PAL Novastrike submitted to SCEE News News by Tom Bramwell
Today 10:12

Tiki Games is working on getting Novastrike onto the European PlayStation Store as soon as possible, according to president and creative director Kevin McCann.

McCann was writing on the PlayStation Blog yesterday to announce the release of a patch adding Trophies, adjusted difficulty and controls and custom soundtrack support to the PSN shooter in the US.

“We’re working with going through the submission process with SCEE presently,” McCann wrote in a comment on the resulting thread. “I’m sorry I can’t be more specific (as I don’t have a date), but it [is] our main goal right now.”

We’ve asked Sony if anyone there can clarify.

Novastrike is a top-down shooter in which you have to shoot everything in sight with a variety of weapons. You can see what it looks like in screenshots and trailers on the Novastrike gamepage.

@ Shrui - You’re right about that, on the american blog TIKI games has told they will try to get the game out in Europe as fast as possible.

As mentioned I managed to get the american store to accept my creditcard, but it stinks that we need to bypass SONYs own rules in order for this, there shouldn’t be such big problems with localizing, there are 5 main languages, have the games use those and the rest should be fine.

@Whitewolf

Article does say that, With only two weeks left of Summer they are running short. Will also only be 2-3 months late which ain’t bad for SCEE.

Doesn’t remove the sting for EU users who haven’t been able to buy it yet to be reading about updates to it.

Actually Fersis might be right, while reading on PSU I found a single line at the bottom of this article saying the game will be out here later:

Well just bought the game off the american store, and the things they want to change is really needed, the ship is very tiny and even if you play the the easiest level, it is still very hard to progress, even though playing a few hours I still haven’t been able to progress anu further than level 1. Now I am wondering if the game is capable of updating when it is on a european machine and the game isn’t released here.

@fersis
Sorry the article that threespeech has linked to and what theespeech has written makes *NO* mention of Europe…

So if you could provide a link to back up your statement, that would give it some credibility

@Fersis

I think your failing to see where the bad feeling is directed.

No one has suggested that Novastrike wouldn’t release here without the new content (presuming it ever does release here). What we’re pissed off about is being told about an update to a game that is not released here yet.

Considering the treatment that European customers already receives its a bit insensitive.

No guys ,you didnt get it.
NOVASTRIKE will release on Europe WITH the patch.
And on the US Store will be released only the patch.
You guys surely read anything that help you to whine.
