Playstation VITA Store revamped with embedded in-game Screenshots of Games

With every successive Playstation Store update Sony have been introducing something new leading to the Launch of Playstation Vita.

Here is an interesting addition to the already cool PSN Store design. Now Sony have included a Few in-game Screenshots in the Description tab of a particular PS Vita game.

Definitely a Smart move which actually increases the aesthetic value as well as ease of Navigation while choosing to buy a Game cutting short an extra step to have a gander at the Screenshots.

I hope PSV gets custom theme support as well.

darthv724438d ago

Id like to see them add in simple gameplay videos as well. Not where you have to download them but just watch simple streams of 30 seconds or so of what it would look like.

There are some ps3 games on the store that have a "preview" but I think there should be more. Especially when it comes to vita games. Im sure people can just go to youtube to see that but shouldnt that be something the store has too?

WitWolfy4437d ago

@darth, I agree nothing is more irritating than choosing a game by star ratings. Come on Sony add some screen shots AT LEAST!

Snookies124438d ago

Yeah, I was talking about this for a while. The PS3's Japanese PSN gets screenshots for their games in the descriptions, so I was wondering why we don't. Glad we're at least getting that for the Vita store. ^^

geniusgamerdoc4438d ago

Cool..
I never Knew Japanese Store had Screenshots on the Store..

On the Jap Store, were the Screenshots only for the PS3 games or also the PSP and Vita games?

Snookies124438d ago

I believe they were for PSP and Vita games as well, I'm not sure... I mainly went on there for PS3 demos haha.

farhad2k84438d ago

Anyone else get in on the Uncharted misprice?
£0.79 for the FULL GAME! About 2 hours ago. They've fixed it now. I hope Sony don't get rid of it :(

StanSmith4438d ago (Edited 4438d ago )

Yeah i got it. I wasn't planning on purchasing a Vita, but if Sony let me keep Uncharted for 79p then i will definitely be purchasing one. I'm just waiting to see what happens now.

KillerPwned4438d ago

It is about damn time they do this...Now just do it with the PS3 store.

Blaine4438d ago

Yup, they should have done this a long time ago!

It's not easy to commit to a purchase if you know nothing about a product... I always go online and watch some videos, maybe read some reviews. But I'm sure the majority of people don't bother doing that and just don't buy the game instead.

Having simple things like screens and video previews will help sales.

smashcrashbash4437d ago

Ummm.... I could be wrong but I think the PSN store does have video previews. I have looked at a few of them myself.

Blaine4437d ago

I've never seen that option. But then again, I've never even had the comics store for PSP either. Could it be because I'm in NA/ Canada/ Quebec?

InklingGirl4438d ago

Be nice to see that feature on American PS3's.

BitbyDeath4438d ago

Disagree, all PS3's would be better

svoulis4438d ago

PRO TIP!

Press the PS button and start to take screen shots...

Once again..

PS button and start at the same time...

Success

geniusgamerdoc4438d ago

PRO TIP #2

Double Check whether the Charge pin is inserted to the Vita with PS logo facing Upwards.
Inserting it in the wrong way will still snugly fit but fails to Charge the Battery at all.

svoulis4438d ago

Yeah it worries me a bit, did you see how thin the port is inside..scary stuff

illmatic4438d ago

i hope this update comes to the actual Vita. I have been wanting this since day 1. *crosses fingers*

solidt124438d ago

They already put the store update on the Indian store. Im on my Vita now and i keep checking but no US update yet.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5061d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905061d ago (Edited 5061d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5061d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5061d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495060d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5060d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5060d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
