I want a £5 coin and a hairy brother!

Hi everyone, October is going to be a good month for gaming for me. Mostly i’ll be playing NBA 2K13 (It looks legit, seriously). WWE 13 is out at the end of october plus my birthday on the 26th, and i’m all behind on my ps plus freebies. Starhawk looks interesting as i’ve always wanted to play it in its entirety since the beta, but never had the ‘throw away’ cash to risk it. God bless +! lol.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is not out till next year i think and Rainbow 6: Patriots is going to be a standard setter for all tactical shooters! Happy gaming everyone!

October is going to be an awesome month and here’s why:

- Sonic Adventure 2 HD and NiGHTS (I hope this game comes to the Vita)
- Marvel vs. Capcom Origins (Let’s hope this game gets released soon)
- Doom 3 BFG Edition (Will Doom 1 & 2 get a digital release)
- Hell Yeah! is the next GOTM and that’s from SEGA!
- Will CS:GO make it this time?
- New PSVita content

And also November will be awesome too. Why?

PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS BATTLE ROYALE!!!!

Been playing Fifa 13 all week with the early access it’s sooo awesome

Fred I have asked you about sly 4 demo for 2 weeks now and you have not answered me. the us have demo but not EU please answer me Fred!!

Cool week;) i.e MGS:PW:HD on Euro PSN now:P + New PS3 out…BUT(isn’t there always a but):D Why does Amazon.co.uk + Argos have ‘No’ New PS3′s in stock yet???:(

@fred

can you pass this to whoever has to see it to fix the problem.

the commenting system is not working on the android app(dunno about ios)
anytime i post a comment it does not upload at all.

i always check im signed in but comments dont load by 3g or wifi.
its quite annoying to reply to a blog topic(particularly if its a long post) only for it not to show up and be lost.

can you fix this otherwise great app please.

6 weeks the most embarasing monemts for SCEE! Because they didn´t give us info about counter strike: global offensive!

With Assassins Creed Ezio Trilogy, Killzone HD Trilogy, Doom 3 BFG Edition, Midway Arcade Origins, Medal Of Honor: Warfighter, Far Cry 3 etc due soon it’s going to be expensive!

I’m hoping a Taito Legends collection will eventually release containing the titles that were released on PS2 + more, Capcom Classics Collection Volumes 1 & 2 that were released on PS2 & an EA Classics Collection Road Rash/Desert Strike etc!

Finally a Midway one, fingers crossed for the rest!

The best news I have read this week was that Mass Effect 1 is finally coming to PS3. I have the other 2 but I an more sure if a want to download it or buy it the 3 of them again.

Hey Fred.

I can’t believe that Playstation Mobile (which is, for all intents and purposes, a new Playstation platform) releases next Wednesday and yet there is still no confirmed launch lineup of games. Any reason for this? Can we expect a blog post before Wednesday with a list of the games heading to PSM on day one?

If not, Playstation Mobile is off to a bad start before it has even began. Don’t get me wrong, i love what i’ve heard so far, and i can’t wait to try out some of the new games (FuturLab’s newest games especially), but there have barely been any posts on this blog about it and it launches in 4 days.

“I hope the Blog has done a good job of informing you what’s happening on planet PlayStation this week – and if you feel a little out of the loop, now’s a good time to play catch-up.”

Fred, after 5 weeks now of literally no information on CS:GO, other than ‘not this week’ then yes, several thousand eager PSN customers are feeling very out of the loop.

CS:GO was one of the most anticipated digital releases of this year, on PSN Xbox Live and Steam. I have a copy on PC which I am enjoying immensely, but having no copy on PS3 is very disappointing. I have been running my current CS clan now fore 7 years and had hoped to expand into PS3. This is now on hold and a number of people whom I encouraged to get CS:GO on PS3 are now bereft of a game to play together. I feel foolish for encouraging people to play.

I’ve somewhat given up now on asking ‘when’ we will receive CS:GO in Europe. Perhaps this questions is more pertinent….

….Will CS:GO ever be released on PSN in Europe?

Thanks

FxAxF

I don’t have high hopes of CS:GO appearing anytime soon and even if it did I wouldn’t pick it up now, for me the hype has gone.

On topic though, best store update for awhile this week. Picked up Tokyo Jungle, its so Japanese and quite a lot of fun.

@dogwalker4000

Entirely agree. It’s clear there’s more than just technical issues holding up CS:GO. The delay has been too long now and SCEE have done unrepairable damage to their reputation. They’ve have stopped commenting on the game now in the hope that everyone forgets about it. I’ll be forgetting about Sony when the Wii U and Xbox720 are released.

