PSN to feature Mortal Kombat 2 in march! 4.99 w/online!

Seems as if the PS3 will be getting a bunch of classic games soon. Both Tekken 5 DR & MK2 w/online and rumored 720p support coming in March. With a huge firmware update coming within a week or two that's suppose to add a bunch of new features to both the Playstation Store and the PS3 XMB. I know that Xbox Live has some classic games but they sell for around 10 bucks and do not usually feature any enhancements. Will the PS3 hold a slight edge when compared to Xbox Live by the end of this year?

I love the way people think MS is just going to sit on thier asses and not update Xbox Live with new features while the PS3 does. Everytime PSN gains a new feature, so will Xbox Live. First major update coming this spring.Kayrod29

XBL gets 2 Major updates twice a year, Spring & Fall. So we will see what we get this year, i know this Fall will include IPTV.

God! Sony copies like crazy!MickeyTheNinja

I remember back in the day when MK was causing so much controversy because of the violence featured in the game. Felt great when my uncle bought me a copy for x-mas even though I was very young at the time. Too bad it was the whack snes version that featured no blood!!!! Booooooo!DaddyDC650

You need Live to play the classics? What do you mean?pins_basic

I know that Xbox Live has some classic games but do not usually feature any enhancements. DaddyDC650

That's not true at all.

ALL of them feature those enhancements.

Depends.

Arcade cab montitors have higher resolutions than different TV's (and their are varying degrees of resolution increases in cab monitors as time went on as well,) so running these games in a higher definition makes more sense.

Like Smash TV Live for example, it's optimized for HD TV and it looks perfect.

As for games like SotN (that ran on standard def TV sets in the home,) I believe they will offer both the enhanced version and original version if you don't like the look of the new one.

Still, I don't know what the TC is talking about, all the Live multi games have been made online and given the same enhancements.

sony needs more good news like this, especially with the announcment that the european PS3's will be partially gimp compared to the american and japanese ones.

i was never really in to the mortal kombat series that much but i use to rent the games back when i had an snes. i liked mk 2 more than the other ones though. idk what it was... it seemed darker than the other ones. like mk1 was ok but it was too plain because it was the first game. mk3 didn't have the same magic that 2 had. mk2 online would truely be an awesome thing especially if it includes all the levels.

oh yea and baraka was f****** awesome!

"Usually" would mean "Most of the time they do not feature these enhancements," but the fact is they "Always" do.

They're HD optimized with leaderboards and acheivments, and on the games that originally had mutliplayer or were intended for multiplayer they're given online play.

nah, MK3 for Xbox Live already makes MK2 feels bland and outdated, NICE try though,,,,, i now some people may disagree with me, but thats a factFat_X_ZUMBO

That's exactly what I'm telling you, "Always" as in "Always."

Haha, Yeah, Dig Dug. You got me. The original Dig Dug where you had to wait for the player to finish completely and then trade off turns was in fact removed. Be that as it may, THE GAME IS STILL ENHANCED (acheivments, HD, etc.)

You said they "usually" don't have the enhancements. Other than the removal of Dig Dug's bad primitive multiplayer, that's is 100% false. The games feature the enhancements 99% of the time.

You typed that ALL of the classic games featured enhancements..DaddyDC650

Dude, do you realize Dig Dug is still enhanced with Achivements, 5.1, etc?

Yes - ALL of the games are enhanced.

The fact that the bad multi was taken out of Dig Dug (OH NO! DIG DUG's terrible wait 'n play multi!) is an ultra rare exception.

I know, it's a silly argument - but I never said all of the games had multi, just that they were all enhanced.

To tell you the truth I didn't even know Dig Dug was multi originally (I thought it was an old 1p ColecoVision game,) I just assumed all of the old games that were originally multi had it, because I hadn't found one that hasn't (I didn't get Dig Dug though, so that's why.)

Yep...XNA.

"The XNA team is proud to announce the availability of the 1.0 release
of XNA Game Studio Express and the XNA Framework, aimed at helping
students and hobbyists build games for Windows and the Xbox 360. This

What do you think XNA is about. And where did Sony ever say they would support user generated content and even if they did could it be another Sony lie?Nugtoka

Um, they already have that...XNA Creator......
