Mercury Meltdown Commercial Game Demo

Today with the release of the new 2.80 firmware came the release of this puzzle game demo.

Heres an excerpt from the Preview by Eurogamer:

Meltdown's mercury has transitioned to a completely different state. The process of delivering your delicate blob of liquid metal from start to goal, running the gamut of endless obstacles, undulating surfaces and narrow ledges, rarely frustrates for reasons the developer didn't intend.

As well as quicker load-times, there are useful indicators, handy stabilisers and thoughtful options everywhere. A colour chart means that you can negotiate the levels that involve separating your mercury into smaller blobs, spray-painting them and then mixing colours without loading the Dulux website in the background; there's near-instant auto-saving after every level; you can change camera controls and even your mercury skin without exiting to some mother-menu; you can pause the game and roam around the level in free-look to get a feel for the challenges ahead; you can take on the 16 levels that make up the "lab" hub you're working through in any order, with more labs unlocked based on constituent progress rather than having to finish everything.

When you download and unzip then put the eboot.php in a folder called "UCJS10043" in your Game directory.

Yeah, it is a Japan only demo. The English demo is World Tour soccer 2.

Does this run on Euro PSP with 2.80 firmware? I get a message "Corrupted Data" from the file. I am assuming it will, as LocoRoco Jap worked just fine on my PSP..

I don't want lousy Soccer game, I want Mercury!!!

Its not worth upgrading for a demo like this...

...Same for the soccer game, the first 1 was rubbish so why even get a demo for free to try the new 1?

Sony really need to sort this out because if they think we are gonna upgrade for 2 little demos hahahahahahahahaha not a chance (well 3 counting Locoroco 1.01 "pretty pathetic too")

No offense to people that have upgraded but personally I have no idea why you did when within 1 week 2.80 will be emulated using devhook no doubt

I use my PSP to listen to shoutcast steams, and i have my entire music/picture/videos accesible on my PSP when inrange of my Wifi, as RSS feeds.

To me that is more important than homebrew.

Im with you, keeping the PSP update and getting the latest things without using homebrew, if you brick your PSP then your screwed, and when the PSOne Emulator comes out, the official one then Sony might sort themselves up with the security, although i think some some homebrew should be allowed as long as its not being used to do things you shouldbt be doing, like downgrading and stuff....

Mercury Meltdown is a hell of a lot more cartoony than the original mercury (which is an awesome game)

So you have to upgrade for this demo. If so no thanks.

Hmm, interesting. I donwloaded the file 3 times from here, and it never worked, downloaded it direct from Sony Japan PSP site, and it worked 1st time. I was either unlucky, or the attached file is corrupted.

It works fine for me. I got it from Sony Japan in the browser.

with homebrew i can watch avi videos and .mov videos and well alot of other codecs without upgrading through my wifi router and i can play snes and gameboy games and control my pc and play n64 games a gb advance games and use the browser sony made up to 2.71 and play doom and do alot of other crap so sony is crazy for thinking ill update and your just retarded if you update for the bs sony puts out i gues they have given up on getting us 1.5ers to lose all the best psp action or they would have put in somthing really good like..........well i dont even no and btw with devhook (2.71) we have a usb cam prx and gps prx and gps folder in flash 1 so it will be a cold day in hell when i update my psp.

Why do you want the soccer demo lol its really rubbish and not worth the effort, Sony are good at some things but one they are not good at is creating Football games, damm EVERY This Is Football game (that world tour soccer is based on) is the same, same graphics, players, kits (all bad and fake)...

...I rated it 2/10 on every gaming website I work at (7 sites) and reviewed it all 7 times I never just copy and paste my reviews.

I dunno y i am talking about football for when this is the mercury thread but either way dont bother getting the footie yeh.

I agree. I'm NEVER updating. If I Had a 2.81fw; I'de never play it. :mad: I guess SONY figures, if they can trick at least a dozen or two twelve year olds into upgrading for some cruddy demo they will:( . Listen, repeat after me kids: " 1.5 can do MORE of everything than a 2.8 with the right homebrew application."
But in the end, I guess it's a personal choice. Do what you want.;)

zaniar

im realy confused

i have 2.8 that can run game demos

so y cant it run these emulators and roms and stuff like that

i would apreciate some clarification
August 25th, 2006, 20:35
Kramer

because sony doesnt want us to be able to run homebrew.
August 25th, 2006, 20:48
zaniar

lol i know that part but whats the diference in the coding that 2.8 can play those demos but not those homebrews?
August 25th, 2006, 20:52
Kramer

because sony's demos are signed with there encryption key and homebrew isnt that's why people are looking for exploits to run unsigned code on higher firmwares.

There is nothing you can't do (or at least won't be able to do soon) with a 1.50 version of Firmware. All the new features in 2.80 will soon be emulated. There is absolutely no reason to upgrade.

I have played this game a few times on my 2.8 PSP I only take out on rare occasions anymore. I don't know why, but I hate this game, and can't put it away. (BTW I am still referring to this demo).

As for the soccer game, well its a free demo, barely worth the size, and not worth the time. I wish someone would release a demo for a new FF game, I would love to see how that would turn out on PSP. (I mean, soccer or FF, you decide...)

oh yeah, and finally, FF is referring to Final Fantasy, just so their is no confusion :)

yes i love my devhook and wouldn't upgrade to 2.80 in a million years! Sony need to try harder than that! though devhook from what i heard on another forum may not be bringing any more updates out...
