The PlayStation Blog recap

Hey Free, could you please give word on when we can hear about the EU equivalent to the US GoW:A deal that nets all buyers a free code to obtaining the two new All Star DLC characters ? As the DLC is releasing on Wednesday, I’m assuming it will be Monday-Tuesday ? Regards

FRED* Sorry haha

I hope the April Plus content does not have any puzzlers. I think we have too many of them by now more than FPS. An RPG would be nice. Well let’s hope for better and exciting Vita games. I hope it’s not games I already own. = )

@ S-o-h-a-i-l:
It’s only a US offer. Hate to disappoint you. = (

@supersmith2500

Fred & Seth Killian confirmed there’s a EU equivalent of the deal coming. Fred mentioned on the GoWA post that they’d announce it before the DLC launches on Wednesday

That was a US offer – we’re just finalising details for the EU equivalent and will let you all know in advance of the DLC release next week.

@#6:

Hey Fred and bloggers.

Fred don’t know if you saw my other posts about this but my issue with zen pinball is sorted now so no need for you to chase that one up.

Been really enjoying tomb raider so far, I think I’m about halfway through so far( would be further but selfish baby’s keep taking up my time lol ) and its really good and I highly recommend it, can’t wait to snatch the dock when it returns to the store.

Next week should be good with the info of next months plus offerings and finally my patience will pay off when I grab the walking dead in the sale( hope so anyway chris has pretty much confirmed its this week it’s on sale) I think the walking dead game based on the tv show is out this week too and as much as I’m not an fps guy I’m going to have to snap up that title.

Anyway have a good weekend guys.

Apples auto correct is so annoying where my post says dock it should say dlc.

Welp another week of 2013 that goes.

First of all to answer the question: Yes I did pass the Trial

Secondly, this week has been more quiet (well, outdoors at least!), but still great. 2 sales, some news and that NG3:RE demo + Ascension

I’d like to say that I’m happy to hear that you guys at SCEE have been working with Seth and Santa Monica to bring us some kind of compensation for the All-Stars DLC offer. I see that lately this kind of things have improved on our end of the world, first with the Q-Force offer and now this. So a big thank you to SCEE from me

Hey Fred. Hope your ok, i got GOW_A on friday, but didn’t play it till late, finishing my pure survival playthrough, DS3, anyway while trying to redeem earned dlc the ea servers kept saying unable to connect with psn, after i stopped playing Dead Space, i noticed i Was signed in, but couldn’t enter account settings, got kicked of psn with some error code. so watched some tv, (walking dead episode), and decided to ‘begin’ my latest adventures with Kratos, And co. unfortunately i couldn’t sign back into psn, but internet on console worked. some suggestions about the error code were it might be that simple reset/turn router on/off, but others (a small few) were posting psn was down both friday night and yesterday, Can you say if it was, or am i going to need to keep eye out for a newer router. also Fred what happened to the 2 Free dlc’s for GOW that ‘Were’ in store yesterday, a armour and a (nasty lookin) sword. everytime i clicked on download i got booted outa store, now there gone, Can you let me know story about those please, So, am i ok (safe) to enter my online pass for GOW, as i dare not try since above started, though don’t mind waiting.

Hey Fred. Any chance you can find out whether we’re going to get the Crunchyroll app in Europe any time soon? I can understand if they’re trying to fix the current issues in the US but the silence is deafening!

Also can Anyone who bought GOW from Game tell me if i got what i was meant to, i pre ordered, thinking i get some mp armours, and in Game the games box has a picture of them on the back, but when i looked at mine on friday night the back of game-case looked standard, No picture of the armour, have i made a mistake Or has the guy in shop given me wrong edition, it does have code for 30 day plus, but no leaflet or info about these armours inside, just has online pass printed on back of instruction booklet, and as i mentioned before i haven’t redeemed the code yet.. i noticed a steelbook ed, and am hoping i wasn’t meant to pre order that for the 4 armour sets, No, am sure they (Game) said get the armour IF you pre order, otherwise what would my incentive be.. but for there to be no info in the case, strange, am talking myself into believing i been had, lol.. i ‘may’ have a spare online code to post tomorrow, as i won’t use this one till i get more info.

Any chance you can answer those questions Fred:

1. Any word on the price drop for the Vita yet?

2. Any word on the Crystal White Vita for Europe since the US had it since November now?

3. Any info on Q-Force for Vita or is it canned because if it is, The
cross-buy feature on the cover is consider false advertising.

4. Which day is the April Plus content going to be revealed? I really hope the Vita will get some great games not poorly made games like that Fishing game and Foosball like what the US has. Hope to see some great content soon and if possible, please don’t include puzzlers, I think we had too much of them now.

Any chance to get Little Big Planet PS VITA on PS+ anytime soon ? Or Max Payne 3 for PS3 ?

Hey Fred,

Is Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance also getting digital release in Europe ?

And what about digital release of GOW:Ascension ? Chris mentioned something for next week…

Thanks

When is blog post about April PS Plus goodies going up ?

Can we get an option to add the PS Plus content so it’s on our download list without having to start downloading immediately? You know, like it was before? You could put everything in the basket and “purchase” it and then download it whenever, but now there’s just a “Download” option, so I have to go through the process of initiating the download and then canceling it for every single item (those 32gb memory cards fill up fast).

Lets hope the ‘something for everyone’ includes some good discounts for PS+ members this time. PS+ is as much about the discounts as it is about the Instant Games Collection but you wouldn’t think that. Bring some balance to the offerings.

