MCV: President of SCEE David Reeves says platform holder is set to unveil new clampdown
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
how is that a news??
NO!!! really ?
Lawls, they'll have to put in some pretty hardcore security features in the next firmware, as well as some crazy incentives to make people WANT to upgrade. Otherwise everyone will just wait until the FW is cracked and the CFW is available. I'm not losing my homebrew for bs. I'd use OFW if any of these conditions are met (which are not likely):
I. PSN access on PSP finally, so I can chat with my friends without having to remote play into my PS3.
II. In-game XMB access on PSP (hahahahaha).
III. Some user generated game tool for PSP essentially allowing anyone who has the system the capabilities of developing games for it.
All of those are pipe dreams, the first one could actually happen, the second I don't see happening on THIS PSP, and the third might not ever but it'd be cool if it did.
I always figured Sony knew how prevalent the piracy was on PSP but was allowing it so they can get their systems out there. In that aspect they've been succeeding. Even though the DS sales still outnumber the PSP at a little over 2/1, the name and the system is out there now for the next round.
Now it won't be as much as an uphill battle since they've already proven to be a contender in the handheld market against Nintendo, which has not been done since the Gameboy launched.
For the next PSP they just need to do the requisite upgrades, add some sweet features to keep people from WANTING to hack it to all hell, and the rest will follow.
David Reeves is next to leave Sony's camp.
bit late aint he?