What’s this cs:go I keep hearing about never heard of it, the best thing to happen on psn this week the re5 avatars finally I have Albert wesker in his re5 look has my avatar.

And next Tuesday re6 cannot wait its going to be awesome.

Will dino crisis 1 or 2 ever come to playstation classics for the united kingdom

CS:GO

guys, SONY CAN’T DO ANYTHING. they have no connection to an third party multiplatform release, they aren’t responsible for what goes in or out the store.it’s all up to the developer/publisher. sony gets an statement saying “Sorry, but we are working with the europe terms & Agreement” (whatever the problem is) that’s it, there not entitled to go in the studio and demand answers, that’s only for exclusive games/companies owned by sony, how many time is fred going to answer you? he already said what the company stated, infact he maybe ignoring you because he or sony HAVE NO OTHER STATEMENT. you want counter strike? go protest/Start an forum page or post on the CS GO forums or ask the company/developer. Sony is not associated with them. Give fred a break.

Assassin’s Creeed Ezio Trilogy & mass effect trilogy (with mass effect 1) Awsome

@Junhal_1234:
Agreed with you Junhal. SCEE doesn’t have ANY info. Want info on CS:GO, go whine at Valve at their forums or even better, Steam might have forums regarding it.

@adverbialnine89:
Go and see Capcom Europe on their forums.

Hey Fred been along time iv been having difficulty playing PSN online Ranked games like SFxTK Ranked or TEKKEN TAG 2 Ranked or DOA 5 Ranked as follows im getting Rage Quitters for days and i can’t rank up on these games as they Rage quit all the time can PSN have a function to report Rage quitters as this is realy up setting me all the time.

I think its funny when high rank players on games just Rage Quit when i finish them off with a sick move they Rage Quit then message me on PSN saying Mother blah blah blah swearing at me cuz im low rank and i beat them.

Asked around but no one gets back to me rrrrrr Been looking for fps games for the vita there are non so looked online and seen alot playing MOH 1&2 for psp on the vita so i got the games £30 spent and bang they carnt be played in the uk but can eveywere else.do you no when we will get them to need to mash some offline bots on the go and i no BS is there to play but its not to good online and am tired of it. thanx

Being as both SCEE and Valve are being suspiciously, and infuriatingly, quiet on the subject of CS:GO we have to develop our own hypotheses based on available information.

Valve are the developer and SCEE the publisher. The game is finished and released on PC worldwide, 360 in the USA, 360 in Asia, 360 in Europe, PSN in the USA, PSN in Asia, but not PSN in Europe. This implies that the delay in Europe is not due to a technical issue. A technical issue would be the fault of the developer not the publisher; ie. Valve not SCEE. So we can conclude that Valve is not at fault. There have been some who believe that the delay is due to the lack of full language support for EU. My PC copy has all EU languages already so this is unlikely.

Secondly, it is not so much the lack of the game as the lack of any valid information which is driving CS fans mad. We have had 6 updates in the past 5 weeks and each one has been a simple ‘not this week’. Irrespective of whose fault it is behind CS:GO not being released, it is pure bad customer service to have customers begging for information every week and to ignore them and their requests almost completely.

@FxAxF

A simple google search would show you that SCEE is not the publisher of CS:GO, Valve are. Just because it was due to be released on PSN it doesn’t mean that SCEE is therefore the publisher, they are no more a retailer of the game. You wouldn’t go into Gamestation every week demanding a statement from them if your favourite game were not released on time would you?

It’s Valves game and Valves responsibility to get it to the platforms they said it would release for. Got problem? Then people should go whine on there forums because SCEE obviously don’t have the answers.

kinda disappointed to read that playstation all stars roster for launch is now complete and additional fighters will be now supported by dlc.

what’s the bets that all the fighters people feel are missing like snake and crash and cloud are going to show up as paid dlc that adds no additional content other than a new person to use 2 or 3 months down the line when your no longer as into the game as you where at the start and they dont get the same use.

i hope this does not happen and some are added via free update and others you can buy or low cost packs and its around launch widow than i guess i wont be too upset.

@hayzink:
Well were missing a Resistance character, Kat, Abe, Crash and Spyro and especially a Final Fantasy character. Never know these will come out as DLC.

@dogwalker4000

SCEE must be the unluckiest company ever! Value mess them about, Tell Tale mess them about, SOE mess them about and even Sony mess them about. If you really think SCEE have no blame for their shockingly poor service then you’re blind. SCEE are incompetent simple as that.

I never said they weren’t to blame for anything, I’m merely pointing out that the responsibility is not entirely theirs, Valve have to take their share of the blame for its no show and current lack of info. Looks like from where I’m sitting that they’re in no rush to get it pushed through.

