‘Heads-Up’ Store Update 28th November 2012

Please, Avatars & Soundtrack Okami HD

Again, I’m not surprised that Retro City Rampage is missing. Silly.

It has been well over a week and Black Ops II season pass is still mispriced at £42.

Look, £35, PSN vouchers sold in stores for season pass are £35. I know is a reply somewhere from ast week you said it being looked into…how hard is it to phone activision/whoever and double check pricing?

@Cheeky4Life – Why do you wait for the blog every Wednesday to be first with the same question over and over? They’ve already given you an answer, several times. There won’t be any ‘updates’ until it releases, simple as that – standard SCEE policy.

There was an interview with the maker of RCR and it was here. He decided to make some changes to the game after its US release based on feedback which is why it has been delayed everywhere else and on other consoles.

Are you going to explain where Tomba 2 went?

This may well become be my regular post now until it happens (because it needs to happen, for everyone’s sake).

The Plus section on the Vita store needs to include ALL Vita compatible Plus content, not just the Vita stuff. Is there even a way to buy avatars on the Vita store?

Some filter/sort options like the new PS3 store would also be great.

A few questions

Where is SotN? It has been over a month since Konami released a statement saying it was going to be released but that has yet to happen. Also Spyro, any update?

The Strike series, Soviet and Nuclear Strike, and the spiritual sequel Future Cop. Any chance that the first two will hit the PlayStation Store any time soon, they are both up on the US Store. Second question, Future Cop is already out but it isn’t compatible on the Vita, any chance?

PS1 Imports, you guys had this section of the old store for a reason, the reason I assume was so you could bring in games with as little work as possible needed. So what happened? the games I have mentioned up to now are all available in the US, what exactly is stopping you guys throwing them under imports like before?

GTA games, I posted in the GTA Sale post but I figure why not here too. Rockstar currently offers GTA1/2 for free on PC, I would love to be able to play these games on PS3/Vita and give you my money for them, lol.

Mass Effect, any news, update or future post on its release? We know it is coming 4th of December in the US and hitting here 7th, but so far there has been no media of the game and barely any information, and also, trophies? lol.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night? Anything?

@55 they are still working a few kinks out on Tomba 2. They keep us updated via twitter. Just look up monkey paw games. It is coming fear not

What the hell! No Far Cry 3 avatars? EU store is pathetic

As usual: disappointing.

NA store gets lots of contents and sales and we get the least. Always.

I may take a look at QForce

is there a typo on the price of Q-force and why is it not out in ireland until the 30th

Will Rock Band ever have ReinXeed or Dragonland T_T oh and the Ubisoft take on it is a rip-off some of them songs can be bought for like 99p, ridiculous.

Anyway!

I bought PS All Stars Battle Royale for the Vita through the PS Store last week. The game still does not let me play the full version. I have given customer service my proof of payment, screenshots of my email confirmation and transaction history on the vita. Last they said was “we’re fixing it” and that was 5 days ago. I am still without my game, and my bank is 34.99 poorer. I have emailed customer service many times since and they have stopped responding to me.

What is going on? Do you know any info about this?

Hi Jawad,
Is there any update on the scandalous misprice of the Black ops II season pass?

It has been well over a week and Black Ops II season pass is still mispriced at £42.

If you could please provide some feedback that would be great.

Hi
any news on Tomba for the Vita?

Bring on the moaners…..

I saw already other people played WRC 3 for Vita, but selling it is not present in the ps Store too. Sorry for my bad English.

another week another failure, why don’t you guys actually just shut down the whole off SCEE nothing improving anyway no new games no old games well let’s just say no games at all been added.
still no
CS:GO
RSR
youtube App which jawad said coming soon
no ps2 classic been added in a long time
where the hell are the ps1 classic U.S been having for years
you guys sure lie a lot at SCEE saying that you prioritize newer games and all we see is delayes and excuses. you guys can’t even get new games meaning we will never see the old one’s
SCEE is also the only 1 that doesen’t make old games compatible with Vita unlike U.S that adds old title’s that been converted.

SCEE one big failure and should go bankrupt. run by pencilpushers and not gamers half the time they don’t even know title’s when asked that are missing.

Store is messed up for me. If I download a vita demo on my vita. I can’t buy the full game on my ps3? Also unable to purchase playstation allstars via vita or ps3. Can’t purchase when Vikings attack because my pre order got cancelled due to lack of funds. Even though the store wasn’t updated got cancelled at 1:00 am? Thought I would have been able to pre order without the payment being taken until the store was updated. Or at least the on screen message was that the payment would be taken after the launch date.

R&C price lower than the shops 0_o Just a shame games like Family Guy are asking £50 !!

JAWAD will Mass Effect 1 be coming on the store on its own ?

