PSUni: How Sony Can Improve the PSN Store

PSUni: "PlayStation Network is a great place to get a lot of games, videos, and other content that can enhance the gaming experience. Purchases and downloads are quick and the store is organized neatly into games, videos, and other sections, but there’s one thing that would make the store much better: a more simplified search feature."

I want the old store back. I feel it's easier to navigate and loads faster.

I do like the presentation of the new store, it does look modern.

iamnsuperman4124d ago

It seams the new store was never tested on consoles but was on the web browser. The web browser version works so well and I can only assume they ported it over to give the same look and feel but it is horrible. It doesn't work very well. The old store was pretty simple (except the search function) which I never understood the complaints. The new store would be great if they improve the stability of it because parts of it keep crashing

I like the new store, they finally got all the psp junk out my way when all I want is stuff for my ps3.

MmaFan-Qc4124d ago

i like the look of the the new psn and its quick search fonction, ...but god damn its SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

There's no "feeling" to it.

I've timed the new store. The fastest task it's managed to complete is adding an item to the cart in ~75 seconds.

Removing items from the cart tend to crash the store.

Sony has built up a lot of goodwill over the years, but IMHO most of it has vanished over the past few thanks to their abominable decisions re: the PS3 and Vita.

Janitor4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

Change it back maybe? Seriously what was wrong with the old one?

Also, I just got NBA Jam because of plus, and I'm pretty sure I clicked like 12 times to download it. Click click add to cart click click confirm accept click click download.

rpd1234123d ago

That happens to me too. But it happened when I entered a super voucher code for Uncharted 1 and 2 and I ended up having to go trough and push download for every individual item. Such a pain in the ass.

HarryMasonHerpderp4124d ago

The new store is an epic fail.
Looks nice but barely works, is full of bugs and the search engine sucks.
Also the Vita store should be brought up to the top and not stuck at the bottom of the selection screen where no one can see it.

The search engine sucks? No that's too nice.

A full keyboard layout versus the new vertical alphabet. I rage every time I have to use the thing.

DA_SHREDDER4124d ago

what pisses me off is that you can't find anything, and its a long process. The only reason why I think they changed it is cause the ps4 will have an updated psn and the ps3 psn store will need to be the same as the ps4 store.

GreenRanger4124d ago

It's like looking into a bucket full of bats, i'm almost afraid to move around the store.
They should go back to the old design.

WilliamH4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

Maybe organise the download list into different categories such as full games, demos, add ons, themes instead of having to scroll through an enormous list of everything I downloaded over the years. Also a little icon beside all items in your download list letting you know what's downloaded and installed on your system, this would be especially handy for add ons.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis4h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast3h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg23h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7223h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 1h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK21h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast3h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake20h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast3h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon15h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast3h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
