First. Great update, already got some Ducktales time in and loving it, definitely does the original NES title justice. Huge thanks for Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2 also! Really can’t stand how so many people just want generic cookie-cutter FPS/TPS games over the sheer variety that PS+ offers. Indies are really bringing some fantastic innovation into gaming but it’s awful how closed-minded these casual gamers are today.
Keep up the great work, guys!
A-woo-ooh!
Where are the FFXIV ARR beta codes us beta testers need to get the Phase 4 Client so we can start playing on the 16th?
I have no idea I’m afraid, but I imagine if you’re part of a beta they’d email you the codes..? Sorry, don’t have any info on this.
wow great update , I think I’ll be definitely picking up DuckTales Remastered ,
thank you Grace for the great news
FFXIV!! Cant wait, if anyone is looking for people to play with add me :D We have a lot of people in our community waiting for this game to come out.
i don’t understand why GTA 5 don’t have PSN pre-order yet .. i am still waiting for GTA 5 to pre-order in psn store
$7.99 for Fruit Ninja. What.
One more thing, any word on Spelunky’s release date? Hoping that it’s this month as the PC release was last week, I believe. Also, Legasista REALLY needs a price drop! Or as a PS+ game in the future? *wink wink nudge nudge*
Nothing to announce today, but keep your eyes on the blog :)
why dont you guys put kingdom hearts avatars? its releasing next month … please tell me you guys will have some, kingdom hearts is one if the best playstation exlusives and theres no avatars for it
It’s up to the publisher to submit the avatars for us to put in the PS Store, but we can certainly see about getting in touch with them and see if they might have this on the way. Thanks!
Open Me! is an awesome game… finally an AR game worthwhile :)
Good update, finally Ducktales is here, just wondering when are we going to have the Avatars Europe is having… i love these memes avatars hehe
Was looking like a great week until I found out you had to buy packs for Open Me! and Fruit Ninja is $8 which is pretty ridiculous. I’ll buy the packs for Open Me! another time and Fruit Ninja when it goes on sale.
Besides that, I can’t wait to get into Runner 2 and I bought the DLC. I was going to wait for the Vita version but now it’s free so even better! I bought that PS3 Visualizer and Soul Sacrifice. I was going to get SS last week but decided to wait for a sale and I’m glad I did! I’ll buy the infinite ball pack for Breakquest sometime in the future because I’m broke as it is. I need to try the demos for A-Men and Mars: War Logs. Overall great week. Keep up the good work guys!
Great update, much better than the last few weeks. Will be getting Soul Sacrifice for sure. :)
By the way, forgot to say this but does anyone know if Thrillville: Off the Rails work on the Vita? I don’t have a Vita so I have no idea and I can’t find any information online. I would like have a roller coaster simulator to play on the Vita rather than Crash or Spyro.
Preordering this digital ffxiv will give us a early access code right?
If you go to add the game to your cart, you’ll see a pop-up that details the early access feature. :)
Demos, Discounts, pre-orders for a bunch of games, DLC, etc…
Great update folks.
Does anyone know when we will get the first DLC from the Last of us Season Pass ????
Is there a chance Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate be a PSN Pre-order and will it have the same DLC pre-order that Gamestop is offering? PLEASE ANSWER if u can.
Okay… first and probably the last time I’m ever going to complain about the update being too early, but I forgot to pre-order Duck Tales at the lower price, and was just turning on the PS3 and PC to see the store already updated before I could get it. You should keep the discounted prices.
Where’s DOA5+ for Vita? I thought it was going to be on sale this week as well…
Next week! https://blog.playstation.com/2013/08/12/ps-vita-game-sale-celebrates-japanese-developers/
Fruit Ninja isn’t only not worth 8$, it isn’t worth the megabytes it occupies.
Picked up Tomb Raider. I didn’t get the chance to buy it when it came out. I couldn’t pass it up for $20. I can’t wait to play it. Great update BTW.
Finally FFXIV!! Now where’s the beta code?
@Zieku Yes it will give you all the pre-order incentives including the early access, Cait Sith minion, and mog cap.
Gamescon sony press conference is next tuesday at 1:00pm Eastern Time if im not mistaken, are we gonna be able to watch it live here on the blog? are any North American studios having a presence there?
Again no motorstorm arctic edge on the vita store
Still haven’t seen a vita store update with any new psp or ps1 in how long? Do u even plan on adding anymore?
Final fantasy v
Sypro
Crash
Motorstorm
Twisted metal
Or even add the one that r transferable using a ps3
Also how bout fixing the vita store, I got ps1 games and psp and minis all in different parts of the store… u think that would b a easy fix now
Open Me on Vita sounds neat. I’ll give it a go.
More PSP and PSOne support for Vita, please!
All around great update Diablo III is a must pre-order and might finally pick up Tomb Raider at that price. Also $7.99 for Fruit Ninja is outrageous considering its just a port and offers nothing new.
