I find it odd that the most news that I have heard about the
upcoming survival horror downloadable game Amy
relates to the recent news that the pricing of the game has become a bit of a controversy. Those who
want to purchase Amy on the Xbox 360
were going to be charged $10 (or 800 points), whereas if you were to buy the
game on the PlayStation 3, the cost would be $12.99. This is the exact same game. The difference is that if you
were to buy the game on the PS3, you would be charged more for (ostensibly) no
reason.
Here is Amy, the girl that you will be protecting for most of the game
The reasons for this extra charge were recently discussed by
the CEO of the studio developing the game (Lexis Numerique), and the main point that Jose
Sanchis tried to make was that, while 800 points was equal to ten dollars in the
US, it was actually worth roughly $12.80 when converted to Euros. Because of the following outrage, Lexis
Numerique put up a Facebook poll that may end up changing the price of Amy on the PS3 to $10, but if this were to
occur, Lexis Numerique would need an extra week to release Amy on the PS3.
Regardless of this odd news, Amy will
release over the next few weeks, and looks to be a somewhat intriguing jaunt in
survival horror.
