In-Game Chat Revealed?

TheSixthAxis: "Rumours only just now, obviously, but it looks like in-game chat has been revealed, via the first Trophy images published this morning. Obviously Eric couldn't show us this feature in his first video because it would also show Trophies (which he's saving for later)..."

Not to debunk this rumour but in th recent video of the in-game xmb from the playstation blog, he gets a message from Jeff so he goes on the menu, you can see compare trophies and create message etc. but the start new chat is faded making it look un-clickable.
I hope it is there though but they may just took it off for that video?

nofilter6579d ago

Hadn't noticed that, thanks. Maybe that version of 2.40 that they had was old in more than one way - who knows?

I guess we'll see soon enough.

-EvoAnubis-6579d ago (Edited 6579d ago )

I just noticed that myself and came here to say so. I think we can call this rumor debunked. In case someone else wants to see it too, watch the vid and pause at the 56sec mark.

nofilter6579d ago

I wouldn't debunk it just yet, let's wait and see. There's loads of reasons why it's greyed out on the video, including the recipient might have disabled incoming Chat requests, for example.

-EvoAnubis-6579d ago

Yeah. Wait and see it is. Judging from what I'm seeing thus far, we won't be waiting long.

Kirstenlottesovs6579d ago

Could be pretty cool to get in-game video chat.. Like a box in the upper right corner showing the buddy's cam, would be fun while playing..

EDIT: lol, FW 2.40 havent even come out yet and im already starting to whine about new features.. GOOD JOB, ME!!

Qbanboi6579d ago

IMO i will be there. But i will ask you to quit the game to do so. But who knows maybe Sony could fix that on the future, they've doing great lately

rexor07176579d ago

However, some features require you to shut out of your game. This is probably one of them.

Look at the date. 7/2 That's this Tuesday.

ActionBastard6579d ago

7/2 is Wednesday. Maybe they'll release it before the Store update?

tweaker6579d ago

Whoops I meant Wednesday. lol my mistake. Working overtime pass midnight is confusing my dates.

ActionBastard6579d ago

NP teaker! My heart broke a lil when I looked and saw it was Wed. Just trying to save you the hurt.

SL1M DADDY6579d ago

It's nice to see features like this coming to fruition and having not paid a cent for the service. Keep it coming Sony, make my experience on the PS3 even better! Free never felt so good!

ChrisGTR16579d ago

im pretty shure the ps3 already has the 'start a chat' feature. its the one that takes you to that one screen for video chat. im pretty shure if it was included he would of shown something as major as that.

nofilter6579d ago

It does, but this is in-game.

nutcase4u6579d ago

but it will take you out of the game if you decide to begin the chat. This feature will most likely bring you into the chat room that is currently available, but there's a chance that you could send an in game audio message under the "create a message" heading. It may give another option for audio message as opposed to just typing it.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle67d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7767d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde74d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy74d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12574d ago (Edited 74d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7775d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga75d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199275d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga75d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman75d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger75d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box75d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion74d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7275d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7575d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit75d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14975d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7775d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
