LocoRoco SS1LocoRoco SS2LocoRoco SS3


Sony Entertainment just announced that LocoRoco will be available in 2006 July but for those who can't wait there will be a downloadable trial version release on April 25th, alongside of Sony's latest firmware creation, 2.70. In LocoRoco, your mission in life is to sing, roll, and bounce your way through obstacles to the end of each level, while eating fruit to get fat. The demo can be played on either your PC, or PSP (the first downloadable PSP game demo!) with one restriction: you must have firmware 2.70 to play it. Another requirement would be that the firmware of your PSP should be 2.70. If you are still wondering what the heck is this game is about, check out our previous coverage [here].

 » Ahh I see

I get why it can be played on PC and PSP, it's a flash game. Makes perfect sense 'coz it mentions nothing about the GAME folder yet.

 » Flash

It's probably just a flash game with mapped buttons that's why you can use it on the PC aswell.

Sounds a lot like Katamari Damacy, only duller.

 » Flash based?

if the demo will be flash based, that's a good thing, that way we can open up the demofile and see how the controls are used, that way we can make our own games for the psp in flash. sure it's no C+ or so, but you can make some nice stuff in flash, if you know how, you can even make 3D using swift

another kick in the teeth for sony, the more they push FW updates down out throats, the more determined we will be not to upgrade and have to end up pirating *****

lets wait to tommorow....and see how many people play it...

Flash games to me dont look that good.

 » Its not in flash...

The blogger miss read the site, it says that you can download it to the PC, then send it accross to the PSP, much like you can for the firmware updates.

Why would they make a demo of a full game in flash?

   by Shamoo - 2006-04-24
 » Hmm a demo of this game or no homebrew...

Yea, I'll stick with homebrew. I've waited way to long for homebrew to get to 2.6. I'm not just gonna lose it cuz of this demo. I hope this firmware has flash support.

where would one download this demo from

Put two and two together. If it can be played on PC, and only played on FW 2.7 then it is a FLASH.

 » Can't play....

I don't know japanese, so it isn't easy for me finding the way to play the PC demo...

Can anybody give me instructions to do this, if there is such thing?

 » 2.7 twice

he said you need firmware 2.70, then he said another requirement would be 2.70

lol, don't go so fast!

 » @22

or it could be an attempt by sony to get people to upgrade by offering regular game demos

I know its freakin ridiculous...I mean heck, if they dont want to hire people who at least can blog right, can they at least get an editor of some sort to go over would-be blogs before posting them?

This site was really good content wise, but once they started hiring all these craptastic bloggers, its gone downhill.

 » Is this a joke?

If I didn't know better, I'd say this whole site is now a joke.

The fake news about a Daxter PSP Bundle and Giga Pack price drop in Europe was only the beginning.

in holland we hava a daxter pack and it costs 249 euro

 » whoa...

If this was a flash game, and the psp would be allowed to play flash, then homebrewers and flash people could make cool stuff for psp also.
