felt the need to spin it as a poor one. As HiddenAway points out, SCEE have had Echochrome listed as a June release for a while now.

Just curious, if I sign up for a Us account (already have a Japanese one). Would there be problems buying stuff from their store? Screw this waiting.

Just out of interest - WHY don't sony release echocrome? I mean, whats in it for them to hold it back?

That Dark Mist looks good (like dungeon crawling), but no save? No hoarding money and getting weapons with slightly better stats as time goes on? Not a dungeon crawler in my book. I'll stick with Marvel Ultimate Alliance for my stat building needs.

But Pixeljunk Monsters stuff will always be welcome. Can't wait (to get home and purchase).

Just play the US demo of Echochrome... it's not up to much anyway imo.

The update looks excellent, will be getting the golf characters and trying out Dark Mist.

While you all fuss over the no show of echochrome, I'll be on what Edge described as "the strongest PSN offering since... Everyday Shooter and Super Stardust HD."

Good update, even if EG are being a load of misery-guts.

menage: US account will give you demos fine, but it's the nationality of your credit card that can cause problems for bought content. Some Euro folks seem to get away with it, some don't. Doesn't cost anything to try though.

"This is actually a good update, not sure why EG felt the need to spin it as a poor one. "

I agree completely - quite a good update for once.

Dark Mist and more PixelJunk Monsters... can't be a bad thing. Dark Mist is pretty good IMO.

After I have tried the Echocrome demo, I'm not really hyped for it anymore. Seems like a ok puzzler but nothing revolutionary.
