A brief view of what I think should be offered in Sony's Premium Service next year. I'd like to hear from you guys as to what you think should be offered.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
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.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
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.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
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.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
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
..."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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
First and foremost my damn avatars.
Okay but on a serious note, some type of access to betas earlier than every one else? Maybe almost instant access to closed betas if not instant? Personally I don't think Party Chat should really be a premium thing. I remember commenting on a site that had an idea as to how we could use ad-hoc party as our site. If it was made into a program to run in the background and not interfere with anything else then it could work as our party chat. Only thing is they took out the hotel and we're stuck with the houses so only 4 would be able to chat instead of 8.
After reading and commenting a bit on that article, Ad-hoc seems to have a lot of promise in being picked as a way to do party chat and could work well if Sony looks into it and thus wouldn't have to be premium ( even though I personally don't think it will be anyway ).
Would be funny though if they gave those with the premium a bit of a discount on the PSN stuff maybe like a 5~10%. Wishful thinking, but still a nice concept to think about.
I just want plenty of sales from the premium service to keep me busy.
I love counting money for sony.
BETAs is my thing.....screw trying to win them all the time from diff. websites or waiting for an e-mail
5 extra game sharing would be a cool feature indeed, cross game chat maybe should be standard when it comes imo but psn rentals or full ps3 game rentals would be good and I would def consider a movie rental premium as I pay £72 a month for skyHD at the moment so that would be a cheaper alternative as I only want skyHD for movies really not fussed about sport in HD. I think for £40 a year I would pay for game/movie rentals, 5 game shares extra, all dynamic themes/avatars free and access to betas and behind the scenes info/footage during game development would be worth the pennies
an itunes-esq program needs to be added in order to get lots of people interested. All the ps3 and especially psp owners would eat that up!
