Sony owns. They said preload starts on 6/26 but never put it up, then they said they'd put the game up at midnight tonight but it's still not up. I'm going to be up all night anyway so I guess I'll check at 12 PST but I'm betting it won't be up until tomorrow evening.

A rep said it won't be up until the normal PSN update on Tuesday.

This looks correct. Just checked and it's not up as of 12:10 PST, which almost assuredly means it won't be up until whenever some dude at Sony can be bothered to press the button tomorrow afternoon.

PSN is really, extraordinarily bad about pre-loads and midnight releases in general. They're not remotely as accurate or responsive about it as Steam and even asking different Sony reps will often get you different answers to when something is actually going to be available.

Well I thought the pre-loading thing was just for PS4 titles so I guess I'm glad I didn't know otherwise or I'd probably be kind of irritated right now. Not that I should be buying the game anyway since I'm kind of broke and am still wrapping up DW8XL.

I guess we are never going to get the blur fix patch that Japan got months ago for the PS4 version of DW8. Man, why does the North American side of their operations seem to be so poo poo? I just want the drat depth of field option that the Japanese got.

If I've never watched Gundam, and don't plan too, and the most I ever had anything to do with the series was a Gundam action figure a friend got me as a present when I was 11 will/could I enjoy this new Gundam game? Is it like DW where I can just blow up robots with a cool laser sword?

If you were able to enjoy DW without knowing about the Three Kingdoms beforehand I imagine so. The gameplay is mostly identical.

The voices are all in Japanese, if that matters to you. Theres no English dub.

Its only $40 so you could do worse. Theres tons of robots with big guns and swords n poo poo.

I was never a fan of Gundam (the weird space drama thing most of them ended up being turned me off, since I was just in it for the gigantic robots) but so far the gundam wing game is pretty rad. It shortens all the big arcs into a few cutscenes from what I can tell which speeds them up to much more tolerable, and gives you enough plot that you feel like there's a point to killing a billion robots. It's fun, too, I'm a pretty big fan so far.

Looking at the store, apparently all the DLC for DWG: Reborn went up as well, so there that is.
DLC includes the Crossbone Gundam, GP-03 from Stardust Memories, Wing Zero Custom, Full-Armor Unicorn, and the 00 Qan[T] along with a decent amount of mission bundles. New Mobile Suits will run you $5 each and mission packs are are either $2 or $3 each. If you don't want to deal with that, there's a bundle of everything for $30. I'll probably pick that up in about a week or two after screwing around with everything else.

Store's probably being hammered since they decided to do a sale as well as dump the latest ps+ offerings on the same day.

Edit: and I'm really annoyed because I've been waiting for hours for my download to finish. This is the only DW series I buy every title for.

Ive been enjoying DWG Reborn so far. Definitely gets pretty framey when I massacre a ton of dudes. The charged shot adds a different layer compared to the previous games that I like so far.

I did the story mode for MSG which was good, and the SEED story which I liked less because I dont like how the Freedom fights. Switching the backpacks on the Strike was kind of interesting.

You can use a PS4 pad on the PS3. The most recent firmware update even enabled wireless connection (go to system, manage bluetooth accessories, scan for bluetooth devices while holding PS Button, Share, and the track pad down). Not every game works, you get no rumble or motion controls, and the PS button doesn't work so you might want to keep the PS3 pad around just for that.

Wasn't there an update recently that allowed you to use a PS4 controller with the PS3?

The new 'Big In Japan' sale on the EU PSN Store has loads of Dynasty Warriors games in it.

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-ie/big-in-japan/cid=STORE-MSF75508-BIG_IN_JAPAN_CH

from a quick look it has:
DW8
DW7 - empires
WO3
Bladestorm
FOTNS - Ken's Rage 2
DW6
DW6 - empires
DW7
DW7 - XL

from what I could see, prices aren't crazy cheap, seem to be in the €15-€20 range, shame that even the older games are similarly priced to later releases.

Stop what you're doing right now and go watch Build Fighters. Star Build Strike, Crossbone Maoh and Sengoku Astray better be in the next DWG I swear to god.