..Now back to Far Cry 3 #GOTY

Does the Sega sale include the psvuta version of Jet Set Radio or is it just the ps3 version? Why did sega not put the price at 11.99 or something and run it as a cross buy game where u get both versions. Daft if you ask me. Mike Kebby yas alot to answer for. Lol

good to see us plus members are getting our moneys worth lol, the updates are becoming a joke no wonder sonys sales this year have plummeted, at least we got a heads up of the poor support we will get for the next gen

@FrIeD-GoAt Jet Set Radio Vita came out last week!

Why don’t developers communicate when their games get delayed on PSN? Is it them just being quiet (and (CENSORED) everyone off), or is there a contractual reason?

Pleasantly surprised with the Corvette C7 Test Prototype ’13 GT5 DLC! Will look forward to getting that! And It’s Free! Will also take advantage getting Jet Set Radio On Sale

To everybody asking about Castlevania Symphony of the Night, this was posted on the Konami website some time ago:

Symphony of the Night delayed on return to PlayStation(R)Network

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has revealed a delay to its resurrected PSone classic, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, for PlayStation(R)Network.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the game will now appear towards the end of the year. Symphony of the Night was the first Castlevania to offer an open-world level design and RPG elements, and KONAMI will issue details as to when European Castlevania fans can lay hands upon Alucard again very soon…

Where is Tomba 2? Why did you take it down from last week?

I was planning on buying this ps1 classic just as I noticed it suddenly vanished.

Ratchet and clank q force download size please jawad!?

@26 So – you’re happy about R&C being “only” £11.99?

Are you also “happy” about EIGHT day one DLCs for it £1.19 a pop?

NOT ME!

I’ve cancelled my order for this game a few minutes ago because I’m really tired of this DLC milking business. Shame on you – Sony and Insomniac!

Here’s a little hint,DO NOT ORDER GAMES OFF PS STORE you know what’s going to happen,then when it does you (CENSORED) and moan about it on here like it’s Sony’s flaut as its actually your flaut for pre ordering games from the store,you all know what Sony’s like but you don’t (CENSORED) listin.

@JAWAD just want to double check. If i buy the lost and damned from the ps store i dont need the original gta4 disk in to play it?

RE: Sine Mora Refunds

I’ve already called Playstation Support over 5 times. They just explain that they’re aware of the issue and that the money will be refunded soon. The first day they said 24hrs max and that was a week ago, now they just say “soon”. It’s getting silly now, I want my money back.

@78: 3.7 GB

I’ve probably spent more money phoning Sony trying to get my refund than I even spent on the game :’)

@RemyX-1988

guilty gear will be next year for SCEE and with all the other games they failed 2 release…maybe cause knowning SCEE they hope we will just forget so they can stop caring for bringing it here. like so many games.

Why have you cancelled the normal ps vita discounts since plus came along?? Will they be back?

@82 nice one fella!

I’m still waiting on a reply from Acti about the COD season pass pricing, considering they said they would reply within 24 hours and its now been 4 days….. I get the feeling they’re avoiding the issue :/

black ops 2 season pass is £32 on Xbox so we was already being ripped off by £3 but now we are being ripped off by £10, I checked an exchange rate site and £42 is $66 and ps3 users in US have it for $50 that is CRAZY.
if this doesn’t get sorted i’m going to report Sony/Activision to Watchdog in the UK under fair tranding standards because we are being ripped off.
anyone else who is upset should report to watchdog aswell

Where is the dead or alive 5 Doa5 Costume Pack 4 Bundle? I can’t find it

#87 the same thing is happening to me with PS All stars. I’m pasting my message.

@dark_overlord

sent them an email 12 hours ago ill wait for my response

@kyliedog

sony responded that activision set that price even though activisions recommended retail price was £34.99, have emailed acti waiting for a response before i take this to watchdog.

The download list is STILL messed up, as in most of my downloads are marked the 1.10.2012. Sort your database out!

@65: Yes, there’s something seriously wrong with the PS Store version… …i have noticed it’s not on Vita’s store anymore, i mean it’s there but there’s no “buy” button, only game page(?!?) So, i guess this means they noticed there’s something wrong and pulled it from the store to fix it and hopefully they will put it back very soon.

terrible , drastic, drama , emotional, what a laugh , ps eu, Im getting sad, last week was aight, but this ,, COMMON yo!

@jawad

most of the walking dead episodes took ages to come to psn but you managed to get episode 4 and episode 5 at around the same time whatever you did to get them released on the correct day you should start doing with RCR and CS:GO ill let spyro go since its getting converted (sorta)

Any news on vita dlc for wrc 3? The official facebook page says today but it’s not listed.

@biosnova

count your blessings having over a 1000 downloads is cringe worthy when looking for an item
