For some reason I decided to take part in the e-rewards survey website for fun. Well one of the surveys I was recently asked to fill out was on gaming and I later found out it was obviously focused on Sony and the PS3. In particular, I was asked a lot of questions about my online preferences and my opinion on the capabilities of the PSN, downloadable game pricing, and episodic content. In the process of completing the survey I was able to find out some really cool new details.
1) We all know that Warhawk will be downloadable off the PSN and available in retail stores with a headset. Other options were retail versions without the headset and that the survey also had me consider the exact same options for SOCOM: Confrontation. Pricing options ranged from I believe $20 or $25 to $60 for downloadable titles, and $30 to $60 for retail versions with a headset. The most common pricing options were $30 for downloadable and $50 for the game with a headset. That doesnt set anything in stone but it suggested they are narrowing down the pricing to that 30-50 dollar range to me.
2) I was asked about my opinion of an upcoming game called Nine-to-Five. This game apparently will be the first downloadable title to implement Sony's plan for episodic content. The pricing structure was suggested at $5 for 1 episode or about $14 for all 4 episodes if you were to preorder the entire package at first. Each episode would be about 3 hours in playtime and be released once a month for four months straight. They included two screenshots which was kind of cartoony but I was unable to download them to my desktop from the webpage. I'm not technically savvy Here is some further information that they had that I was able to copy.
I've personally never heard of this game in any of the news outlets I visit so I thought I would share it with you all since I didn't see anything saying I could not talk about it. If you got questions let me know! This game to me sounds awesome and I will try it out just to see how episodic content will work!
