so that it will be implemented.

I agree.More games should have this.Sony should have its 1st party games all have custom music and screenshots at least

its true

Yes take a HS pic and display that pic next to your trophy(whenever that comes :/ ) case in Home

Frames need to come down in price IMO

They should also have a where you can have your room as the background of ps3 with the eye

I can't imagine using it anyway, lol.

without M$ real time and money would be spent in th eps3 from developers and you would have use of all the features that the ps3 has

and this is what happens when you dont force the standards upon developers. i wouldnt mind if a game gets delayed for a month and a half if they are integrating stuff like this into the game if sony forces them to do so.

its just like the the statement that I said about home. how can home succeed if there are no standards to integrate these games into Home. Im surprised that sony forced devs to integrate their games with Trohpies.

If you force these abilities on developers, we get a better game. we get games that constantly talk to the OS and a better sense of community. Those that disagree with me aren't seeing the big picture. Why do you think XBL has a better sense of community than the PSN currently??? Why do you think the 360s operating system feels more advanced than the PS3s OS when you interact with it with your games, despite the PS3 being a much more powerful system?

if you think what im saying is fanboyish, then you are clearly not seeing the big picture. If I were any PS3 onwer right now, I would do an internet strike at the Blog so they start hearing about our issues with this situation.

Every first party title should have the feature...there's really no excuse.

Lol. Screenshots are a new feature of console gaming.

/smug.

Not every software house would be willing to sacrifice that. So there is an excuse indeed.

i would like to record when i do some burnout takendowns .... etc

Wipeout HD has this feature.

Ugh, I'm tired of Sony implementing cool features, but developers aren't taking advantage of it because Sony isn't dropping the iron boot on their lazy, sorry, cheap asses. Screencap support is just one of many features that we sorely miss. Let's go over the list that's possible with PS3 but hasn't been widely implemented due to developer-stupidity.

-1080i/p upscale
-Custom Soundtracks
-Youtube Capture support
-Screen-capture support
-Full HDD Installation
-Multi-PSN Sign in
-Push to Talk Button
-PS-Home Support Game Launching
-Trophy unlockables like Avatar clothes, or music unlocks

Could you imagine if every PS3 game had these features listed? When it came to figuring out which MPF version to buy for PS360 owners: the choice would be very clear which version gave more bang for the buck. I cannot understand whatsoever what is preventing developers from doing this, and what is preventing Sony from mandating this? For **** sakes: there's a 7th SPU entirely dedicated to XMB-related things like the above listed. I can understand Custom Soundtracks being a bit harder, but everything else listed shouldn't be an excuse.

What Kills me is that RE5 supports home rewards which is a 3rd party game , while KZ2 , Infamous , and many other exclusives do not . How pathetic is that ! if Sony's Devs did not make use of their systems features who the heck will do ??

Sony need to make this available from the XMB, not only this but music in the XMB and ingame chat from the XMB. they cant expect developers to take advantage of exactly everything, sony needs to do it themselves...

Actually though they use their own interface, both Wipeout HD & Motorstorm P.R. as well as Nobynoby boy use the Sony screenshot API to accomplish their in game captures, Wipeout HD was even mentioned specifically when this feature was announced not sure how the author missed this.

Another IDIOTIC comment , you're such a disgrace to PS3 fans .

What do GG , Naughty Dog , Insomniac and many 1st party devs have to do with MicroSoft ?

Think before you speak .

This is the biggest gripe I have with Sony. They always fall short of being able to have one more checkmark against the competition. Screenshot capture is very cool and all Sony has to do is implement it into the PS3 as an OS feature. The same goes for YouTube uploading. While more difficult to do for both developers and consumers, it should have been a mandatory OS feature/developer feature such as Trophies.

im pritty disappointed tbh they dont do this feature but they also dont do in game music everyone wants it but devs cba recently released games should have it infamous doesnt i think sony should make all there exclusives from now on have in game music and screen capture

it makes the features they have let the ps3 capable of running being such a waste

how are you supposed to get a good screenshot with perfect timing when you are busy using the controller playing..? sure, that headshot would have looked nice as a picture but it's too late now, ain't it!?

Pacific rift has screenshot feature,once the picture has been taken, you ouput it to your HD, then you can send to anyone u want. Just becomes a pic in your normal picture folders.

so you're not going to see all at once youtube uploading, screenshot capture, custom music, etc. It can't all be mandated.

a lot of psn games have this feature and is very useful to show off (Uncharted 2)or help other gamers (PJ Monsters and Comet Crash).

The screenshoot feature is nice for good looking game.. the photo mode in Motorstorm:PR is a very useful if you want your own wallpaper..

Motorstorm Pacific Rift lets you take in game screen shots, love that game.

They said no game has a screenshot feature but wipeout hd has a screenshot feature.

Wipeout HD
Motorstorm PR
LBP
MGS4
LInger in Shadows
Resistance
Uncharted 2

These titles have screen grab function, the person who wrote this article clearly does not know what he is talking about.

Didn't MGS4 has something similar to this inwhich you could take pic ingame and use it as a wallpaper?

Most XBLA titles have screenshots and trailers.

doesn't wipeout support that .. or perhaps this is about something else all together???

I should point out, a lot of the games being mentioned do have screenshot features, but they're all implimented in game via their own systems (similar to the custom soundtracks).

This is talking about being able to take a screenshot from the XMB.

WipEout, as an example, does a little post processing once you take the image.
MGS4 isn't native resolution and adds copyright information.

These are both in-game solutions, not XMB.

Don't really care about screen grab but would like it if Sony made custom soundtracks mandatory although some games aren't really suited to custom soundtracks but I think it should still be at the user's discretion.

Not the games like Pixeljunk Eden or まいにちいっしょ.

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.
