Finally they are gonna release on the same day as 360. Something fans have wanted for a long time now. So 360 owners can no longer say they get DLC content first.

Karum5895d ago

I've got used to it being on a Thursday tbh, had no problem with it really.

Getting DLC you're looking forward to a bit earlier though is a good thing, hopefully it doesn't mean more DLC releases miss their deadline and get pushed back a week even more than it does at the moment.

Pennywise5895d ago

I don't care which day they are released. Wednesday is better than Thursday... but, I wish they would update the NA store earlier in the day. Waiting until 9PM eastern is stupid.

Baka-akaB5895d ago

I dont really understand how can anyone say "meh" to earlier updates .

It's hardly anything stellar but a good change nonetheless

Ju5895d ago

Noooo. They copied the competition. Again.

/s

LOL

The Great Melon5895d ago (Edited 5895d ago )

Thursday never bothered me a bit. I have college to worry about during the week, so getting it earlier only tempts me more to not work when I should. I am just glad the new stuff is there on Friday when I have time to play games.

SWORDF1SH5895d ago

News Just In. Microsoft will change the day that they update Live. It is changing from a wednesday to a tuesday.

What are the odds of that lol.

Weaksauce11385895d ago

I have no idea why thay havent made it Tuesdays (the same days as game releases). I'm tired of waiting for launch DLC and delays on getting PSP games for my Go!

Their archetecture needs work since they can't just push content multiple times a week either like Live can.

makingdamage5895d ago

I´m a fan and I havent wanted it but I understand if a lot of people do. I kind of like the updates to be on thursday, the day before the weekend start (that is friday 16:00). Almost just in time for the weekend which is when I got more time to play.

@pennywise : actually the SCEA use the pacific time for the update so... when its 9pm for you its something around 5pm for SCEA (or at least those who update the psn)

But will the North American psn follow this cause, if they dont follow the european psn its really stupid!

Pennywise5895d ago

I understand that... But why update at the end of their workday? Do it @ Noon pacific. I like that idea.

Mr_Luke5895d ago

Tbh, i don't care at all about the day... i care only if they skip the week =P or if they delay things.

koehler835895d ago

Must be nice.

Personally I'm not concerned about the day.. I'm more pissed off by the times. SCEA strolls into their nice warm California offices mid-afternoon and expect those of us on the other end of the continent to stay up past the Daily Show and wait for them if we have any desire to actually ENJOY the things the update brings.

A**holes.

Crystallis5895d ago

I agree Penny, the day change doesnt matter to me just the 9pm time is crazy. I wish they change the time to at least 7pm est time.

JD_Shadow5895d ago

If you think about it, though, it may be earlier than you think, because we all may be going on when we first see it hit N4G's front page as when they actually update the store. The store updates, and THEN, someone sees the news, submits it, waits for the approvals, and waits for the news to hit 50 degrees. I don't know how many people subscribe to the RSS or whatnot, but I can imagine that Sony would've already be an hour into the update being posted to the blog before N4G users who only get their news from this site know that anything has happened.

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.

solideagle17d 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

Relientk7717d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d 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.

Soy24d 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.

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

Cacabunga25d ago

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

S2Killinit25d ago (Edited 25d 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.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga25d 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

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d 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.

medman25d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger25d 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_Box26d 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.

robtion25d 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.

darthv7225d 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.

Agent7525d ago

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

S2Killinit25d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14925d ago

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

Lightning7725d 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.
