It’s been a few rough weeks for the European PlayStation Network Store. Dyad still hasn’t made an appearance, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was released everywhere except the EU PS Store and now the third episode of The Walking Dead is up on every store and platform around the world except the European PlayStation Store. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD also seems to be absent from this week’s store update, despite appearing on the US PSN Store yesterday. Tony Hawk is skating on to the store, apparently – see below.
We’re not sure what’s going on but customers are loudly complaining, not always in the most reasonable manner or in the right direction, but the displeasure is growing. It’d be nice to see SCEE take this issue in hand and do whatever it takes to make it go away.
Right, enough of that negativity, let’s have a look at the goodies you can grab from the store today.
There’s a new Move party game being released. It’s called Lights, Camera, Party! and it’s built on the Unreal Engine. Basically, it’s a collection of family-friendly mini games set in a wacky gameshow. Looks like a bit of fun and the kids will probably love it.
There’s also the Trial & Unlock for Rock Band Blitz, the Mass Effect 3 Leviathan DLC and the final demo of PES 2013. The Vita has nothing this week.

UPDATE: It seems that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD will be appearing after all… the PS Blog just had a ninja update to include the following:
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD takes the best elements of the classic THPS games and gives them a fresh update for today. Tapping into fans’ muscle memories, the gameplay returns to controllers and focuses on the satisfaction of linking sick tricks for maximum points. Combining sharp visuals and fresh online modes, the feel is cutting edge yet timeless.

We can only assume they forgot about it when they prepared the “Head’s Up” post.

Reading RockBand Blitz, does that mean it’s both a standalone game and DLC for RockBand 3?
Is it patched into RB3? Or is it just compatible with all the RockBand songs?
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is a no-brainer for me, even without multiplayer.
Spelunker DLC is interesting, but I’m useless at that game.
Also, final demo for PES already? Excellent, I’ll give this one a go.
Greg Aldridge
RBB is a standalone game. You can play its 25 songs in RB3. Any tracks you have downloaded for RB/RB2/RB3 can be played in RBB. If you’ve exported RB and RB2 tracks you can play those in RBB. The only inaccessible tracks are those on the RB3 Blu-ray (or DVD for XBoxers). Think that covers everything.
colmshan1990
Ah, excellent.
Definitely buying that so. It’s both a standalone game, as well as a trackpack for RockBand 3. Don’t think I can say no to that, although I am a bit disappointed I can’t use the RB3 disc songs as well as RB1,2 and presumably DLC I’ve bought too.
hazelam
not even gonna bother to comment, other than to say i’m not gonna comment.
who said “good”?
i heard you.
maybe next week will be better with the plus update.
except i just remembered, it’s RDR, which i’ve already got.
still, maybe i’ll give the online another go, an influx of new players might mean i could be one of the high level players in an instance. ^_^
not that that will last long. :(

Do they not put install sizes on the updates anymore then? I would be interested to know what sort of size THPS HD is (although it would be handy to have sizes for everything of course).
It’s been a while since i’ve downloaded anything other than patches & whatnot, but suffice to say, i am not exactly swimming in HDD space at the moment! :S
R1MJAW
Just for you Forrest, THPS HD is 395Mb.
Forrest_01
Really?? That’s actually rather acceptable.
Can we just say that it’s 5.5GB so that i don’t download it later? Ta. :)

You beat me to it by 1 min, downloading now …slowley

and 4.21 is required

Whats going to be different about ‘PES Demo 2’ ? DIfferent teams perhaps? Surel no drastic changes could have been made do the game in that time.

The grass is a bit greener. :)

Every week I hope Dyad will be available here :o/

It’s 1 man job so it will take a while.

Whilst that is true, it was apparently submitted to SCEE at the end of July, so either QA found something wrong with it or they’re just dragging their heels.
Greg Aldridge
Yay, Rock Band Blitz! Think I’ll celebrate by spending the few pence left over from the tenner on Call Me Maybe from the SingStore. :-p

Dat mom…
By the way, I just read that Borderlands 1 will be free for PS+ members to celebrate the release of BL2 starting 04.09.2012 (if I recall correctly…). I already have two copies of the game and am not a Plus member but there might still be a few people who haven’t had the chance to enjoy this great game.
Dlaf42
Borderlands has been up for plus members since last week….i downloaded it and gave my disc version away.
KeRaSh
Fair enough. As a non-Plus member, I’m obviously not in the loop… :P

I want counter strike ):
