‘Heads-Up’ Game Store Update (25th August 2010)

ross this really annoys me, why is it when a psp game gose on the essentials list the file size is not shown. it is extreamly annoying since these are the games i will most want and i have to go an search the internet to find the file size

“I know you guys are forwarding our requests for new games to the publishers (and thank you for that), but can you please, PLEASE, ask them why we have to pay so much more every week compared to the US store?

Really, please ask! We would like to know.

And, does Sony do anything about it at all, or do you just not care? I mean, Sony must have something to say about it, no?”

I’ll just have to keep asking then…! I don’t understand why this is being ignored.

psOne classics I’d like are Discworld 1+2, Broken Sword 1+2 (unless Sony can convince Revolution to bring BS: DC over to PSN), Myst and Riven (unless Sony can convince Cyan Worlds to bring realMyst and Riven HD to PSN).

Any word on Tarsier Studios’ The City of Metronome making it’s way to PS3?
Tale of Tales (makers of The Path, FATALE and The Endless Forest) seems very keen to develop on PS3, Sony needs to contact these guys pronto.

Also why can I not login to the US Blog from the PS3 browser?

ross nightmare creature’s m8 cmon u said u loved it too , make it happen and i shall only ever give good feedback lol

last week missing gamescom videos and now missing dlc where is the naughty bear episode 8 dlc i can only see the trailer for the dlc whats going on…

Thank you Ross for your reply.

I was looking everywhere (add for Flow) but found only the full game.

CisekPL – “I have a question about DLC from Mafia II. Why Poland doesn’t have this content at PS Store?”

Becouse the worst polish publisher Cenega, that is why :>

SolidAREK – MK2 was in Polish PSN about 2 weeks ago and then it’s disappeared.

Is the file size thing really such a big deal? It tells you when you look at it on the store, and given that you need to look at it on the store to buy it, I can’t imagine it impacts on your day so much.

arcadiush – But i want to know Sony’s stance about this missing DLC

Ross I was wondering if some of Square’s older classics like the Chrono series the mana series parasite eve and so on are comming to the store? Another one I’m wondering about is Threads of Fate. Tough I think it never ended up in Europe.

The Lucas Arts adventures (Monkey Island 1 and 2) must have sold like grazy. Any news if other old (or new) point and click adventures will make it to PSN?

It’s taking YEARS to download the MAG beta (not the 32mb one off the store, but the 907mb one in-game)!

I think the guys at Sony need to start using one of these: http://www.xe.com/ucc/

ANY Sign of the Legacy of Kain games? It’s been a looong time since they were released on the US PSN.

Ross: “You don’t have to click into anything to see the price – the Price and all information relating to the game is always in the panel on the left when you move over an icon.”

Does the Store team ever test the site using a lower speed connection? If not, why not? In my experience, the price often doesn’t appear for ages – usually only after I click on the item, wait for it to load and then back out of it again.

The store could do with a serious update – it’s annoying that it isn’t XMB-compatible – I’d love to be able to listen to my music while trawling through the store. Don’t know if you have any control over that type of thing, but…

It looks like a nice update this week with a slightly wide variety of content, though unfortunately it’s another week where the money in my PSN wallet will be gathering dust.
I do agree with the people who say there needs to be more psp games and ‘real’ ps1 classics on the store, something more than the kiddy disney type games that we get every once in a while. Then again since Tomb Raider is coming soon I guess I can’t complain too much.
Since it’s aparantly more difficult for the EU store to get content due to games needing to be licenced/rated for many different countries, perhaps Sony should try looking into whether there are any other ways to get content released between countries that could speed up the process. (though i have no idea what other ways there are out there)
Also, I agree with the people who have been pointing out the rediculous pricing on some games, people in EU seem to be paying a lot more for their content, sony should really have a word with the publishers letting them know how the customers feel about it and see if anything can be done.

208- Go on the psp essentials section an click on any game an see if you can see any file size other than this game is compatible with a 320kb meomory stick…. this means if i want to download it i wont know if i will have enought space since i only have a 4gb meomory stick and have to delete stuff if i want to play a game with 500mb or more. Its a simple thing that can be put in the description LIKE in the normal section. Before you comment make sure you know what your talking about.

o an it is very annoying when you have to search for a file size. i had to look on the internet for ages to try and find the file size of breath of fire 3 and i didn’t even actually find the right size

Nice update,
But can you have a look at the Dutch store.
4 week ago i was looking for some games for my kids en found that Ben10 show no content Hanna M no content en 1more but i forgot.
Today I was checking the store en Ben10 still shows no content.
Thanks

No option to buy extended warrenty? Wow, don’t you like money?

