Rumors are starting again about a PSP Phone. This time with some good reasons behind it.
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.
Or did I just make that up right now?
WTH
all these articles are just slowing down sales,
PS3 slim that
PSP Go there
PSPhone blah....
Just wait until Sony announces things and stop with the speculation
They keep referring to the PSP as a gaming device instead of as a handheld device. Most likely to keep from admitting that DS and Iphone/Ipod is kicking them in the teeth when it comes to sales.
If done correctly, the PSP could easily become the leading handheld video chat phone that everyone has been waiting for. We've seen such products in futuristic movies, and we know the tech exists to bring this to market. So basically, it's a given that the kings ransom will go to the first company who puts this type of product into consumers hands, and Sony is in the best position to make it happen.
Will Sony give the people what they want, or wait until apple or someone else beats them to the market... well only time will tell.
I think if Sony came out with this and made a nice SDK for developers to wrap their head around, they could definitely be in a good running to be a premier competitor to other phone manufacturers.
