Sony Introduces 'make.believe'

GamersDigest writes;

"Taking centre stage at IFA, the world's biggest consumer electronics fair, Sony today announced 'make.believe' (pronounced: make dot believe), its new group-wide brand message.

Symbolising Sony's spirit of creativity and innovation, it is the first time Sony has introduced a single overarching brand message for all of its entertainment and electronics businesses around the globe. 'make.believe' unites Sony's communication efforts across electronics, games, movies, music, mobile phones and network services."

So basically the integration of their gaming ideas into the rest of their business?

Captain Tuttle6129d ago (Edited 6129d ago )

I'm guessing it's the other way around. The PS3 is already a multi-media device. PSN is becoming very important to Sony corporate (as opposed to only the Entertainment Division or whatever it's called now).

Godmars2906129d ago

Sadly that's something they should have been thinking about at the same time as the PS3. Things like vidzone would have been there day-one.

pharmd6129d ago

nothing beats the original "you are not ready" slogan they had with PS1

Information Minister6129d ago

I always considered "live in your world, play in ours" to be their best slogan.

pharmd6129d ago

@ Information Minister:

Yeah, I really liked that one too...

i just liked the way they presented the u R not (e) for the commercial... i dont know, they're both good i guess....

ReservoirDog3166129d ago

I don't know. I've always liked that robotic-sounding "Playstation" from awhile back. Sony must agree cause they brought it back.

Oh by the way. Everyone always says Sony has terrible marketing. Well, nearly every advertisement for Madden 10 on the NFL Channel is for the PS3. And they're good commercials too.

My dad loved the "Play in our world live in yours" and I personally think it was their best. And yeah Sony is stepping up to the plate. I saw a big PS3 banner on myspace yesterday and it wasn't one of those random ads it was there no matter how many times you refreshed. Plus I actually saw a commercial for them (Haven't seen one since the tentacle ones)

Obviously part of Stringers vertical integration strategy. I hope they pull it off.

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.

solideagle46d 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

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.

DarXyde53d 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.

Soy53d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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.

Relientk7755d ago

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

Cacabunga54d ago

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

S2Killinit54d ago (Edited 54d 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.

neutralgamer199254d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga54d 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

1nsomniac54d ago (Edited 54d 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.

medman54d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger54d 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_Box54d 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.

robtion54d 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.

darthv7254d 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.

Agent7554d ago

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

S2Killinit54d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14954d ago

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

Lightning7754d 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.
