SCEE on Missing PSN Titles: "We're doing our best to resolve it."

BritishGaming.co.uk quizzes Sony Europe, Capcom, HotHead and others on the state of Playstation's European Store, with titles such as Street Fighter 2 Remix, Penny Arcade and Lumines Supernova, unavailable to European PS3 owners.

[PirateThom]

Don't worry, guys... SCEE is on the case...

:-/

[ppisatosspot]

i don't find that re-assuring, if anything you have got me more worried lol.

[GVON]

stuff sfhd I'm going to wait until kof 12 comes out now for my 2d hit

[Israfel]

That is the only way to resolve it.

[silvacrest]

im probably missing something huge here but why cant they do a cut and paste of the US psn titles like Israfel said?

at least for the english speaking europeans countries

[Karum]

I'll believe they're working to resolve it when it actually is resolved.

SCEE is a joke in more ways than just PSN releases, Europe gets the shaft on preorder deals and even some collectors editions (Resistance 2 for example).

It's ridiculous that it takes so long for these games to come to the EU store. If MS can treat their store as a single worldwide entity then there is no reason the different divisions of sony can't collaborate and do the same thing.

[Shane Kim]

And not only those titles, the PS One classics as well. It's nothing to cry about really, but why oh why can't they release Alundra on EU PSN.

[Cajun Chicken]

Yeah, they really need to start delivering the PSone classics by now.

[MazzingerZ]

Go to your system setting and change your system language to, for instance, Swedish.

boot up Resistance 2...you'll notice eveything is in Swedish, including swedsih dub...now go online, you'll notice that even the co-op includes swedish dub

Now, boot up LittlebigPlanet, same thing...Swedsih dub...go online, you'll notice all the Tags in the Search function are in swedish...there's a lot of work behind the game with cross references in 16 languages

Trophies for all games are also localized.

the point here is that Sweden is a country of 8 million people, that SONY cares about us and other small languages in Europe and Scandinavia is fantastic and plausible, my kids really enjoy games in their language.

Microsoft has ZERO localization, at least for Scandinavia, for some reason they think a 6 year old kid should already know english...VP2 and the Banjo games were only released in English...WTF?...dissapointing

US and UK people don't see the great job of SCEE regarding localization as their native language is English, which is the base language for the game...and at the same time US and UK people don't see the flaws in MSFT's localization because they happen to speak the only language MSFT does...but in reality there's no comparision between SONY and MSFT regarding that matter, for me SONY is the only option.

The best would be to release the game at the same time when the PAL version is ready...but look at SOCOM, we'll be getting the "complete" version soon in Europe...it was more headaches for US people playing the game than fun, at least in the beginnning.

about games...

I'm still playing Valkyria Chronicles which the PAL region got first...and I still have left to play Soldnar-X, Crash Commando and Savage Moon (PAL region first)

I need to beat those games before February 25 when Killzone 2 is released...ooohh yes, PAL region getting it first.

Don't get it why people complains about those missing games... I'm sure they don't buy anything anyway...there's a lot of games right now on PSN...we are missing just a couple.

[kvg88]

But us North American's still havn't gotten Dark Mist or Savage Moon either - injustice I tell you! lol

[KidMakeshift]

I was about to say. Dark Mist is awesome. I bought a Japanese PSN card just so I could get that and it's expansion. It's like a next-gen remake of the original Zelda

[rajman]

Is there any point in releasing SSFII Turbo HD Remix now as Street Fighter 4 is just around the corner? I purchased the game from the US PSN store, but if I hadnt I wouldnt buy it when it hits the EU store as I'll be playing SF4

[ppisatosspot]

2 points

1) I want ALL purchases, stats and transfactions on my main account
2) I want both SF2HD remix and SF4

[mastiffchild]

No PP he's rght Sony (and also Capcom) have ost money through their neglsct(yet again) of the very loyal Euro PS3 fanbase. Is the PS£ lagging here like in NA? No, no it isn't. And our reward? Sub-standard service compared to the US that by comparison couldn't give a rats arse about PS3. Most people will only want one of the HD SF games when they're released as close together(if SF2HDTR ever gets out on euro PSN)and the loss of income will be obvious.
SCEE are the worst part of Sony's regional set up and the treatment us europeans get(and remember we often wait months longer for some retail releases)is scandalous when we pay even more for our consoles than other areas yet remained loyal.
Sony need to get these isiots either shaped up or shipped out or come next gen we may no longer be there. Honestly, it's a damn good job th 360's I had were the biggest pieces of sh1t ever made(in terms of reliability)or they'd have lost me b now. Evry week there's more reasons to detest SCEE and I'm sick to death of their" we're working on it" BS. They emaild me back that the SF2HD delay was legal reasons so why is it radily available on Live? They expect us to swallow anything anmd it's only because MS sold us faulty hardware that we've has to take it this gen otherwise Sony would have been a lot worse off in Europe.
Sony, imo, do far more to advance gaming with their policy of investing in studios/games than MS do with their copy and throw money at devs for Sony sxclusives while closing FP studios so my problem isn't with the monther company. However, now much of gaming requires an online service Sony need to look seriously at making SCEE heads roll. They make Sony look bad and fail on every level to give a similar(let alone near equal quality) service to Europeans as SCea and Sony Japan do for their cared for customers.
It's a mess with no excuse bar incompetence and the fact they do it to one of their most loyal areas is plain outrageous. SCEE? I'm not sure they know whaat either of those E's stands for if I'm frank.

[TheColbertinator]

Speaking of laziness I still have not seen Savage Moon on the US PSN store.

Where are all those PS1 games that are in the Japanese PSN?

How come Canada doesn't have a video store like the US? It only has two languages.

Where are the free MMOs?

When is the Namco arcade room getting to the western sections of HOME?
Truly awful

[Cajun Chicken]

...SORTED

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

SCEE F*ck off with your p*ss poor service... Listen to our feedback and pull your fingers out... I wouldnt mind but it has been going on for over a year and we constantly complain and get NOTHING!

SCEE suck plain and simple

/rant mode off

[40cal]

I know it dose suck that SCEE is not on the ball with everything. But you guys in Europe do have more PSX games than the US store. Sony needs to put all content up at the same time in all markets.

I made a PSN account for Europe, Hong Kong and Japan. And all the stores have there pros and cons.

Europe is still lucky though, I want Play TV in the U.S.

Japan has GPS for PSP, I also want this for the U.S.

[devilhunterx]

They should make a game out of the delays or start a betting pool...

[PirateThom]

If they made a game out of it, Japan would probably get it first.

[ongbakurhead]

Inept

[Kushan]

And once again Europe gets shafted!
SCEE are useless, but you know what I'm not happy with Live's European offerings, either. Our marketplace pales in comparison to the US marketplace, so Sony aren't the only ones neglecting us.

[KidMakeshift]

The US marketplace pales in comparison to the Japanese marketplace

[specialguest]

With SF4 just around the corner, who's gonna want to purchase SF2 HD once it finally hits PSN?!? Sales potential lost right there.

[Skynetone]

still waiting for st-fighter

picked up magic ball which is surprisingly decent, but why does it have a long winded intro watching developers names, psn games should be fast loading with no added crap

[Neurotoxin]

Sony Europe cannot even tie their shoe laces without first taking off the shoe for close inspection...... and repeat.

On the matter of SF-HD, if anyone wants it now instead of waiting for the monkeys in Europe to press a button. Go on Ebay and buy a $20 PSN card for the US Store, make sure its from a power seller and they email you the code within a few hours, then download off the store. I did it last month works fine :).