Maybe the news of an impending update for CS:GO is also an indication that it is indeed coming. Whether or not it does, all of them (Valve & SCEE) need to learn from this mess

Hey Fred i got some questions.

1.Will we get the Sly 4 demo before December?
2.Is there any date confirmed for Sonic Adventure 2 & Nights?
3.Is there any plans to port Sonic Adventure 1,2 & Nights like Jet Set Radio is being ported?
4.Is there any plans to port The Jak & Daxter Trilogy, The Sly Trilogy & The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy to PS Vita or let them play using Remote play?
5.Does Jet Set Radio got Cross-buy? So if you buy the PS3 Version, you get the vita version free?

@Fred i meant is there any plans to port Sonic adventure 1 & 2 and Nights to the vita like Jet Set Radio?

Also Fred i forgot to ask but when will you be able to pre-order Sly 4 from Amazon?

@Carl-G

I dunno if its on the system to buy yet or whatever, but Argos do have the new PS3 in stock. I work in one of their stores

I have 2 questions.
Is there going to be a plus preview next week?

If i buy a Ps2 game from the European store will it be playable on my US PS3?i know EU ps1 classics don´t work on US ps3.

@CoolRichy008UK:
Thanks for heads up, Report him/her.

hey can you please answer if we a getting plus discounts for any of the games on pre order on psn. Want to get little big planet karting and the assassins creed bundle with the vita game aswell but their $180 here in NZ

Hi Fred

I asked you something in the previous post in what makes a perfect kids game but there was no reply to anyone so going to copy and paste my question here.

Just want to ask you have you any news on dragon ball z budokai hd collection? I’m looking forward to this game for old times sake but would also like to know, is it possible the rumor about dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi hd collection could be released someday?

Also do you know if budokai 3 will have online?

By the way Fred, any truth to those rumblings of a PSN Store redesign at the beginning of October? Maybe this week? Go on, you know you wanna tell us

Does the Pinball Arcade cross-play DLC issue also affect those who bought it this week, or only those who, like me, bought it last week, when the PSVita version was not yet available?

I’ll take that as a confirmation then

Anyone, do NOT log in on the website above. It’s a scam, not an official Playstation site. Never log in to a site that is not HTTPS.

Hi

I am sure you are aware a number of people have purchased the PS3 DLC Pack 1 for Pinball Arcade earlier and then realized, a week later, that the Vita pack was not free for them. We are still waiting for an official reply about this. When will the issue be fixed?
I currently cannot download the VITA pack or unlock the tables beacuse the PSN wants me to pay once again.
I already paid for the PS3 pack so I just need to be able to downlaod the Vita version.
I hope you can reply to this and there is not another confidentiality agreement than prevent you from giving us an update.

@Fred Dutton

Thanks for the reply;) + I just checked today again on Argos & Amazon.co.uk sites & still no stock of the New PS3′s.
Argos did say – ‘Order into store to collect – Fri 5th – Sun 7th October’
& Amazon nothing yet(well it says – ‘Temporarily out of stock’ But they never had any in stock anyway yet):D I guess it is out later in those places then & wasn’t out last week in every shop in the UK which is very odd. Oh well;)

When is the new Pulse headset coming out in UK? I have asked Gamestation and they do not know anything about it.

Thanks! For the answer Fred. But have you speak to the product manager about Sly demo?

New PS Store look this month?

I cannot wait for CS:GO any longer. I was hoping to play it this week as it is the last week before school resumes for the final term (In Australia). I have lost all of my patience and when CS:GO does come out please make up for it and make it worth it.

Fred,

Playstation Mobile is launching in a couple of days, are you guys even going to promote it with a blog post?

yeah all of this is nice and all, but wheres that feature that will allow us to play any ps3 game we want on the vita while streaming it through 3g or wifi as promised at e3 2011, I bought a ps3 and vita for that purpouse I am less than happy that I can’t play any of my 30 ps3 games on my vita, so where on my ps3 is that feature and how do I access it and what do I need to select on my vita to make it work.

Hi Fred,

I put my heart in this request, I hope you or any other members of the blog staff could answear this…

It’s about a old Sony’s game, The Eye of Judgment… Many people spent a lot of money on the game and cards and some brought the game few weeks before the online ended (which was a very nasty thing to these people who supported sony’s this expensive game)…

I know the servers will never come back online, what I want to request is to make the dlc for set 2 and 3 free, or at least at a reasonable price… It’s never to late to make up with us, EOJ gamers and loyal sony costumers and as it is a first party and old title I think it is not that hard for you to make it happen…

My best regards
