PlayStation Store Preview – July 31st 2012

This week, the PSN Play promotion kicks off with The Expendables 2: The Video Game. Each week thereafter, new titles will release, and the more you buy the more you gave back in PlayStation Store credit. That’s a steal. And so is Grand Theft Auto III re-releasing as a PS2 Classic for just $9.99. The PlayStation Vita goes back into hiding for the week, but comes alive yet again next week when Sound Shapes finally releases. - PSLS

My Vita really needs some love... Yet another week with nothing.. C'mon Sony! At least bring Malicious or PS1 games on board!!

BTW:

to all who bought Resistance: Retribution last week on their Vita, the Multiplayer actually works.. Not sure if it's because I already had an account before and played it on my PSP, but it picked up where I left off years ago when I stopped playing and I just ranked up... hope to see you guys on - line!!

[dbjj12088]

Agreed. I'm dying for PS1 classics support (SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE AT LAUNCH!!!)

[MostJadedGamer]

For the life of me I cann't understand why people want to play old games. There is no way that those games are still fun to play in 2012.

[Rainstorm81]

Wrong post...

[Sithlord-Gamble]

@ MostJaded ...

Im sure some of those games are fun to lots of people ...
But overall i agree with you.

I didnt buy a Vita to play old ass games.
Rereleasing them as HD and adding trophy support is one thing, but just making it compatible for ps1 ... no thx.

I have a playstation 1 & 2 if i want to play those games.
I bought my Vita for NEW games.

[Trenta27]

All these promised things and still nothing. They said PS1 support long ago and still nothing. It almost makes me want to sell it.

[MostJadedGamer]

So you biught a PS3 to play PS1 games? That is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. When I buy a new console I buy it for next Generation experiences not to play a bunch of old stale games.

[Trenta27]

Umm. No. I was talking about ps1 support for the Vita, not the PS3. I have no idea what you are talking about.

[TENTONGUN]

what gets me is no ps2 game support as well.

[cjflora]

While it would be nice to play PS1 games on the VIta, your claim of considering selling it because it doesn't really makes me question why you bought it in the first place.

[PooEgg]

@Mostjadedgamer

Just like once in a while it is nice to read an old book, or watch an old movie or TV show, it can be very nice to occasionally revisit video game classics. While some old games get worse over time, many get better with age. You should try it sometimes, then perhaps you won't feel so jaded anymore. ; )

[Lord_Sloth]

Patience. Supposedly a Monster Hunter title is on the way.

[ThanatosDMC]

If only a Monster Hunter game would go on Vita... i'd actually recharge my Vita again. It's just in my drawer next to my uncharged tablet.

MGSHD was the last game i played on it.

[TENTONGUN]

@thanatos

dude i hear ya, i charged mine last week and acually forgot my pass code its been so long. after a few tries it locked me out for a while. back in the drawer. cmon madden

[Xof]

Wait, so we've finally passed the point where complaining about the constant stream of "nothing" for the Vita is no longer immediately met with fanboy attacks?

Huh. And to think it only took 2 months.

[kikizoo]

the fanboy attack is when people are constantly complaining (sometime even without vita XD)

[WeskerChildReborned]

That's pretty neat that Resistance : Retribution's multiplayer works but i agree, PS Vita certainly needs some more love.

[doctorstrange]

OMG The Expendables 2!!! That game seriously should not have been a part of PSN Play, so many other worthy games.

GTAIII is awesome tho.

[Sev]

Yeah, they should have added Malicious to it. Or Retro/Grade. Doesn't make sense.

[WeskerChildReborned]

I'm looking more forward to CS:GO than Expendables 2.

[cervantes240]

I would love to see GTA3 eventually arrive on PS Vita.

[Sev]

Yeah, seriously. Although I hear that GTA: Chinatown Wars was just made compatible with Vita.

[mafiahajeri]

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron demo? Well that's just PRIME!

[waltyftm]

It's Mega(tron) stuff.

[Drithe]

WHY CANT I PLAY CRASH BANDICOOT ON MY VITA!!! ARRRGGHH!!

End of Line.

[xGet_In_There]

YES! I was playing it via remote play not too long ago but had a little lag. Cannot wait for this 1.80 update!

[JAM_brz]

Where´s the full PS3 games that supposed to be released this week for PS+? "I expect you all enjoy the surprise we´ll make with the Instant Game Collection games next week".
So I ask: where are all these games? I feel that I shouldn´t have acquired the PS+.

[Rainstorm81]

Tuesday is the 31st, they usually add new free games the first Tuesday of the month...

[JAM_brz]

But that's not what the PSN blogger said in the last week. He said the games would be added this week. And I believed him.
