That's a piece of **** about Tekken if true

I thought the PSN store was supposed to be good ? Bar my initial dalliance just after purchase when obviously there was content I was interested in there has been absolutely NOTHING since.

I want Pain, I want Wipeout, I want Tekken online - where's all the games ffs ?

Ya jokin aren't yer? It's been shice since day one. I got the Tekkenge online by doing the Wirecard thing, but that's gone wrong for people who try to join up to it now.

Another Wirecard transaction will take place for me later on when PixelJunk Racers goes up on US store (apparently).

[Yoshimax]

Yeah but it was good on day 1 for me because I was late to it and there was a few bits & bobs for me to grab (CAC, Tekken, GTHD, Stardust) but I simply cannot believe the utter lack of almost anything of note since.

It's like even though they delayed by a year they still released the console too soon because they've got hee-haw for anyone to play on it.

p.s I said I thought it was meant to be good because several members of this forum posted as much before I bought my PS3.

That SCEA fella said in many interviews over the E3 period that he recognizes that the content on the PSN store is thin and that the team are currently focusing on beefing it up. He named Warkawk and Socom... all the others like Pain etc. I suppose it'll pick up soon.

The EU store is absolutley shocking compared to what pops up elsewhere else. The asian stores is full of classic PS titles, extra content for games etc. The US store gets lots of stuff early and demos. We get Blu-fecking-ray trailers. Well fook off! lol. The store is a shambles and we deserve better for putting faith in the dust magnet.

Socom due this year?

I agree although i bought the XBLA version why isnt puzzle fighter up on the UK store yet, i know i can buy it from the Us store if i want but thats not the point, its shambolic to say the least.

[fishbowlhead]

There realy is no excuse for delays and different prices (not that prices has become an issue, yet) on an online distribution network, its fecking instant compared to releasing a retail game, theres almost nothing to worry about.

I aggree on the EU store, its a joke quite frankly, this holding back of content is really starting to grate, no puzzlefighter, not online tekken, a ratchet demo thats been done for months, no lair demo, i could go on and on.

[Yoshimax]

You can't complain though - because it's free 'innit

[fishbowlhead]

technicly thats true, and i did begrudge micosost the 40quid sub for that when i had a 360, and tbh i much prefer the games on psn.

I just want more

EU store updated, FIFA is on there.

[saif]

Unfortunately, PSN only really shines if you have the three major accounts (OK two - the EU one is almost redundant).
The Japanese one is totally games led - I like that. Far fewer film trailers.

[Jebus]

Have they ever actually stated why the EU store is so neglected, I mean officially?

[JP]

...a ratchet demo thats been done for months...

I think there is a fair reason for them not to release that one until this month though. It makes far more commercial sense for companies to release demos as close to release as possible so the game is fresh in peoples minds when it's released.

[saif]

EA have provided so many demos - it is amazing. Even more amazing is that all of the sports games I have tried have been pap.
I guess they are OK until you play them but all have apparent frame rate issues, if FIFA is running at more than 30fps, someone should tell them that each "f" needs a frame of animation.

I'm glad I could try them though - seems to justify the decision not to try them in such a long time.

[ChrisF]

I think Peter Moore went on record (about 5 minutes after getting the job) to say that EA haven't really got to grips with the PS3, and that these "early" releases aren't as good as they'd have liked. If that's any consolation. Probably not I'd imagine

[Yoshimax]

You must've missed the outcry saif - Most PS3 EA Sports titles this year run at half the fps of the 360 versions.

It's shocking.
