Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony announces PSN exclusives campaign (PS2 Games on PSN)

Sh1nn on 03 October 2011

Sony is continuing to take the initiative to bolster its PlayStation Network following the disastrous hack earlier this year. Not only did Sony add another $20 million this summer to a Pub Fund it started a couple years ago, but today the company announced a new "Only On PlayStation Network" program to stress its flow of exclusive gaming content.

Starting on October 4, every Tuesday in the month will see several new exclusives on PSN, including Pub Fund titles like Eufloria and Okabu, as well as inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood and PixelJunk Sidescroller.  And the program will also feature a selection of "rare classic games" added to the store on October 4, including God Hand, GrimGrimoire, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, Odin Sphere and Ring of Red. 

Consumers who are PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive a 20% discount during the launch week of each “Only On PSN” game. On top of that, if you spend $60 or more out of your PlayStation Network/Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) Wallet throughout the month of October, you'll be able to receive a $10 store credit towards purchases in November. This promotion isn't limited to just games - spending can be on add-ons, PlayStation Home micro-transactions, TV shows, movies, Music Unlimited subscriptions, etc. 

“‘Only On PlayStation Network’ is our line of great exclusive games that users can count on to deliver exciting game experiences that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Susan Panico, senior director of PlayStation Network, SCEA.  “This strong initial content offering, combined with the day one discounts for PlayStation Plus subscribers and the ‘Spend $60, Get $10 Back’ promotion, makes PlayStation Network the premier destination for digital content.”

The lineup in the program is as follows:  October 4 - Eufloria and Rochard; October 11 -Sideway: New York; October 13 - Sodium Collection; October 18 - Okabu and RocketBirds; October 25 - inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood and PixelJunk Sidescroller.

IndustryGamers spoke with Susan Panico about the program and Sony's continued push for exclusives. We'll be bringing you that soon.

Yes, count on PSN to deliver EXCLUSIVE experiences that can't found anywhere... excluding PS2.

Sony just seems out of touch. These PS2 games are only gonna appeal to a small number of niche gamers even if God Hand is one of the greatest games ever. PSN needs some great exclusives that are actually exclusive.

Meh... they are saying: "here are some non HD ports, cause we are to cheap make them HD, of some niche titles cause you fools will still buy it..."

anyway I already have those PS2 titles so no need to buy them... and while I really liked God Hand.. it hasn't aged well

Wow. They really threw down the gauntlet. Now it's up to Microsoft to answer by getting Light of Yellow for XBLA.

(GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!)