7 years after the PS3 launched, we get to alphabetically sort our music, alphabetically sort our movies, our trophies are alphabetically sorted, but why aren’t our digital games sorted alphabetically? Why can we only sort by creation date and recently played?
Not talking about the store download list, but that would be nice too. No, I’m wondering why I can’t go to play a game in the list of 80 or so games I bought, PS+ games and demos, and have them alphabetically sorted. I am a bit OCD with it.
It’s funny how if you reset the PS3 File System that all the games default to alphabetical, but there is no way to keep them like that.
So, anyway I am just wondering why you guys have not implemented alphabetical sorting in a firmware update. And no, folders are not the same, and folders are not what I am asking.
Whoops, realized that DOA5+ is next week. NM!
Great update :-) I have a suggestion on having a deal on season passes one of these weeks thank you
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory — can we please get the character DLC?
good update…looking forward to play Ducktales again but i’m surprised no new Tales of Xillia add ons
I am loving DuckTails! It makes you wonder how we ever survived so long playing it on NES. Other than that, not much for me, although I may pick up something for Vita, even though I have no room left on my memory card!
$8 for Fruit Ninja, that is very expensive for a simple casual game, though it is very fun still. On Google Play it is FREE with ads or $1.22 ad-free. So how is $7.99 justified for the Vita version? Plants vs. Zombies on the Vita justified it’s higher price with lots of extra modes, what does Fruit Ninja Vita bring to warrant the $8 price tag?
yay i can finally play ducktails remastered.
Love the idea of a Vita sale but man many of those games aren’t that great, and since we’ve had so many fighting games come to plus I’m not interested in those.
But I have to ask why isn’t Persona 4 Golden on this list that’s arguably the best Japanese vita game released on the system.
Yay!!!!! DuckTales!!!!! Woo-oo!!!! Finally!! Now waiting on Castle Of Illisuions starring Mickey Mouse
Can anyone help me? I pre-ordered Ducktales: Remastered when it first became available on the PSN Store. Do I need to go to the PSN Store to get it? Cause I just checked it and it said ” Download now for 14.99!” So… what am I suppose to do?
Hmm, if you pre-ordered the game it should just allow you to download it. You should not be asked to pay for it again unless your pre-order didn’t go through for some reason. If you continue to run into trouble, I’d contact Customer service via chat or the phones: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/contact_options/
7.99 for Fruit Ninja !!!! holy hell…i understand dedicated handheld development ,and marketing is more costly than iOS & Android ,but i was expecting either FREE with IAPs like their last game Jetpack Joyride ,or at the very most 2.99-3.99 considering the game on moblie devices is either free to .99 cents or so. What a mark up i really wanted to play this on something other than my phone ,but not at that price. damn
Any idea if we will be getting a larger capacity memory card for the vita. My 32gb card has been full for a long time, and I would like to buy more digital titles but I don’t have the room. And I don’t want to invest into having multiple cards, and switching between them.
Nothing to announce at this time on this, but worst case scenario is that you can delete some of the titles you don’t play a ton to make room. You probably already know this, but for those who maybe don’t, you can always re-download if you get the itch to play them again.
DuckTales Remastered! At long last! Nostalgia awaits.
corny sales they all tomb raider add-ons. come onnnn stop that and put games on sale like you know, actualll psn games. owell maybe next time.
Nevermind, I guess it fixed itself.
Glad to hear it!
To add to my last post
Maybe if Fruit Ninja was cross buy with PS3 with PS Move and/or Cross Controller support would of been worth 7.99 ,but not as a barebones port
thanks for replying morgan. please try to get them (: btw great update !
@17 guitarded77 – As I learned from customer service, the Store begins its update procedures at 9:00 AM PST (IIRC), at which point any discounts and deals invalidate.
Is there a chance Saints Row 4 will be available for purchase next week, Please answer?
I think the first “sneak peek” at next week’s store content comes via the Blogcast, which posts on Thursdays.
Well i see the PS Store on the Vita is STILL broken. Seriously Sony, how long are you going to take to make the Store not freeze when trying to download stuff? This is a pretty basic thing that shouldnt be an issue for half a year now
So uh were is the Tales of Xillia new costumes? When are they coming
I’m not sure if there’s a specific costume you’re looking for, but there are some costumes available for Tales of Xillia right now!
https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/games/tales-of-xillia/cid=UP0700-NPUB31136_00-TALESOFXILLIA1DC%3AADD-ONS
I noticed in the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R details about the game list it as a ps vita and psn game. Does this mean we can play it on our ps3?
on tomb raider dlc. need to correctly list what is single player dlc and multi player. i having to look on steam and see wth the dlc on some of it is for
No Tales of Xillia costumes… I’m greatly disappointed. At the rate I’m going, I’ll beat the game before I can obtain any of the DLC costumes… what’s the point in buying them then.
See my response to #47 :)
