No counter strike:GO

Another F from SCEE

Unbelievable !!

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:33 pm by EternalChaos72

toss update! what else is new. jawad what avatars are coming next?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:33 pm by uncleniccius

Hey Jewad, I notice Counter Strike isn’t in the update… what’s happened? Will we get a plus discount like the US?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:50 pm by Fred Dutton

Jawad’s away from his desk for the next few hours but will be online to answer queries later today. Hold tight.

Hi!

Last weeks Alundra release had some emulation problems, I see now that the japanese icon has been fixed, but is it a new EBOOT with solid emulation?

Apperently the music is slowed down (best part of the game) and some FMVs are very slow too.

If not, when is this going to be fixed?

Thanks!

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 3:08 pm by Jawad Ashraf

monkeypaw are aware of it and are looking at what the issue could be.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:33 pm by DAVIE222

Yet still no YouTube app in EU -_-

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:33 pm by Silent_Gig

Legasista for me!
Very excited and a brilliant update!

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:33 pm by MR_COATES

Being a Vita owner is becoming depressing…

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:35 pm by Ruzzi7

S**t update, for some reason I’m not surprised.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:35 pm by TheMethod

Nothing for Vita?

Come on dudes, I offered up the dosh for this thing, please furnish me with at least some demos.

Sound shapes IS awesome, but we could do with more.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:35 pm by litterature

No Counter-Strike: GO reallly SCEEE ? ^_-

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 3:19 pm by Fred Dutton

I’m afraid this is all I can say about Counter Strike at present:

Unfortunately Counter Strike has not been made available on the European PlayStation Store today and we apologise to those of you who were looking forward to playing it. We hope to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and will let you know if the situation changes.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:35 pm by Finkhald

Sounds great, especially JoJo.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:35 pm by Bahamut_MW

I was really expecting Counter-Strike Go, what happened?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:35 pm by MR_COATES

DAVIE222

What do you mean?
You’ve got a UK flag next to your name, YouTube app has been available in the UK for a while now!

This isn’t the case for all EU countries though.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:35 pm by szczudel

How about some discount for House of the Dead 4? Would be nice to have some dicounts fore core Move games once in a while.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:36 pm by Ruzzi7

Ultra lame update, not surprised for some reason though.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:36 pm by Lenomy

For those of you who want the PS3 youtube app, make an american account and download it from the american store.

But dont hope for much, its very slow, very buggy, you’re better of watching on your vita or a computer, trust me.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:36 pm by Golwar

Tearaway Trailer (Gamescom 2012) (Excluding Germany)

Lol? Is even Tearaway too brutal now?

And it isn’t very smart not to mention Retro/Grade for Plus nor update the Plus picture. You can bet that it will confuse people and lead to many many questions.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:36 pm by chrisredfield_97

asayaf plz i need you to answer to my question i’m asking you this kindly just tell me when assassin’s creed III avatars are going to come to ps store europe and one more thing what about the capcom avatars youy were thinking of putting in european ps store plz if you can reply to my questions i would be gratful by u and the ps team so have a nice day and plz reply it’s really important to me

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:36 pm by DAVIE222

Spyro The Dragon?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 5:03 pm by Jawad Ashraf

Next month hopefully but it’s not a promise.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:36 pm by K-X-A

hi jawad or sony staff please put tekken 4 on eu psn thank you

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:37 pm by Wraxend

DYAD?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:37 pm by silent_strike95

Wait what, no CS:GO?
Oh well.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:37 pm by pn3b0y

i think you put the wrong ps+ image because retro/grade was supposed to be free lol also will urban chaos be 2.99 as reported in last weeks summer sale blog post?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:37 pm by redalertrules

I was just wondering why is there always a week delay for these downloadable games? Will just get counter strike off steam

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:37 pm by ryannumber3gamer

Hey Jawad i got a few questions

1.When will the Playstation All-Stars beta be here?
2.I’m in no rush to play the Spyro games but how much more is there to do until they are ready? I really want to try Spyro 1 & 3 because i already got Spyro 2.
3.Will the Spyro games be free for plus members when they come?
Also could you ask Fred when The Last Guy codes are being sent. He said he would have them sent by Monday afternoon/Tuesday but i still didn’t get the code i won from the weekend debate.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:51 pm by Fred Dutton

I’m told they were sent out today, but clearly that hasn’t happened. I am chasing this. Really sorry this one has taken so long.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:38 pm by matze1393

No CS:GO? Great…

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:38 pm by DAVIE222

WHY DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT THE NGP??!!!!!

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:38 pm by AJ2K7

Where is CS:GO?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:38 pm by unitedkronos

Where is CS:GO?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:38 pm by AD_Elite

counter strike is out for the xbox but why not ps yet?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by Co2-UK

Where is Counter Strike: Global Offensive?

I was expecting to see it included in this weeks EU store update as it was included in the US store update yesterday.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by j-a-y-888

No Counter Strike?

I really was looking forward to that… I guess I shouldn’t assume

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by reaper_oz_

COUNTER-STRIKE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by darkboys5

were the [DELETED] global offensive

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by Izorpo

well I was interested in Legasista until I saw the price think I will wait until a price drop or sale(which will probably be never as NIS seems to remember Europe with their sales)

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by zerolaff

Cool demos..

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by MA76_666

aaah…no mass effect 3 price drop like US store

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:39 pm by Pray07

USA gets CS:GO and Way of the Samurai 4, we get Expendables 2.

Why even bother…

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:40 pm by komori_kiri

But.. but.. but.. but… Counter Strike…

What the balls, SCEE?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:40 pm by LiquidSolid

Where on earth are Closure and Dyad? Let me guess, the Closure devs gave up because SCEE cert is the worst.

Oh and RIP Sony Liverpool. Awful move Sony.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:40 pm by Falcon1991

Still no Crunchyroll app. Is it ever coming? As there are actually Europeans who watch anime. Also I wish I was hired by blinking Capcom to sort out their slow as FUDGE avatars. I’m sure they don’t actually care.

That aside, I’ll try Sleeping Dogs & Jojo.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 5:04 pm by Jawad Ashraf

No plans for Crunchy Roll.

They’ve submitted a small handful I recall. These should hopefully release soon.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:40 pm by DAVIE222

sort out the avatars on ps store! let us see the newest avatars!

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:40 pm by TheNudgeMan

Any chance of the original Transformers: War For Cybertron being released on PSN at any stage?

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:40 pm by sephiroth180

No Coutner Strike? Oh dear, what did you guys do now? Now all hell’s gonna break lose.

Other than that though, the update is fine

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:41 pm by TheMethod

I think I understated my last post, I’m actually getting pretty bloody disapointed after shelling out on a Vita and not being rewarded for doing so with more games.

We’re not quite at “unreasonable” or “completely unacceptable” levels of title-drought…but week by week you are getting there.

So I hope for everyone’s sake you open up the taps and quench our thirsts soon because you are dangerously close to vita-fail at this rate.

Posted on 22 August, 2012 at 1:41 pm by Ezzaone

I knew something was fishy about Counter Strike : GO, as there hasn’t been any of the usual hype here or mention of it coming up. Why aren’t we getting the game in the EU? I’m tempted to sack off the PS3 version and either get the Steam or Xbox 360 version. Was really looking forward to this.
