Popular Post Niilismo Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 14 hours ago, MrHealthy said: Which means they are literally just referencing a database that still exists and had to go out of the way to exclude all the other PS3 and Vita games. This is the worst part about all this. They had zero reason to exclude games for legacy systems. If they didn't want the web store to feel cluttered with so many old games, they could've just added a separate section for legacy systems, which is essentially the same as filtering by system. There's nothing reasonable about this redesign, it's idiotic beyond belief. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeLordCrow13y Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Is anyone else currently unable to get anything to load on mobile or the PS4 console Store? I only managed to search two games on PS4 before they just stopped loading completely, and the Store on my phone refuses to load at all. Great freaking job Sony. ? Edit: Thank you @SnowxSakura for the links, seems to be the only way I can fully access the Store ATM.

cris3f Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 PSPrices has data for a new promo, so at least for now them and similar sites are still able to get what they need. Problem is for how long. Anyway they should have to let something compatible working as the PS3 and Vita stores were not updated on the consoles and they would not be able to get any data otherwise. But we can assume that in the near future the PS3 and Vita stores will be completely axed. It's what the moron in chief wants anyway. Force people to buy PS5 as we have a bigger margin there. Just numbers... No, sorry, for the gamers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post soliunasm Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I just had the displeasure of using the new site. This is genuinely worse than Youtube's random overhauls and outside of it looking more modern and not having to confirm a purchase on free items it's objectively worse in almost every single way. Wishlist is gone so enjoy trying to remember things you wishlisted months or even years ago and either didn't have the money or didn't want to buy at the time. You can't sort anymore period. Because you can't sort it means you can't see what free content was added to the store that week. You also can't sort by price when it comes to discounts. Searching for something doesn't give you the title at all, just the price and the image of the item. Just look at how terrible the front page looks like, it's awful. You literally have to scroll down past an enormous banner for the game they're advertising and then another four to six massive boxes just to get to the small "New Games" section, and then past the enormous Playstation Now banner to get to "Coming Soon" and these enormous boxes for other selections. You can't buy Vita, PSP, or PS3 content despite being able to just a couple days ago and using PS3 links doesn't even 404 you, it just hangs on a blank screen. The PSP store doesn't even work on the PSP itself since 2016 so enjoy. Also enjoy using your download list on the Vita since it's utter cancer and you can only push one download at a time with each download sending you back to the top of your download list. The Vita list also isn't filtered like the PSP's was once upon a time to just show Vita downloads. Your download list only covers GAMES, not the DLC you bought for said games, and you can't push DLC to your system at all without directly searching the DLC. It has to be done from the system itself despite this function working just fine for YEARS. Your download list also only covers PS4 and PS5 games, nothing else. Even PS4 games which have DLC don't show DLC on their MAIN GAME PAGE. Yakuza 6 has like eight or nine DLC packs that don't even show here. Game listings are done horribly as you have this giant banner of the game taking up the whole screen and in order to see anything you have to scroll a full screen down just to get a description of the item, the price, and the features. The features right below the banner are just what would be on the back of the box, not the nitty gritty. Features are missing from the pages as well like file sizes. It has to reload any page you click on at least once because apparently it can't keep track if you're logged in or not. There is so much wasted space in general between all the listings and none of it looks neat, and you have enormous boxes everywhere that push all the other content away. I am impressed at how borderline unusable the site is now when it was perfectly fine (If a bit slow and clunky) before. Edit: I just decided to click on the "Add-ons" tab to see what, if anything, may have been new. Turns out you can't even see anything more than the twelve recommended games they have listed and that's it. You have to manually search your game and potentially know the name of the add-ons specifically in order for them to even show up. Unbelievable.

Exovector Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Glad it's not just me who thinks the new store is an abomination. I'm assuming (hoping) that the update isn't complete and that wishlists are coming back in some way. If not... whew, boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I checked the old store on a daily basis and always went to the 'DLC' section to see what's new, just in case I missed anything like e.g. a new Soul Calibur character. What. The. Hell. Did Sony think?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Fun fact: PSDLE recognizes PS5 content when it generates the list from the old Web Store. It's labeled as "PS4" but all the other info is there. EDIT: i forgot to say, the PS5 content normally appears in the old Download List. No platform is associated to it though.

GoldenShaka Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) It's very noticeable when you access the revamped website that is just showcase of future games, it's like a retail store, you see boxes and click Buy it, all the previous functionality has gone, wishlists, etc. I can't see a point to access this new website. With psprices and youtube to know about the games is enough. Pointless website. Edit: for upcoming titles you can access PS discord.

BestUsername---- Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Are they done updating the Web Store? If so, this was a terrible decision on their part. I'm with everyone else here. Why isn't the DLC listed alongside the main games page? Why did they take the preview videos/images out? Why is the Deals section a mess? Why is the U.I. such a convoluted design? Why is there no Dark Mode for the eyes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have gone and used the PS4 Store via the console. Unlike the browser Store I can actually navigate and find the shit I want to search for. The old Store was still far superior. What a joke. I said everything I had to say about the new store at this point. Hopefully Sony will crash and burn just like what happened with the launch of the PS3 back in 2006. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astray404 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Now the webstore just sucks, there's no way to filter or sort games anymore, and the ps4 store is even worse (as usual). Besides, titles are also removed. Edited October 29, 2020 by Astray404 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously these are the links which are used in the old ps app version. Never noticed before that it's only such a simple additon in the url. So even if I'll be forced to do the app update, I can still use the old store. Nice! ☺️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeLordCrow13y Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Just a quick FYI to everyone: as recently as last night the old (US) store linked by @SnowxSakura was 100% functional on mobile. I used it to login, add a gift card to my account, and made 4 purchases that I received receipts for and was able to download to my PS4 later with no issues. Crossing my fingers that it continues to work indefinitely. ? Edited October 29, 2020 by TimeLordCrow13y 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed now though), obtained from various trophy guides (roughly an average of the time said by the 3 linked trophy guides). Still working out some kinks with scraping the new Sony store (im not using the old chihiro API, to futureproof the site) but I’m hoping to have a private beta up in a week or so. PM me if interested. Edited October 29, 2020 by NathanielJohn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ImMagnetz Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 Has anyone else noticed the new layout of the PlayStation Store on PC? It's horrible. I've always used the PC version as opposed to the console version because the console version is a pain in the ass to navigate with controller but they've really messed up the PC PlayStation Store. One of my least favourite things is that it doesn't actually show the name of the game underneath the game logos anymore. You have to try and tell what each game is based solely on the avatar for it, which can be difficult if the title of the game isn't clearly displayed on the avatar. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Darling Baphomet Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 Yep, the new store sucks ass. Reminds me of the update... a year ago? Where they removed the ability to search by genre. Seems like everything's getting turned into mobile sites, even outside of mobile now. I miss when website design was simple and straightforward. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgins Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It's not perfect but at least the Deals are portrayed accurately now. Old playstation site listed like only the same 5 games under PS Plus Discounts for some reason and oftentimes the "All Deals" section would break and show nothing. I still don't like the new site very much though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
