But splinter cell was poor on PS3.

Unless they mean conviction. Ahh yes it's going multiplat.

they are hated for not developing for the ps3 yet many ps3 gamers did not even acknowledge valve till this gen. Valve are a pc dev primarily. the 360 only get's the spoils the bread crumbs so to speak because the architect resembles that of a pc. Valve is about cost effectiveness and it's not cost effective for them to focus on the ps3. they aren't as big as ubisoft, they don't get the financial backing from sony like a insomniac does and they are independent. Hate Gabe and Valve all you want but hate them for a legitimate reason not because they don't worship the console you do.

Some of us take gaming way to seriously. I say if your not getting paid for it what does it matter to you?

Does this mean they are good at developing for the ps3?And if so, does this mean that they may possibly be announcing splintercell conviction for the PS3 at E3?Stay tuned ;)...

someone sign up value asap

It lists developers attending this 2 day event in Paris and that SCEE are attending the same event as well. Unless I'm reading it wrong...

EDIT: Re read it again and yeah its an event be held in Paris not hosted by SCEE, they among others are just attending and SCEE is hosting a special thing to help people better understand the PS3.

a few posters above noted this as well. the title and quote are a bit misleading.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