Let’s Golf, Shank, Naruto demo and a few SSFIV avatars for me this time! Nice update.

Can anyone recommend Crash Commando? Good or not?

What about YS Seven?

The Euro PSN is SEVERELY lacking good PSP rpg’s =(

hi there, just wanted to let you know that there is an problem on the store in the fact that the game high stakes on vegas has been put up in price to £7.99 but if you go into the item it still has text in there telling me its on special offer and it used to be £6.99

Oh my god, the store team killed Joe Danger! You b—–ds!

Not just the trial but the full game too! Broken folder link or something!

HAHA I’m glad I bought a US PSN card when I was over there, and downloaded Toy Story Racer a couple of days ago when I finally figured out what to do with the card! (in the mean time I went to the US twice without using the card) so I thought lets use it! and yet again not available in the Netherlands!

thanks so much for PixelJunk Racers!! Bought it as a 3 pack combo with monsters and eden and now its got the update!

Shank is old skool gaming.

i see the same totally pants distribution method is being used for the mag beta as the last time. seriously, would it have killed them to put the whole 900mb on the store, rather than that “receiving updates” client-to-client nonsense as before?!. i was expecting it to be finished while i was out at the leisure centre playing my 5-aside game, and here i am three hours later still waiting for it to finish.

i just downloaded the ruse demo, complete with the move instructions, kinda wird, is it ps-plus only or something, because i didn’t read anything about it with this update. i don’t the demo very much, it’s kinda… ugly and it dures ages to road all the detail when you are zoomed in.

sorry for my englisch, i’m a dutchman.

Why is the KILLZONE 3 trailer STILL not up on the store? It’s been two updates since it was announced.

For God’s sake, TEKKEN 2! Only EU PSN doesn’t has that great classic. Why?

Joe Danger is completely gone from my store. The folder for the trial and unlock is empty. No use searching for it either. Nice job, I’m sure Hello games are happy.

Japanese and Hong Kong PSN have Final Fantasy XIII avatars, why can’t EU/NZ PSN have them as well?

Any clues to what will be on offer for PS+ next week? (other than the posted some weeks ago), Mushroom Wars or Critter Crunch ?
Is there any plans to have the protection plan in AUS?

Nevermind.. skipped reading page 4, which has your answer about PS+

Pinball Heroes has the same problem first identified in USA on its launch whereby the trophies come up as text 1, text 2 etc. They released a patch for it. Would have thought in the 3 months it took to come to Europe we might have got the working version!

Hi Ross,
I bought Shank yesterday and it was a bit of let down. I was expecting an online co-op mode. Plus the game is quite short and English only. Do you think that we might get a patch for an Online co-op?
Thanks.

Why was Shank deleted from the German PSN Store? Not only the Demo is gone, but the whole Game is nowhere to be found.

Real glad I bought Shank. Excellent game and I was playing for near 4 hours straight last night. Most I’ve enjoyed a PS Store game in a long, long time. Certainly the best 2D brawler type game (though I still love Final Fight as well).

YESS! Thank you for Toy Story Rossy ! brings back memories! hah!

Also,did Mike give you any presents from Gamescom ? OOO if you have a twitter account i’d like to see them

Bring more PSone games,for PStore,i have spent 100 Pounds on it,so i’ll start getting that PS+ for that LBP2 Beta ^.^ I wish SCEE folks made levels

Wohoo Naruto demo i do hope if this new one gets DLC’s that they will actually come to EU this time like the first games didn’t that was sad

how about you give us PSONE CLASSICS RESIDENT EVIL 1/2/3 AND tekken 1/3

AND MORTAL KOMBAT TRILOGY

PLEASE make this happen!!!

hi there im wondering if the eu store will ever get the resident ps1 classics and the tomb raider ps1 classics ? also why do the american store get stuff we dont get in the eu store ?

@SOLIDFOX656