Hello, you should ask Playstation_FR, this week, many persons ask them where some RPGs where. Legend of Dragoon, the Breath of Fire series and the Suikoden series and Xenogears were mentionned.
All these games were released in Europe (and US) and as we have the Spyro US version on the Store, why can’t we have these ones as they are already on the US Store.
The demand is huge and you, and the editors, should know you would make a lot of happy fans (and money).
Playstation_FR just told us that no infos were available on these subjects, could you tell me a little more on “why these games are not on the EU store” please ?
Thanks in advance.

@HiddenAway
Just download the app from the American store works fine on a UK account.

Hey Fred i got some questions & Suggestions.

1.Is there any news about Ratchet & Clank Qforce Vita & Ratchet Gladiator HD?

2.Any news about us getting anything like a exclusive demo or something for having to wait 2 extra months for Sly Cooper Thieves in Time like the US got when they had to wait 2 extra months for the Ratchet & Clank Trilogy?

3.Any plans to update the PS Plus club in PS Home. It has not been updated since 2010. Also will there be any new things added to the club? I’m only asking since PS Plus got a huge upgrade with the IGC. Maybe add a TV or something in the club and maybe redesign it?

Anyway thanks for reading Fred

hey fred can you please answer if the bioshock 1 code comes in side every box of bioshock infinate as isnt advertised from the place i pre ordered so just wondering if its retailer specific

@redalertrules

Bioshock 1 is on the bioshock infinite disc.

Same idea as assassins creed 1 was on revelations disc.

@vincenth69

US import is a good idea for some game but not others. Suikoden for example the US version has a glitch in the transfer in Suikoden II which was fixed in the EU version.

Hey Fred,
when will the next PS+ games for April be shown??

I can’t wait to see what games will I get in April since on the 5th of April I have my birthday

I’m also curious on what the April IGC games will be… I have my birthday the 6th of April

haha nice

what games are you expecting to be in April’s PS+ games?

I’d hope for Rainbow moon release on the Vita with instant IGC (see what i did there?) =)

And Dragon Fantasy Book II (also the prequels).

But what I’d much better hope for is localization on several RPGs. Wouldn’t mind IGC on those, but I buy RPGs day one anyway hahaha

haha my biggest hope is just that its not a game that I already own
it kinda sucks that I bought ME3 and now it is free from the PS+ :/

I really really hope (though it probably never will in the next update)
that

-XCOM: enemy unkown

-Ni No Kuni

- Dark Souls

-MGS HD collection (PS3)

will one day get in the PS+ collection
though I have more suggestions, these are my top right now that I really want to get

Already have Dark Souls, but could’nt agree more on the rest of the list (Since I’m mostly a Vita player, That was my focus in the previous post)

Oh, and probably Darksiders II.

How is Dark Souls? is it good?
I really like games that offer a wide challenge while being fair

I con completely second what another_gamer195 has said. This weekend the PSN was really… whacky, specially on Friday. Acension disconnected me, the web Store didn’t load sometimes, some items disappeared, I could not log in to the Blog nor the web Store and it appeared as a “Page not available” or we’re under maintainance.

Anyways it’s all back and cool again since yesterday, so whatever it was it’s certainly fixed.

@mman1235: Don’t get Dark Souls then, it’s totally unfair. Actually, not true. It’s fair but punishes anyone who get overly bold, takes too much risk, or is sloppy. You need to stay on your toes all the time.

That said, it’s incredibly fun to play!

I second XCOM enemy unknown I would LOVE to play this game, either that or dragons dogma

Any idea when the WRC Powerslide trophies will be added to the server please. They’re still not showing. Thanks.

@chrisboers

that sounds really awesome
I like games that keep you on your toes.
it makes the game very exhilarating and puts alot of pressure on you.

which is one of the reasons I really want to get Dark Souls, and is why I hope so much it will be on PS+

the same goes to XCOM which is known to be rather tough and made people from what I’ve heard,
restart the whole game as they did sloppy and bad decisions

Hi Fred

This morning I just got two emails. One from Defiance and another from my retailer. I have been given two codes to play the beta on the PS3. I’m sure the Defiance code is fine but on the retailers it appears to be an Xbox 360 code (I think) cos it looks like this xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. And yes I have pre-ordered the PS3 version.

What must I do to get that the retailer one to swap to PS3? It explains under it how to use it on PS3 but it is the only code there and doesn’t fit in the redeem code box.

Also are we getting Payday 2 post anytime soon? Would be exciting to have. I see they have already released a trailer. Would be great if it was a PS3 and PC game seeing Payday the heist was but now I’m hearing Xbox will be getting the sequel. Any comments to say about this game?

Now I just tried the Defiance code and it doesn’t work. :S Could you get in touch with Elizabeth Tobey about this issue? Or perhaps is it just tomorrow we will be able to download after the store update?

Hi Fred

Got another email from my retailer and they admitted the problem. They have provided with the incorrect instructions. It is all fine now as all I need to do is wait for them to send another code. I had the game ordered at Amazon so if anyone else gets this problem, you can tell them they will get another email. If you wish i can copy and paste the correct instructions in here

Hello there I am currently enjoying playing god of war ascension and being a god of war fan and have played all the previous games I consider myself a bit of a veteran so when I heard about the trial of Archimedes being too hard I couldn’t wait to test myself on this so called hard level ! But as read on it mentioned that there will be an update /patch to change the difficult level of which I did not like to hear as I loaded the game up for the first time there was an update for the game . Was this the patch for the trial of Archimedes or something els.
if I beat the trial i won’t know if I have beaten it on this hard level or the patch to make it easier please let me know !
